Time for Myself [P/Quest]

Eöwyra.  Anthro form.


The Arkundra drew in a deep breath as she stretched her impressive feathered wings out.  It had been a long time since she had traveled anywhere on her own, but she had decided that it was beyond time for her to take some time for herself.

With the war, it had been challenging.  Ryen had gone off to the war, as he had in days past.  She hadn't heard anything back regarding his status, and Eöwyra wasn't sure if that was a boon or a burden.
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

As challenging as it was, Eöwyra shook her head and stretched her wings again.  She had promised herself; she wasn't going to dwell too much on the war on this retreat of hers.  She pushed her wings down hard, lifting her off of the ground as she began to look around.

Why haven't I come out here before? she wondered to herself.  It seems so peaceful, and like a place that I could truly settle if I wanted.

As she flew above the farmlands, she drew in a deep breath.  The air was certainly calmer here, and something about the farmland seemed... appealing.

Eöwyra... I thought you promised that you weren't going to make any particularly rash decisions.  Isn't that what you promised Wyra, and Ryen's children? she thought to herself, shaking her head.  After some time, she began to angle towards a property that looked to be deserted.

"It isn't rash," she said, partly out loud.  "In fact, it's perfectly rational."

After examining the farmland, Eöwyra concluded one thing: the land had, indeed, been abandoned--some time ago, if the state of the property was any indication.  However, if there was one thing that Eöwyra could say of herself, it was that she never backed down from a challenge.  With a steely determination in her eyes, she turned back to the man who had followed her out to the property.

"I'll take it," she said.  She pulled out a bag of keystones, and the man offered a mumble as he took the keystones and offered her a piece of paper--the deed to the land.

She could tell that the man thought that she was crazy.  The land was overgrown; it was going to take some working to make the land viable for crops and livestock again.  There was no shortage of land for crops or livestock, but it was in disrepair, and covered in trees, weeds, and rocks that would need to be moved.

"Well, it can certainly be said that I'm going for it," Eöwrya murmured as her ears flicked slightly.  She pulled her wings closer to her body and made her way towards the farmhouse that was situated on the land.

The farmhouse was, at the very least, in decent shape.  It was small, but it at least had a kitchen where she could cook and a bedroom where she could lay her head.  With a thoughtful murmur, she looked around the farmhouse, her tails swaying peacefully as she offered a decisive nod.

"I'm going to need tools," she said to herself.  With that, she turned and made her way out of the farmhouse, locking the door behind he.

The path into town was a peaceful one to walk.  Eöwyra walked it slowly, looking around as she tried to map everything out in her mind.  It wasn't that hard to do, but it was something that she needed to do nonetheless.  After some time, she finally made it into town.

"Excuse me," she said to a vendor.  "I need some tools for clearing out some land."

"You're the one who bought the farm to the north?  I hope you know what you're getting yourself into," the vendor said, laughing as he moved to pull out an assortment of tools.  "That property's been abandoned for some time now.  I'm surprised there's even still a deed available to the land, with how overgrown it is."

"It's not too far gone," Eöwyra said, taking the tools and placing keystones on the counter.

"If you say so," the merchant said, taking the Keystones and counting them.  "You've gotta be crazy, taking on that property by yourself, though."

"Not really," Eöwyra said.  "What I am is determined, and on top of that, motivated to make something happen with the land.  Haven't you ever come across something that you just really wanted to stick with and make happen?"

"If you say so," the merchant said.  "I've been here in Sekudui most of my life, just selling things for the other farmers.  It's been slow lately, but there's still enough of a demand for my supplies."

"Then I suspect we'll be seeing a lot of one another as I get started here," Eöwyra said.  "I'm going to need seeds and the like for my farm, after all, and livestock--eventually."
