Caesi had left her Pavilion early that morning to scout out other pavilions and what they had to offer. It was a rare thing for her to have time to do something besides work, and if she were to think about it in a way this was still working. However, she decided to find a place she had yet to go, somewhere different, to visit a place she would not typically venture to. In a way, she thought of it as an adventure, something to break free of the monotonous day in and day out routine she had found herself to be in. Stroking her Striders neck in a loving fashion, she tightened her knees ever so slightly and adjusted her small body in the Yvas, scanning the area with her eyes.
She had found the Diamond Clan, which was notable by the white tents and the people dressed in white as well. Looking among the tents she found one that looked particularly interesting. It stood out among the rest. It was white like the others, however there was animal bones decorating it. Frowning slightly, Caesi could not help but wonder what this tent was about.
Shifting in her Yvas she urged Pyxis forward towards the strange tent. Once they were close, she dismounted and guided her Strider to the opening. Stroking the soft nose of the Strider she gave her a small kiss, signing “Stay” to the Strider who seemed to understand her gesture. Turning her back to her friend, she observed the tent closer. It was indeed animal bones that graced the tent, decorating it in the fashion of the Drykas people. Goose-flesh appeared on her skin as a small gust of wind seemed to urge her forward. It felt as if Zulrav was guiding her to go inside of the strange tent. Biting her bottom lip she looked around her. Everyone in the Diamond Clan seemed to be busy doing their duties. Some were training with swords, some with bows, others appeared to be entering the Web. Heaving a soft breath, she lifted the flap and headed inside.
The tent was unusually dark and Caesi had to blink several times to get her eyes to adjust to the dramatic light difference. The curious teal-green eyes watered slightly and she swiped at her eyes with the back of her hand. Once her eyes had became more adjusted the young Drykas girl peered around the tent. More animal parts seemed to be scattered in the tent, in what appeared to be a disorganized mess, though she was sure the owners knew exactly where everything was. The inside was quite glamours with soft pillows scattered upon the ground and sheer material draping from the tent ceiling. Low candle light made the place go from the original eeriness to a more relaxed and romantic feel, putting Caesi in a mellow type of mood.
An older woman came forth, limping ever so slightly though it was not very visible. It was a limp of the elderly, not of a damaged limb, as she made her way closer to Caesi. Once the woman became closer, Caesi observed that her right eye was white, indicating that she was blind there. The woman appeared to be quite old, older than most Drykas she had seen. The older woman stretched out her arm, the gnarled hand grasping onto Caesi's “Come to get your fortune from Ferem?” The older ladies voice crackled and wisped out.
Caesi was a little in shock, wondering how she was able to live as long as she had. The Drykas life could be luxurious yes, though it was still a hard life when it came to toiling out in the day and constantly packing and moving. She paused for a few ticks, unable to really catch her voice. However, after a few ticks she was able to muster up a sound that did not make any sense. Clearing her throat she gave the woman a soft smile, “I suppose so. I stumbled upon your tent. I did not know what would be inside.” Caesi admitted with a small blush, as she peered into the eyes of the older woman. In her right eye it was as if images appeared, though as soon as you would notice they would vanish, playing mind games with you.
Ferem gave a withered smile, nodding her head, “Yes.. Yes.. they have brought you to me for a reason child. Come, Come.. Have a seat!” The woman said with excitement. Her old and frail body picking up speed to match her happiness to have Caesi there. The woman wobbled around and sat down on a pile of plush looking pillows. A small table sat in the center, it was low to the ground and made for easy travel. Caesi followed the old fortune teller, sitting across from her in another pile of plush pillows, then glanced across the table at the woman.
“So how does this work?” Caesi asked a bit nervously. Her tone came out with a slight tremor, as this was something she had never done before. She would not ever go to a fortune teller. Sure, she believed in such things, however she was always the type to create her own future, afraid of what the fortune teller may say.
Ferem gave her a tender smile, noticing how nervous she really was, “Most want to know what the future holds for them. Some can not remember the past, so Ferem remembers for them. Then there are others who are lost and Ferem will guide them.” The older said with a soft chuckle, looking upon Caesi's confused face. “Ferem will guide you.” The withered woman said with a smirk.
Caesi was not sure what to think about this. She was a little in awe and shock. She could not agree or disagree. Instead she just sat there, letting the events of whatever happened, happen.
To Create a Future
