Thread: The Journey (EvaRose & Rage)

She could feel them looking at her, knew that there disapproving glances were directed at her, but it still didn't bother her. Let them move away while she walked down the street, let them women look at her in scorn because she showed off more skin than they were taught to. She hated their little white city, with walls that shielded every person inside for the horrors and truths of the outside world. They were too sheltered for their own good really. Knowing nothing but comfort was a bad thing for people, it made them weak and unprepared for the worse. In all truth, she didn't care what they thought. It was the children that she cared about. She liked the way that they stared at the ebony hilt of her sword, which happened to have a emerald embedded in the end of it. The sheath was fashioned the same way, black with green swirls moving about it. Her clothes were what set her apart from others, especially the women. Her skirt covered half of her thighs, looking a bit torn on the edge of it. The upper half of it covered her chest at least, though her belly and lower back was bare to the world. She wore a pair of black boots, which looked exceptional with the rest of her clothes. Jyade was her name, and it matched her green eyes. They stuck out from under her black hair, which ran down to the back of her waist, and the light brown skin. The thing that really made her stick out though was the little cat sized gryphon in her arms. It was still a baby, and would grow a lot during the next few months, until it was so big that a grown man could ride it. It was still big enough to eat a whole fish though, much to her displeasure. She didn't have enough money to buy a fish each day, which meant that she had to catch one instead. She looked up at the tall castle as she neared it, hearing the soft chirps of the gryphon as it looked at the pieces of meat hanging inside a butcher's store. It was still hungry, since it didn't have its daily fish. Children were the only people who came near her, only those who didn't have a parent nearby coming close enough to look into Hunin's black eyes. Gryphons were smart and easily tamed creatures, the little one in her arms being no exception. It knew only to snap at those who attacked her, or that she told him to attack. The little children reached up every now and again, making her stop and bend down so they could touch it with their little fingers. She stood at an average height for a woman, no taller than 5' 5. She had the shoo some children away as she stepped up to the castle, watching them laugh and run away happily. They were the only innocent things in the world, even some of the creatures were corrupted. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she stepped up to a guard, moving one hand from under the gryphon to take a folded piece of paper from her bosom, holding her hand out then for the man. I have an invitation to see the king, she said loudly, knowing how knights seemed to despise her. The man looked at the piece of paper and gave a light sigh that sounded more like a hiss to her. He opened the gates though and she stepped inside, much to everyone else's displeasure. She felt like taking her knives out and throwing them at the knights who stood before the castle doors, not wanting to see them at all. They didn't want to see her either, knowing very well what she was and what she did. She pushed open the large doors of the castle, looking in at the intricate design of the building. Be nice and quiet Hunin, nobody wants to hear a chirping gryphon, she said softly, lifting the creature up as she spoke to it. She made her way down main hall, looking up to see the knight who was leaning against one of the columns. Well, he was dressed like a knight anyway. Jyade moved to the other side of the room, not wanting to be anywhere near the armored man. I'm using my tablet right now, so there might be some spelling errors I didn't catch.
