Re: Raska's Musings I could hear the leaves rustling through the trees around me and smell the scent of the forest. It was quiet again and a welcome relief to rest near a camp tucked away by the woods. It was so peaceful I could almost forget I was a stranger to this place. A being so different from those that called this place home. This was visible in the way people reacted to me, I am unsure if I will ever get used to it. I find myself met with startled stares, fear, or even curiosity. Still I have learned that even these beings that walk only on two legs are a varied as they are colorful. Beings know as 'humans’ as I learned, seem to be the most common. And it was 'humans’ I now know that brought me here. There is also other beings such as 'halflings’ and 'elves’, and though they are walk in the same manner they are shorter or skinnier than humans.
Recently I even met a 'brownie’, as first glimpse I wondered if it was some kind of grass runner. A rodent that has run through the grasses of my home. Once it stood still long enough I found it looked similar to the other beings but... but so small! The male I met, Richard, he was called seemed nervous. Flitting about like bird that could not stand still. He reminded me of the energetic cubs of my species. Always on the move. The female one I met was 'Annie’ and she seemed pleased to meet me. She gave me food and a flower. I think I like her, she reminds me of a sweet cheerful cub.
Later she began to tell me more of this language they all speak. Pointing out various things and speaking their name. I have managed to learn what more things are called, something good I bet. I will keep practicing and maybe they will understand me more. |
