I wasn't sure why I was here, standing before the ring of fire. Social gatherings weren't exactly my area of expertise, and if you had asked me to tag along I probably would have come up with some excuse at the last minute as to why I couldn't make it. Or at least, I would have in the past, but coming to Novus had been a time of rebirth. The pact between myself and my siblings, that I would leave to not only learn how to be a better medic rather than the primitive learnings of my viking like village, but that I would embrace the different cultures and grow closer with myself. Be something more than a gaurdian.
So I found myself, staring into the belly of the beast. Orange flames reflecting in the flame hued pools of my eyes, dancing like a nursing student trying to pay her way through schooling, as I listened to the giggles and flirtation of the couples huddled around the bonfires speckled across the meadows. It was painfully clear to me at that point that I was in fact, very alone. The only other creature I had actually taken the time to meet in these lands so far had been the silvery dragon mare, Sera. But as of yet I hadn't been able to pick her out in this mosh pit of bodies. My gaze pulled away from the flames momentarily to look out over the meadows, it seemed that there was at least someone here from every court imaginable. I wasn't overly surprised by this...if I had heard about the event then surely everyone in the lands had.
A sigh slipped from between inky lips as I turned away from the bonfire I was standing before, heavy limbs slowly pulling me away from the outskirts of the party to wander just ever so slightly. Nervous energy danced through my body as I stepped closer to the gathering, meeting new people wasn't exactly my strong suit. Small talk was a skill I was less than familiar with, when someone was dying it wasn't the little stuff they wanted to talk about. I had discussed family matters, last wishes, bucket list items that hadn't been completed, and sometimes even their proudest moments, with strangers who were in critical condition...but small talk with healthy and even slightly intoxicated beings was a whole other ball game.
