RoleChapter 8 Dreams Added Wed Jun 8 14:37:55 2005 at level 5:Darkness of the dreams... suddenly broken by faded images, distant scents, memories of the past.
The first butterflies had woken with the gentle breeze of the spring. They fluttered around in their seemingly random dance, their movements enticing, almost bewitching... she watched, minute after minute, the patterns burning into her mind... something deep inside her awakened, one of the first times. A primal calling, an urge to hunt. It was not an urge to simply kill, more like a thirst for the thrill of the last moment before the leap. The very last, fleeting moment between life and death. And right now was that moment.
She struck.
The insect flapped its beautiful wings once more between her claws and then stopped. Laughter. They laughed. Her parents. She was picked up by gentle arms, holding her close. "Come, my little wildcat, it's time for dinner" the voice says... oh, the voice. Their faces are long since blurred by the years, but their scents, their voices still echo in her head, as clear as ever. She let go of the dead insect as her mother carried her. It fell, spiraling down through the air into the grass, its patterned wings glimmering one last time...
...her first prey.
Darkness.
She climbed over the rough rocks with little effort, moving gracefully and quickly. She stopped before a steep cliff face and turned to look over the forested valley, and especially the thin trail snaking up and out of there, eventually disappearing in the shadows of the mountains. They said that the other side was full of danger, that this was home. But it was not enough to stop her from dreaming of the outside world every day, magnificent new hunting grounds... full of life. She knew that one day, she would be there. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not the day after that... but one day.
Darkness.
She licked her claws, a purr of satisfaction in her throat. The trampled snow was stained a deep crimson all around her, the sweet aroma of fresh blood hanging in the chilling air. Her blood, or the beast's? She didn't care. The cold and the pain of her wounds were distant, insignificant. The thrill was all that mattered. She tore into the still warm carcass, rending the flesh, tasting it.
...her prey.
"Nrei! Where have you been... we looked all over for... but, but... what happened to you? You're bleeding...! And where are your clothes.. Nrei?"
Their concern wasn't necessary. They didn't understand. She didn't expect them to. They were too set in their habits, they didn't hear or didn't listen to the bewitching call of their buried instincts. And that was all their loss. It was a gift, not something she could ever make them grasp.
Darkness.
As large as the valley had felt, it was nothing compared to what was outside. Days became weeks, months... years. She learned many things, she grew stronger and wiser. Sometimes, she returned near her old home, watching from afar. She saw their hunters and traders, even some of the strange people from the distant lands, and none ever saw her. And eventually, she wanted to see for herself where they came from.
New moon. It was dark, quiet, there was a hint of autumn in the air. Silently she crept up to the familiar cabin. Light in the window. She looked inside, the brightness stinging her eyes. Mother, father, two b
