It was dark and cold outide with a blistering storm raging about. The weather was throwing a fit and brought on a deadly blizzard. The north seemed to always bring these storms. Eden always came here while there was a monster of nature unleashed. He liked it beause of low population, people always left here before the storm hit. It could not be seen from inside the inn, but the blanket of dakness hid the power storm cell. It stood miles high into the air, bringing destruction where ever it went.

Eden sat in a hard, wooden chair placed in the corner of the inn at a small round table. There he was hunched over the table with a quill in his hand, scratching against the parchment scroll. He was writing a letter to a close friend of his whome he could not wait to meet. It was a letter to Meera Skiers. She was a wonderful person whom Eden only had a few conversations with, but conversations that were very worthwhile. With a few torches set up on the wall, the quill scribbled on the paper, reading:

Dear Meera,
I am very eager to meet you in person. I apologize for not informing you my
whereabouts, but I had a goal I had to accomplish. In a few days after you recieve this letter, I will be headed for the Norwood Forest. I am in the far north right now, my goal accomplished. I now have a new friend
that I would like you to meet. 'till we meet again,
Yours Truly, Eden

Eden stood up and made his way the door. He grabbed the silver handle and twisted to open the inn to the bitter cold outside. Eden poked his head outside and a loud whistle came from his lips. Nearly two seconds later a man on a horse came by and snatched the scroll from Eden. It would be sent to Taras City. Eden grabbed his things and left the inn. Mounting his new friend, he kicked off and on they went to the Forest of Norwood.

Meera stood in the middle of one of the many streets in Taras. Her face was tilted towards the heavens, just staring in awe at the sheer size and darkness of the cloud that loomed over them. You could call her weird, but no matter what the circumstances, she loved storms. They always had a way of mesmerizing her and she loved the power that they symblized. With other people it was different, they tended to squirm on those low pressure days and began to get nervous and tense up. Her companions now, were another story. Enzo, being a fire horse, had a reason to hate storms. Meera knew this and had already booked him in the stables of Kellen for the night. Meera never knew how Venorik and Marqee felt because they were always off doing something. She didn't bother with them. Akira was fine with it, after all, it was part of her lifestyle. Salmo and Sayuri's only concerns were about warmth so Meera safely kept them inside of her cloak pressed up against her so she could share her body warmth. Kalani and Akira were the only companions that would be with her during this storm. Except for Sayuri and Salmo but they wouldn't come out.

Suddenly, She heard the distinct sound of shod horse hooves on the cobbled ground. Meera looked back down to see a man upon a horse. She didn't know this man, but he stuck out a peice of parchment. After Meera reached out to take it from him, he turned his horse around and cantered back towards wherever he came from. Meera quickly opened up the parchment curiously and began to read what it wrote. Her face immedietly brightened up. She hadn't seen him in so long. Her entire body was just shaking out of excitement. Quickly, Meera looked behind her and saw Kalani. "Perfect" she whispered as she ran over and jumped on her. As Akira looked up at her curiously, Meera scooped her up. Excitedly, Meera tapped Kalani's sides with her foot and they were off into the air. During that whole flight, her thoughts were about -would he be different? I'm so excited to see him. Who is his new friend? Why does he want me to meet him now?....- They went on like that until they arrived over the Norwood forest. Meera knew that it might be a while until Eden arrived, but it would be worth the wait. She wanted to see him the moment he came and no less.

The air was cold up high. At high speeds, the biting cold could make one look as if he aged years as there would frost growing on their hair. The rose up high and Eden had been traveling for nearly half a day. The journey was a good site to see. Being up high showed Eden the wonders of the land of Imythess. They slowly passed by as he drifted in the noon sky. On to Norwood Forest he was heading. He could not wait to meet Meera again. It had been such a long time he felt. He had to admit that he did miss her. She was a one of a kind. Her smile was warming to the heart and eyes held a powerfull gaze. Eden could be lont in her eyes and not even care, as long as he was with her.

Now came the green of the forest he had been headed for. The trees started out thin at the edges of the massive green empire. As he and his new friend traveled farther, the thicker and the taller the trees grew. Eden was looking down for the open area he knew he would meet Meera. There it was, a small open patch where Eden had encountered Meera in the forest. The tree stood tall in which he was hiding, waiting for her to pass. It was grand and very old. The trunk could have had more than twenty people holding hands around it.

Eden lightly kicked to his side and he began to descend. The air was warm here, not like the air in the north. He did not see Meera so he landed and sat down next the trunk of the tree. Pegasus trotted off to some fruit bushes. The trip must have made him hungry. Food did not sound like a bad idea to Eden either. He got to his feet and squated down. He created a basic camp fire and began to roast some meat he collected just one day ago. He hoped Meera was hungry as well.

((OOC: If I mess up on anything then plz lemme know. I dont want my posts to go uncorrected. Thanks.))

As Kalani finally found the one clearing that she knew that both her and Eden knew of, the pounding of Meera's heart she felt was sure to let anyone know that she was coming. She felt that it could be heard from almost a mile away. As Meera finally felt Kalani's feet completely touch the ground, she literaly vaulted herself off in excitement. The clearing was large and she had touched down somewhere along the edge. Meera's eyes sparkled energetically and she impatiently ran her hands through her hair. Forgetting that she still had Akira in her arms, Meera walked around in a small circle, her eyes pausing every few seconds to see if there was anything abnormal or to be spotted out that signaled another human being. Akira, knowing fully well that they were on the ground, but still not knowing why Meera hadn't placed her down, began to squirm. Just like being snapped out of a trance, Meera looked back down at Akira with a confused look on her face at first. Then realizing what Akira wanted she placed her down and muttered a quick "sorry". Akira ran off across the clearing nose snuffling across the ground hurridly. Meera immedietly went back into her trance-like state, not caring about anything other than finding Eden.

Meera's mind ran over all the possibilities about why she couldn't find Eden. Two of the more sensible ideas were that he had not yet arrived which, as sensible as it seemed, Meera somehow highly doubted. She didn't know why, but something told her he was already here. That led to her second possibility. This one she truly thought was the real reason. She, knowing Eden, thought that he would probably be hiding out somewhere waiting for her to come. That still didn't help her find him at all. Norwood was a huge forest and he could be anywhere in there. Meera sighed and decided that she would just have to play along. Motioning to Kalani, she began to wonder where Akira had gone. As she turned to look at the other side of the clearing, she just saw Akira's bushy tail dissappear into the trees. Meera sighed and walked off after her. Meera knew she was way behind her, but she could always locate her with her spell -find farmilliar-.

Akira meanwhile had followed her nose to the scent of a human and a hooved companion. Finally, smelling the scent become stronger, she looked up to see a vaugley farmilliar face. Looking up at him, her ears perked up and her mouth opened to a friendly foxy grin. It was her way of feeling accomplished.
