this is fact not fiction, should have held them in your lungs.
the words I said are spinning, reeling; your wide-eyed dreams weigh a ton.
The fresh scent of pine offered a crisp feeling of winter amid the punishing heat of summer.  Of course, ever since her visit to the Tree of Light, Taivas had been blessed with refuge from the harsher side of the elements.

The strange bauble which the Matrons gave to her was fastened tight in her mane with the other beads, yet changed resembled a snowflake which radiated a cold breath straight from freeze which relieved her skin from the awful heat of the season.  With her winter coat full shed, the air became liveable.  In the shadows of the young forest, the rays of the sun felt miles away, and I began to feel closer to the earth than I had in many months now.

Something about the forest sitting in the shadow of a great mountain peak felt out of place.  Taivas knew little about the true nature of the Rift and how it absorbed lands from other places.  She knew the tune of the earth's pulse felt different and calm here in comparison to the rest of the lands she had visited, aside from maybe Uwaritace.  As she travels, hooves plodding softly along a small path decorated with pine needles, she feels peaceful, a rarity here in the Rift.

Then, she sees them.

Strange obsidian stones reaching from the earth in a clearing in the forest, glimmering below the broken light sifting through the fingers of the trees.  As she comes closer, inscriptions worn by weather and time become apparent on their surfaces.  Taivas attempts to read the strange scrawlings in the darkset stones, but fails to assemble any sort of meaning from the signage.  They look like mere scribbles to her, though in the Fields they had a form of written language to document various aspects of the Spirits in their home.  The dialect on the stones is odd and out of place, just like the forest they sit within.

Standing amid the tomes, Taivas closes her starry eyes and reaches her soul out toward the surrounding area.  She feels the quiet pulse of spirits gathered below her hooves, within reach of her magic.  She does not attempt to pull one from the earth, but simply meditates on their presences, swirling about the stones and the trees.  Life hums around her in the forest, invisible to the eyes but clear to the heart.

A fragile smile paints her face and she begins to hum a familiar tune, one sung to the stars in the morning as they are slowly usurped by sunlight.  She would hear no returning song from the stars, as they might call to her father.  For, in the middle of the day under a foreign sky, she had not the knowledge or relationship to warrant their song.  She would never be a true starsinger, and the thought made her heart heavy.

However, dappled by the sun and the trees with a soft expression on her face, you would never know.
taivas.


[ ooc - open for anyone.  Just felt like writing with my girl and exploring <3 ]
