Thread: The Heart of the World -[Haru::Ironic]-

Quietly her lamentation continued, emptying out the stresses of the Trial, the pathetic swine that managed to hurt her enough to not be able to walk, but most of all how she treated Amarok. Here he was at her beckon call, not even trying to pick a fight but it was her who had done just that. Im sorry She muttered through her tears, sniffling as the storm began to clear. His cradling did not stop once theyve arrived to the lean-to, his hands gentle and caring as they caressed her backside. Deeply she purred, the sounds reverberating within their eardrums. Zara was beginning to realize that right now Amarok was all that she had in this very moment. Truthfully, he was all that she had ever had. Zara never had it easy, and if you knew her past you wouldnt blame her for the way shes acted throughout her life. At the young age of 10 her parents fell victimized to Hepatitis C, unfortunately to drug related problems. Too poor for medical attention and with ongoing drug abuse their lives had been taken away from them, leaving Zara to fend for herself in a dangerous and big world. Living off the streets the feline was forced to scrummage through garbage for food that would keep her from starvation, occasionally stealing food products from vendors. This is where her stealth came into play, avoiding the ones who could take her away. With no one to teach her she would teach herself, becoming independent and always knowing that her way of doing things was the only way. Years passed and 18 she was, exhausted of her way of living and wanting to change it. Daily she passed by the Bednia Academy, watching the pupils train, their grunting robust and filled with hope for the future. It was a good cause and would allow her to get her mind off from her past. Walking into the gates she peered over the students, thinking to herself that she wouldnt be qualified for something so heavy-duty and filled with commitment. The interview was more simple than what she had anticipated, earning her a spot in the Academy right then and there. There she trained, picked up a job on campus, and lived at the dorm. Forever she will be grateful for the Academy for changing her way of living. It caught Zara off guard once the wolf placed his gentle thumb beneath her eye to wipe away the remnants of tears knotted in her fur. Her eyes glued onto him in yearning, reading Please, dont go just yet. This incident had changed the way she saw Amarok and herself, and if it could be reversed she wouldnt have wanted that to change. Their relationship began to unsheathe, the spark igniting but not yet a flame. His reassuring words made her skin crawl with a weird yet new sensation. O-Okay, be careful. Concern painted over her words, her eyes worried for him after what happened to her. As soon as the artic wolf took his leave Zara was left alone with her thoughts. Her heart beat like war drums, pounding away to the oncoming break of war. It wasnt war they were thrashing to, but something on the complicated side. A sensation that was one she had not yet felt. The word was on the tip of her tongue, but never managed to pronounce. Shaking her head to get out of her trance she began to work on her wound. Outstretching her hands above her ankle a weird slur of words came fourth, Nevuj , hands glowing an earthy green and her eyes now replaced with the color of glowing jade. The heat of the magic was warm, soothing and tingled the area that was being treated. Her wounds taking their time as the laceration gradually began to patch over with a scab. Efil , a heavenly beige swapped the green, her eyes following. This glow was more commanding, lively and reduced time. New skin patched over the scabs, fur slowly growing back and the bone connecting back to how it use to be. Since the gash wasnt as damaging as she thought the healing time took as long as Amarok did, finishing up the final touches once he arrived. Zaras body was extremely weak after using all of her magic power just on herself. Welcome back. Cheerfully she greeted Amarok, smiling as she saw his handsome appearance. Venison filled the air with its meaty aroma, Zara licking her succulent lips at just the thought of devouring it. I appreciate you. She nodded as she accepted the plate of food after it was finished cooking. I promise I wont let you down again. I just got carried away with myself and Ive learned by lesson. It was also embarrassing for you to see my sensitive side. She couldnt help but blush, taking an enthusiastic bite of the meat. Mmm lovely job! She preached him, taking another mouthful of her meal. Time had passed during their little adventure, the sun would soon set in a few hours. Would you rather camp out here tonight or quickly head to the base of the mountains and station there before it gets too late?
