A trail of small trollish footprints accompanied by a pair of gouges zig-zagged through the Winterspring snow. Rizin wearily walked from tree to tree, pausing at each to recoup just a little strength before picking up her axes and continuing on. Her arms, her hands, her whole body ached from the practice Jayoba had prescribed her when she asked him for help and training. She had spent the last two days swinging her axes at a tree to build her strength. Today she didn't stop until she couldn't lift her axes to swing.
Pausing under one tree, Rizin slumped against it and pulled off her gloves, laying her blistered and bloodied hands in the snow. She winced, but thought to herself that this training was good for her. she needed it to grow stronger and become of use to her new clan and the Horde. She also had to make it back to Devi's little spot of land to rest, she was so tired... Lightly, The small troll's head slumped forward and she fell face first into the snow, sound asleep.
Jawaa had been out with Zil'jin training her new young worg companion, and collecting E'kos from the Shardtooths and Winterfall in the area. Zil'jin was progressing nicely, Jawaa thought. Soon she would be able to take the splint off her front leg. Jawaa smiled, thinking back to how she and the little worg pup had met. Hopefully Devi would be at his house when Jawaa got there, as he had not met Zil'jin yet.
Zil'jin whimpered, breaking Jawaa's thoughts. Zil was lightly nudging a small mound of mail in the snow at the base of a tree nearby. Kneeling, Jawaa lightly patted the small troll, which groaned lightly, but didn't stir beyond that. Jawaa rolled Rizin over and listened as Zil'jin wordlessly told Jawaa about her hands, which she started bandaging.
"Now... how's ah gonna get chu home... i's na' safe ta leave chu aroun' heah... dem Wintafalls can smell cha blood..." Jawaa spoke quietly as she wrapped Rizin's hands, even though she knew the little troll girl likely didn't hear a word for the sleep she was in. Jawaa smiled slightly and looked towards Zil'jin, who tilted her head inquisitively, one ear flopping over her head. "Ah gots an ideah."
Zil'jin lead the charge, loaded down with most of Rizin's bags and some of Jawaa's. Following her, Jawaa stumbled along, Rizin hanging off her back, a thick blanket covering the small troll's body. After a while the trio made it to Devi's set of houses in Winterspring. Jawaa laid Rizin down in the guest house, wrapping her up tightly in the blanket, before unloading Zil'jin on their packs. She decided to sleep leaning against the doorway. Zil'jin followed suit.
Too bad Devi isn't here... He might know who she is, since she seemed to be headed here. Jawaa thought to herself before nodding off.

Deviance lead a very tired and fat blue raptor over the horizen to his house.. he pushed a large round tree house thing... he had not quite figured that jawaa would be comfortable but she had mentioned it... hours had passed and chubby was complaining more and more of the weight as they rolled it across the winterspring
"It beh ok, we make jus ah nomal huts fer abikus.. not dis fancy stuffs.. but we gotta make mores homes fer dem littuns commin ins." the raptor looked at him with almost angry eyes and coninuted to pull the hut into the devi den. He patted the raptor and removed the harness and pushed the trunk up.. at least tried, his feet slipped as he tried to push the tree upright and he forgot he wasnt as strong as he once was.
Deviance grinned as he watched cluck hop in the snow in her little coup.. soon it would be big enough for 100 chickens!
cluck .. clucked

Jawaa stirred in the snow. What was that noise? She took a slow breath and listened quietly, taking in everything around her. She quieted her mind, trying to sence the presences around her. The little girl was still in the guest hut, and Zil'jin was asleep on her back next to Jawaa. And a little ways away she felt...
Jawaa smiled and sat up, brushing snow from her face. Devi was near! Jawaa stood and started walking towards where she felt Deviance.

~he pushed hard and then took a breath.. as his back bent.. his hands were on the tree trunk and his feet were dug into the snow... he glared at chubby as the fat raptor grinned at him as the poor troll was stuck in such a awkaward postion.
Cluck with mild intrested continued pecking at the ground and clucked.

"Devi mon!" Jawaa smiled walking up to Deviance and his "escorts." She stopped short, and tilted her head, listening to the wind describe the scene around her. She glanced at Chubby, then back at Deviance, and grinned. "He's laffin' at chu..." She leaned against the log. "Why din' chu wait fo' meh? Ah said ah'd help chu move it..."
Jawaa leaned down and picked up the harness, and reached into her pack for Tapp's whistle.

((Yay, a post! ^.^ ))
Jawaa suppressed a giggle and tossedthe harness around Tapp, tightening the straps surprisingly quickly for not seeing what she was doing.
"Chu shoulda' wake meh up if chu need help. Chu know ah don' mind"
With that, Jawaa patted her blue raptor's side and quietly whispered to him, though it sounded more like a raptor's growl. Tapp took a few steps forward, tightening the straps, then leaned forward, setting the log in motion towards Devi's Den. Jawaa grined and turned towards Devi and his raptor.
"Le's go! Ah found a few tings dat chu should meet!"

Tapp dragged the log to the camp with relative ease. Cresting a hill Devi's Den was in sight. A few more stepa, and Jawaa patted his side, signalling him to stop. She took the harness of the raptor and grinned at him. "Go 'head an' play in de hotsprings. Ah know chu don' like de cold so much."
Still smiling, Jawaa turned to Devi. "Ah move it aroun' lateh... get Griz ta help meh move it nex' ta de flowahs an' herbs. But fo' now... Ah find a li'l girl asleep unda a tree... ah wonda if chu know who she is?" Jawaa pointed at the guest hut, with a small black worg lying on her back sleeping in front of the doorway. "Oh yeh... de puppeh is Zil'jin. she ma newes' animal friend!"

Rizin yawned and quickly sat up. Where was she? The lst thing she remembered was burying her hands in the snow...
Rizin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She looked around, realizing she was in Deviances guest hut. She was wrapped up in a very thick blanket, and her hands were bandaged. Rizin slowly stood, her entire body sore, both from her training, but also for the fact that mail armor wasn't the most comfortable thing to sleep in. Lightly rubbing her shoulder, she walked out of the hut, having heard devi's voice outside. No sooner had she stepped out the door when she tripped over a rather large black worg and fell face first into the snow!

Jawaa tilted her head as Rizin tumbled over Zil'jin, who didn't seem to mind, only looking uo to see what happened, then dropping her head back into the snow, with her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth.
Jawaa kneeled down, bringing her own face down to Rizin's level. "'Eya dere li'l one... i's nice ta meet chu. Chu a li'l young ta be up heah alone, isn' chu?"
Rizin stared at Jawaa a moment, then shifted her gaze to the sleeping worg in the snow, then back at Jawaa. Without thinking about it, she tried to shrink into Devi's robes, but still stared at Jawaa, taking note of her blindfold. "Chu is blind?"
Jawaa offered Rizin a friendly smile. "Yeh.. ah can' se notin' wit ma eyes... but don' worreh, ah won' hurt chu... jus' ask Devi?"

Jawaa sat away from Devi and Rizin. Devi had mentioned some time before that Rizin was a shy little girl, but Jawaa hadn't expected the sense of unease from her. As uncomfortable as Rizin seemed around Jawaa, She was hanging off Devi as if he was her father. Jawaa shrugged. She wanted to get to know this little girl, but on Rizin's terms.
Rizin clung to devi's robes, keeping a wary eye on Jawaa. This tall blind troll looked harmless enough... but Devi had said she was strong... and she could see the spirits... what if Jawaa could see her spirit? Rizin shook her head as Devi whispered to her to just sit and talk to Jawaa... again. Rizin looked over at Jawaa, who smiled back at her. She seemed nice enough though...
