Azlua stretched her arms out as she looked up to the sky green blobs covering a brilliant blue with an aura of light around it all. She took in a deep breath closing her eyes as she listened to the leaves russel against each other. She imagined an individual leave fluttering in the wind, then another and another forming into a branch, just the way she remembered them. Light seeping through them. She reached up bit further to the branches above her gently feeling along the wood grain imagining all the grooves the twigs of the branches that spread into the limbs that held the leaves.

She brushed her finger across a leaf tracing its shape before gently touching her thumb to its underside and dragged it outwards gently touching a fuzzy surface. She parted her eyes seeing a white blob and smiled softly to it slowly letting go of the leaf that the caterpillar was snacking on. She hoped they knew she meant not to disturb. She bowed her head to it to thank it for allowing her to enjoy its leaf as well. She touched her hand to the trunk of the tree she sat against feeling up towards a different branch and gripped onto it with both her hands pulling herself up. She slid her legs under her letting the toes of her boots touch the ground as her knees buckled in. She wasn’t really standing but in her head, she could pretend she was.

She smiling brightly feeling the breeze waft the soothing wild’s scent to her nose, it being much stronger up higher. Simply stunning. She slowly lowered herself back down her legs bending under her body weight laying on their sides in front of her. She shifted her body and started to crawl using the path she knew by heart now and one that always had matted down from her body dragging across it everyday. She kept dragging her lower half behind her until she reached her garden hearing scraping feet. She smiling happily looking about seeing brown blobs dart off into some bushes. She quietly giggled tending to the plants and gently plucked the partly eaten veggies and set them in her lap.

She used her legs to carry the food as she slowly backed up to the bushes and picked up the veggies gently setting them down. Soon enough the blobs slowly emerged nibbling on the veggies. She gently pet them, being slow and steady to not make them too anxious knowing these long eared creatures were normally hunted by bigger animals and were likely both too ready to be touched too quickly. She slowly slid herself back to the garden collecting more veggies and plans carefully opening up the ones she could to get their seeds putting them back in the ground gently burrying them with her hands. She then dragged herself over towards the nearby river and began to wash the veggies.

When she was finished she went to a nearby tree to lean up against it and gently bit into the veggies with a quiet hum closing her eyes. Nie and ripe.” She smiled warmly, grabbing another and bit into it, blushing a bit at the off clavor and firmness. She pulled it away from her mouth touching her finger tips to her lips letting out a quiet giggle. That one was not so ripe yet. She gently set it to the side, the forest creatures would beagle to enjoy that far more. She sat there enjoying her lunch leaving the veggies that were not ripe enough to the side for the forest creatures. This was a certainly pleasant afternoon. Her head perked up hearing neighs off in the distance and smirked.

Azula smiled constantly as the black blob that was her summon faded and her imaginary friend Ziggy became clear in her eyes. She gently caressed his face as he walked over buttign her cheek with his forehead. He then trotted off, smiling warmly as she looked from where he trotted off to the man she had him pin to a tree still out cold. She would have to return to him later for studying. She dragged herself over towards his carriage following the sound of the neighing horses that were finally calming down from the attack.

Her hand gently touched the red pools from the bodies that laid lifeless on the ground. It was so warm. She gently moved her dam fingers to one of their hands gently holding it taking note of how cold they were. It was odd to her just throwing warm blood kept the human body. She smiled softly to them, a local set of hunters from what she heard them speak of, and the cartilage in his hands. She knew by now the feeling in them. Her hands and bottoms were covered in cartilage at this point as well but in different areas and ways. She slowly took off the back on him and carefully shuffled through it not wanting to accidentally pierce herself on only hidden blades inside.  She felt the cloth clothing inside and pulled it out.

She could imagine how rugged the outfit must look based on what she could remember what her father's clothes looked like when it came to his battle clothes.  She smiled at the fond memory putting them back, they would be good for wraps for injuries or toys for the local forest creatures that tended to be more routy. Given the clothes this group likely expected to stay in the forest for quite awhile… or at least this hunter did.She dragged herself to where the horses were connected and took out the large metal pins that kept their binds in place so they could roam free as they pleased. There was no need to keep them all bound up. She then kept pulling herself along the ground to another man grabbing his back and searching through it. She paused, sniffing the back smiling brightly. Rations and other food goodies.

Perfect. Fruits and vegetables all the time weren't bad but she always felt more energized after hitting some spare meat from travelers bags, or other assorted treats. She gasped as she smelt one uncovering its wrapper more and licked it. It was what she thought it was! Chocolate! The world and fate itself must have bestowed upon her this gift to tell her she was on the right post to her studies! She started to eat  the chocolate as she pulled out a diamond like gem rukh fluttering more around as she held it up. No doubt this was important if the rukh liked it so much. She put it back in the bag for safe keeping along with the blades of the hunter. She could always see the rukh just a little better than everything else. Not perfectly but much easier. She loved the Rukh for such reasons.

She chopped down on more chocolate as she sat on the ground blood pooling further around her from the bodies of the hunters. The scent of iron fluttered across her nose with the breeze and made her smile. It was the smell of a job well done, of that that promised learning would soon come. That she was yet another step closer to her fate she knew she was distended to achieve. Speaking of which…. There was a man patiently waiting for her arrival to teach her something new.

It was pretty impressive how long this man could scream and shout about how fair and unfair things were. What was right and wrong, good and just. Was he not coming to the forest with the rest of his hunting party to kill,cut open and eat those who lived in the forest, the animals that dwelled inside? Slice them up and sell their parts for money and self gain? He told her that her actions were evil in intent for wishing to slice up his parts and use them for self gain was simply unfair, rude even. She had to admit if she was in his position she would be scared so maybe this was how he expressed fear. Everyone was different after all, not everyone can see the hopeless nature of something and try another route to reach your goal like she could.

The man painted demanding her to speak back to him as if anything she could say would satisfy him in any way, that it could sooth his fears, bring hope back into his soul that he could talk his way out of his situation… but his hands had already been pinned to the tree behind his back by knives, his legs tied by rope to nearby trees lessening their ability to flail about. She could see the pits in his skull that were his eyes slowly becoming lighter in color in her blobby blurred vision, his eyes likely widening in fear in his silence as he saw her hand lift and gently caress his tear stained cheeks.

His hope that her hand was there to sooth him in the slightest faded as he saw her lifting up a thick branch chopped into a shorter hunk of wood with teeth marks in it. The realization of the hand being placed there to thank him not sooth him came with her cheery half open mouthed smile and the insertion of the wood into his mouth as he went to open his mouth to speak. She slowly reached down feeling for a dagger she had gotten from one of his fellow hunters and taped the end of the branch before biting the air. She gave him a thumbs up to tell him the branch was there to bite into before cutting away his pants leg through a feeling  where it was nicking his leg a few times making his leg twitch and he himself gasped in fear.

She then felt up along his upper thigh near his hip, she needed to see how damaged the leg had to get to be too weak to hold proper weight to better understand her own. She couldn't read books on such manners due to her vision and not remember any of the basic lessons she had as a child about how to read so this was her best chance at learning.  But it was alright, people sometimes had to hurt others in order to better themselves. It was the last lesson her mother taught her and she understood and forgave that. She had been a terrible burden on her and her father. She just hoped the daughter or son her mother would have had after her was just as perfect as her mother had wanted her to be. And everything Azlua failed to be.

Much later she was washing her dagger with a rag, last time when she did so without one she had cut her hand several times and she didn’t want that again. She gently brought it up to her nose and sniffed, it still had the smell of blood on it but not as clear as before, this meant the blood was cleaned off as much as it could for now, the scent merely being stained onto the blade at this point. She lowered the blade as she heard growing and tearing flesh. She shifted her legs a bit closer to her body, looking over to the tree where she had left the hunter. His heart having given out before she could even begin to finish her studying.

She would have to find a better method to her studying, this way her projects wouldn't bleed out or their hearts would give out from all the stress. She though for now saw gray blobs shifting around the man's body as a deep red color flooded the color blob of the man. She smiled softly seeing a much larger grey blob walking over and stopping as it looked to her. It was the old wolf and his pups, they had grown used to her precedence long ago she had been here before the old wolf was born after all, she likely arrived by the time the pups that would grow to be his parents were born. She always protected them the best she could when she could, and let the pups and wolves eat all her left over failed learning projects. Thanks to them it made burying their leftovers far easier since sometimes they would even eat some of the bones.

Bones were far easier to maneuver around. She held  up a hand to the old wolf to say hello and he walked over to her sitting down next to her, his warmth making her smile brighten more as she leaned on him a bit resting her head on his side as the two watched the pups eat. She didn’t learn much but  she did learn she may want a way  to limit blood loss in the bodies of others so she could work the limbs slower without risk of them bleeding out and lower risk of their hearts giving out from stress. And that was all the learning she could ask for. She mentally thanked the man for his gift of knowledge he provided her, and the gift of food he provided the young pups. He truly did turn out to be a very kind and good man.
