Description
The natural sounds of the woods were hushed, and the resulting silence hung heavy in the air. Between the spokes of trees, however, a lone figure ran as a trail of mist unfurled behind her, engulfing all in its path for a few lingering moments.

The lone Avian ran on, her eyes wide and blind to all that passed by. Her maw parted to emit a cry, but all she could summon was a silent, choking gasp as the waves of sorrow racked her body. She faltered only for a moment before hastening deeper into this place. Their place.

come with me
into the trees
we'll lay on the grass
and let the hours pass
take my hand
come back to the Land
where everything's ours
for a few hours

let me see you
stripped down to the bone
let me hear you
speaking just for me
let me see you
stripped down to the bone
let me hear you
crying just for me

let me hear you...

My entry for =kilara 's epic Avian contest. This is Mizgarth, who after learning of the death of her lover Exiel, flees the heart of the Avian City to its outskirts where she can be beside her sorrow. I always saw Mizgarth as having to be very collected and proper due to her royal status, so I doubt she would allow herself the luxury of grief in the presence of others. Here, though, in the same woods she stole away to with her lover in days past, well, here she doesn't have to hide her torment. Here she can escape the shroud of duty, if only for a few hours.

Also, I'm not so sure there are trees even like this in the Avian world, so my apologies if they are uncanon, kilara. Just pretend for a moment, k? XD And for those unfamiliar, Mizgarth often surrounds herself with mist. Hence the mist. That also doubles as a METAPHOR, WHOA.

I'd also like to mention that I wanted to try out an Avian in my style rather than something completely realistic or a replica of Kilara's own style for Avians, thus Mizgarth's form is a bit longer and lankier than I believe she really is.

OH. OH. AND. I spy, with my little eye.... FORESHADOWING IN THE TREES. EEGADS.
