Syluss, Destiney and Evelyn.

[theshroudwolf]

It was the 28th Sun of the Fifth Astral Moon. Syluss had wandered off on his own without telling anyone. Leaving in the middle of the night he ventured deep in the far reaches of the Twelveswood, familiar to him yet foreign at the same time. The old familiar village he spent his first several years growing up in. None were up and awake, and darkness loomed over the abodes as the woodsman made his way through, silent steps as he passed around the perimeter of the small community. Off the beaten path he came to an array of headstones, more since he last visited exactly one year ago. Respectfully stepping between headstones and mounds, he came to one headstone which was different from the others. The stonework was unremarkable, the grave no different. The only difference was twenty-four hand carved wooden foxes. Some playing, some sleeping, all of them in various positions and designs. Reaching into his satchel he draws out a twenty-fifth and places it in a very specific place about Olette Collignon’s grave. His sister was always fond of foxes and wanted one for her very own. This was the closest he could do to grant her the wish she wanted.

“Hey sis.” He sits just to the side and crosses his legs under him. “This one’s name is Bismark. I named him after a restaurant which I think was named after a beast tribes deity. Or something. I named him after the restaurant. He likes cheese, so take good care of him.” He forced a sad smile on his face, eyes wet with tears. “Uh.... oh, I found someone. Again. I know I told you about Saraya, but things didn’t work out. But her name is Destiney. She likes wolves like me, and has one too, little wolf pup named Tucker. You’d love him, he’s a hungry little guy.” Exhaling heavily he wipes his eyes. “But yeah. I really love Destiney, she’s sweet. Like mom. You’d really like her.” His lip starts shaking and he purses them together tightly, wiping his eyes again. “Sorry I turn into this weeping mess every year. I’ll leave you to play with your new friend, where ever you are. I love you sis. Miss you.” He kisses his fingers and touches her name, carved into the weathered stone before standing.

His ears twitch as the sound of twigs under footsteps comes from behind him. Placing a hand on his knife, he snaps his head around to find an older dark skinned Duskwight. His eyes, adjusted to the dark narrowed at who he saw. Eye locking for only seconds, but what felt like days. The woodsman wiped his eyes once more and threw his satchel strap over his shoulder and started off in the opposite direction. The older man started to say something, but was abruptly cut off. “Shut up.” Syluss’ footsteps never stopped, and with haste, he left the area, never to return until one cycle from now.

"Alric, you got a moment?" Syluss called into the linkshell. "I'm at the Beds house." Nothing else was said and he took the piece from his ear and stashed it away. Doing some finishing touches on some arrows he had made as the teenager walked up, Syluss didn't meet his gaze until he was finished. "I heard your spear broke when you were practicing." The boy froze and visibly tensed. After a moment and a silent nod Syluss tilted his head to the side. "It's a spear. They break sometimes. I've broken many and had many broken by others. Do you have it?" Alric nodded and went to retrieve it. Syluss grabbed his own spear, master crafted and worn from use but still sturdy and in great shape. Alric returns with a spear pole and the blade, snapped at the meeting point. "Yup, seen this before." He took it from the teen and handed him his own. "Get a feel for that one. And treat it nicely." Unused to praise he blinked at Syluss as he walked off with the boys previous weapon. "Uh... S-Syluss. Um... You forgot your spear." The Duskwight shook his head. "No I didn't." Alric stared at his new weapon and started to crack an excited smile. "Good kids deserve good things. Keep up your practice and I'll make you a custom one of your own instead of a hand me down." Watching as the teen tried to contain his excitement, not so much from the spear but the praise, he wandered off in search of dinner. @eaoisnotawhore
