Fara're had heard Icheb's request to go find some flowers that were imbuded with some sort of magic. Well normally she would not have accepted such a task, but she felt that Chris could use the distraction. Especially after what had recently happened at the bandit camp. She had ensured that such an event would not be happening again. The first place they were to look was in these Hills of Mist. She had never been here but was interested in what was hidden here. She looked over her shoulder to the younger were-tiger following her. A task of finding magic flowers. She hoped the two of them were able to do it. She was not the best in the world about finding magical items. In fact she was not the best in the world when it came to magic period. But she was starting to get the hang of the strange art. She could finally cast a couple of spells without it blowing up in her face. "Come on Chris!" she called in a teasing voice. "If you don't hurry up I'll leave you behind and find all these flowers by myself!" She turned and bounded across the land, trying to turn this whole thing into more of a race. The more she was able to keep the boy’s mind of off recent events, the better. She wanted to see him return back to his normal self. |

Things had been rather calm since after the time with the bandits, in fact it had been to calm. Chris seemed to have lost much of the personality he once had, he had not been as full of energy as he had been before and he was much to himself and did not even talk as much as he usualy did. Not even the tail moved as it used to and it was mainly just hanging down in a sad was. It was unclear why he was like this, but it was not because of the bandits themselves but from what they had done to him when they trapped him into that cage. Chris did not know why he feared small places so much, but every time he closed his eyes the visions came back and he saw things that he should remember but yet he was unable to do so! He did not know what he was remembering and that made things worse. Chris was happy that Fara´re wanted to take him with her on this thing with the flower. Not that he actually knew what use he could be to her? He was most likely only going to get in her way or something like that. But it was something to keep his mind of the things that had happened at the camp, and also something that could help him stay awake and not fall asleep. The teen walked not to far after Fara´re and he had not been talking for a while now, he looked up at the woman when she called over to him and he smiled a little at her. But it was a weak smile and lacked the same energy he had once had in the smile, it was as if he did not have the energy to show happiness from his eyes anymore and the tail did not move and that was a sign that he was not as before. "Yeah, you wanted me to come along. I do not know what help I could be since you could get all these flowers easily by yourself....I will just be in the way and slow you down" he said calmly as he walked. |

Fara're turned and looked at Chris. Her feline ears drooped down. It pained her greatly to see Chris like this. He had seemed so depressed since he had been captured by the bandits. She knew he blamed himself for the trouble it caused her. He also was still plauged with the shadows of what had happened to him. She walked up to the boy and place her hands on his shoulders. Her eyes were soft and kind as she looked at him. "Don't say such things, Chris," she said gently. "You would never slow me down, and there are many things you can do that I can't. I want to do this with you. Because being with you brings joy to my life." She ran her finger though his air and gave it a playfull ruffle. She gave him a gently smile. "But what brings me the most joy about you is your smile. I would like to see your smile again," she said. "But I understand you are still upset about what happened. So I won't make you fake happiness, just to make me happy. When you are ready...give me your smile. I'll be waiting." She then took his hand in hers and gave it a squeez. "Now come on...those flowers won't gather themselves. Lets see if we can find it before the sun sets," she said. She rose still holding his hand. She gave him another gentle smile before giving his hand a small tug. Beckoning him to walk with her. |

Chris looked at Fara´re when she came back to him and ruffled his hair, he looked into her eyes as she talked. She was so nice to him and Chris loved her very much, he really did, she was his mommy. He did not at all know what he was suppose to say about her words with how much she liked his smile, what could he say? "I am happy to be with you to" he said with a low voice, he wanted to smile, but as she said she did not want him to smile to make her happy. So he did not smile at all. "I`m sorry I can not bring you joy with my smile." Chris looked at her for another moment and then he lowered his eyes. "I am not upset, I am afraid" he said with an even lower voice. He looked at his own hand when she took it in hers, he did not look back up at her face again but he nodded a little as she talked about that flower again. "Yeah, let´s find that flower" he said slowly, then he began to walk with Fara´re since she beckoned him to walk with her in a direction. He wondered what this flower looked like and how they where going to get it and all that. Well Fara´re was going to take care of most of that, Chris did not really have any major skills that could help...he could not move thought shadows or kick ass, he was just a nobody. |

Fara're looked down at the boy as he spoke. He admitted to being afraid. Admitting something like that was the first step to healing. She gave him a warm smile. Smiling for him and just being there for him was about all she could do right now. He had an internal battle to fight, that only he could fight. She could not help him with that, no matter how much she wanted to. All she could do was to remain by his side and give him the support he needed. “It is okay to be afraid,” she said. “Believe it or not, but even I get afraid sometimes. But what makes someone strong is being able to admit their fears, and to face them. With time you will learn how to face and conquer your own fears. I know you will be able to do it. You are strong, and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise. And don’t you ever make yourself believe you weak or useless, because you will only be lying to yourself.” She then walked with him in silence for several minutes. She just let her words sink into him. He needed time to think, to grow, and most of all to heal. She knew for sure he would heal. She just hoped it would happen soon. She wanted him to return to his normal happy and cheerful self. |

Chris listened to her words as she was talking and he did understand her words, he really did but yet he had a hard to time to get them. He did not say anything since he was to busy to try and think of what he could reply. "I know I am afraid, but I don´t know why" he said slowly. "as soon as I close my eyes I see those images in front of me, that black box and the laugh. I do not understand what I see, what I remember." he sighed deeply as he said this and shook his head slowly. Then he forced himself to not think about that matter anymore since they had a flower to find and it was more important then his weaknesses. His eyes looked around as they walked and he tried to search for this flower that he had no idea what it really looked like at all, was it small, big or what color it had or was it pretty or ugly. "Hmmm...do you know why we are looking for this flower anyway?....and what does it look like?" he asked slowly, he did think it was weird for them to go around look for a flower and he did not like to do it if he had no idea why they did it. |

Fara’re nodded to Chris as he spoke. “It is often times we can never answer why we are afraid. And sometimes we will never know the answer. With you it might be due to something that happened to you before you lost you memories,” she said softly. “But that is not what is important. Learn how to face your fears is what is.” She thought for a moment when he asked about the flowers. Icheb had explained that the flowers were used in some ritual to protect good, other than that she did not exactly know what he was doing. She had chosen to do this more to help Chris. She worked to try and remember the description the druid had given her of the flower. “Well…” she began. “The druid did say that these flowers are imbued with magic. So they should have a different feeling than normal plants. If I remember correctly he said that the flower we are looking for now is a white one. Something like a lily, but different. I am sure we will know it when we find it.” She felt a little silly now. She had not really given thought to actually FINDING the flowers. She was mainly interested in doing something with Chris that would help him over come his fears and bring him joy again. When this request went out she chose to do it for the boy’s benefit. |

Chris listened to her words as she was talking and he nodded a little, she was right. He had to face his fears if he was ever to overcome them. "Yeah, well I will try" he said slowly to her and looked down onto the ground as he walked, he did not at all feel powerful or with much courage. "Even if I am not as strong as you I will still try, I will do my best" he scratched himself in the messy hair as he talked and then his eyes moved up so that he looked at Fara´re again. Chris then listened to what she said about the flower they where looking for, so it was white and special? Then he knew what to look for, in truth he had no idea what a lily was so he would have to go with the color and the feeling. He gave her a slowl nod and then he began to looked around as they walked, he searched with his eyes to see if he could find anything close to what she talked about. As for now he did not see anything, but then he stretched himself and yawned slightly, it was then that the deck with tarot cards he had inside of a pocked feel out, they landed on the ground right next to the boy and he looked down, he examined the deck for a moment and then he stopped and bent down to pick them up but one of the cards slipped between his fingers and was captured in the wind, it began to fly away in the mist and Chris quickly launched himself after it and he did get it in the air but the next second he noticed something....this was a slop! With a small scream he began to roll down, he came to a stop a moment later and slowly sat back up with the card still in his hand, he looked at what card it was he was holding. The Tower? Chris then looked around where he had ended up and his eyes quickly noticed something not far away, it looked like something that was glowing in the mist, he stood up and began to walk towards it and he arrived to a small hole in a cliff and inside of there he could see it....yeah it was a flower....white and with a strange feeling from it. "Fara´re! I think I have found it!" he shouted back at her. |

Fara’re searched the land with her sharp golden eyes. She had no idea if they would actually find this flower. She hoped they would. She also hoped that finding the flower would brighten Chris’ spirits. Actually she would be happy if anything could cheer the boy up. It just did not feel right to be with a depressed Chris. She glanced over when the boy stopped walking. It seemed like he had dropped something. She noticed his cards. She had known he had had them for a long while, but never did understand those things. How could cards foretell the future? She felt it was best the future was not known. As he picked them up one of them went flying. And Chris chased after it. “Chris! Wait up!” she called as she ran after him. She chased after to boy. He seemed to have caught the card…but then he fell over a hill. “CHRIS!” She yelled. She picked up her speed and went after the boy. She leapt off the hill and just used her boots to fly down to get there faster. She then heard him say something about finding the flower. She landed next to him. “You okay?” she asked. A quick glance over let her now the boy was alright. She then looked to where he hand pointed. There was a flower in there. And she had a strong feeling that this was the one they were looking for. She leaned in and tried to reach it. She got close to it, but she was too large to fit into the small space. “Dang it…” she said. “I’m not small enough to get. Chris do you think you can grab it? You’ll be able to fit in there.” |

Chris eyes widened slightly as he looked at Fara´re and then to the hole and then to Fara´re again. "What?" he asked her as if he did not really understand what she asked him to do. He looked at the hole once more and just looked at it for a moment, his hand began to shake a little. "You....you want me to crawl inside of there? I could not....I will not" he said and there was a hint of desperation in his voice as he talked. "It is small and....no I can´t do it" he sighed a little and looked down into the ground, he did not want to go into such a small place....not for anything in the world as he was feeling now, he could not do it! |

Fara're knelt down by him a placed her hands on his shoulders. She knew he feared small spaces. Of course she would not force him to do this, but she felt this might be a good way for him to get over some of his fears. "It's okay, Chris," said gently. "I won't make you go down there. But I know you *can* do it. I know can over come your fears. I'll be right here, you don't need to be afraid. I know you can be brave." She knew he could do it. She had no doubts he could face his fears. It was just going to be up to him to decide what he did. For his sake she hoped he would be able to do it. It would be the first step to over coming his fears and nightmares. It would help move him towards become the strong and brave man she knew he would become. Sure he might need a little prod in the right direction or a bit of encouragment, but that was what she was there for. She gave him a smile, letting him know she believed in him. Letting him know she knew he could do it. Also silently giving him the small bit of encourament he would need to do this. If anything happened she would be right there to help him. Nothing bad was going to happen. |

"It's okay, Chris," said gently. "I won't make you go down there. But I know you *can* do it. I know can over come your fears. I'll be right here, you don't need to be afraid. I know you can be brave." Chris looked at her face, into her eyes. He listened to the words she said to him, the boy took a deep breath and then he looked towards the hole and then to Fara´re again. He did not say anything for a moment and it looked like he was thinking, then he took another deep breath and nodded. "I-i-i will do it" he said to her with a low voice and an unsure look in his eyes. "I-i-i will be brave and do this" With this said Chris walked over to the hole and stood and looked at it for a moment, his back was towards Fara´re and it looked like he was hesitating, then he looked at her over his shoulder. "P-promise you will stay right outside all the time? S-s-so I can hear you.." then he slowly went down to his knees and looked into the hole for a moment, he took a deep breath and gathered all the courage he could muster...then he began to crawl inside, slowly and he hesitated a few times before but pretty soon he was starting to move further into the small area. He could see the walls around him and it was as if they where closing in around him and he wanted to scream but he did not, he wanted to cry but he did not. He forced himself to focus on the flower, visions began to pass though his mind as he saw those things...but there was more now. He was a man dressed in black...no they where more then one. He could see the flower not far away and forced himself the last part and then he stretched out took it. He carefully turned around and was just about to make his way back when he felt something....something was holding his foot?! He could not get it out of whatever it was and he noticed that he began to panic. "Mommy....my foot is stuck!" he cried out, it was not a high voice, he was to afraid to scream...it was more a low voice. "something is holding my foot..." |

Fara're smiled as he said he would do it. Good...this was good. She gave him a nod as he moved into the space. He moved slowly, but at least he was doing it. Inch by inch he was doing it. "Good job, Chris," she said. "Just take your time. No need to rush." Then he began to call out to her. His foot had gotten stuck it seemed. She knew she could reach in there and grab him, but that would not do him any good. Not if he was going to over come his fears on his own. But she saw what the problem was. He had snagged his foot on rock. She would not physically help him, but she could talk him through it. "It's okay Chris," she said gently. "You just got your foot stuck on a rock. Back up a little and then lift your left foot higher. If you do that you will be free." She looked at him through the opening. She gave him a large bright smile, "Your doing a great job, your almost there. Just a few more inches. Your being very brave." |

Chris heard the womans soft voice as she talked to him and told him about the rock, then it was nothing dangerous that was taking him. "O-o-o-okey" he said with shaking voice and then he slowly moved backwards a little and raised the leg more when he began to crawl forwards again and this time he did not get stuck at all, he could see the opening as he came closer and it came closer and closer with each second, he could see that Fara´re was outside and this gave him the energy he needed, he was going to get out from this place and give the flower to her, he was brave. He saw her smile and hear her words that he was very brave and he arrived to the opening and took a deep shaking breath, he then tried to stand up but the legs was shaking and he had to sit down again, his eyes looked at the flower he was holding and then he turned the eyes up to Fara´re and he smiled at her for the first time in days since the accident, it was a weak smile and did lack the same energy as he usualy had...but it was a smile anyway.. "I did it, I really did it....and I´m okey." he said with a low voice. "I´m brave, just like a tiger" he looked at her and the tail slowly moved from side to side behind him, but at the moment he did not really care what the thing did or not did. He lowered his eyes and began to think...things had returned to him inside of there, he had started to remember some thing. "I remember more Fara´re, I remember I sat in the grass and played with a animal toy, a dog. Then suddenly a group of men dressed in black with covered faces attacked me. They picked me up as if I was nothing and threw me inside of a small black box, I rember the fear. I was so afraid and I hear them talk about selling me as a pet" he talked with a low voice as he tried to remember the memory more clearly, in fact he saw it all in front of his eyes as he said it. "I do not know how long I was in that place, since it was so dark and small I did not know what happened outside, from the start I tried to beg them to let me go. But they said.....that they where going to give me a new home, I as going t give them much money when they sold me as a pet." Chris raised his eyes and looked at Fara´re. "I remember I heard sounds, screams and sounds of a tiger, then something was outside of the box and opened it....I remember someone opened the box and I saw a weretiger, he was big and covered in fur. His eyes looked at me and he was sad, then he....called me lil bro and picked me up and hugged me. I remember I cried....then things are starting ti fade again. The last thing I remember was that he began to walk away with me, holding me in his arms, whispering lowly in my ear." he lowered the eyes again and sighed. "I have a brother somewhere..." |

Fara're smiled at Chris and pulled him into her arms. She gave him a tight hug. "See?," she said. "I knew you could do it. I told you that you could be brave. I'm proud of you." She listened to him as he spoke. So he had regained some of his memories. A part of her was happy about that. But she was also sad that it had to be such a painful memory. And brough about in such a painful way. She held him close and stroked his head. A small sad smile was on her face. "Sounds a little bit like what happened with us," she said softly. "But I promise that something like that won't happen again. But I am sure my brave little boy will be fine now." She then gave him a bright smile. "So...you have a brother huh? I guess we now have some idea of how to find your family. If your brother was a weretiger, that must mean your parents are too. Or at least one of them is weretiger," she said. "Maybe some day we will find them. Though I must admit...I'll be a bit sad to hand you back over to your real mother." |
