But her daemon kept lengthening the distance between them in order to keep her running. For neither could bear prolonged separation by great distances. Aicatul, seeming to hear her latest plea, settled on a nearby tree in the woods. He looked down on his human and yearned greatly to return to her. But he was doing this for her own good. Eknara finally stopped running when the need to disappeared. She fell with her back to the trunk of a tree as she tried to catch her breath. Aicatul, having lost his will to stay apart any longer, flew to her arms and Eknara accepted him gratefully. A few tears escaped her eyes as she held him closely. Aicatul tried to soothe her. “Needed to stop sulking … to get up and actually get your blood pumping.” “I know,” Eknara interjected. Aicatul continued. “We need to accept we’re stuck on Thracs and just move on.” “I know!” Eknara cried. “I know.” She had fallen into a depression after her latest attempt to return to Aerillia had failed. It was her final chance. She had no more avenues to try. Malek and, especially, Ethan would check up on her and make sure she was at least eating, but otherwise she did not leave her room for days and merely sulked. She hadn’t even changed her clothes and was still currently in her full armour. But Aicatul, although of course suffering from the same depression as Eknara, found some strength within himself to force Eknara out of bed. He flew for short stretches and only stopped to let Eknara catch up. As soon as she had caught up to him, he broke into flight again. And he kept on doing this over and over again to keep her moving. It was only now, about a little longer than half an hour later, that he let himself return to her, having deemed that he had pushed for long enough. He nuzzled himself against his human. A few minutes later, after they had recovered from the harsh ordeal, Eknara looked up. “Where are we?” She did not recognize her surroundings. “Aicatul, where did you take us to?” Aicatul, not knowing the answer himself, stayed quiet. Eknara Orkaro bit her lip and continued moving. She was relieved that she at least had the luxury of being able to actually walk at a leisurely pace this time. If it was night, she could have used the constellations that Ethan engraved in her memories to get back. But it was in the middle of the day, and she had nothing but a cloudy sky above her. She continued walking until she heard some water running. Judging that it would help her get back to her new Khaotics home, she followed it. Soon, she had left the deep forested area that Aicatul had blindly guided them to and had reached a little opening that was the home to a small river and … a boy a few years her junior quickly walking out to her as he shouted something. Eknara eyed the state of his clothes and body as her eyes widened in fear. His clothes were tattered and he was bleeding. She stopped in her tracks, frightened, and started to slowly walk backwards as he neared her. She, for some reason, never took her eyes off him even though she was obviously scared by the sight of him. Aicatul shrieked. Edited by Anastasia, Jun 1 2011, 01:26 AM.
