As the Winds Blow | Naga, zons

[Naga]

breaking waves of change

She couldn't wait for summer, this damned cold was getting to her, making her somewhat irritable. Having no winter coat was torture, especially since this winter had been a cold one. Though the one thing she couldn't complain about was the amazing colors that the sky tossed down onto the sparkling snow, making it reflect beautiful hues of oranges and pinks. She sighed, watching the very few small clouds slowly float like cottony pollen through the sky, as the sun began to sink below the horizon. The trees and everything else in the forest surrounding her were black silhouettes, quiet and tranquil on this chilly evening. Even though she could now be back in her new, somewhat warmer home now, she still liked the comfort the forest gave her. She missed the trees of the jungle, yearned to shift and climb them. But she could do that no longer. She signed and took a step forward, at least the Amazons were still alive, and they have a new home to thrive in.

As she basks in thought, not paying much attention to the world around her. Our new queen still taking in what she had been gifted. Though it is not long til the sound of heavy hoof falls into the crunching wet snow caught her attention, her head raised, ears darting forward and back. She is not afraid, she is never afraid. Amazon woman are none to be trifled with..

A voice, deep, and accompanied by a thick accent that prodded at her earliest memories, came from behind her. The man, handsome and well built stopped a few paces from her, his bay roan coat amd white markings really made her think she knew him. His words were respectful and sweet, she had never been addressed as such before. She tried to remember, and it is his mismatched eyes that draw her in. As he speaks again....it hits her. Her voice is surprised, yet still deep and made of velvet.

"Hello! Yes, we have met before! I am Naga, and of course I knew Scorch, she took me in as a weanling. Though I never got the pleasure to meet Hestoni. You are Simeon am I correct? Scorch's only son? I was young then, I have since grown, but I am surprised you felt you knew me. It is good to see you again."

She relaxes more now, she lets one leg rest, sending one side of her chubby rump down. She felt better now, knowing he is the son of her savior and not some random bachelor looking for some tail. She finds comfort in his aged, mismatched eyes and can see just a bit of Scorch in him. She is relieved to find yet more of the Amazon residents, she was afraid they were all gone. But, luck seemed to have been on her side since the shift. Maybe soon she would even get her ability to shift back, but for now, she must take what this new world gives to her, and cherish them. Never to take them for granted again. She smiles softly at the Amazon man, her voice full of happiness.

"It's been so long since I have seen you. Have you been well? The Amazons are doing well now, though we are still searching for more of them. I am queen now...

The words sound strange coming out of her mouth, but she hopes him proud of her, since it was his mother who deemed her worthy of taking in and raising as a fine sister of the Jungle. She continues again.

"The fairies gave us a new home, it is not our beloved jungle, but it is beautiful no less. A coast line, with dunes and high cliffs. It is definitely a sight to behold. You should come visit."

She is just so eager, it felt as if she were talking to Scorch again...just like the old days.  She thinks back to her younger years, watching the elder sisters go about their duties of recruiting, mock battling, and just milling around chatting. She thinks so deep she can almost smell the humid sweet smell of the soil, the spirit of the jungle pulsing underneath, its sounds filling her ears. But soon she is brought back to the cold of the forest, though she is happy Simeon is here with her now. More hope, and that was definitely what she needed. She hoped he was well, she couldn't wait to hear about how his life has been since she had seen him last. She looked to him eagerly, ears perked forward, eyes twinkling.
