Vaspira listened as the woman explained in a long lecture, a lecture worthy of a story teller, of why she did not know things about traveling or outside worlds, and how her life was not protected, but was at the same time. Vaspira nodded her head through it all, keeping a small smile on her face, listening and keeping silent until the end. When the storyteller said if she needed to learn things that she was naïve about, that she would have an attentive ear.
Vaspira chuckled, ”I am not an expert, but there are books to be read, you need to know how to start a fire, to cook over a fire, how to assemble a tent for protection, how to protect yourself from not only monsters, but people who would steal your things, rape you, or even kill you. The world out there is dangerous, though it be beautiful and wonderous, dangers lie all around you, in people you think you can trust, people you would call your best friend would put a dagger between your shoulder blades if given the chance, if they had enough reason in their addled mind to do so.” Vaspira kept the warm smile on her face, though her words were harsh, it was the reality of things.
”I travel in my Kelvic form. The fur keeps me warm, I hunt and eat raw meat for sustenance. I climb up into trees to sleep for protection. I trust no one, I talk to no one, I carry only the necessaties needed for travel and nothing more. So for me to teach you how to do things human do on travel…. Well I do not think I am the best teacher for that. I can only tell you to be careful, to not look at everything in a positive way, because life is not at all like that out there. Sure you could stay here, be happy, help, tell a story, do work, and everything will be happy. You can accomplish many things in Avanthal, but how much more can you accomplish out there? How many people can you touch with your stories? How many lives could you save with your words?”
Vaspira gulped down the rest of her water, smiling at the woman, ”Everyone has a calling I think. Maybe I missed my calling, but I think you have yet to hear yours. Listen to your heart, listen to what that little voice living there says. I believe you were placed here for so much more then… this.” Vaspira said, gesturing the Tavern with her hands. She got up from her seat, patting the woman’s hands, ”I thank you for the company, it was pleasant and I hope to see you again soon. I must be going, I need my rest. I hope that this Morwen guides you in whatever you choose to do with your life.” Vaspira gave her one last smile, saying her goodbyes to the woman, and left the tavern, back into the frozen city, to find a tree limb and sleep the night away. She was tired from shifting, so tired. She did not even think she could make the walk, but she would force her tired body to do so, then she would pass out and leave the frozen world and travel to her dreams, where the warm sun would bath her fur.
OOCThis was a great thread, carried on for longer than I thought it would!
