    A Strange New Place, er,

    World? {Open}

    The land around her was barren, but even she could tell rightoff the bat it was a mountain. Kyaryn looked around her in adaze, feeling her wings ruffling slightly behind her. "Where am

    I?" she asked quietly. She was quite aware of the fact that therewas no one around her, but she didn't like the silence in thisnew place. Sure, there was the common noise for being out inthe open, but there was no noise of her people.

    It had taken her a few minutes after waking up to realize thatthis wasn't her home, which meant something happened to herand she had no recollection of it. Her mind was still swirlingaround this thought as she looked around again, still sitting onthe ground. Should probably stand up, she thought, a beatpassing before she acted on the thought.

    Now she got a better look of what was around her and theshadow faerie noticed that she was indeed on a mountain. "Aw,well hell. Now I reallydon't know where I am," she grumbled.Her home didn't have mountains, at least not that she had seen.The faerie group farther up North probably have mountains...She shook the thought from her mind and frowned slightly."Okay, on a mountain. How to get down?"

    Very carefully with lots of talent, or fly. Or even better, stay uphere until someone finds you.

    "Yeah, but what if no one finds me?"

    The young woman shook her head and just cast another lookaround, it was always better to listen to the voice in her head.

    Her grandmother did say that it was her conscious, though shedoubted the fact herself. "Oh well, we'll just stay here for rightnow. At least the weather's good," she said with a soft sigh.

    Zoey walked slowly along the path at the mountains summit, the

    narrow path reminded her of home, since her people dwelled incaves that were found in cliffs. "Girls, keep up or I'll leaveyou behind." Two Chavi's followed close behind, one covered in

    dark fur, the other in a sandy color.It felt strange to be away from Tamirith, but they'd both had

    other things to do today. So she understood, when the efl hadfinally finished her errands, she found she'd taken less time

    than planned. Upon realizing this, Zoey decided to go for a hike,needing the exercise. The clear weather only made things

    better, which had caused her to lose track of time. The quiet

    atmosphere felt relaxing, giving her a peace of mind for themoment. "This feels great." Stretching her right arm,although her left arm wasn't in the sling anymore, she didn't

    use it much just in case.

    Tamirith's golden eyes glistened with joy, finally finding Zoey.He said nothing of his true intentions that day, but carried asimple box.

    Inside that box, many iced cookies waited. They were all hand-

    shaped into flowers and flavored with cinnamon. Two weredifferent, however. They were separate halves to a heart. One

    was flavored normally, like the others, but the other was ablood cookie.

    Tamirith sighed, taking one more leap. He tried to land safely,

    but his foot was caught by a rock on the path.

    As the vampire tripped, he looked up, barely catching the boxjust before it smashed into the ground.

    Tamirith looked up, blushing heavily. He had a scratch on his

    chin, and a few small scrapes, but managed a smile.

    "Zoey...I made you something..."

    A clackity-clickity sound reverberated across the mountain side

    as Oleksandra, in her heeled boots, unwisely traversed down asteep, rocky slope. She was attempting to reach a ledge a little

    ways down, hoping to get a better view of the upper cliffs andcaves from the lower angle. Why? Well, she wanted to make

    sure she had an accurate idea of how to reach each one, so thatshe might explore them in search of treasure. It was a long shot

    of course, but for the treasure hunter, any bit of valuablemineral or precious stone she found would make it worth the

    climb.

    She reached the ledge with one final bound, knocking someloose stones off the edge as she skidded to a stop. Looking back

    to the top of the mountain, Oleks noticed a figure she couldnt

    see from her previous vantage point. The young woman looked abit lost. The treasure hunter tried to ignore the urge to check on

    the girl, but as her eyes scanned the cliff face above, they keptwandering back to the stranger. Maybe I can get reward for

    helping girl, she reasoned with herself, And it much easier tohelp girl than explore many caves. With a sigh and an eye roll,

    she began to climb back up the mountain.

    Hello, she greeted when she got nearer to the stranger. Youokay? She wasnt entirely sure how she could help if at all. It

    wasnt as if she knew the mountains all that well, and if theyoung woman was lost, she couldnt direct her to a trail.

    The faerie girl, being unaware of the other people behind her,had perched herself on a rock to get a better look around. When

    she thought that she heard voices, she assumed that it was justin her head like always. However, when a voice appeared behind

    her and it was quite obvious that it wasn'ther mind just talkingto her, she pitched forward on her perch and almost fell off.

    Kyaryn let out a faint yelp, just barely getting her balance backin time to not fall over.

    With a slight grumble, the nineteen year old twisted around and

    looked at who had startled her. Spotting a woman not to farfrom her -though it seemed that she knew where she was-, the

    faerie girl couldn't help but give her a relieved smile. "I'm fine,thank you. I'm just more than a little lost. Umm... do you know

    where we are?" she inquired, tipping her head.

    Her wings rustled against her back as she stepped off the rock,watching Oleksandra and trying to ignore the voice in her mind

    that was telling her to do stupid things. Yup, sometimes ithelped her, sometimes she just wanted to strangle it. Mentally

    shaking that from her mind though, she focused back on thewoman befo re her.

    The elf fell back landing on the ground, "Don't do that, youscared me." Zoey looked at Tamirith in bewilderment, what had

    he been doing all day. But what she wondered more was whatwas in the box. All she could smell in the air was cinnamon.She

    smiled when Tamirith explained further.When rocks began to tumble down the slope, she looked up to

    see two figures standing far above them, "Hey, Tam. Do youthink those people are ok? They're pretty high up the

    mountain." Worrying she decided to climb up a bit to get abetter view.

    Tamirith got up, sitting on his bum. He looked a little sad.

    "Yes, I'm alright..."

    He wanted her to at least acknowledge that he'd been good,baking the cookies himself and bringing them to her, but what

    could he do? It didn't change that he loved her.

    He then smiled, too, watching her climb up, when she couldhave asked to ride on his back.

    It was mixed. He thought it was funny, cute, and sexy for her to

    just climb up.

    Then he remembered that she had said something.

    "What is it, Zoey?"

    He blushed as he tried to act like he was paying attention.

    Oleks was startled when the young woman lost her balance and

    nearly fell off the rock, misinterpreting the movement as athreat and instinctually wrapping her fingers around her gun

    holster in search of a nonexistent pistol (the treasure hunterhad lost it some point before arriving on Planet and still wasnt

    use to it being gone). However, the following yelp quicklysilenced her panic, and she cursed softly at herself for

    overreacting. She tried to nonchalantly wipe dist off her slacksto cover up her mistake as the girl turned to face her.

    The Yeahstern Montainz, she replied vaguely, unsure if the

    exact mountain they were on had a specific title. Then, feeling a

    little guilty for scaring the faerie, she added, Zorry eef Izurprize oo.

    As the stranger stood and fluttered her translucent wings, Olekscouldnt help but ask about her ethnicity. 'Oo are fairy, no?

    The treasure hunter had briefly met (not really met, more justsaw) a fairy godmother when she first arrived on Planet, and

    thatfairy was able to conjure up tea and sandwiches withmagic. Therefore, it seemed logical to her that this faerie also

    had magic, and could conjure up some form of reward for Oleks'help. I vill yefeenitely get zomething out of thiz! she thought

    with a devious grin. But her grin swiftly disappeared when sheheard someone else scrambling up the mountain. Oleks once

    again groped for her missing gun while turning her gazedownward. Ah, she said, Look like vee not alone.

    Oleksandra's eyes followed the second stranger as she

    approached the cliff, her hand still wrapped around her empty

    holster. She relaxed when it turned out to be another concernedpasserby. "Yehz, vee are fine," the Waterbender called down.Turning back to the faerie, "Vee should get off cliff." They

    were attracting a lot of attention, and if other people startedhelping the faerie, it could cut down her possible award.

    Besides, there wasn't any reason for them to stay. The treasurehunter walked to the steep edge she had ascended earlier to

    reach the faerie, introducing herself before clambering down it,"My name eez Oleks, by the vay."

    It took a few minutes of careful downward climbing before she

    had reached the newcomer. "Hi," she said, crisp and short.
