Auroras [Taboo]

[Deleted]

Auroras held her head high, her blue eyes drifting off into the overcast sky as if nothing stood in her way as she strolled along the the overgrown pass. She was slightly nervous and excited all at once to find Taboo, to see if she was worthy of any powers. I wasn't even sure if I was ready, but it was something I was looking forward to. Foliage and tall, lush trees full of life surrounded me with some sweet scents filling my nostrils, something I enjoyed. As I strolle dfurther from the forest the sweet scents started to pass my nerves kicked in, what was I going to say? I would have to at least show my respect. My tail curled between my legs at the thought. What was I supposed to say? I thought deeply about my question for a while before the mouth of a cave slowed my stride. Was I really here? I guess I would have to find out. "H-hello? Anyone here? Sorry to intrude." I called with my only slice of courage as my fur whipped around my face as I waited for a reply.

Taboo met Auroras with a smile, her bright white form visible even in the dark recesses of her den. "Greeting my child, what power do you wish for?" The good sister brought forward the potions that here in season. In the spring Physical and Earth powers could be gained. Auroras seemed like a cautious she wolf, very careful, but brave enough to get things done. Perhaps she would be best matched with something like barrier, perhaps soil even. But that was not entirely Taboo's job. The wolf had a say in her deal. Afterall what was a good wolf without freedom in her heart and wildness in her legs?

I met Taboo's eyes and returned their bright smile with my own. What was it exactly that I wished for? I always dreamt about amazing wolves with powers and adventures they had, but now it was my turn to choose. I paused for a moment. I had been born in the autumn I had always been intrigued by some earth powers such as the barrier and I also liked the physical idea of teleportation too, I was always cautious so a barrier would help me protect myself from some attacks and unexpected ambushes. I briefly broke eye contact with Taboo my eyes drifting off to the various potions with odd colouring and shapes which interested me some what. I noticed I was staring off again and regained my concentration."Please Taboo. I would love to gain the power of the barrier." I asked gently, hoping that this was the right thing for me. I glanced at the potion that was clutched in Taboo's paw, it swirled with colours of green, a beautiful green of the forest. I had many questions about the potions Taboo owned and many other things too, but I wasn't here to ask about them and I knew there wasn't much point in asking anyway but curiosity got the best of me and a question slipped from my jaws."What do you like best about your home?" I was slightly annoyed that I let a question slip but it didn't matter now. It was out there and I couldn't do anything about it. Maybe Taboo could answer it anyway because I did wonder what they liked about this place with so many good features, it was hard to choose myself.

Taboo could tell that Auroras was chalk full of questions, and when she let one slip, she supposed she could answer it. With a twinkle of her eye she dipped her head. "The beautiful valley view of course!" Auroras was a good wolf indeed, in both heart and deed. She had asked for the one Taboo had been thinking about earlier. Barrier, a very curious power. Able to create protective barriers, one of her favorites. A wolf could use it for it's intended use, but it could also be used in many, alternative, creative ways. It could be used as a step stool, in order to reach difficult places. Shelter from a storm, a way to pave one's path. A bridge over a difficult river crossing. Taboo hoped that in time, Auroras would be able to use her power efficiently, she didn't want the poor wolf getting hurt. Fetching the glistening yellow potion, she nudged it towards Auroras. "Here, Darling, drink."

"The beautiful valley view of course!" Was how Taboo had answered her question. Well the view was indeed beautiful and breathtaking she was right about that. She looked into Taboo's wise eyes, ones that told her she had a lot of experience here in the valley. She glanced away momentarily to have a quick look at the interesting potions again, she found them so fascinating, their colour like nothing she had ever seen until now. Her eyes came back to viewing an odd yellow potion in Taboo's paw before she was offered it. "Thank you." She nodded slightly while smiling with gratitude before she took the potion into her own paws. She opened the cap on top and held it in her free paw before she slowly sipped the potion until little more than a three quarters was left. Her stomach dropped as an odd feeling overcome her, it wasn't unpleasant as such but it did feel odd. She let the rest go down before passing the bottle back to Taboo, not sure where to put it. She managed a small smile before she left Taboo to her duties.
