~Oblivion~ {A Fantasy RP}

[HoodedHuntress]

Neo flew home, head in the clouds, heart in his throat. This was the single greatest day in the history of ever. It was just the sun, the sky, and Xyla. He said her name aloud again, and wondered for a moment how one might spell it. It might be a good thing to know. Maybe to start a letter with, or scribble on a brown paper package. It sounded much like it started with a Z, or maybe Xzy? Maybe he could ask the scribe later.

The trees flowed beneath like the meadows of Ireland. A rather bumpy and noisy meadow. With lots of holes in it that lead down to the actual ground, but a meadow nonetheless. The clamor of birds and insects far below lent an ambient hum, and the wind- oh the wind. It was choppy and tossed him in a way that made it hard to fly straight, and very easy do do stupid things. Which, of course, was exactly what he did.

When he got home he was positively giddy. He landed on the hometree and greeted a passerby with a much-to-enthusiastic 'hello!' before darting up the branch to his room.

The door consisted of wooden boards, clinging together by rope and faith. His fingers brushed the handle, only to find it already open. Clothes, carved things, and half-eaten food stuffs lay strewn about the room. The only visible floor was a patch leading from the door to the bed, which wasn't much more than a mattress on the floor. A figure stood at the window, hands folded neatly behind his wings, facing the window. "You're home." was all he said.
Uh-oh, Neo thought, "Hey, dad." He said, kicking a few shirts into the corner.
His father was positively not giddy.

(Will post more tomorrow. Sorry, got to bed.)

(Let's hope that having his mind set on Xyla will help him with his cleanliness lol)

(If you have no one to RP with, @CP Chicken and @tigercountry2023 and anyone else, you can message me and I'll get that fixed.)

(Yeah. Especially in the rainforest. Where there are ants and such things.)
"Akala tells me you did not attend border patrol." His father said.
Neo felt the feathers on his back prickle. Akala, that little brat. He took a deep breath. "What did she tell you?"
For a moment the chief did not answer. He re-folded his wings under his cape. Ignoring the question, he finally spoke, voice low. "It appears you are becoming lax in your training. As if you think you don't need it."
"Yeah, but I had a good reason for-"
His father spun around, "I don't want to hear it. The arrangements have already been made. I'm sending you off. If they can't train you, no one can."
Neo's heart dropped, and his face screwed up as if it physically hurt. "Sending me off? Like, away from home? But I wasn't-"
"This is non-negotiable. They will be here in the morning to pick you up."
"But-"
He tromped toward the door, not caring what he stepped on. "But nothing. Gather your things and be ready by tonight."


(....Writerly stuff. Maybe not important, but my attention won't span today.)

(Great post! Who is "they"?)

(Great post! Who is "they"?)

(No idea. Heh. I was wondering if maybe one of the other characters would fit that role, but I don't know if any would be a good fit.)

Erin said in a quiet voice "I'm so sorry." She asked after a few minutes of silence "Was he your age", indirectly curious to see if they dated.

Yael looked over at the girl before replying. "He was ten years my senior, but when you love someone it doesn't really matter. He was not an easy man to love but it didn't stop me. If you find someone like that never let them go, no matter what. Some Dust like I used too see love as a weakness but I have learned better. It makes you stronger and weaker but fuller because of it and it is worth anything in the world." She told her as she remembered how he had held her for the last time even as he laid dying. Even then he had been trying to protect her. She was unlikely to ever find a man like him again in this life, and she wasn't sure she wanted to.

"Oh of course I wouldn't expect any payment for this. So you been a guard long?" She asked as she leaned against the wall she kept one eye out for trouble as she talked to him. She also took in the rather nice view from her new post, although she wasn't sure he got her meaning him and not the city. But that was ok, she would still take it all in anyways.

( Hey @Frost bite88 did you forget this? )

(WhAt if he overthrows his father with Xyla and becomes the new king?)

(Well, he will eventually become king, unless his father just kicks him out and appoints another on his death bed or something. And with the whole war thing going on, he might get offed pretty quick. I don't think Neo actually wants that kind of responsibility unless he is forced to take it.)

(gotcha. Want Xyla to stay at home...or take a walk...or something else? Or will you make another post?)
