A Foolish Summons

Sky watched him for abit, "I am going to trust you, but showing me your past can never hurt2 she said so sweetly it was funny. Sky was very nosy, she loved knowing any everything.
 
"All right I'll show you, besides there is a theme to the ones I'm showing you." Then he pulled her back to his memories, this time the young boy had aged quite a few years, and was now a teenager. He was playing in a great field surrounded by the young spirits of the winds, he was happy once again, but then the matron appeared and all play ended. "It's time last wing for you to find your way in the world of man, I have tought you many things, but now you must return to the world you were born to. But do not fret, for I will not send you out un-aided here are a few gifts for your journeys." She presented to him a long elegently crafted curved sword, "this blade is light, and sturdy, it's blade is sharp enough to even cleave the winds in half." This she handed to him, and he took it with great care, then she formed a bow and quiver, simple in design, but massive in size "this bow will never miss, nor will it ever shatter. With these tools, and the skills I have tought you, you will never find youself in need, and will be able to forge a path for yourself in the world." Through this entire exchange he was solemn, but never angry, never affronted at being thrown out from the only world he knew, he simply trusted in his skills, and the will of the matron, as it should be.

Time once again sped up, and she saw him forge his way out of the valley, hunting and scrounging what he could from the environment. Eventually he came upon a small caravan and arranged passage aboard in exchange for providing fresh meat for the whole group. They stopped at a small port town where he seemed to melt into the environment, helping others as they needed help no matter the inconvenience, and greeting all as though they were a dear friend. At one point a group of men told him of some work he might be able to do, and trusting them, they brought him to an alley where they assaulted him and tooke everything but his bow, and sword. Leaving him with nothing, and injured, but he did not cry or wallow in their trickery and instead when he had the strength got up and found a ship that was willing to take him on as a cook/medic.

Again time sped up, and the images she saw were of him doing the work of cook, and medic, as he himself healed, and increased his duties. He quickly became a friend to the crew, his body grew strong with the work, and he once again had a family, and was happy. The vessel itself was a trading vessel, and as was to occasionally happen came upon pirates, where he found a use for the sword, and not only forced the pirates back single handedly as his blade cut through armor, weapon and flesh in single powerfull strokes, but was able to even cut the ship in half. After which the sailors horrified by his skills, and the magic of his weapons abandoned him at the next port, only leaving his earnings with him as they too abandoned him.

Finally with a senes of a great pull, Sky found herself back in the present, the dragon god looking exhausted. "Did you learn anything Sky, tell me what did you think of the events as they unfolded."
 
Sky just blinked she was gone the came back stomping her foot, that was starting to get annoying really. Was the kid wind ryuu playing with her know, it was ryuu she know who moved her she had beat the name out of the wind in a game of wit. She sighed "ryuu unless i want to move dont mind me" she snapped and the wind blow softly, unset and being yelled at sighing she turned back to the dragon god. "well at first that your stupid to trust so easy in others, for they can easy betray you if you get to strong, also it shows me that you can only trust your self to get anywhere for anyone can turn if they feel it is worth it2 sky said shrugging also that she could trust him but she was not saying that out loud just yet.
 
"You forgot that the matron had explained to me that I should follow her teachings. I did that, and for the most part it had lead me down a joyfull path, there will always be pain in the world. If we only experienced joy, and pleasure we wouldn't learn anything. If we only focus on the bad, then we will only become miserable, at the time I chose to be happy for my experience, it also lead me to meet the mistress of water. Now I think I need to show you something, I always keep something from my experiences, good or bad in order to help me remember." He lead her to a room in the castle that upon entry was massive and filled with a great deal of treasures, some dating back centuries. He lead her to one which was an anchor, it was the anchor to the ship he served on. "My fellow cremates eventually came back, and asked for me to serve on the ship. Over the years they helped me out of a few binds, and saved my life. The point I'm trying to make is that given time they helped me, I trusted them and eventually that trust was rewarded. The world is filled with good and bad people Sky, if you harden your heart and refuse to trust others, you're going to have a horrid life. If you view only the bad things that happen, and refuse to acknowledge the good in your life, of course it will seem like nothing but pain exists in it."
 
"nothing but bad is there in my life, I trust and I get hurt plain as that. the only good thing in my life was far was dream of you as a child when i was growing up which stopped me going mad for some reason" she said with a wave of her hand lightly. and the window broke, 2god damn it" she snapped "ryuu" she said then wind quicky blow away she rubbed her head, 2that young wind needs to stop trying to make me happy, he keeps mistaken everytying i do and ends up just annoying me" she said lightly. she went to the broken window and sighed god this was a mess.
 
This time he was visibly surprised "you dreamt of me as a child?" Then he grew thought full and said "tell me what do you think are the attributes that define the winds. What is the secret you have been tought, and what you know." It was time he understood her teaching to see what she really knew.
 
sky shurgged "i had alot of dreams about you as a child, i plaied with you in my dreams that was how i learned to use the wind throw my dreams. the dream only came when i was almsot at broken point and i learn something new, but i dont reamber what i learn just that i know something and can do more" she said blushing softly. She felt bad she never reambed her lesson, but if the wind wanted her to reamber them they should not of done it in her dreams, "the littie i reamber from the dreams, is lots of smiles and priseing from your kid self saying iw as doing great and a warm vioce saying i would become strong and calling me little wind" she said shurgging.
 
"No I'm afraid that you rememberd, but have forgotten since then. I remember you, it wasn't a dream, you had actually crossed over into my time, the name Little Wing was my pet name for you, since mine was Last Wing. Eventually the winds picked it up, for that is one of the abilities of the wind, to cross over through time. The wind knows, and remembers everything. It will make teaching you much easier, but it also tells me how jaded you have become. For the only way to forget the teachings and secrets of the winds is to in fact become jaded and isolated. Do you wish me to tell you the true nature of the wind?"
 
Sky looked shocked, "no no no it was a dream i remaber waking after it wishing to go back becouse iw as stuck again with a dad who beat me." she said handed on her hips she had not gone throw time, if she had then she would of known, "and what dose jaded mean?" she asked frowning lightly.
 
"First of all, the easiest way to go through time is to take the mind in a dream state, and take it to a very specific time and place. The human body isn't hard to make, it's the soul which can't be replicated. As to jaded it means, agressive, reclusive, it's a term for people who have let the world beat them down. You still have fight in you, but that's all you have, you don't let anybody get close, and you become cold to the world."
 
Sky looked down ok she was jaded but how could she not be, everyone she eveyr trust betrayed her in the worse way. she sighed "fine i am jaed looks like i am a lost couse" she said lightly not looking up just watching the floor, waitting for him to give up on her to. The thought of time travel still in her mind, but more on the fact he had given her the nickname little wind, and it had been really she know she should of kissed him in her dreams but did she take that risk noooo it could of made him like her more now if she had. Then she thought it over, o wait she had kissed him the last time she dreamed of him, right on the lips to with tongue lots of it, she blushed then reambering the feel of it grinning shyly to her self forgetting he was there as she remabed that last dream or trip.
 
Smacked her lightly on the back of the head, a tap that wasn't nessicarily meant to hurt, but act as a wake up call. Then he forced her to look at him straght in the eye and said softly "nobody is ever truly a lost cause. You get me, never say that again, I will never abandon me, and that is what you have forgotten, to trust. Do you see yet, the true nature of the wind? It is never alone, there are always other winds close by, the wind aids the birds in their flight. Its aided you and me as well, I don't need magic to fly, I let go completely, I trust absolutely that the wind will catch me, that it will fill my wings, and never let me fall. The wind is strong, but its only as strong as the next eddy that helps it along. That has been the point I've been trying to make, the true nature of wind is trust, one must trust implicitly, or they will panic and fall. That is why no human can truly master the wind, because you can't master it, you can't chain it, you can't even manipulate it, it only lets you use it as much as it wishes. The wind has but one master and she is master to no one, the matron of the winds. That is why I think she let you meet me in the past, you are a daughter of the wind, a favored child of hers, and the only being who could train you as a child was her first and truly last mortal child." Then he smiled as he noticed her blush, and he too remembered the kiss. Back then, one of the reasons he had traveled was to find her, and why he gave up his mortality when he found out who she was.
 
Sky blinked shocked most people give up by now, she then sighed softly understand she did trust the wind more even everything it was the only thing she trusted, well but for him. "I understand lucky i trust the wing with my life, i also trust you not that i know how safe that can be mister, less go swimming in the frozen cold sea2 she said eyeing him coldly, but playfully that had been another one of her trips he had told her the water would be warm but in fact had been freezing he had been laughing until she pulled him in with her.
 
"The trust required isn't just in the wind, that's just its nature, you also need to trust in others as well. People whom you have never met, that was the point in showing you the last image, my trust in all others."

He laughed as he rememberd the incident, the matron had been so mad, but he noticed how she tried to hide the smile at them looking like two wet dogs. He also couldn't help but remember how she looked when she was wet, wild like the wind, and so beautiful. He wanted to hold her tightly and kiss her, but she was his student and he couldn't do that.
 
"trust is hard for me, everyone i every trusted left me even you but not that it was your doing i just seemed to stop dreaming. Round about the time my ex raped me for the first time, then you was gone and the world just seemed dead to me2 she said lightly. He had been the one ray of hope in her dark life, but then he had been gone in a flash.
 
"Sky, when he raped you was the first time you stopped trusting everyone, your skills with the wind started to get weaker at that point. When the wind transfers your mind, it's one of the greater powers of the wind, and when you lose the ability to trust absolutely it's the first ability you lose."
 
"then i dont think i wille ever get it back, i cna not trust willingly like you can there is just to much pain in doing so. You was lucky people who bretayed you came back and helped, ine just came back to torment me more i had no one, no one to help me but the vioces of the wind who could not do anything to stop them men hurting me" she said tears rolling down her face now.
 
"This I can do one of two things Sky, I can either use the wind and erace the memories, or I can use an ability not of the wind but of the water. I can trust, I can trust even through the greatest of emotional hurts, let me take the pain from you, give me your sorrow, your hurt, your suffuring, let me take it all. When you look at those memories, they will not hurt any longer."
 
Sky blinked and shock her head, "no if you take them then you will hurt, it is to much" she said lightly "it should of driven me insanes years ago but i am to stubean to let my mind go, plus if i did go insane they had fun run over all of me and that would just not do" she said and kissed his chin softly holding onto him.
 
He embraced her in a hug and kissed her deeply, pulling away he said "I can handle it, my power has only grown, my will has only grown, please let me take the pain."
 
Sky blinked alittie take aback by the kiss, it had felt so right she nodded softly give into him it would be nice to no longer have the pain, plus she could gp back to telling ehr story to kid with out worrying if one of them would hate her or betry her later when they was odler.
 
He held her tightly, squeezing her for reassurance, then a thin stream of water appeared around them. Growing and swirling, untill it enveloped them bothe, pouring into them, entering both. He held her tighter to try and reassure her, and then it happened, the water was purifying her, finding her pain, and taking it away from her, and going into him. The pain was enourmous, he felt like he would die from it, that he would go insane, but only for a moment, as he pushed it down, and then the water drifted away. He was back, it didn't consume him, and he still trusted everything. "Sky, only the wind can change the past, what was done, was done, and can not be undone. You can't go into the past to change it, for history has a habit of everything happening, but with different events occuring, it could end up worse for the bothe of us. Now please just relax, and stay here with me."
 
Sky would of replied but she find ehr self gone in the past, 2what the hell" she said softly frowning, she did not want to be here she wnated to go back to him now but it seemed she ahd something to see, sighing she moved around the stopped dead it was her as a small child, but who was that woman beside her holding and singing to her then she reambed ehr grannmother a kind soul who had been killed by muggers this day, something had alwasy told armolda it should never of happened even the wind had said it was wrong. Now she know why she was there seeing it, the killer was a winduser insnae but still a user, "please wind mat i save her now, may i save the one person in ym life who loved me fully from day one2 she asked softly she emant in ehr timeline the god did not coutn and near did the wind they was from different place, "may i" she asked again hoping they said yes before it was to late.
 
"Are you sure Little Wing, if you do this, you will suffer even more later on, you have gotten past this death, and managed to attain trust once again. Last Wing will not be able to save you again." Said a soft silky voice, the voice of the matron of the wind.
 
"My granmother was leaveing afther this to go on a great trip, the trip was death but in the ways of her people tgat detah would of taken her on to her hysband. this death is not how her people go, so i have felt her soul trapped unable to move on for it was not her time and was not gone in the right way. Iw amt her to have peace ad be with her husband but this time travler killed her for unknown reasons and stopped her from moving on, and i am sure i know him to but i cna not reamber i think he may of been one of my teacher wait yes yes he was he also seemed so smug about something when eh started teaching me like get did something great now i know what he killed my gran mother so i could not egt her power, that is what happens when she dies she moves on and gives her powwer which in this case is not that the power of story telling was a needed power, but it would of helepd builted my own" she said lightly.
