70th trial of Ymiden Arc 716

Sunbeams shone through the window of the tree house that was now home to the forest's Avriel, Noah. She had adapted fairly well to this new life, in her own opinion. Sure there were a lot of changes, no fires... That was okay. Tiny glowing bugs used for light, that was new and incredible! The Tunawa, tiny people of the trees. Noah was still trying to wrap her head around them.

Familiars were the strangest thing she had found, people speaking to the air as if something was there. Apparently these 'familiars' were only visible to one person. Noah had never heard of anything like this. Children who spoke choppy Common tried to explain. Supposedly everyone had the ability to have one, even her. One just had to achieve a certain spiritual level. However, the Avriel doubted that any familiar was/or would be waiting for her to make some kind of connection with it.

Noah gave a chuckle thinking over the whole idea, "I don't believe I need any other animal in my life except you Tuddle." She lovingly picked up the turtle she kept as a pet before setting him down beside some leafy greens. "You know, I'm going hunting today so... Don't throw any wild parties with Nivi! I know how you two get together."

She got to her feet and grabbed a bow leaned by the door. Her father's bow. Her final act of rebellion. The ultimate 'screw you' action she could of done. Noah had stolen her father's prized bow before she disappeared from their Avriel world.

Opening the door Noah gave a final look at the turtle. With a smile the bird-woman closed the door and descended the tree not by the stairs but by gliding down on her wings. It was faster this way. However the children of the village gathered around her still. She was a novelty any movement of her wings earned gasped. Because of this, Noah tried to limit her take offs in the village. She still had to stretch her wings like any other appendage even if it cause a commotion among the children.

Today when the youngsters gathered around she waggled a talon at them, "Ah-ah.." Noah showed them the bow she held as to tell them she was going hunting. Much to her relief they seemed to understand that she was busy today. Many said something in their language a 'good bye' or 'see you later' she had found out over time. A few said something different, Noah heard people say this jumble of words to other hunters before they went on a hunt. Perhaps it was a phrase of 'good luck' or 'good hunt'? The phrase's meaning was still muddy to her. A soft smile was given and in a language the Avriel barely understood she mimicked the children's farewell. "Gu-ah... Good... Byee..." She must of said it correctly as the children beamed at her words, some clapped. They had every right to be proud, these kids had taught Noah her first words of their tongue.
