A meeting on the planes (Miumi+Minara)

[minara]

Minara walked accross the vast grassy planes of Veldt, the wind blowing behind him whisking his hair out infront of him. He enjoyed the quiet times he could spend in beautiful places and he considered this a rather beautiful place. There a was grass for miles in every direction, and far off in the distance to the left were mountains, just barely visible from where he was. Minara decided now would be a good time to sit and enjoy his time in this peaceful place before going onto the next town which would probably be very busy and noisy. Minara sat on the grass, his knees tucked up and rested his head on them.

Minara took a deep breath and sighed, he loved to be outside, there was nothing like it to him. His wings were spread out as to block some of the sun that was behind him, it was still very early in the morning, the sun had only just risen above the horizon line and was making long shadows everywhere. Minara brushed the grass with his left hand, as if stroking a pet, then he decided to write down in his diary about what had happened to him yesturday. Not alot had happened to him yesturday except that he had come across a very strange animal, it looked like a horse with a curved horn that reach almost the back of its head.

Minara hadn't know the name of the animal but he did like to look at it and it didn't seem to mind him being there. But it had walked off after a few minutes after hearing a sound which didn't seem to frighten it. Minara had assumed that it was more of the animal calling for it but he wasn't sure of that either. Minara had even included a little sketch of the animal in his diary so that he could ask someone what it was called. Minara's eyes scanned the horizon, seeing nothing he returned to his diary.

Most people probably would have though of having a diary was pointless but this was his diary, he hadn't been travelling for very long and he wanted to write everything down he wanted to remember, including how long it had taken him to walk, or in some cases fly, from place to place and the route he had taken. Minara was feeling extremely happy about today, he thought it would be a good day. Minara yawned a bit, he hadn't been awake very long and was still on the verge of sleep. He closed his eyes and pictured some of the things he had seen, before he knew it, he opened his eyes and the sun was directly above. How could I have fallen asleep?

The emptiness of heart, is worse then death.

O nce the battle with that beast had ended something within Miumi had snapped, he had chosen to run away from everything even if it was only for a while, as he closed his eyes for the briefest of moments he nearly screamed as imagines of twisted limbs and blood was everywhere. As he shook his head attempting to wake himself from the deepest of all sleeps. As he lay within a small hut owned by a lonely old man as he just lay there. His hands draped casually over his stomach as if to protect him from something. Part of him felt like he should of done another sending but those pained him more then anyone knew. To see the dead floating away, occasionally he saw faces of people he cared about and then there were those he knew had even known. As he heard a knocking on the door a small elderly woman stood there, she looked up her eyes were anicent and were a strangly mixed colored as the boy stood there and stared at him. She smiled revealing straight teeth, the way she was hunched seemed all so familiar. Slowly her body straightened and the hood covering her head fell backwards. She seemed so similar but Miumi wasn't able to remember it. It all looked so familiar but parts of her had changed it seemed this was his Spiran mother but she was different. Her aging had stopped and even reversed slightly it seemed. Was this person guiding him some where.

She looked to be around twenty when the real one had been much older around sixty when they had died. He seemed deep in thought before the woman's voice pierced the air as it did it was soft and loving the way only a mother's could be. "You look weary young one, have you been on a long journey?" He just stared at them faint tears were within the color of his eyes. He just stared at her while she just reached into her pocket taking the boy's hand and placing something within it before she turned not even letting him answer. For the time he stood frozen before he looked down at his hand for a short bit, there was a series of links that were tightly made, it contained a series of gems that were actually elemental spheres it seemed, like artic wind compressed, as he adjusted it so it was a charm bracelet he looked up ahead he noticed a name engraved into the one chain link, it was his own and it had a small heart dug down into it the chain so deep it would never fade. He watched as the shadowdy figure disappeared upon a horizon his hand reached out as if to stop her but she just turned and smiled and even waved, this was quite a strange person. Soon he found himself speaking to himself for some reason it was the only thing that was keeping him sane.

"Who was it, could it be who i think it.

W hile the song that was life was attempting to draw him into his dance as he just gently turned his head and walked out the door with his stuff leaving a small bag of money upon the table. His hair was lashed around him like a whip as he just turned and smiled as he looked around he felt so alone as he walked across the plain monsters ran rampid, countless of them triedd to get in his way only to be rewarded bya suddenly spell of magic or something much worse, as he noticed a figure on the horizon they seemed so peaceful he just slowly walked by this was the demon of Spira, the summoner the one who held so many people's fiath and hopes in his hands.

"I dream of the heavens beyond the skies."

[minara]

Minara saw a pyrefly drift across the planes, watching it dance over the grass, he was still not completely sure what pyreflies where but he knew they had to do with the dead. Minara wondered how something that looked so beautiful could have anything to do with such a depressing subject as death. Now that the sun was higher in the sky, Minara could make out more of the horizon, he could see mountains over to one side, quite clear against the blue sky, and he even saw a small village at the very edge of his sight, if he walked there it would take him a good two hours to reach the village.

Minara then saw even more pyreflies drift across the planes, he felt he was back in a peaceful place, a place that would mean him no harm. Minara stood up and dusted off the grass from his robes and out of his hair which had trailed across the floor for a while, his wings felt a little stiff cause they had been open the whole time he had been asleep. A breeze drifted across the plane, causeing the grass to dance and flutter into the sky. Minara used his left had to brush a strand of hair from infront of his face.

This seems like such a peaceful place, but then again, everywhere seems like that at first, then just as you let your guard down, something happens which wouldn't have happened had your guard still been up... Minara turned slightly on the spot to get more of a view of his surroundings when he saw a shadowy figure, he felt slightly scared cause he couldn't clearly make out what it was, all he could tell we that it stood on two legs, at least from where he was standing that was all he could tell.

Minara's hair flicked out behind him as the wind picked up a bit again, sending small flowers wheeling through the air and spinning as if they were ballroom dancers. Minara took a few steps towards the figure to try and see what it was, a few steps closer to it he could tell that it was at least humanoid, but this didn't help to put him at ease, most the things that had hurt him in his life had looked human and he had even known them but it didn't help him in any way. Minara's wings were pressed quite tight against his back to try and make sure the other person couldn't see them from where they were but he was ready to take flight at any moment incase they seemed like they were going to attack him.
