[The Enclave] Digging for Answers

1st of Fall 513AV

Aose found herself at The Enclave once again, she had left her troublemaker winged companion in her room this time around. Not wanting to have to worry about him right now. She had found a way to skirt around the librarian, having felt no need to endure her wrath once again. The books she was looking for had nothing to do with the redhead teen that worked there, in fact... Knowing the luck she’s been having Aose would have trouble even locating anything about what she was looking for!

The books all looked the same to her! Leather bound tomes, scrolls wound up tightly and placed in alcoves, stacks of books and papers all over the place. Folders piled haphazardly on the tops of shelves. The folder that fell the last time she was here Aose noticed was once more on the shelf, the librarian probably saw it on the floor with it’s contents thrown back into it and then left there. I hope she didn’t remember it was me.

That was in the past, Aose had bigger fish to catch currently. Like information on an immortal peeping tom. She knew very little about the god that had decided she was strong enough to take on a quest. The second, yet not any less important than the first objective, was she wanted to know about that large bird she recalled the images of. Aose was brought up in the realm of large birds and yet she could not recall a bird in that shape or form. It frightened her in a strange way, but the journeyman image frightened the poor yasi in her sleep. Enough thinking of it! You are here for a reason, not to recall the petching images.

Berating herself was starting to become a past time for Aose and it was getting rather annoying. Her hands blindly pulled a tome from it’s place on a shelf, the ones around it sliding to an angle to close the gap, it was a makeshift marker, all Aose had to do was lift the open angle up and cram the tome back into place. The tome was heavy, a lengthy piece of work that probably was going to be useless to her. Yet, Aose was willing to dig through it’s words to find something, anything. She was in the section labels ‘Gods/Goddesses’ so she hoped to find something in one of these tomes.

“Eywaat, if yer kind ta me. Show sumdin’ eh? I ain’t gonna sit ‘ere all day and go a-lookin’ thru all dis books. Yer crazy if ya think dat.” Aose grumbled as she dropped her rump into a stool in front of a slanted reading table. Tome was placed on the slanted surface with a thud, the ledge across the bottom edge of the table keeping the tome in place. A cloud of dust puffed up, giving way to a coughing fit before she waved it away and lifted the cover away from the inner knowledge.

It didn’t take long before Aose let out a groan and dropped her head into the pages of the book. All she found so far was Ivak’s entrapment, Sylir’s death, and a few bits of information that was common knowledge. “Petching shyke.” She groaned out loud before lifting her head from the confinements of the tome and staring at the words. “Wut da petch am I doin’ ‘ere anyway? Des wretched things ain’t helpin’ me at all!” She slammed the tome shut with a growl before planting her head once more on the leather cover.

Sliding off of the stool Aose picked her head off the massive word-laden doorstop and brought it back to it’s resting place on the shelves. Cramming the tome back in it’s spot on the shelf Aose turned and sighed with her back away from the shelf she muttered something about target practice. A small smile graced her lips at the thought of her thudding arrows into a book from thirty yards away. Yes, that would go well... Wait... Yards. Length of space. She frowned, the atlas were just a bit over, yet she didn’t want to disturb the librarian any.

Going to need to do it anyway. Aose walked to the atlas, she was looking for a specific one, abandoning the mental note to finding the information she wanted to she decided that the atlas might help her locate something important her dream from last season nagged her. She remembered asking Kovac during the Summer if he knew of anything, which of course he didn’t. Not surprising either. Grabbing one of the maps she eyed it real quick, it appeared to have something she was looking for, the region at least.

Finding herself another table to sit at she folded out the huge map and anchored it’s corners down with books left stacked on the table. Placing a finger on the mountain she called home Aose frowned as she traced her finger to the west, after all that is the way she was flying in her dream. Sadly all her finger encountered was mountains, mountains, mountains, and coastline. “Petch.” She muttered. “Petch.” The young girl muttered again. There was nothing... Nothing she could use to prepare herself. The region she looked at was nothing but trees, mountains, and death. Emphasis on the death and mountains.

Clenching a hand into a tight fist Aose fought back the urge to cry. She wasn’t going to let her fruitless attempt in search of information to make her out like a little girl. She wasn’t a baby anymore. Steeling herself, even though the waterworks have already started Aose silently rolled up the atlas and put it back in it’s place before stepping out of the enclave.

“Where do I look Eywaat? Dere is nothin’ ‘ere of use! I can’t point myself in the right direction without any guidance. Aren’t you supposed to be some sorta guide?” Aose turned her head to the skies, even though they were hidden from view by a cave ceiling, she continued her whispering hopes to the Eywaat, “I mean petchin’ shyke. I am just a little kid. A child. A yasi. I may be bright beyond my years but this scares me. I know nothing of what I am finding myself getting into. You come to me in the mists of a bathhouse, bestow upon me a quest, a bird with an attitude worse than my own, and your gracing mark. And all you give me as a set of clues are a dream I can hardly recall, a picture of some odd bird creature, and a drawing of sumdin’ called a journeyman that scares me beyond belief and I have no petch’ clue why!”

Squeezing her eyes shut Aose found herself sliding down the wall around the bend from the Enclave, tears had started their red-tracking, “All I want to know is what ya expect of me. I know absolutely nothin’ beyond what ya shown me. Either by fate or by accident. Gimme a sign. A clue. Sumdin’... Anythin’.” A whimper escaped her throat.

“Please Eywaat? I beg of ya.”

It didn’t take long for Aose to get that sign from Eywaat her near upset of her’s shifted her body and the shaft of a feather poked her in. Reaching underneath her buttocks the girl pulled a feather from underneath. It was a black raven feather, the girl frowned at it, almost confused about how she didn’t feel it until then.

Twisting the feather by the end Aose stared at it. It’s glossy black color shimmered in the torches that were hung down the lengths of all the tunnels. The yasi girl would look funny as she just sat there, tears finally drying up leaving red streaks down her cheeks, staring at a feather. “Siilark?” She blinked and looked at the ceiling once more, “Seriously? Ya find this some sorta sick joke? That bird laughs at me more than ya!” Her anger was grating her voice, causing it to crack under the boiling pressure before Aose blinked and paused in her rant.

“Of course! Siilark...” She stood, pulling herself together and straightening her clothing before running down the tunnels and walkways towards the Yasi Quarters and her rooms. The girl ignored everything and everyone in her way towards what she hoped were answers. Knocking into Chiets, Avoras, and Deks alike the yasi cared nothing for who she angered at this point. Her mind was turning gears and those gears weren’t going to stop for nothing. Even pillars that supported the mountain’s weight above her weren’t going to stop her... For long.

Aose had dodged past a Dek knocking her shoulder against it’s body before pulling away and finding herself face first in the introduction of a stone column. Rebounding and finding herself on the ground she grunted and sat there stunned. Shaking her head to free the stunned haze over her Aose stood and ran once more, making it to her room without further incident, thankfully.

Barging through the door she found the raven she was looking forward cawing loudly. He had decided her bed was the best place to rest his tail feathers. Ignoring her wide open door she dropped to her knees and looked the bird in his eyes.

“Eywaat...” She panted, “Tell me about Brother Crow.” The answer came with a caw and then nothing. The gears in her head, thankfully she blessed Eywaat’s mark, because the bird’s caw translated to ‘Brother.’ amazingly quite clearly.

Aose stared at the bird, “Yes. Brother.” She paused, she wasn’t very good at talking to the bird, he laughed at more than anything. The girl thought before she spoke again. She tried to recall the day she met the god, the bird before her, and the fledging mark on her ear. It was his parting words that came back to her...

Seek the Queik for aid and beware that which walks the forest in disguise. Yes, she needed to know what the Queik was... “Brother said to find the Queik... What or who is the Queik?” The word felt odd on her tongue, it didn’t want to roll off easily, “Queik?” Aose had to speak it again, just get that feeling out of her mouth. The bird gave no sound for a bit before he unleashed a ruk, ruk, ruk sound. Aose sighed and turned away, Siilark was useless on that word.

“If ya can’t help me with the Quiek, then does Brother have a temple out west?” She pointed in the direction she hoped was west. Her eyes once more casting their gaze to Siilark. The bird pivoted his head to the side, a mocking look on his curved beak before he cawed and flapped his wings a bit before resettling on her bedding.

“Fine. I see ya have no answers for me.” Looking at the feather she twirled it around with a sigh and slid it over her unmarked ear, using the groove between lobe and skull to hold it in place. The black a stark contrast to her pale skin and fiery red hair.

“Brother said ya would be helpful when I needed ta find my path, yet ya can’t even tell me about my dream, nor the Queik.” Sitting on the bed she sighed, this day was fruitless in it’s results and Aose wasn’t sure what else she could search for. What leads she had were useless currently. I know just as little as I knew the day he gave me all this.

The frown that echoed the thoughts she thought Aose looked at the bird, “Ya know. Yer laughin’ at the one dat feeds ya. Don’cha think it’d be smarter ta watch that ruk ruk ruk?” The bird’s beak opened a bit as if he was stunned at her words before clicking shut. Aose smiled, “I know ya do it in good nature, but it’s disheartenin’. A girl has questions and ya laugh at her. Not nice, okay?” The look in her eyes showed a bit of the sorrow in her soul at this moment in time. She was lost in the whirlwind around her of gods, temples, and unknowns.

A child in a whirlwind she couldn’t control. Shaking her thoughts and sorrow away Aose looked at Siilark, “Well, I better get back to the Enclave and start diggin’ again. The heavens knows what Brother Crow asks of me, but I am determined to locate something.”

And Aose left her living quarters, shutting the door to keep Siilark within Aose sighed and started slowly towards the libraries of her home.
