Deimos Back into the morning quiet, the hushed parameters of wooded confines, assembled in the masses of copses and shifting, changing leaves. Try as he might to render his movements completely into silence, the crackling, brittle banners below his feet gave him away; stark reminders of things he’d deigned to find, to exploit, mere seasons ago. Hunting could’ve been out of the question then, already granting the forest prey an audience, and he shouldered his bow, his quiver, back along his shoulders, sought to buy time, possible forgetfulness of younger, more foolish animals, along the Stonesong’s depths. The General maneuvered towards the soft, haunting melody, reveries of irreverence, like siren calls curling through his ears, against the perimeter of tree-lined embankments. Piercing eyes followed the wake of its sharp, honed movements, knowing the rocks and boulders underneath, the treacherous and tempting paths. On a warmer day, he could’ve intertwined amongst its masses with emboldened strength; but his gaze narrowed, flickering back over the runes of the groves instead. Zuriel, far more light-footed than he, merely slipped along the eaves, as if she were at one with the noble trees and the encroaching boughs. But then she spotted a familiar sight, the slightest hint of excitement in their connection, and he turned around to see her staring into a pool, water collected in a low spot, amongst soil and rocks, and he sighed. Not one of those damned puddles again – his experience last time had been with Loren, lengthy discussions in between glancing into the unknown and find it sharing things in return. Out of sight and out of mind Make everything alright So let the sky and sea collide Just not in our lifetime |

Ronin had done his damndest not to use the portals, nor to approach the Grounds. But unfortunately - and one did not break a deal made with one's goddess - it appeared that the Dark Star would be finding his way back to where it all began sooner rather than later. That didn't mean he could face the Grounds just yet, and Ronin had come to the Greatwood to try and... what, exactly? Psych himself up? Either way, his feet took him towards the singing river, and he let them. Staring up at the canopy of leaves, he was lost for a moment in the brilliancy of Leafchange in the forest. Only the snap of a twig dragged his attention back down... and found a very familiar figure indeed. "Deimos." The General's name slipped from his lips quite without his permission. Whether or not it was a good idea to draw attention remained to be seen. the dark star

What had Ronin been expecting? He absolutely couldn't have said, only upon reflection, it might not have been wise to blurt out the General's name so candidly. Yes, he and Amalia were fine. Yes, he had come a long way since that dark day when he had seen his little girl, lifeless and bloodied in Rexanna's arms and thought both she and Remi dead. But that did not prevent his actions from having consequences. Some had already shown themselves. Another was about to floor him with a punch. The crack of Deimos's fist meeting his jaw seemed to echo throughout the Greatwood (it probably didn't, but the noise certainly seemed to rattle around in Ronin's head a lot), and the trees flipped upside down and the earth swam. Tasting copper and already feeling his jaw and cheekbone begin a steady throb of agony, the Dark Star had to reach up and check that nothing was broken. He'd gotten lucky, he thought. Still, groaning and disoriented, he managed to get his elbows under him enough to gaze up at Deimos, even if the other man was blurry right now. "Deserved that," he managed. "Want to keep goin'?" the dark star

No was good. No meant not risking concussion (if he didn't have one already) or breaking his jaw. Letting out a breathless sort of sigh, Ronin was about to try and get up when the very pointy horse started making her way towards him. If it weren't for Isla, the Dark Star might have fled, thinking the unicorn meant to finish him off instead. Luckily sense kept him seated, and he closed his eyes to let the healing warmth wash over him. "You didn't need to do that," he said, wiping the blood from his mouth. "But thank you." Then, glancing past Deimos to the puddles that Zuriel had been gazing into, he raised an eyebrow. "Jumping in puddles? Doesn't seem like you." the dark star

It was for the best, perhaps, that they did not continue down those lines; thinking someone to be dead and actually having them be dead were very different, as Ronin could very much attest. He got unsteadily to his feet as the General explained the puddles, and he had to bite back the amused comment about them showing images. Reflections? he wanted to say, but wisely kept his tongue. Especially given that one of the puddles was indeed showing something entirely different to that which Ronin had expected, and the Star frowned as he approached another. In it the broken Temple reflected back at him, and he nearly rolled his eyes out of his head with how quickly he attempted to glance away. "I wonder what makes them so different to regular puddles?" he asked. "Maybe they want to tell us something?" the dark star

"Mm... I'm seeing both the past and things I don't understand," Ronin murmured to Deimos, wondering whether he really ought to look in another puddle. He was pleased, this time, to see a brightly starlit sky, though what it meant and whether it was a future vision was beyond him. In the puddle a star began to fall, and Ronin moved on. "Maybe not the future, then, but our fortune." That brought a smirk to his lips, and the Star skirted around Zuriel (she might have healed him but he did not want to get on her bad side) to stand nearer to Deimos (though whether he was any better was beyond him). "Did you have fortune tellers, back where you are from?" he asked, peering now into a puddle that strangely did show his reflection, at least at first. Then it shimmered and became the face of a person he didn't know. the dark star

Holding the stranger's gaze in the puddle, Ronin watched it for a few more moments before he moved on, losing interest when the reflection didn't reveal anything further. "Do you think other people see us in these puddles sometimes?" he asked, meandering along as they spoke and casting a sidelong look into another patch of still water. This one showed the sprawling beaches of Torchline and a bonfire; nothing particularly strange about that. "Mm, same. They were usually part of a carnival or some other thing," he agreed with Deimos regarding the fortune tellers. "I visited one once though, that seemed real. Either that or they were just very talented with illusion magic. I can't say they told my fortune, per say, but they definitely took me on a journey." the dark star

The ones I see are dead. Yeesh. They were a right cheerful pair, weren't they? Ronin didn't know if he had preferred the punching to this morose staring into fortune puddles. "That's a spooky thought," he murmured, though he didn't sound particularly ruffled by it. Mainly because he hadn't seen anyone of note in the puddles yet; no Vanya, no Aoife, no Roana. Perhaps their appearance would change things, but Ronin still found himself peering into the water, like it might just be worth it. "No, I don't believe so," Ronin said quietly, shaking his head. "Apart from the falling into another world part, but I can't really say that a fortune teller predicted that. The world they prophesised was nothing like this one." Glancing back up at Deimos and slipping his hands into his pockets, he considered the other man for a moment. "I'd say people like you and I are better suited to making our own fortunes, besides." the dark star
