The Forest of Midnight

[Idris]

Idris looked at him for a moment. "What exactly is your power? Star... " Idris glanced at where Star had disappeared. "She doesn't like other people. I am the only she tolerates... But when she saw you, she didn't attack, she did the opposite. And now, you touch her and piss her off." She shook her head a little. "It really has me confused.

[whitewings]

Kei said" I am, what one would call abnormal, even more so then halflings." Kei looked at her and said" I can borrow animal properties. The power is normally unnoticed, as in about 1 in 1000 animals, but when it is noticed, it leaves a touch as long as I am using the power. A very abnormal one, one that feels it is touching your very life force."

[Idris]

She frowned slightly. "That sounds like the touch Star gave me when we were both abandoned..." Idris moved her hair away from her neck and she pulled the strap to her dress slightly to reveal a scar that looked like a fang. "She placed her nose on my shoulder here and then I felt like my entire being was being invaded. It still feels that way sometimes." She put the strap back in place. "Star told me when we got older that the touch was one to connect a animal and a human together as one. She see's what I see and I see what she see's. Even now."

[whitewings]

Kei said" The power I have, is from unnatural causes, I am sorry, but that is all I can tell you about that." Kei knew the history, but telling anyone who his father was, was unacceptable, and here in this town, would result in death.

[Idris]

She nodded, knowing that some secrets were better off left alone. She closed her eyes and spoke softly. "Star, you can go home, I will see you later." Idris opened her eyes back up.

[whitewings]

Kei aid" Even though the feeling is unnatural, in theory an animal should be proud to have noticed it. It takes an incredibly aware animal to notice it, and only once have I even been touched back when using it."

[Idris]

"I think Star understands in her own way." Idris smiled as she looked to the stars in thought. "I always knew Star was special. Not just because of her touch, but she has always struck me as quite smart. She's my sister in a way..." Idris closed her eyes, thinking.

[whitewings]

Kei said" That is why I don't stay one place to long, because my existence is both unnatural, and hated by the world." Kei looked back at the water, as when examining the scene, not a single bug was even touching him, much less trying to.

[Idris]

She opened her eyes again and looked at him. "I don't hate it. Its a neat power."

[whitewings]

Kei paused for a moment. He said" If you knew more, your opinion would be vastly different." He sat down near the river, wondering what this all meant. Sub-humans, an animal that could sense my touch, and the town itself.

[Idris]

She stood there for a minute before joining him, sitting next to him. "I don't think it would."

[whitewings]

Kei relaxed after that, he looked over the waters for a moment. Relaxing was one of the things he was ready to do at any time. Mainly cause he was lazy, despite everything recently.

[Idris]

Idris had fallen asleep laying next to the river. Now, she sat up rubbing her eyes as if to rub the sleep away.

[Anubis]

(walks) along the tree line (he was in his normal form) breaths in slightly as he woundered about he tryed to avoid any thing that what complicate his mood today

[whitewings]

Kei stood from were he sat now. He said" I may come back here another time, but for now I am heading back to town. The merchants must be worried sick about me by now." He started the long walk back to town. He had spent all that time in meditation.
