by Theseus12 6/29/2014, 1:38 amDrizzt walked in, and immediately was overwhelmed by the presence of death. Many funerals had been held here, though the traditional methods of Pyre. He looked at the earth where the pyres were usually burned. Properly assembled. Good. Drizzt gave a short nod, showing approval, and went over to the side of it. There was no memorial to the Fallen here. Drizzt thought about it, and decided that, while it would be incredibly exhausting, he could make a memorial. putting a hand in the inside pocket of his trenchcoat, he pulled out a small, black object, which grew into a full sized shovel, with a blade of Stygian iron. Raising the shovel into the air, the gray-skinned youth directed his power, and a hole formed, three feet wide, seven feet long, and 6 feet deep. He had just dug a grave with his willpower.

I walked through the pyre to get some quiet time to work on my research. I had brought it all with me. My phone so I could connect to the Internet and research, books about the soul, books about death, a few pens and pencils, and lots of paper. Where else to study souls then where they are buried or burned? As I walked around, I saw a boy with a Stygian iron shovel. What surprised her the most was when it dug a hole just by holding the shovel up. I hid behind a large rock to see what would happen next. Then I noticed his aura. It was a green and brown, swirling together. Antisocial and distrust of people.

Drizzt lowered his shovel as the Grave was dug. extending a hand towards the grave, palm up, he drew his hand back to him, and dirt started to fill in the hole, making a filled grave. Inside the grave, he took the soul's feelings of bitterness, he liked to believe, and burying their pain, letting them have a peaceful afterlife. Clenching his open hand into a fist, a slab of rock shot out of the ground, the letters RIP engraved in large letters that even the dyslexic could read. Lowering his hand to his side, Drizzt looked at the freshly created grave. "May the souls here find eternal rest in the afterlife," he said, his voice unplaceable, and dispassionate. "And may we not mourn them, for they have found a peace that we shall not find in this world." His shovel shrank to the size of a spoon, and he put it back in his pocket of his trenchcoat.

I got excited when I heard the boy say that the souls shall find eternal peace. In my excitement I accidentally stepped on a branch earning a loud Snap! Oh crap. This can't end well. Even if I could get away, I would want to come back here. Besides, maybe this boy was nice on the inside. But the auras don't lie...

Quick as thought, from reflexes trained from a long time on the road, the shovel was back out, in full size, and pointed in the direction of the noise. If he was under attack, now wasn't a good time. Exhaustion from his power was just kicking in... He sank to one knee, but still remained alert. "What goes there? Show yourself, and I may bury you after you are dead!" His purple eyes almost blazed fiercely, but tiredness was behind them as well. Anyone able to see would see he did not wish a fight, in spite of his bravado. With difficulty, he struggled to his feet, shovel still out. "I will not attack first," he breathed, "But if this unknown should attack, I will defend myself." In spite of his inner wish not to fight, this was equally true.

I come out from behind the rock and say, "I'm not going to fight you. I had come here to work on my research of the soul. Then I saw what you did with your shovel. And after you said that the souls may find peace, I got excited. And I stepped on a branch." At least he wasn't going to fight me...

relieved, Drizzt allowed himself to relax as he stumbled over to a bench. "Don't mind me... Digging graves like that is quick but really exhausting... So what are you researching here, of all places? Wouldn't a library serve you better?"

I say, "Well... I... Uh... I study the soul. And I do my research here because this is where the soul's are buried or burned before being sent to the underworld."

"Ah, the soul. I'm not too well versed on them, myself. I suppose my mother's domain is more for the actual departure than the spirits themselves. You know?" His shovel shrank back down to a spoon in size, and he slipped it in his pocket. "So. I'mma ask this once. Who are you?" This might have sounded nice, if the boy put any emotion into his voice, but like always. his voice remained unanimated. Unalive. Essentially, he spoke with a dead voice.

I say, "My name is Neisha Adams, daughter of Psyche. Who are you?"

It was about 7 minutes before he answered. He was debating whether or not to give his full name, his parentage.... Eventually, he decided on his first name. "Drizzt."

I say, "Alright, Drizzt, why are you here?"

Drizzt was silent for a good while, then, "I like to be around the dead. It give me a feeling of peace that being around the Living never has."

I say, "Oh... So I'm guessing you aren't very social." I mean, I knew that from his aura, but he didnt need to know that."

"what makes you think that? Anyone I've ever been around picks on me because I look like some kind of vampire. I've got the teeth, the eyes, even the corpse-like skin of the undead. All my life I have been a target of fear and persecution." With that, he actually looked at the girl, his eyes staring into hers. "Now tell me that I don't have a good reason not to trust people."

I say, "I would trust you. I don't care how the person looks or acts. As long as they aren't a jerk and don't hurt others without a good reason. And to be honest, you look cool with the grey skin and all."

Drizzt looked back at her. "And how do I know you aren' just saying that to make me feel better? You could be just trying to manipulate me, like one guy did with my sister...." He looked away, trailing off. "He payed for it. He's still alive, but he payed..."

I say, "Because I don't lie. Because my brother told me that lying leads to consequences. And I have already faced enough problems." I began thinking about Rob. How he always played with me and spent time with me. How he would always take me swimming. Then, the element I had always loved, took him away from me. I hope Rob had gone to Elysium. He cared for me, he took care of me. A tear went down my face as I thought about him.

While not the best with people, Drizzt was fairly empathic. As she stared to cry, he percieved it was about this brother of hers. "What happened to him?" His voice, while still flat, actually sounded somewhat caring.

I look up and say, "He drowned while we were at the beach." While his voice did carry some care, it wasnt full of it. But I can understand. Being feared your whole life would make you monotone and expressionless.

"Ah. I see." He remained silent. "Here is how I would look at it, if it was me," he said finally, after some time silent. "I would concentrate on thee good he did in his life. I would remember him in the best light I could. I would see his death as but another journey into another realm, where all things rejoice. It will still hurt to think about him for awhile, admittedly, but it will help in the long run."

I wipe the tears from my eyes and say, "Alright, thanks." Rob had done so many things. He took care of me. He protected me. He loved me. And he helped me through tough times. Then I remembered something he said to me when we were younger. He had said, "Neisha, I won't be here forever. And when I'm gone, I don't want you to cry over me and lose all hope and love in yourself. You are a smart, beautiful girl. Someone will always love you. So enjoy life while it lasts." I whispered, "I will Rob."

"Pardon?" Drizzt asked. He didn't catch that. Then it looked like either she was talking to herself, or to someone in her memories. "Never mind. Not my business. You keep that to yourself." He looked away, supressing a sigh as he remembered his stepdad, the only father he had ever known.
((Maybe add a swirl of deep blue to the aura, from sadness? Or maybe it was always there, and it just gets more prominent.))

Then I noticed a blue appear in his aura. Blue from sadness. I said, "Why are you sad?" I regretted it after I said it. He was going to question how I knew. And not much could be a good excuse for how I knew.

He frowned, though he still didn't turn towards her. "I have reasons... I don't feel like sharing them right now."
