Video

[Something rather strange has happened lately and now might just be your time to find out what. The video feed shows a very thoughtful Zuko whose stomach seems to be audibly growling. And yet, the young man seems somehow confused. Almost worried.

Anyone who is human (or a species that generates an appetite) will be able to tell that he's just hungry though. So why wasn't he going to find food?

And why did he speak so formally all of a sudden?]

As you can hear, my stomach appears to be producing some rather... strange noises. In the interest of my health, could someone please tell me why? Is this an illness?

Action

[Anyone who wants to meet this strange Zuko first-hand, either by choice or by accident, can find him at various places throughout the enclosure. Since Eley has missed the relaxed atmosphere and refined taste of the beverages served at the tea house this is one place you'll find him. He'll also be paying visits to the Willow Tree and Shrine and those who live in the Avatar house will probably find him sitting outside late at night, supposedly trying to stay awake...

And if you're lucky (or unlucky) you might find Eley messing around with the whole firebending thing. Unfortunately he doesn't have particularly great control of it and has now set fire to a small isolated bush. Cue panic as he tries to put the thing out!]

(OOC: So upon returning from the mission, Zuko was found dying by Eley and in order to save his life, the Wind Spirit has temporarily merged with Zuko! This means that he can take control at times and the two now communicate telepathically. Expect interjections from

lordhotman during threads in this post!)

[Voice]

[Eley has been thinking lately, and these thoughts have culminated into more questions. Not the usual questions about the hows and whys of humanity however, but something a little more specific... and personal.

It was not unknown to him that there was a likely chance he would forget everything that had happened in Luceti should he return home. There was another side to this though that had occurred to him as he stayed by his tree and mulled over the various trinkets people had offered him as gifts over the years.]

I wonder... although memories are fleeting here, is it also reasonable to assume that there is no way of taking the possessions you have gained here back to your own world? If it were possible, I wonder if I would be the only one enamoured with the chance to bring something important... useful, back home. What would you wish to take if given the opportunity? Presents? Things tied with memories? Or... something that may save the life of another? Luceti is a culmination of many worlds after all. The possibilities...

[His words trail off into silence.]

[Action]

[In contrast to his thoughtful reflections, Eley decides to take a trip to the beach later in the day. Anyone in the area will notice a large six-winged white dragon apparently digging in the sand and sweeping it into a pile with his tail. When he gets far enough in his little project, it seems he's just made a large mound for some reason, but there's a point to all of this! Only... now he seems to have gotten stuck. He sits down, staring at his hill of sand as he tries to work out what his next move should be...

...maybe you should go and see what the problem is?]

[Hello, Luceti. Today, Eley's decided to set up a little video for people to look at while he asks a few important questions. He appears to be sitting under his willow tree, as he so often is, but this time he isn't alone. And he's not joined by a fellow Lucetian either, at least not the kind of Lucetian you might expect.

Sitting in his lap is a rather resplendent and fluffy chicken who appears to be enjoying some pettings whilst turning her head to glance at the camera every so often.]

I am not sure how many would recall but sometime in the past I found myself under a shift whereby I would believe in daily messages known as 'horoscopes'. On the final day, I found myself with an irresistible urge to adopt a chicken, and with the help of a friend we found one.

...however, I do not know exactly what to do with it now. I usually allow it to roam as I would hate to rob it of its freedom yet... I grow concerned for it at the same time. I leave food for it here and it often comes back for it, yet I know little about chickens or their care, or indeed their proper diet.

I am also unsure about its gender, nor do I know what name it should go by. If anyone could help me in that regard, I would be grateful.

[He seems to be about to turn off the feed but then changes his mind.]

I have one more question. I recall that my explanation of how I care for my people could be likened to that of a parent and child. Then I must ask, what is it like to have a mother? To be a mother? Or even a father for that matter?

[Eley had been doing a lot of thinking lately, particularly in regard to how he should best react to conflict and dangerous situations. After much self-reflection, the Spirit had finally decided to turn to the rest of Luceti to aid him in his new desire to grow stronger in his human form, as well as to protect those he felt were important to him.

So he opens the journal, and begins to speak.]

Those who know me will also know that I have a distaste for violence. However, following recent events and the changes taking part both in the community and within myself... I have decided to open myself to the idea of combat.

What I am seeking is not to kill, but to disarm. To be able to protect both myself and others without going too far. Surely there are people here who hold knowledge of techniques in self-defense? If there is a weapon which can be used to stop an opponent without doing too much damage... I will consider it as well. Magic may also not be out of the question, though I cannot say whether or not I will be able to successfully use it.

Help me, Luceti, to not only protect myself but my friends too.

[There's a pause before he adds.]

Ah and... Kohaku. If you see this then I wish to apologise for any unusual behaviour I may have exhibited recently. If you would like the wish you gave me returned to you then I will gladly do so.

[Whoever's watching the feed right now can probably tell that something's not quite right. Not only does Eley look blackened and sore as if he had been scorched somehow, but the tree behind him also looks as though it has met a similar fate, with shattered branches and charred bark.

And in his hands, he's holding some remnant of what might have been a scarf at one time, though right now it looks like nothing more than a rag.]

Why would anyone do this? How could they... enjoy such a thing?

[He sounds tired, disappointed, though that quickly turns to bitter anger.]

Edmundo the Blade has made an enemy of me. He has shown nothing but disrespect. I should not have let him get this far. If only I was not so complacent, so tied to the path of peace, this would not have happened. My tree...

[Yes, he's more concerned about the tree than he is about himself right now.]

If anyone knows a way to repair the damage, I would be grateful to you.

[Video]

[As the feed begins, it's probably not difficult to tell that Eley is in another of his thoughtful moods, and is likely about to pose a question to the Lucetians once again. For even though the Spirit had learned of the concept of 'fun', there was still something that seemed to run alongside this that he hadn't quite found an understanding for. One might call it a sense of humour.]

What exactly does it mean to tell a 'joke'? And how can you tell the difference between one that is good and one that is bad?

[Action]

[Another Christmas had passed, embarrassing moments exchanged but also good, positive moments as well. Though Eley did not usually have much of a sense of time, other than the seasons coming and going, these human holidays always seemed to make the time pass much faster for him, he was finding.

That didn't mean that he wanted time to pass that quickly, however, and now Eley was trying to find a moment to sit and relax. This time, he found himself in the forest, wondering how much of it might have changed since he'd arrived after all the fighting and experiments... Saleh had shown him how to build a bonfire and despite his instinctive wariness of the fire, there had been something strangely relaxing about staring into the gently flickering flames. He didn't have Saleh's magic to make the fire with, but he could at least practice the construction. So anyone who's passing through might find him searching for large stones and tinder, or wander past a half-constructed stone circle that the Spirit had left nearby.]

[So you probably didn't notice that Eley was gone from Luceti for a brief time, but you might notice that there's something strange flitting around the enclosure right now. It appears to be nothing more than a glowing orb of light, but it's donning the Filial wings of a Lucetian, in white and gold. When it speaks, it speaks into your mind, but the voice probably doesn't seem all that familiar - it's rather more... small and weak in tone.

Whatever this strange thing is, it doesn't appear to be dangerous. You'll find it hovering around all over the enclosure, from the village to the forest and possibly even beyond. Sometimes it'll seem to take a liking to someone and drift around their head for a while and when it gets tired, you'll find it perched on a branch or other small outcrop.

Maybe you should investigate? After all it appears to be harmless and it is rather pretty~]

(OOC: SO BASICALLY Eley underwent a Mallynap, albeit a short one since I decided not to go the full hiatus route in the end, oops. But he's now been robbed of his human body and is showing himself as the 'essence' of the Spirit he really is (plus wings of course). He'll be flitting around a lot like Navi from Zelda, so have fun~ And sorry for the failicon >>)

[Eley wasn't happy.

Not only had he been subjected to an experiment that had forced him to relive an experience he was trying to forget, the recent post from the Malnosso had riled him up even more. So they did it then... they used that weapon. And all he did was sit back and let them.

The Spirit was finding that he was being pushed more and more to his limits lately. That yes, perhaps he was becoming more emotionally invested in things than he should. The truth was, he was sick of being trapped in this bubble with no way out and of being stuck in a world he barely understood. He couldn't go after them... he couldn't do anything. Even if he did somehow break free, he had no idea what he would do or what it would accomplish.

Eley was angry and frustrated and seemed to be losing grip on his emotions again even after returning to his otherwise normal state here. Of course, throwing his journal in his frustration had only caused a feed to record without his knowledge as it smacked against a rock. There isn't much to see, just a lot of dusty rocks at a slanted angle and a blue patch of sky. You can probably tell it's in the mountains at least.

...but it's what can be heard that's likely more worrying. There's a large crashing sound followed by the incessant tumbling of several small fragments of rock clattering to the ground. The image of the feed becomes obscured by dust, and then everything falls silent.]

For all of those who may have been concerned, I have returned from the previous mission.

I am well, though I would like to give thanks to those who helped to take care of me during that time. It seems I was not prepared for the strain such extreme conditions would put on this new body of mine. I may not require sustenance in the form of food and water in the safety of the enclosure, but a scorching desert is far more damaging while I am trapped in this form. Next time, I will be more careful.

[Assuming there was a next time... He hoped he wouldn't have to get involved too often, but currently he had more than one reason to push himself.

He pauses, before continuing.]

While I am here, there is... something else I wish to discuss. I am in need of someone with a knowledge of curses. If you are willing, I would be especially grateful to hear from anyone who has suffered from such a thing and been cured of it. If not, any experiences with a curse may be of interest to me. Thank you.

[For anyone who wants to meet/check-in on Eley in person, he will most likely be resting by his tree near Cherry Blossom Tree Hill since... well even though he might not have been involved with the investigations first-hand on the mission, he's still pretty worn out. Later in the day you might find him going for a wander along the river and further into the forest.]

[For those who pass by Eley today as he wanders through the village, they might notice there's something a bit... off about him. Perhaps it won't become readily apparent until they speak with him, but there's an almost hopeless look in his eyes and he seems almost reluctant to make any move to do anything himself. He might stop in front of a shop as if wondering if he should go inside... only to change his mind. Others also might see him watching them doing whatever they're doing, a look that tells them 'no, don't do that'. It's unnerving to say the least. Maybe someone should find out what's going on with him!

At some point he ends up sitting by his recently planted tree up on the Cherry Blossom Hill. It's here he makes a short and rather strange recording.]

[Voice]

I am beginning to wonder why I keep trying. Trying to mend things that are broken, trying to fit in where I do not belong, trying to express feelings I do not understand... and every time I regret how helpless and fruitless I am.

I cannot save anyone... I could not save those who came before.

I should give up. And so should all of you. After all, you cannot regret a decision you never made.

(OOC: So it's time for Eley to be suffering under the effects of the Heart Shard of Regret! Feel free to talk to him about his odd mood or find him under the tree/wandering the village~)

[Eley seems to be sitting near the site of his recently planted tree by the river today. With the journal held in front of him and perched on his lap, you can catch glimpses of the grassy bank behind him and perhaps a flash of colour from the hill in the distance. The sound of flowing water can also be heard from the nearby river.

The Spirit himself seems rather thoughtful again.]

As a deity in my world I am not unfamiliar with the idea that humans are always desiring one thing or another. People are always wishing, always hoping, and they often turn to me for a way to achieve that which they most want. They vary greatly... from a general desire for peace and health to something more specific, such as finding a partner or acquiring an item they have been wanting for some time. I have also experienced terrible greed firsthand... a greed that has severed good ties between nations and even threatened to destroy one in the process.

In the past I would not share these desires, but since I have steadily grown to feel more human since my stay here I am beginning to wonder what it is that I truly want... and what I might do to gain it.

Is there really any point to holding onto futile dreams? Longing for something that you are certain you cannot have? When does it become necessary to hold onto such a hope and when does it become a problem?

And I must ask... what is it that you desire most? More importantly, what would you do to attain it?

[It's one of those days when Eley feels like heading into the village and perusing the shops to see if he can find anything interesting. Today, he's lucky! Or so he feels anyway, for sitting on a shelf in a brightly coloured orange bottle is some substance labelled only as 'Magic Bubbles'.

Eley had become rather interested in the concept of magic from other worlds since his stay in Luceti, so naturally he found himself wondering what kind of magic could be contained in this bottle. Obviously something to do with bubbles... was it water based then? How did it work? What exactly did it do? The Spirit had to find out for himself, so he wasted no time in taking a bottle and heading outside with it.

He'll be spending the rest of the day doing the following:

First he'll end up sitting by the fountain in the plaza and unscrewing the cap to the bottle to find a strange wand attached to it... It'll take him a while to figure out exactly what the point of it is and you'll likely find him trying to look through the hole at the end or holding it up to the light to inspect the rainbow sheen of the soapy film across the gap.

Eventually he'll try waving the wand (perhaps it's like a tiny scepter?) and thus produce a stream of small bubbles. Ah, so this wand creates bubbles? Interesting! He'll try waving it some more in long sweeping motions... until it runs out.

Not realising the stuff in the bottle is what's responsible for creating the bubbles in the first place, you might find him wandering around the village shaking the wand with varying degrees of ferocity out of frustration that his new toy isn't working anymore.

Later on, he'll have finally figured it out, so you'll likely see some stray bubbles floating around and perhaps a rather easily amused Spirit trying to make new amusing shapes out of the bubbles, or trying to make a huge one... or maybe just trying to make as many as he can by trying to master how to use the wind against the wand in the most effective way possible.

Feel free to play with him! or help him out!]

April 14th

[Action]

[Eley really didn't want to be here but he knew that it was for the best. Having succumbed to Ganondorf's powers and finding himself under his control, the Spirit had assumed his dragon form and gone on a rampage. Only after being shot down by his friends, slowly overwhelmed by magic, did he find himself unable to continue. He had returned to his human form as soon as he lost consciousness and woken up in the clinic, in pain and waking from dark nightmares of his previous endeavours.

It had passed and Eley knew he would heal, but he also felt guilty for attacking his friends and he found himself afraid that something like that might happen again in future. Still he was thankful for their help and did not blame them for what they did to him.

In truth, all the Spirit wanted to do was thank them and leave this place as soon as he could.]

April 19th

[Voice]

[His voice is obviously tired, but he decides now is the time to speak out nonetheless.]

Tell me, what has become of the fiend who attacked Luceti? Is it... safe to go outside again?

(OOC: Eley after the Ganon plot! Feel free to visit him at the clinic or just chat with him.)

[Video]

[It's late afternoon and Eley appears to be sitting outside somewhere on an incline just outside the village, with a full view of the sky. It's at this time that he decides to address his journal. It's been a while and a lot has happened recently that he feels he should mention...]

I would like to say a general 'welcome back' to those who have returned from the draft. To those who were injured... I hope for a swift recovery. To those who lost friends and loved ones, I hope that they will find you well when they return. They will need your aid again.

[He pauses a moment, shifting tone slightly to something more serious, slightly sad.]

While I understand the necessity of this conflict, the threat of violence still makes me uneasy. I... must ask, is war something that is common across all worlds? Have you too seen great battles and the destruction they can cause? I would like to hear your stories, if they are not too painful for you to share. I would especially like to know if you believe it possible to live in a world free from conflict.

[Action]

[Eley won't be moving much from his spot today. He's in a thoughtful, almost melancholy kind of mood and finds himself watching the sky as it succumbs to darkness, the stars his only company. At least unless someone finds him sitting out here at night on their travels.

Or hears him. Because sometime during the night he'll start playing on the harmonica Rudy gave him. He's been trying to practice as best he can and while he can at least make a sound on the thing, he hasn't quite managed to string together a melody. You won't hear a particularly beautiful song then, just a series of notes that seem to be played to fit his mood. Whether or not you find it annoying or endearing is entirely up to you!]

[There's an awkward silence at first as if the speaker is finding this rather difficult to say... or doesn't know quite what to say in the first place. But though hesitant, his voice soon comes.]

I... would like to apologise for any embarrassment caused during the recent holiday. This was my first experience with such an event and... I was not prepared for what might happen.

[Another pause.]

That is not the only reason I have chosen to speak today however. There are two other matters I would like to address.

Firstly, I have learned more about what humans call 'birthdays' over the past few weeks. Is this celebrated by all humans? Perhaps even non-humans? Why celebrate another year passing when it only means you are being brought closer to death? Why is this such a... joyous occasion?

Secondly, I have found myself growing idle in Luceti and have realised that the time has come for me to offer some assistance to those living within the enclosure. I may not be able to fulfill my original purpose here, but... I need to make myself useful. If I do not then I may not stay here for much longer. Unless of course, this body will keep me trapped. It would be an empty and meaningless existence.

I cannot offer much in the way of strength but I would be willing to learn new skills, within reason. If my power to manipulate wind would be of any use to you then that is something I can do as well. If anyone has any suggestions... I would like to hear from you.

[If your character is lucky, they might spot a new creature in the skies for a few days. It seems that while Eleytheria has been staying in the mountains, he has discovered that he can in fact change his shape. However, his shape-shifting ability is not as free as he would have liked. Even so, he is glad to be able to use a more familiar body.

You'll find a gold and white dragon, serpent-like and graceful, circling over the village and the forest and leaving a breeze in his wake. While ordinarily this dragon would possess four small feathered wings, in Luceti he now has an extra pair - the pair that render him vulnerable. While he might be large and perhaps intimidating to some, Eley possesses no altered powers in this form and is purely enjoying an aesthetic difference. It brings him closer to his spiritual origins and reminds him of home... He had spent so long as a human now, perhaps this was what he needed. A chance to find a little freedom even if in this enclosure it didn't seem like much.

The dragon will be resting in various spots around the forest and mountains and just outside the village too, giving the people of Luceti a chance to approach if they wish.]

(OOC: Eley dragon will be here for a few days~ He won't be doing anything in particular since, save from flying, his powers are the same as usual, but if you want your character to go poke him then go for it! Also I have a WIP reference here. Sorry, no icons, you'll have to use your imagination. ): )

[Wherever Eley happens to be right now, it seems pretty windy. Whether it's because of his influence or just the natural way of the weather, you can't really be sure, but thankfully his voice carries loud enough not to be hindered by the wind.

Only... his tone might sound a little less curious than you're used to. Somewhat distant. Perhaps even a tiny bit sad?]

As I have recovered enough from my illness to venture out with no ill effects, and since the weather has improved, I have decided to take the opportunity to seek shelter in the mountains. While I would still prefer to refrain from keeping myself in confined spaces for too long, I am hoping I will be able to make use of any shelter I find in future to prevent myself from falling sick again.

I would like to take a moment to thank the people here for teaching me your ways and helping me to take better care of myself. It has been an... interesting experience.

However, I also must announce that I will be staying in these mountains for quite some time. I would... like to ask you not to seek me out.

[So with all the cold and snow that's been blowing around Luceti lately, Eley's finding that his human body isn't quite as strong as he thought it would be. Living a nomadic existence, he's been wandering the forest and the village, staying out in the cold for days (and nights) at a time, but now it seems to be taking its toll...

Anyone passing by the outskirts of the village might find the Spirit just sitting in the snow, all bundled up in all the winter clothes he'd been given for Christmas, shivering and sneezing and looking rather sorry for himself. Anyone with the power to will sense that he's pretty sick. He seems to have no energy to move and is trying to conserve it by staying in one place.

If he doesn't want the sickness to get worse though, he'd better muster up the energy to go and find some shelter somewhere!]
