Like a river - Rowan - 01-29-2018 I had somehow found myself in an even scarier place than the rainforest. My heart pounded, as I cautiously moved through the trees. I wasn't even entirely sure how it had happened. One moment I was following mama and Selene, and the next they were gone. In fact everything up to this point seemed hazy. My body shook and my eyes skittered around in confusion and fear. Where was I?
Mama and I had only just left our cave, and now... How can these things happen so fast? Mama?! MAMA?! Panic began to set in, my lessons of safety from mama getting thrown out the window, my limited experience getting the best of me. Tears streamed down my face as I raced through the dark wood. The dark movement of a shadow ahead caused me to come to a screeching halt. My poor young heart pounding so hard it was it was trying to escape my chest. My breathing was heavy, and my body trembled as I tried to back away in a scrambled disorganized manner. I managed to get my legs under me and try to make my escape by jumping over a fallen log, but I don't clear it, and my knees catch causing me to come crashing down on the other side. It is at this point I give up. Sobs escape my maw, as I pull myself up against the back of the log I had so gracefully come crashing over. My legs fold beneath my small frame and my maw presses into the corrupted earth. I close my eyes, but the tears continue to stream down my face. I shook awaiting my fate, the pain, to be torn apart limb by limb. I just wanted mama. I could be imagining it, but I swore I heard a figure approaching. It was my end. I tried to remember the warmth of mother. The gentle steps of Selene as she traveled my back. Please, let me make it back to them. I'm not ready to go yet...

@Rowan RE: Like a river - Rowan - 01-30-2018 It wasn't my imagination. My eyes squeeze tighter as the sound comes closer and then suddenly stops. A small whimper escapes my maw as I prepare for the tearing of flesh and what I believe is my certain demise.
But it doesn't come. What comes instead is a deep gentle voice. "Are you okay little?" I am rather surprised, and my eyes open to look on a rather terrifying face. I wonder, is it Kisamoa? He had destroyed mama's old home, but we had heard rumors of him being kind here in the rift... But like all gods, they could turn. Did Kisamoa play with his food? Was this all an act? But concerned lines were etched all over his huge monstrous face. "Are you hurt anywhere?" For the moment my crying had been subdued, and silently I shook my head. In truth I hadn't checked. If I had I would have noticed the scraped knee's, but I had yet to even feel the pain. Despite his features, the creature spoke to me in kind soft tones. I felt inclined to trust him. But I was one to err on the side of caution. "One so young should not be traveling out on their own. Are you lost?" The creature asks, and I spend a few moments wondering if I should grace him with my voice just yet. I decide not yet. I nod quietly, my eyes watching his every move, before slightly moving to watch the orb that had moved towards me. I recognized it. It was like the orb that the Watcher had given us. It's warm light exposed my tear stained face, but brought me some sense of peace. I watched it for a moment before looking to the behemoth once more. Are you Kisamoa? Notes; Lols. She thinks he's Kisamoa cause he's really big and a little scary x'D talk talk talk talk Rowan Feels like we're on the edge right now I wish that I could say I'm proud I'm sorry that I let you down RE: Like a river - Roscorro - 01-30-2018
@Rowan Rosco always find all the lost babies. xD She's too cute. RE: Like a river - Rowan - 01-30-2018 A chuckle rolls from the creature, my ears swerving to the side nervously, despite it's warm tones.
"No, little dove, I am not Kisamoa. Though I have met him before. He gave me this floating light, actually." My eyes look to the orb. So, Kisamoa was nice? I watch with wonder as he nudges the orb "I think it likes you." A nervous smile lifts my features as the warm orb comes closer, and so gently splits into two. The one closest to me ebbs closer, and I lift my muzzle to its warm light. A sense of hope fills me. Just as it's meant to. "And it has decided to give you a gift!" My nervous smile relaxes and I look at the behemoth and give him a true smile. I don't think he shall eat me. Then he slowly began his descent to the ground, whilst doing so giving me his name. Roscorro. "And I actually look after a filly that is a about the same age as you are." I was still pondering his name. Wondering how it felt to roll off the tongue. My name is Rowan... I tell him, while much more at ease, I still do not fully trust him. It's in my nature. I wonder about the filly however. What is the filly's name? I ask, simple curiosity getting the better of me. And I suppose I think it's the polite thing to ask, after all. It is now that I feel the sting of my knee's and tenderly I stretch them in front of me, only grimacing slightly. I believe I will be safe with this Roscorro. Do you happen to know where we are?

@Rowan RE: Like a river - Rift Presence - 02-02-2018
Despite the sharp heat that covers the land this time of year, there’s a soothing cold embrace that stretches out to you. In it, you smell a scent faintly of cinnamon and vanilla as it seems to envelope you, reaching for something within you that it cannot touch. As it realizes that it cannot corrupt what is yours, it disperses as quickly as it came, leaving a cold hollow feeling in its wake that’s quickly covered up by the impenetrable heat of Scorch. the Rift simply explode | ACCEPTANCE NOTES : Rowan | Magic: Offensive: Ability to summon webs of electrically charged frost that cause electrical burns on contact. RE: Like a river - Rowan - 02-13-2018 Roscorro gave off a warmth that many didn't posses. A gentle giant. His voice rumbles as he tells me the name of the girl he found. The name, so familiar. It was probably a coincidence. "I have a sister named Gwyn too. Mama told me about her. And daddy. They disappeared. Mama still searches for them. As he begins to speak of the portal my eyes looked at the surrounding area before looking at him again. No. I was born here. Mama isn't from here though. She's from... Hel... Helovia? A soft sigh escaped my lips, and I wondered what kind of place mama had come from. She had told me stories of course, but I still struggled to imagine it. What was life without the scorching heat, and the terrible cold, and the eternal rain? What was a place without seeping corruption like? I just couldn't do it. I knew mama missed it though. She talked about the mountains blissfully, and you could see that it was all she wanted. She's here... I don't know where though.. I don't remember how I got here. But I know that she's here somewhere. Just... Not close. It was then that I felt it, and I grew quite as a chill came over me. I wasn't sure what exactly was happening, just tat the heat was suddenly gone. And I was so cold. And a strange scent. My nostrils flare at the pleasant smell, warm in contrast to the cold, and my eyes search for the invisible cold presence that envelopes me. And just like that. The searching is gone and I am left in the heat. That... My eyes look at Roscorro questioning what just happened. N-Nevermind.. Could you help me find my mama? I think we should leave here. talk talk talk talk @Roscorro Sorry this took so long dear!
