Thread: The Light and the Dark in the Soul (Anaeria and razerwing)

When the human began to exclaim, calling her a unicorn, she waited for him to settle a little before correcting him. Of course I control the forest, do you not have Guardians in this era of yours? My race has nothing to do with corn, I am a Unician. And I do appologize for apparently causing the ruckus outside of the trees, it was not my intention to do so at all, it was a surprise that was entirely....unexpected. Stepping forwards slowly, so as to not startle him, she gently put her nose to his chest, giving him a gently push in appology before backing up again to peer at him once more. I do control the forest, it took quite a bit of effort to get to my ranking as well....If the rest of your kind will be wishing to get into my forest I cannot guarantee their safety. It has been a long time since humans have stepped foot within the boundaries of God's Forest, and not many who dwell here will be welcoming at all. Do you know of a Priest or a Scholar, someone of influence, that I may speak with? Keeping her voice quiet, though her equine mouth never moved, she didn't elaborate that she was speaking to him telepathically before she resumed her human form, to help him relax again since he had seemed more so when she stood on two legs instead of four. Then some of his words penetrated her mind and she blinked, growing sorrowful but resigned. So I am the last then....not surprising but I had hoped....nevermind. Shaking some dark hair out of her face, she turned and began to walk, then stopped abruptly and shuddered as a searing heat licked up the side of her mental walls. The humans were trying to burn the forest, or some were at least, throwing bottles of liquid and rags that held fire within them that clung and burned the roots of the trees it touched. The wolf, feeling her sudden fear and anger, reacted immediately, waking up and leaving in a silent brush of grass, Narue leaving as well quickly. They're trying to burn the trees....oh no, that can't happen! Panic rising as she felt the flames licking up old leaves and moss, burning brilliantly and hurting her and the Ancients themselves, the woman let out a quiet moan and shifted again, her four hooves able to move faster than two bare human feet. She nearly left without the human, then shook her head and danced back, stopping in front of him with eyes quickly turning the ruby red of her fury and fear. Get. On. If your pack of other humans will shoot at me if I attempt to intervene I will retaliate, I will need a mediator and you, human man, are it until you can find me a better person or scholar. Her 'tone' of 'voice' held nothing in the way of any regard for whether he could ride a horse or not, if all else failed and he began to fall she'd simply use a bit of magic to glue him to her back temporarily. She'd be going much faster too, and she itched to get a move on, the fire was going higher and those humans who'd set the firest were cheering and calling for the forest to do it's worst. They hadn't even seen a fraction of the 'worst' that her Forest could do. Fury rose inside of her as a memory flared, of thick smoke a thousand years ago when the human army back then had attempted to burn the God's Forest down. Her father, the leader of the Herd, had put a stop to that with his magics, but they had worn away over the years and she had yet to learn the No-Flame rule to keep her precious home safe. There hadn't been a need to learn it either, any light other than the faint gayish light in the Dark Space was extinguished immediately, fire never burned there.
