Tears Mixed with the Rain

[Eien]

Scaring the sky with its immense beauty, a bolt of light seared long the clouds. Thunder roared powerfully over the lands, and yet showering the grounds with tears of sadness. What would the world be without happiness and loneliness? Everything had an equal, without the day there would be only night, weighing the scale too much on one side of reality. Sided with this loneliness, a lone howl echoed in the trees from a wolf getting drenched with the pouring rain. The calm lake becoming corrupted as the droplets of water pelting the surface creating numerous ripples making the water become uneasy. It made her sad. The rain always has. It made her lonely, and made her wish for someone to share the rain’s beauty with. Instead of sitting under the gray sky, and feeling all the emotions of the world. Someone to let it all out on and yet not release her burden. Without that special person, the world seemed almost meaningless to her. She had tried to communicate with her siblings at certain points, and yet she didn’t get the attention she had hoped for, though she has yet to meet them all.

Delicate shapes printed on such fine material opened from its glossed case, spreading open to share its glory, and beauty. A simple kanji character stamping the design with its name: Wind. A slender, and small end held it at the end, with ease as if it weighed nothing, holding it up, and then putting it down, on nothing but air, hovering feet above the ground. Small and bare feet stepped onto the thing material with grace, as if she were walking on water. The soles of her feet were muddied from the forest floor, her light azure dress soaked; sticking to her body, as if it was glued onto her. Blonde and black hair laid flat on her head, decreasing any visibility of possible layers in her silky hair, a bandage stretching across her face, and around her head to cover her left eye. Around her neck was that of a rare crystal, in which conjured constant tornadoes beneath its polished surface. Only a few had a crystal similar to hers, and they were her siblings, one’s who shared the same suffering and torment as her.

Her cerulean eyes blinked constantly and squinted in the rain, water dripping from her eyelashes, and yet was it hers, or the skies? Her face was red, and she lay down on the material of the fan, allowing it to carry her out into the middle of the lake. Her eyes closed, as she let the rain wash away her emotions of sadness, loneliness, and heartache. It wasn’t a romantic heartache, no, more of what happened 1000 years ago, and only seemed like just yesterday. She would come here every time it rained. It was the only time she just let everything out, so when someone saw her, they would only think of it as the rain that made her face red, possibly a cold, or the rain that placed tears in her ears to roll down her cheeks and hit the water with much more than just a splash, leaving more than just a ripple on the water’s untamed surface from the force of the rain. Her tears tainted the water, placing everything that she didn’t want into the lake, discarding her unwanted feelings, imprinting it with her symbol of the wind, unintentionally. Though it was not visible to any eye, neither Draco, nor Human, the eyes of the sky could feel her pain, and almost lift it off her shoulders. But then again, this burden will never leave no matter how much the sky or heaves want to help. This pain will be eternal, just as her name implies. Eternal Pain will forever be with her.

[Yuki]

As lightning seared along the sky and the thunder roared, a young Female Ice Draco was making her way towards a lake she saw in her path up ahead. As the rain drenched her whole body, her hair became flat against her head. Her clothing stuck to her body and she tended to slip on a muddy patch of dirt causing her to fall and get mud on her short white skirt. The sky was grey with sadness and the rain as tears from the clouds pounded the ground. When she finally got to the lake, she saw a figure in the middle of the lake.

The figure looked strangely familiar to Yuki. She walked to the edge of the water and tried to get a better view of the figure. Although it was drenched with rain, she could tell it was a Female, and not just any Female it was one of her siblings. It was Eien! "Eien?! It is you isn't it? I haven't seen you for the longest time! Is everything alright, you look upset" she called to Eien. Using her power of ice, Yuki made an ice road that reached Eien in the middle of the lake. Slowly and carefully, she walked along it until she was at her sister's side.

She could tell, despite some difficulty that Eien was indeed upset about something. Yuki knelt down beside her sister and tried to smile to her. "You're in pain...aren't you?" she asked her gently. Waves of sympathy flowed through Yuki as she narrowed her silver eyes in a kind, yet, sad way. She hated seeing any of her siblings upset and would try desperately to help them out in any way she could. "I've been away from all of you for too long. Have you met anymore of our siblings? I haven't...I've been alone ever since it happened wondering what path I should take that would help me find it. So I can help others." she muttered quietly hoping that Eien knew what she meant by 'it'.

[Eien]

Through the warm summer rain, it was hard to see what lay right before your eyes. A slight fog drifted off the lake, caused from the warm rain mixing with the lake’s cool exterior. And arm was draped over the edge, her fingertips lightly touching the water. It was as if the rain made everything lonely, it was both a horrible and wonderful feeling depending on the person. And this girl was not a depressed person, only in the rain. She had no reason to feel the way she did, except an incident that couldn’t be helped by her own race. It was just the selfish acts of the humans, and the horrible feeling of being turned into what she detested most made her feel incredibly dirty with guilt at every moment. It was if the storm was the only thing to wash away her guilt, and sins that she had committed unintentionally. Would she ever be cleansed of the tainted feeling? She would never know.

The air suddenly got cooler, along with a soft voice. For such a cold and vicious element, the voice attached to being of Ice was neither cold, nor vicious. She was sweet, and vulnerable to her feelings. In which was a little like Eien in the heart of the summer storm. Outside the storm, Eien was a little curious about everything, and sharp as a tack. In the heat of battle, Eien could destroy an entire forest with one swipe of her giant fan that could conjure wind as sharp as blades. But even through the toughest wind, she could hear the voice of her sister. She could tell that Eien wasn’t in the happiest mood. Eien sat up, and looked at her fan, not directed her eyes at her sister. She just listened to her for a while, and then she mentioned what it was she was upset about. Her cerulean eyes widened with surprise, and her gaze darted to her sister.

She blinked, and smiled weakly at her sister.

“I doubt any one is going to Help you look for it, hun. Everyone is searching for it for themselves. To either become powerful or to revert back to normal. It’s going to be hard finding someone who wants to help you.”[/size] She stood up on her fan with great ease, and looked at her sibling.[/size] “But I can help you. We can travel together. I’ve found Kuni. She works as a guide for travelers. She’s not hard to scope out from the skies. Phoenix is yet to be discovered, as well as anyone else.”[/size] Her smile pierced through the pouring rain, her tears being swept by the sky’s tears. She was saved from sadness for today.[/size][/center]

[Yuki]

As the rain continued to pound the water and the land surrounding the area, the air around Yuki and her sister was cool. Caused by the power of her element. Yuki stood up in front of her sister and smiled weakly. The air seemed to warm slightly with the power of the smile. Like they say a smile is a Heart-warming thing, it could make others feel good about themselves and forget their troubles if they only returned the smile.

Yuki nodded to Eien when she agreed to help her. "Atleast it won't be so lonely now. I would really like to see Onee-Chan again aswell. Maybe we could go and visit her on the way?" she suggested. She turned her gaze up to the grey sky as the rain fell to her already soaked face. "I never liked the colour Grey. It was always such a sad and lonely colour." she mused. A small sigh escaped her pale lips as she recalled that fateful day when her life changed forever. "Why did it have to happen like that? It's just not fair..." she muttered sadly. It wasn't really a habit that Yuki ever cried, but she had the feeling it would be okay this time.

A couple of tears slowly made their way down the pale cheeks of the young Drago, although it was difficult to tell with the rain still pouring from the sky. She turned her back on Eien so she wouldn't be able to tell and started walking back down her ice road, the path disappearing behind her as she made her way across. Once back on land, Yuki dropped to the ground and pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them. She gazed at the ground before her figure as more tears made their way down her cheeks. Her shoulders shook slightly with every quiet sob she made, she tried to stop herself but sorrow had filled her and she couldn't do anything but cry for now.

[Eien]

She could feel the warmth off her sibling as she smiled back; it was if the rain itself had stopped just to let the sun smile upon them. And yet the sky was still closed up with the feelings of sadness and loneliness. She nodded to her about Kuni, and smiled. They would surely find her soon. Another thunderclap scarred the sky, lighting up the clouds, as a wave of thunder shook the lands. She looked up, as if not fazed by this at all, and smiled at the sky. You won’t have to be lonely anymore. But it’s okay to cry. She thought, as she stared at the sky. It was as if she were talking to the sky rather than herself. As if listening, the rain calmed and was less violent in the droplets of rain. Under the pressure lifting rain, she heard her sister sobbing silently, hugging her knees. She too was feeling the sins of others, and the hatred of the Humans for their mother. She gave a small sympathetic smile, and let her fan drift over to her, placing a hand on her shoulder, as she kneeled on the delicate fabric of her weapon. It was okay to let it all out; to show your emotions.

She shook her head in response to her sister, though she wasn’t looking.

[/size] “Selfishness of others, greed, and wealth. People desire power, and money. Whether it cost the lives of themselves or others. Greed can taint us all with envy, and lust. The 7 deadly sins resides in us all; some more than others.” She frowned, and took her hand from her sister’s shoulder, and placing her hands on her knees, as she sat on her feet, looking down, her wet, blonde hair hiding her gaze.[/size] “We bare the sins of others, the longer we reside in this form. We’re not like everyone else; we’re filled with sins, greed, lust, envy, of others, because it’s a Human emotion. No one cares what we’ve been through because they have different lives. Only the other can understand our Pain.”[/size] She lifted her head, and looked to the sky, as a thunderclap echoed among the lands. Closing her eyes, she let the rain fall onto her face, pale with sadness. Letting the wind overtake her, she sighed, looking down, as her small, slender hand lifted a familiar crystal to her sister, except slightly different. Eien’s had a constant tornado, whereas Yuki’s was constantly snowing from within.

Many humans desired the stone of the Draco. It was highly powerful, and contained their dragon soul. Without it, they were powerless. Eien’s wind blades would be no more in the hands of a mere mortal. Wrecking havoc on the world with all 6 of the gems. Eien clutched hers in her hand. She could feel the wind pulsing in her veins, the power of the wind itself coursing through her blood, and her body. Using it at any will without stopping. Rest was not needed in the powerful heat of battle. Vicious and merciless to anyone who tried to take old of what was precious to her. She let go, allowing it to fall and bang lightly against her chest, letting her hand fall to her knee, and her head lifting to the sky. Her cerulean eyes staring at the sad clouds. Yuki was right. Such a lonely color. Lightning light up the grounds, and she smiled, closing her eyes. Lonely, and yet so exhilarating.[/size][/center]

[Yuki]

As thunder roared and lighting soared. The quiet sobs of the pale girl began to stop. She slowly lifted her soaked head from her knees and wiped at the tears in her eyes. She let her left forearm hang over the side of her knees as she sat, staring deeply into the water of the lake. Things feel so complicated, and yet, they're so simply not. she thought to herself. As she was deep in thought, she came across a memory, one of which were both happy and funny at the same time. Yuki did all that she could to stop herself from laughing out loud at it, but that didn't stop the smile that played its way across her pale pinkish lips.

Once her eyes were cleared of all tears, they narrowed into a stare of hatred and loathing. "I would've rather died then have to spend my life as a sinful Human. Greed, envy, power...they're all just stupid emotions of the Humankind" she muttered under her breath. Her face cleared slightly as she looked over at her sibling. "When do we leave to go and visit Onee-Chan in that Village you told me she was in?" she asked childishly. She turned her body towards her sister and sat cross-legged, with her hands resting on either of her turned knees and smiled, like a small child. "I really miss Onee-Chan and I would love to see her again!" she cried happily. It was somewhat surprising how her mood could go from sad, to mad, to glad within below a minute.

Yuki took her gaze to the Grey sky aswell and sighed deeply. Slowly, Yuki noticed the sun peek out from behind the dark clouds. It was finally starting to stop raining. The sky would become blue once again, she smiled to herself again and gently closed her eyes. She threw her hands up and let the slowly despersing rain wash over her already soaked figure.

[Eien]

All she could do was cheer her sister up, but whether it was affective or not was really up to Yuki. But it seemed that something made her smile. She placed her arms behind her, her fingertips pressing up against the fabric of the fan. Leaning back on her arms, she stared up into the sky, the storm was letting up. The sun bled through the clouds, tearing through as it reached the surface of earth. A ray of light caressing the lake’s rippling surface, calming it with the light touch of serenity. Soon this would all be over; all the pain, the agony, the hate. Soon everything would be back to normal.

She looked down at her sister as she ranted in anger, and then changed to happy. She chuckled slightly, and looked back at the sky. She stared up into the deep blue heavens that took over the clouds, pushing away the sadness to let in the happiness. She shifted her weight to one side, and lifted a hand to the sky, as if wanting to let her fingertips brush up against its greatness and allow it to overtake her, and help her regain her rightful nature, her true form. Wanting to touch the sky, soar across the sky shedding her beauty; scaring the heavens with the elegance of the Dragoness form. She was a creature, not meant to be a caged bird.

Her cerulean gaze drifted down, her hand lowering to be pushed behind her and hold her up. She chuckled again, in which turned into a heart filled laugh. Rain drops dripped off her body, as it stopped allowing the sun to stream from the heavens to shine upon them.

[/size]“Soon enough, we’ll look for her from the sky; she’s likely on the move by now.”[/size] She sighed, and smiled, as she looked at the ground. She pushed herself up, and stood on her fan, holding a hand out to her sister. [/size]“You want to soar in the sky once more?”[/size][/center]

[Yuki]

The rain finally seized and the bright yellow sun shone through the now fluffly white clouds. Hapiness filled Yuki like a burst of energy in a child who had just had a lot of sugar. She let out a sigh of happiness as she let the sun dry her body and hair. Things were finally starting to brighten up for her.

She heard the movements her sister made as she shifted and stood and anything else she did. She heard her voice, it caused her to look over at her and stare into her face. "You mean we can? We can actually fly?" she asked in the same excited childish tone. She reached out her hand and took her sister's in hers. She smiled at her again and stood up. She looked down at her sister's fan and understood how flying would be possible. "You mean your fan can fly? I've never seen it before...is it safe?" she asked as she looked into her sister's eyes.

She still couldn't really believe that she had finally found one of her lost siblings. She would soon see her big sister again aswell. She was both glad and scared that things might've changed between herself and Kuni. It was a foolish thought but still sensibly none the less. All Yuki could do now, was hope for the best...

[Eien]

The girl’s icy touch came in contact with her own, and she lifted her up, and onto the fabric of her fan. Releasing her hand she smiled.

[/size]“Of course it’s safe. I fly on it all the time. It’s not as exhilarating as using your wings, but it’s just as efficient.”[/size] She sat down, looking up at Yuki. This fan can hold 500 pounds with ease, and can chop down this entire forest in one swipe. Flying it no problem for the 2 Dracos, whom of which barely took up 1/3 of the weight limit. She looked up into the sky, the sun streaming through the clouds, pushing them away, like angels greeting the earth. Her fan drifted into the streaming sunlight over the lakes, now clam, surface. Once over the lake, the fan lifted higher and higher until above the clouds, her cerulean eye glancing quickly at the ground, and the rushing her fan forwards, fast, and yet not fast enough to force everyone off without something to hold onto.

The wind rushed through her hair, her one, useable, eye darting back and forth as if leering right through the clouds with x-ray vision, her eyes searching. Bird’s Eye View was most helpful in some of the toughest situations. In fact, she had an advantage, searching from the air. She could see everything, and not to mention the ability of the wind helping her see better too. No matter how fast the wind pushed her, she would use her own abilities to help her see better in the toughest wind. [/size]“Bingo.”[/size] Her voice pushed through the air, as her fan stopped slowly, and she looked down at the Temple. She could sense her sister’s presence, and it would be at this temple soon. [/size]“She’s working, we’ll catch her afterwards."[/size] She laid down on her fan looking into the sky. [/size]“For now, let’s just wait.”[/size]

OOC: You can continue this in Why Here. That’s where Kuni and Eien are, just join and make it seem you were with Eien the whole time.[/size][/center]
