Discovery

[Pegasus Knight Florina]

"The winds of change are blowing..." The children of the village were gathered around a huge bonfire, each one's gaze trained on the elderly storyteller sitting on a wooden stool in front of the dancing flames. "Yes, they are blowing, singing their soft song. But who listens to the beautiful winds' music? Alas, most are completely oblivious to the wondrous world hidden in the trees... Yes, the legends of the Fae are told time and time again, but are they only pure myth? Or are they something more...?"

The listeners all stood up as Volke finished the epilogue that he told at the end of every story that involved the Fae. When most of them were gone, however, a select few remained whose destiny would be changed forever...


"Thank you for the wonderful tale, sir," Vashiel said politely to the elder storyteller. "It was exhillarating, as always."

"Not a problem, youngster," Volke chuckled. "I've been doing it every nights for years, and you don't see me complaining? But dear child, why have you not returned home? The moon is high, and your parents shall be expecting you."

"I told them I'd be out for a while. Thanks again, and good night to you." Vashiel walked over to his little group of friends, smiling widely. "You guys ready?" He asked. He was sure they knew what he was talking about.

Eric nods, "of course!" he says excited. He's happy that he found a good group of friends that accepted him...due to his small stature and his generally gentle demeanor most boys in the village wouldn't. The fact that he perfered books over roughhousing doesn't help much. "I'm ready for anything!" he exclaims, smiling, excited to wander into the hidden forest, eager to explore, regardless of the rumors that have been going around that no one that enters is seen again. This is the chance to live out what he's read in books...and won't give this chance up for the world.

[Banzai!!]

"I can't believe you two actually think that we are going to find something. You act as if we were in the dark ages when people believed in dragons. I might as well come though. I hate to say it but there is nothing else going on in my life right now." Alex said in his usually brainiac fashion.

Modlus gave something akin to a noncommittal shrug, though in his breast did his heart beat with enthusiasm. Certainly anything could be more fun than being a tanner, with a father that expected him to take up his trade upon the day that he retired. Though a hunt in the forest could prove to be more thrilling than most (if not all) things if they happened to find what they were after.

Donald nods. "Lets just go. I want to see a real fairy girl maybe I can draw her"

Dan spoted the group of kids gathered "I wonder what are they planning to do this late..." he said outloud. "Hmm... If I remember it right, they were the group with the wacky ideas... not that they talk too much..." He carefully watched them.

[Pegasus Knight Florina]

"Well, it's good to know that we all made it. Let's go, then." With a nod to Volke, Vashiel walked to the forest's outskirts, waiting for the others to follow.

The six teens walked deep inside the forest, wary of every twig and leaf that cracked as it was stepped on. "Whoa, this is a lot creepier than I thought..." Vashiel sighed. The light was filtering through the treetops, drowning the forest in an eerie light.

Modlus kept his eyes on his surroundings, trying to be as silent as he could. Sneaking around at night was something that he had done plenty of times during his childhood, and had reasons, even if far fewer, to do so every once and a while during the last few years of his life. One thing that he wondered about, was the mist that was beginning to roll in, a ghostly white in the moonlight. It made him wonder if the Faerywood plays, the recent entertainment on the stage inspired by Volke, had used the mist to re-enact real natural conditions. He supposed that he would likely find out soon enough, whether or not mist appeared as it did, when it did.

(OOC: I hope you don't mind about the plays, Florina. I just figured that it would make sense for Volke to inspire others to take his storytelling into another medium. And I couldn't resist saying "Faerywood" instead of "Hollywood." XD)

[Beyond]

(( OCC: A little twist, can I? If not, scratch it. ))

"Ehh? What are they thinking? Going into the forest this late! What if a wolf or a bear attack?" - Dan though - " ...That creepy old man and his stories, they have probably believed him and now they are hunting fairies...".

Dan was doubtful, it was an awkward situation, he couldnt posible forget about them becouse he cared about them, they were neighbors after all. They were going away and if he didnt do anything he may lost the chance.

"Hey old man..." Dan spoke to Volke "Its too late to go inside the forest why didnt you discouraged them?" Dan looked arround "And there isnt anybody else around... arrgh... I ll go and bring them back! you go tell somebody where they went, they must not be that far..." and with that said he left Volke to go behind the group.

[Kara-chan]

"Wow! Creepy!" Eric says, laughing happily. Following the group, "I hope we find stuff like in Volke's stories! I'd love to meet a fairy!" not nervous at all despite the mysterious setting

[Banzai!!]

((I also have a twist which can be read on my sign-up thingy.))

Alex sighs as he follows the group into the forest.
"You actually believe Volke, Eric? The old man is crazy."
Alex spots a flower out of the corner of his eye.
What is this?
Alex rips it out of the ground and takes a whiff of it.
Strange, it has the smell of a daphidle but the color of a rose.

"Yeah, so what?" a little defensive. "Hey...what's that...it's pretty." going over and smelling, "wow...will you look at that. Something that's not normal. Maybe those crazy stories might be true after all," a smirk on his face.

[Banzai!!]

"Nah, I have never been this far into the woods before. So it should be natural that I should find new spieces of flower, even though I have been called a geek time and time again."

"Heh, I'm sure." smiling and laughing, "so when you see a unicorn you'll rejoyce over seeing a new species of horse?"

[Mitera Nikkou]

Modlus followed the conversation, though he didn't want to join in. He thought about warning them about the dangers of making too much noise, but figured that that would ruin the fun of the adventure. As it was, he wasn't too careful about how hard his footfalls came into contact with the forest floor.
