[Auer]

Auer shuffled her feet, her teal eyes stayed focused on the gound. As the female paced around her, then stopped to file off a series of questions for Auer to answer; Auer felt she was being interriogated. 'Aren't druids supposed to be serene and calm like nature on a warm Summer's day?' Auer mildly thought to herself as she kept her gaze diverted.

When a reply was needed, Auer shuffled her smal dainty feet again as she dared to raise her head in eye level to the woman druid. Auer's honey toned voice spoke from her heart for she dared not answer any other way in case the druid could see her words and judge the truth of them.

"I -I do not know why you would train me, I guess that is a question you will need to direct at yourself." Auer tried to remember all the question that were quickly thrown upon her to answer. "Yes I do want to be a druid. Why? because...the truth is I need something to fill this gap inside. I need to be shown there are still wonders and beauty out there. I need to have something to believe in, to give myself over to completely in the hope that by druidism doing this for me, I can wholly give back to druidism." Auer took a breath in and again out before softly adding. "And that is why I want to train to be a druid."

Auer moved her fingers through locks of har silken dark hair as she began to answer another of the questions. "What makes a good druid..." Auer paused to briefly consider, she gazed around at their surroundings taking inspiration from the beauty she saw and felt. "I believe someone who loves nature and feels like part of nature. Someone who knows nature is not there to be used or controlled but someone who repects it. I know there may be so much more to this question but that is my answer for now."

"I think I will make a good druid because I do love and repect nature. I was conceived and was born in nature. Growing up my friends were the trees in our backyard. Nature calms me, it where I feel most wanted and at peace. Because of this and despite the wrong turned paths my feet have travelled on, I do possess a good and unselfish heart I think this is needed in order to be a good druid."

Auers gaze had retreated to the ground once again. Auer peeked a glance up at the druid to see if she could read her facial expression and to make sure she was listening still. Satisfied, Auer continued to speak in her soft honey toned voice. "I do not know exactly what I will be taught if you deem me worthy enough to be a druid. Perhaps I will learn some of what you can do there with the tree..." Auer indicated to the spot where the druid had been hiding and watching her. I hope to learn many wonders, secrets of nature and life, in which I will cherish."

Auer quickly scanned her mind to see if there were any other questions she had missed. When certain she had answered them all Auer fell to silence to wait for the druids judgement of her words.
