The Second Cycle of Immanis
in the Season of Winter
Aydyn had heard about the turtles. It had been hard
not to hear about the turtles upon spending time within the city. They were the topic of many conversations and how could they not be with the promise of treasure whispering through the air? Aydyn had little care for treasure. By nature, she was not a materialistic woman, preferring the dirt and the trees to a large home built of the sturdiest stone available. The turtles themselves were the allure, great majestic creatures of the sea that Aydyn had never before seen.
That afternoon Aydyn strode the beach without really intending to actually see one of the creatures. She wished to, but she knew the futility of her efforts, standing there on the beach, removed from the sea. The turtles belonged beneath the ocean, a place she regarded with some reservation because while she had spent time by the ocean before, she could not begin to understand how life went on beneath those dark waves.
She wrapped her cloak tightly around her figure as the chill of the winter wind brushed in off the sea. Cold. She didn't want to linger too long. She didn't even really know what she wanted. To see a turtle. Yes, that was what she wanted. The poor turtles that people were probably trying their hardest to hunt and kill based on a few reports of treasure. And what real use was treasure? One spent it and it was gone. It helped a person live for some time, but inevitably it would be gone, would it not?
No, Aydyn did not understand the need for treasure. But she did understand the desire to witness nature in all its beauty.
ooc: I know everyone else is doing 1st Cycle, but Iseult is around 1st cycle, so 2nd cycle it must be
Hope that's okay...
