Dancing along the Fringes of Sanity

Enelya sat at the base of a enormous oak tree. She had left the Academy for some quiet, and, and things weren't exactly looking up for her. Kotah had returned, but he was different now... Very different. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to handle his situation. She had never felt so alone in all her life. Yes, she had Archie, and she had the plants... But she didn't have a human to confide in.

She wore a light green tank, that curved around her lithe form, and the darker green skirt she wore went down to her ankles. A slight breeze blew her long light blue hair around her face, spinkled with flower petals, and her misty purple eyes held a new darkness in them. A saddness she had never known before. "I'm so lost..." She whispered to the trees.

A windy response echoed through the forest, and the trees took their time explaining to her the necessities of patience. Patience will get you through this mess, patience is a virture that all must acquire. Patience.... Leaves blew around Enelya but she simply batted them away.

Enelya slouched into the tree more, and shook her head. This wasn't about patience. This was about disappearing into the world without ever being found again. This was about sinking into the earth, and turning into a plant. Green blood coursed through her veins, for she was not exactly human... But a botanical experiment. No wonder she felt lost among humans... Because she wasn't human.

"I'm so lost..." she repeated.

The trees sang a warning song, and Enelya's eyes grew wide as someone said something to her. She jumped, and threw her arms in the unknown person's direction, and vines came shooting from the ground, going at the human to swarm around him. Enelya then brought a tree branch down which she quickly jumped on, and the tree rose her up into its branches for safety.

Though once she looked down, and realized it was just a simple boy, Enelya relaxed, and retracted the vines before they could do any real damage. The tree branch slowly decended back to the ground, where Enelya was now at the boy's eye level. "Err... I'm sorry. I've been a little jumpy lately...."

Enelya took a mental note of his jumpyness. Unaware of his abilties, sneaking up on him could very possibly be a bad idea. "Apparently." She mumbled. As he looked up at her, asking if she was lost, Enelya mearly sighed, and shrugged. "Not in the directional sense, I'm afraid." Enelya gracefully slipped from the tree, and a few leaves crackled under her landing.

She walked around the boy, wondering why he kept looking over his shoulder. "Yes, I attend the Academy. Though I rarely find myself there. I'd rather spend my time in the forest." Enelya chewed on her lip for a second, wondering why such a boy was wandering around in the forest anyways. "Why are you here, anyways? No one comes out here. Ever." It was her private place where she could be with the comforts of nature... And not have to address her friendly persona.
