A Cobalt Star, Fallen (Taithrosa)

[Charon]

His new form and new energy seemed to give Taith new life. Finally he comfortable in his own skin and for that he was appreciative to Leth. His eyes lit up in their natural brilliance as his reflection started brightly back at him and the realization that his entire body has transformed once more left the Ethaefal with the sensation that this life could not possibly be completely befuddled with stresses and strains the like of which he experienced lately.

Straightening his stance and glancing up and down the coastline, Taithrosa heard the distance rumbling of the massive falls crashing into the Suvan Sea with much more clarity than he had during the lighter chimes he was awake. The night was cooler and calmer and it seemed as if the sound traveled less inhibited at his moment than before. Either that or it could quite possibly be chalked up to the fact that without a burning sensation of hunger tearing a gaping hole within his body he could finally concentrate on the finer details of his ambient surroundings. Regardless of why his navigation turned him north, it was toward the falls he walked.

The Suvan Sea rolled in with steadily and slinkily as he traveled along the beach. The flora off to his right side seemed to repeat itself over and over with the same form of brush and trees and the slope of the hill or mountain the lush plants covered seemed to steepen and level off at varying intervals. More or less winding his way up the curving area of sand that separated the water from the brush brought him closer to the sound of the falls. Though taking this much time and still not seeing any evidence of getting too near the origin of the sound told the smooth-skinned creature that these falls were vast indeed.

After several more bells of the same scenery, Taithrosa finally felt a gentle mist settling upon his skin and lingering in the air around him. As he moved beyond another bend he saw glimmering lights and some docks in the not so far-off distance. That is when he caught his first glimpse of the death of the Bluevein River. From a place too far toward the sky for him to see, the water soared through the misty air and into the sea causing a turbulent vortex at its base. The crashing sound boomed and echoed through the air much more loudly than before and it was a fantastic image to behold. This was the base, or their tier, of the city of Riverfall he was witnessing a distance ahead. He could reach it shortly, at least in a short manner of time relative to his recent travels, and the fact that civilization was found sent many emotions and sensations through the Ethaefals's soul and mind.

His mind clear and his body rested the Ethaefal looked to the north were he could hear and feel the presences of some type of water fall. His large muscles strengthened and flexing as he moved. He felt a strange energy coming from the light of Leth above him. It seemed to provide his with satisfaction the same kind that came from eating and drinking. It was as if his tongue was being forever cooled by the sweetest wine. His liquid silver eyes kept there focus in the direction of the sound of the falls. He felt warmth spread through his soul as he saw the falls in the distances and the beauty of the city beyond. It was a strange place, unlike any city he had ever seen, well expect in the dream he had before he feel back to Mizahar. He wondered if he was destined to come to this place. It wasn’t much but for the lost soul it was what he needed to cling to. Up until this point he had been focused on either hunger or pain or any number of other physical problems but now here he was. The intial pains were gone and he was face with the reality that he was not longer living with his father, with Leth, the moon god, his master. He stopped his eyes curious and showing a large amount of pain. He had survived this fare and he wasn’t about to give in to it now. This pain though was much worse then any he had felt to this point. It was the pain of a torn soul. He thought felt hope and relief at the sign of civilization. He drew in a deep breath, a breeze blowing across his glowing naked body. He turned towards the city and lifting one foot and then place it down in front of the other be began to walk towards the city. Slowly the steps became fast until his body was running. It was a sight to behold. The movements were graceful, and the muscles were strong but the beauty of Taithrosa was that of an angel, for he had been one and know was fallen to the world again.

The pains of his transformation, of falling and starvation and fatigue, were now fading as the pain of living seceded from his mind and body. The thunderous water pouring into the Suvan Sea drove these negative feelings from within him like an ultrasonic battering ram driving through a barrier. The feeling of motivation added to the Ethaefal’s determination to go forward toward this luring sound that was the Bluevein’s end.

Pushing and pumping his muscular legs in time with the ticking determination his mind was set upon, Taithrosa started moving toward the falls. Gaining momentum with each stride, the Ethaefal ran underneath Leth’s grace until another sense started to fill his mind like the aroma of a freshly baked pastry fills the nose with delight. This sense was one of belonging, one of a sort of home that Taith could not quite place a finger on. It was the sense of living, laughing, laboring and loving all in one. It was, in a sense, the beacon that was Riverfall on this adventurous evening, guiding him like a unsure ship through potentially treacherous waters.

Navigating a path toward Riverfall became easier as his graceful strides continued to propel Taithrosa through the evening. The docks were the first images to appear within his sight as they protruded conspicuously out into the water. A couple ships were identified by the docks, most likely still with crewmembers resting on board or finding comforting pleasures within the city itself. A few small homes could be spotted as the Ethaefal entered the outskirts of civilization and the beach became longer. As he neared more establishments, the Kulk would be spotted along with the other industrial warehouses that surrounded the docks for convenient logistics during loading and unloading.

Was this home? Were these feelings something Taith could learn to enjoy and explore? The feelings and senses that filled his body were not negative and though his heavenly-molded body did not match that of the local populace, the Ethaefal somehow did not seem quite out of place.

Taithrosa contiuned to run enjoying the rush of adrenaline through his body. The waterfall and city that emerged before him seemed to drive him on. He had found a place. Civilization and other people. It was odd, but even after centuries of peace in Leth's realm, but he still needed others who could think and logic. Others who were similiar to him. His form seemed to flow along the sand as he ran. It didn't even occur to the glowing sun of Leth that he was naked as he ran towards the waiting city. His liquid silver eyes just took in the lights and buildings of the city. As he ran though he wasn't so overcome that he didn't think about the city he was aproaching. He tried to think of were this city could be. He was drawing a blank though on were it could be. He was sure he would had heard of some time in his many lives of a city built next to a waterfall. He couldn't thought. Suddenly as he ran and began to come closer a relization came upon him. He began to slow from a run to a fast walk as the city and its homes appeared around him. The world had changed much since he had been granted rest in Leth's realm. One word ran across his mind Valterrian. At that moment he stopped his movements as memories of the Valterrian came upon him. Those memories were clear. He froze for a moment his eyes wide with fear and shock. The event has rocked his world. He still remembered the pain as the home of the Child of Leth was riped apart, as so many of their brothers and sisters were lost to them. Very few to ever return. Taith also remembered the greatest pain of all. The pain inflicted upon their father Leth. He had growed with the pain of his wound. And they had wheeped. The cries had been intense and overwhelming. The pain faded though in the light of Leth now. Healed and master of the Night sky again. He also felt the peace and comfort of the city around him. He sighed and his eyes returned to earth, the memory pushed back to were it couldn't overwhelm him. He now walked into the city glade to feel at home and clinging to that feeling. It allowed him to push the memories of his celestial home out of his mind and allowed him to focus on the here and now. To focus around him. First he needed to figure out were he was and what exactly was going on. So he walked into the city his skin aglow and his eyes afire with the chance of actually finding a place to settle.
