Hey! Guess what! I've started a new fic and this one, in my opinion, is
awesome! It's being written by two people, your truly and my friend De. She
writes about a girl named Avalon(sorry if it's spelled wrong) and I write
about a girl named Icewind. We will write every other chapter until
something special happens! :) I hope you like this one!
**********************************************
The frosted trees swayed in the silent breeze. The wind was light, but it could still chill you to the bone in a matter of minutes. A fifteen year- old girl, Icewind, had placed herself and her bond bird in a tree with multi-leveled branches.
Icewind shivered because of the frostbiting cold. It was warm in the vale, which she could see the protective barrier of, but her father was holding a ceremony near the heart stone and didn't exactly feel like attending. 'He will never even notice my absence!' She thought to herself as the snowy white owl, her bond bird, who was diagonally above her hooted while some small brown birds fought over a fat pinecone.
Her bond bird, Jana, ruffled her feathers as the first of the birds started to pull at one of the others wings. The third brown bird grabbed the pinecone while the other two were preoccupied and flew of with it into another tree.
:Why you miss Starbrights ceremony?: Jana asked blinking her round, deep blue eyes at her.
:Because he doesn't even want me there! He has completely ignored my presence since I was little after I didn't show and signs of mage- potential!: Icewinds eyes stung and blurred for a moment as she thought of that day her father Looked to find the potential he was hoping for when she was about seven. :The only people who care about me are you and Moondance!:
Jana moved closer to Icewind so that she could nuzzle the fallen tear on her pale face. Icewind smiled as Jana sent a loving caress through their bond.
:I love you for him then!: Jana hooted excitedly while ruffling her feathers for about the tenth time since they had come out here.
:Thank you Jana, but I highly doubt that anyone can or will ever fill the place where his love and my mothers love was supposed to go.: Icewind scratched the back of Janas head out of habit as she thought of her life here in the vale. Her mother had died when she was little, and she had been left with only her father as a guardian until her brother, Moondance, had grown and was old enough to be qualified as one too. :Maybe it's time to take my life into my own hands. Maybe, it's time for me to do what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. Something wild and exciting. Something that's not supposed to keep me trapped here in the vale, but to take me somewhere else to fulfill my destiny. Jana, I think it might be time to leave the vale.:
Jana cocked her head to the side, as much as a snowy owl could. :Why you want to leave the beautiful vale? You leave without Moondance? Without Starbright? Without me?: her last mind words were filled with deep sorrow.
:No Jana, you would be with me, but Moondance and Starbright must stay here in the vale. They are needed here, unlike me. They have jobs which request that they stay here and protect those who can't themselves.: Icewind could tell that her bond bird was confused by studying their tight bond.
:Who will get us out of vale? And where we go after?: Jana asked. There was confusion in her mind voice.
:I was hoping that Moondance might help since he would probably understand why I would want to leave. And I was thinking of somewhere new and exciting. Like that place Rainfall was talking about. I think it was called something like..... Valdemar.:
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"No!" The young man in front of Icewind replied. His broad shoulders were tense but set into place as to reinforce what he was saying. He had been left behind after Starbrights ceremony to clean up any mess that had been created.
"Moondance," Icewind complained in the most innocent voice she could manage. "You said that you would help me with everything after mom died! Don't you remember?"
"I do remember, and I did say that, but I didn't agree that helping you would include runaways or anything of that sort!" Moondance, her seventeen year-old brother, replied.
"Plus, I can't open a gate without knowing what the place looks like that it opens to! It might end up in some place that could get you killed!" His voice was stern and Icewind could tell that he was just being overprotective, even if he did have a point about gating her to the destination.
"What if I found and brought to you a recent drawing or something? Would that work?" She prayed in her head that she had found a weakness that the problem had.
"That might be a little more helpful and it just might work, but we'll have to see if you can come up with one. After that we will have to see if I will help you or not. Don't get your hopes up!" Moondance looked sternly at her as he kicked a stone off the worn path.
"I promise with all my heart and soul that my hopes are as low as you see them fit." she tried to use bigger words and a better sentence structure to try to convince him that she was older and more mature than he thought she was. She jogged off in the direction of their ekele.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Icewinds black hair fell into her face as she bent over the book she was currently brushing through. You could see the resemblance to her mother now that she was older. Her mother had been a Shin'a'in from the Dorisha Planes, and Icewind inherited her strong build, beautiful features and determined attitude. The only thing that set her apart from her dead mother, was that she was strongly bonded to a medium sized snowy owl. This characteristic came from her Tayledras father.
Her ruthless search had sent her all over the vale looking for any books that had to do with any other place then the vale. The scenic picture she was hoping for had not yet turned up although she had searched through so many books, that she hardly even knew what she was looking for at the end of each and every day. Books were piled wherever there was space for them except on her bed and a wide path that was from her bed to other pieces of furniture and the stairs that lead downstairs. Her room was the top compartment in the ekele, so on one entered her room accept for her.
:Icewind,: Jana mind spoke from her perch beside Icewinds bed. :We go outside now?:
:Sure, I want to talk to Rainfall anyway. I'm sure he has some idea about Valdemar since he is the one who talks about it all the time!: Icewind replied.
Once outside, she traveled the worn dirt path past the hot springs that was currently unoccupied and up to another giant tree that held the ekele belonging to him. She hoped Rainfall was there since she needed this overflowing fountain of information that he had stored in his brain somewhere.
As she climbed the ladder, she though of how long she had known her best friend Rainfall. That was when she realized that if she left the vale like she planned, she would be leaving the only real friend she had known during her difficult childhood. She soon realized how much she was really going to miss him. The feeling she experienced was new and unknown to her until then. She climbed the rest of ladder and into the first room with a heavy heart.
"Rainfall, are you home?" Icewind called up towards the room she knew as his. He had moved away from his parents last year and enjoyed the freedom of not having to get up at unholy hours in the morning when they left to do jobs and requests.
"One minute," Rainfall called groggily from up the stairs. It sounded as if he had been up longer than she had and the call was his first realization of how fast morning had come by waking him up.
"Have you been asleep all day so far?" She called as she heard the familiar sound of someone falling out of his bed. His long bedtime book reads kept him up late most nights when he got lost in their pages, even if they were about the strangest things she had ever heard. She heard him fall out of his bed more than twice a week on average.
"Yes, and you should be happy about it! Come on up now and see." He called as she heard him shuffle around above her.
When she arrived in his sleeping quarters, he was only wearing his breeches and his shoulder muscles were tense from what she saw. He had his back turned to her and was looking through a pile of overused books on the table at the end of his bed. He mumbled something about not finding something and moved on to another pile.
"Why would I be happy about you staying up all night?" She asked sarcastically. She thought for a minute and feigned a surprised tone as she replied, "Did you finally trade feathers with someone?" She laughed as he added a quick "no" when he turned around to find another pile.
"I was looking through my many books," he waved at all the piles and shelves of books around them. He found another pile of about fifteen books and started sifting again this time fishing out a book entitled, "The countries around us." He handed it to her jokingly as if she didn't deserve it. "It has information and pictures of almost every country around here, even the legendary Valdemar." Icewind gave him a startled look. She was expecting some help, but not this much! "I was hoping that if you knew I was helping you to get there, you might let me join you on this adventure." He flashed her one of his all too familiar smiles.
"You are the greatest friend anyone could ever have Rainfall!" She hugged him tightly, which he was not exactly expecting. She could feel his muscles loosen up underneath her.
"So you'll let me join you on your move?" He asked hopefully while returning her hug.
"Yes, you are welcome to join me, after all, I won't know anyone there and a normal face will probably make me more comfortable!" She paused for a moment which was soon followed by having a confused expression embrace her face. "How did you find out about my plans to adventure to Valdemar?" She backed up a few paces so that she could look him in the eye since he was quite a bit taller than her since his latest growth spurt.
"Your brother figured the since you know me so well, and that I probably had some information on Valdemar, that I should know. He really seems like he thought it over really well and wants you to go. You aren't mad, are you?" He looked a bit guilty for not informing her earlier.
At that moment, Pedri, Rainfalls bond bird, flew in with a small mouse in his beak. He was soon followed by a screeching Jana. She chased him around the room until she cam close enough to ram him so that he dropped his prized possession. Jana quickly snatched it from the floor and perched herself on the window sill.
:Bad bird stole Janas lunch!: Jana mid spoke while ripping the mouse apart hastily. Icewind heard a chuckle from Rainfall that told her that Pedri had informed him of his little joke that he had played on Jana. Pedri and Jana were constantly at each others thought because of the jokes they played upon each other. They never seemed to get that what each was doing to the other was just for fun and not for torment.
"Birds are the strangest creatures, other than us, that I know!" He said while opening a small wooden box that was carved to look like a small owl, which Pedri was. He pulled out half a chipmunk and passed it to him for his lunch.
"Well, I had better leave and get this book to Moondance if we are going to leave when I plan to. You and I better get packing my friend." She pondered for something to say that would get him moving faster. "I guess that you will have fun with those books of yours!" She smiled as he realized what she meant.
Icewind laughed and signaled for Jana to take off as she swallowed the last of her meal. "I'll talk to you later about when we can leave and what we really need to bring." She waved and disappeared down the ladder before he could reply.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Icewind found Moondance outside of the vale practicing his weaker magic with another adept. This was one of the new hobbies that younger Tayledras participated in that adults disapproved of.
"Moondance, Nightsong!" She yelled in her most adult like voice. Both boys quickly stopped and turned their sweaty bodies so that they were facing her. Both looked guilty until they realized that it was not an adult, but only Moondances younger sister. "Sorry, but there was no other way to stop you unless I had mage powers myself." She smiled and held up the book that she was carrying for Moondance to see what it was.
"I see you have been to see Rainfall. His mountains of books have finally come into great use for you. I told him of your wishes to leave and he was happy to look. I believe he said something about hopefully coming with you." Moondance said while wiping his forehead with a piece of cloth that he had brought out for that exact purpose.
"You want to leave the vale Icewind?" Nightsong asked. He was Moondances childhood friend like Rainfall was to Icewind. They had known each other for so long, that they didn't even remember when exactly they had met. He loved the vale more than anything in his life and had sworn to everyone in the vale that he would never leave for more than even a couple hours, unless duty called for it.
"Yes, I'm going to go to Valdemar with Rainfall. We don't feel as welcome here as you do." Icewind explained to him. She figured that he would never get what she was trying to explain though.
Moondance walked up to her and took the book. He flipped to the index and then flipped to another page. He quickly scanned the information on the first page and when he turned to the second he exclaimed, "This will work perfectly. Icewind, I have been thinking about what you said about your life being miserable since mother died. When I really thought, I noticed that yes your life has been terrible, and that I feel that you need to start making your own choices in life and making your own mistakes. I hope you know that if you go through with this, you probably won't ever be able to come back unless you find a mage there that has been here. I have heard of no such person and I thought you might want to know that. I will help you leave the vale, just like I promised when mother died." He turned to his friend "Nightsong, I need to go, I need to rest up." Moondance then looked back at Icewind with an expression of worry and sorrow, "Icewind, I will tell you this, if you want to leave, tonight is the best night to do that. Father has nothing planned so he will go to bed earlier than normal. this will give us an advantage to gating without him noticing. Go tell Rainfall and get ready." he walked off and headed for their ekele.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The night had almost arrived and Starbright was in his room of their ekele. Icewind had told him that she was staying at Rainfalls for the night. She had written him a six page note explaining where she had gone and why she left. She hoped that he would understand what she meant and realized how heartless he has been if he even cared the slightest bit about her.
Moondance was getting ready for the gating. Rainfall and she were ready with all they thought was good to bring. Nightsong had come to see them off.
"Alright you two, I'm ready to do this." Moondance walked up to Rainfall and Icewind. Rainfall handed him a note that was for his parents that explained what was going on. Moondance then looked at her. "Icewind, I promised our mother that I would protect you from everything I could. The other night when I was thinking, I realized that I had broken that promise and now I owe you a lot. This is breaking that promise again, but this is what you want, and mother would have been proud to see you take your own life into your own hands. I want you to know that if you ever need me, I'll be in your heart and you just need to look their to find me. Please take care of yourself." He hugged her tightly and as they were ending the embrace, he slipped a letter with her name on it into her hand.
"I will Moondance. Plus, Rainfall is coming and he won't let anyone lay a hand on me without my consent. I love you and I will also always be in your heart. Don't forget me." She smiled and he nodded.
Moondance moved towards the stone arch used for gating and began the spell. When he was finished, they gave each other hugs and quick words of good- bye, even Nightsong. Icewind and Rainfall glanced back at their original home and looked at each other. They held hands for protection from fear and ran through the gate leaving the home they had known for so long.
