(Dragongem is it okay if Astoria sneaks in?)
(Lightsagafox I pinged you because I figured if Astoria sneaks in they would be able to meet up.)

(Yess....Sneak in are welcome)

(OKay, see you at the ball then :D)

Asha smiled sadly. No, no one would invite a pirate, dear. This is the life I have been given, I have to face its consequences. she said.

~Huri, The Firebird~

"Then why n-not change it? I-its your life, you decided what to do with it. _{Not others.....}" Huri said as his face became red from saying what he just had said.

That is not mine to choose! she hissed. She stumbled away from the table. S-sorry... she mumbled. She ran out of the cafe.

~Huri, The Firebird~

"So-orry!" Huri whimpers as he ran out of the cafe. Why was she running? He followed her suit. Taking off after her in his true form. A firebird. Hovering over the cafe for a while, trying to spot her.

Asha tripped over a rock. Oof. Th-that hurt... She whimpered. She sat up and looked over the scrape on her knee. She shut her eyes and began crying. She stood up again and looked around, tears still streaming down her cheeks.

~Huri, The Firebird~

Huri spotted Asha, swooping down next to her. He edges closer to her scrape, his feather ruffle as he moves. Feathers of the color of flames, the bird lays his head on Asha's scrape as thick, pearly tears were trickling down the bird's glossy feathers to the scrape.

The bird was crying,sitting there as it shudder. Remembering his endless hollow lives. When he was just an young bird as people flocked to him, trying to take him away, or cage him for his beauty. It was the memory that caused him to cry.

So many lives he had, one where he was hatched as an egg, raised and treaty kindly as happiness from the love of his loved ones. This cycle of happiness would happen endlessly, each one filled his life, but then destroyed as death loomed over. Years would pass as his owners age, each on finding there end before his. Being an observer as death takes his loved ones.

Before fleeing away to a forest, staying there for decades. He hid in that forest, watching settlements form and flourish as the earth changes from storms, floods, and fires. Standing all alone, until being discovered by the masses. accepting him and not hunting for him.

He knows hardisp better than everyone else. He was the Firebird. (....... A bit to much? Unclear? BTW A Firebird is a Phoenix, so healing tears)

Asha looked at the bird and pulled him into a hug. She too began crying. She gently kissed his beak. Im so so sorry. she mumbled. She let him free from her hug and stood up. Her eyes were still wet with tears. I best return to my ship. My men will wonder where I am. she said. She turned away and looked towards the docks.
