It's Only The Fairy Tale; Open

A voice echoed through the place, it's melody sweet but yet bitter. A woman will long ice blue hair sat upon a boulder in the center of the lake. Its icy water flowing around the mermaid as she sang. Neither the snow nor cold water seemed to bother her as her fin lay in the water, lightly swaying against the waves. Even as she sang, tears fell from her face and hit the water turning into pearls.

"Who are those little girls in pain?
Just trapped in a castle on the dark side of the moon.
Twelve of them shining bright in vain,
Like flowers that blossom once in years.

They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love,
Just dreaming of places where they're free as doves.
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage,
It's only the fairy tale they believe."

Her voice carried carried the sad melody causing a few ice cicles to humm lightly with the vibration. She didn't think anyone would we out in the weather, for she figured humans didn't like the cold.

"They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love,
Just dreaming of places where they're free as doves.
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage,
It's only the fairy tale they believe."

Her eyes were closed as she held her hands in front of her as if she were praying. Long ice blue hair swaying against the wind as her voice sand to the sad melody. Across her chest was a sports bra that had dolphins on them.

Cyan could hear the singing from a ways away. The day was cold and clear, though he only noticed the second part. He barley fealt the cold, as though it were only autum to him. He wore no hat, and the thick black robes he wore kept out the wnd. Gloves, as always, covered his hands, and the sturdy black boots he wore left a trail down to the water's edge.

The song was not one he knew, and so he stood back, waiting for whoever sang it to finish.

As it did wind to a close, though, Cyan crested the last of the small hills near the river, and was surprised to see just who sang A young woman, garbed in almost nothing at all.
Though he didn't feel the cold, Cyan knew very well that most people did.
Frowning, he came to the water's edge, uncertain weather help was needed or not.

Annalyn continued to sing for a little while before she allowed her voice to fade away. There were few birds left who hadn't flown south for the winter and they stood on the branches of trees watching her, as if mesmorized. Not much of an audience but she was glad for their company. She moved her fin causing a few splashes as she bowed lightly to them and laughed softly, sounding much like wind chimes. Annalyn had yet to notice the newcomers as she exstended her hand out and watched as the bird perched upon her hand.

"They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love, just dreaming of places where they're free as doves. They will never be allowed to love in this cursed cage, it's only the fairy tale they believe." She sang softly to the bird as it flew away softly to join their compainion. With a smile she turned her head to the side and caught sight of the stranger. A look of surprise and a hint of fear coming over her face as she stared at the person. She really didn't expect anyone to be out. The mermaid brought her tail fin fom the water and brought it close to her as if to protect it.

"Are you lost?" She lifted her eyes up to look at the person.

Cyan stopped, looking down at her. He wasn't certain, but...
Yes, she had a tail!
"A mermaid?" he wondered aloud, watching, more than a little fascinated. Such people were supposed to be only myth.
Then again, so were necromancers and dark enchanters, and he was both, by consideration.

Coming out of his thoughts, Cyan heard a question asked.
"Are you lost?"
"Hardly," Cyan said, careful not to come closer. She seemed...afraid of him.
He could see why. Garbed in black robes, with his thin frame. He looked like some spectre in the snow, come to claim her life.

"I heard you singing," he explained. "It was very beautiful."

Annalyn blinked a few times as she heard the word that passed his lips. Of coarse she was a mermaid, she wasn't some human that fell into a tub a waste. Her eyes staring at him for a few moments before looking up at the sky. His staring made her nervous as she still held her tail to her chest as if it she were holding a precious object. Which it was. His compliment earned him a smile even though it was and sad.

"Thank you," She said turned her ocean blue eyes to stare at him. Even as long as she has been at the school, she sill couldn't get use to two-leggers. Not after being betrayed by one of them. The past memory made her throat feel tight and tears threatened to fall. Annalyn pushed them away as she laughed lightly. "I must look silly. Please forgive me."

She reached a hand up to wipe at her eyes.

Cyan smiled. His smile was calm and reassuring, but his eyes were sad, far away.
"No, not silly," he assured her. "We all have things we are sad about..."
Risking it, Cyan began descending the crest, moving over it with grace that should have belonged only to elven folk.

"What makes you so sad, as to sing such a moving song?" he asked her. "Is it-"

He was cut off. As he talked, a patch of ice had escaped his gaze, twisting his foot under him.
With a yelp, Cyan plunged forward, digging his hand into the ground, trying to slow his fall.

As he neared the bottom, he came to a halt. His robes clung to him in spots now, and he kept his left hand concealed in the folds of his volumous sleeves.

Annalyn blinked a few times as she watched him carefully and listned to the question that was asked of her. He asked what she was sad about, there were a lot of things but she wasn't going to tell it to a complete stranger. As she watched, her eyes went wide the ice twisted beneath him causing him to tumble and fall. She divered off her, splashing to the water and coming up near the shore but stopped seeing she could do nothing unless she had her legs. Annalyn could summon them but didn't have the heart to.

"Are you alright?!" Annalyn asked with a worried look on her face as she gazed from the shore.

"I'm fine," Cyan said quickly, sharply, the words coming out harsher than he'd intended.
He looked about furiously, as though looking for something he had lost.
He was looking for the glove he wore on his left hand. He refused to go without it. If he didn't...
His left arm, from halfway to the elebow, was naught but bone, with shadows and smoke around it, giving it form and substance. He had given it, in order to spare other whom he loved.
Thus, he wore his gloves, to hide his...deformity.
Desperatley, he looked up the hill, from where he'd fallen, yet could not find it.

Annalyn flinched as if she had been struck and waded back into the water. She swimmed back to her rock and allowed her upper bod to lounge upon it. Ocean blue eyes watching him as he seemed to be looking for something of great importance. Or so she could tell from the look on his face. The mermaid fell silent then, almost afraid to speak. She really didn't want to get to hear another cruel sound.

"Alright." She spoke softly.

At last, Cyan had to give up. He couldn't find it.
Then, he remembered exactly who it was he was talking to, and the harsh words he'd sent her way.
Turning, Cyan looked to her. His eyes looked very sad now, and his head was bowed slightly. His hand, he kept hidden behind his back, in the depths of his volumous sleeve.

"Forgive me," he asked, looking to her. "I spoke in anger...I didn't mean to say what I did."

Annalyn stayed where she was half hidden by the rock in which she had been sitting on earlier. Ocean eyes staring at the man who was bowing to her and apologizing. When he did look at her, she was quick to look away and stared at the birds on the tree branches. After a few seconds, she turned her head slowly back to where the boy was. The expression on her face showing she was even more uneasier around him, at least from the way he was quick to anger.

"You said nothing wrong. I asked if you were alright and you replied justly." She said simply before staring back down at the water.

"But I replied in the wrong way," Cyan told her. "And for that I'm sorry. I suppose you've lost things, things which are part of you...part of your identity...part of who you are, what you are."

Cyan didn't know just how literally he was speaking, especially referring to himself. When he had the gloves on, nobody noticed just what his deformity was, and he fealt normal.
Now, though, with it missing...

"That song," he began, trying to change the topic. "What was it? It was very moving."

Annalyn watched the boy and moved around her rock until she was on the other side of it. Her ocean blue eyes watching him carefully as she turned her head the other way. She didn't want him to see just how right his words were. Tears stung at the back of her eyes but she wouldn't let herself cry. No, she made a promise to herself after a certain betrayel. The mermaid shook her head lightly before looking toward the boy when he asked about the song.

"The song? It was just a tail of girls who are trapped in a world where loving could mean the life of the one dearest to you." Annalyn said staring at him as she slowly swam to the shore and placed her elbows on the land. She placed her chin in her hands as she stared at him for some time before speaking again. "Would you like me to sing it again?"

"I know of a similar song," Cyan told her. "It's about two lovers, who are seperated by vast distances. They would do anything to reach each other, but can never quite get there."

The song ran through his head quickly. A sad song. "It's best played on the piano," Cyan told her, "where it can be enjoyed to its fullest."

He shifted uncomphortably as she stared at him, feeling self consious.

"Would you like me to sing it again?"

"Yes, please," he asked her. "I'd like to hear it again...It was a very beautiful song, at least when you sang it."

Annalyn stared at the human boy as he shifted a bit, though she wasn't for sure why. She smiled as she heard his compliment and ducked her head a bit in acknowledgement. The mermaid had heard such words from other people but she didn't think her singing was that good. Upon hearing he knew a similiar song, she grew quite intersted and. She would look forward to hearing it one day, most likely one of the few things she looked forward to.

When he accepted her offer she nodded her head and smiled. Clearing her throat a bit before opening her mouth.

"Who are those little girls in pain?
Just trapped in a castle on the dark side of the moon.
Twelve of them shining so brightly in vain,
Like flowers that blossom just once in years.

They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love,
Just dreaming of places where they're free as doves.
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage,
It's only the fairy tale they believe."

She sang softly as her voice alone carried the melody. Where she lacked musical devices to give it a beat her voice made up for it. As she sang, she stared at the human boy as if she were singing to a lost lover. A few locks of her ice blue hair falling over her shoulders.

"They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love,
Just dreaming of places where they're free as doves.
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage,
It's only the fairy tale they believe."

Cyan closed his eyes, taking in the song. It was such a beautiful, sad song. He could feel tears come to his eyes, which he quickly bit back.

As it came to a close, he opened his eyes, and jumped, surprised to see her watching him as intently as a hawk would.

"Very nice," he murmered appraisingly. "It's not often I hear a song like that...It's very sad..."

Almost at once, he thought of Plato's Republic, and a story inside, which was similar. People lead to believe in one life, not knowing of the actual thing.

"The song I know is similar."

"Why thank you. I guess I specialize in sad songs. Suits me I guess." Annalyn said with a smile, though it didn't show on her face, it could be seen in her eyes. A small breeze of cold air blwoing by as a few strands fell over her place.

Annalyn had watched him jumped and laughed a bit. It was rare for her to see a two-legger jump so with surprise. Usually it would be her that would be jumping. As she watched him, she nodded her head. The mermaid was quite curious on how similar the song was. Her tail fin swaying lightly behind her as she looked around a bit before looking at the boy.

"Really? Please sing it to me." Annalyn said with a smile as her finger idly played with a few pebbles of various of colors.

"The song isn't like the one you sang in how it sounds," he told her. Brushing away the snow, he sat down, legs crossed, hand still kept deep in his sleeve.
"It's more in the message."

Cyan quickly cleared his throat, then began.

"If I had wings, I would fly to the moon, and hold the stars in my grasp,
I would climb the sky,
Watch the world go by,
And forget the dreams of my past...

If I had wings, I would fly to the stars, and give them all to you,
But as time passes by,
I watch you fly and I,
Wonder that I'd give them to who..."

His voice was light and elegant, drifting across the lake.

"The moon, the stars, the darkness above, they all seem so very near.
But I've not the wings,
To fly to these things,
So it seems that I shall be left here..."

The song trailed off, coming to a close. "Well," Cyan murmered, looking down to her. "What'd you think?"

Annalyn had a small smile on her face as she nodded her head and listned to him sing. She closed her eyes as she listned to the man sing and mesmorized the sound of it. It was quite nice and she liked the words in which he used to sing it with. Most songs she heard were sung to her by singer who were yet famous and even then they only need to sing it once for her to mesmorize. Her memory was excelent and she remembered a lot of things.

When she was for sure he was done singing she opened her eyes back up and stared at him. She stayed silent for a few moments before speaking again and tapped the base of her chin lightly. A few locks of hair falling over her shoulder as she moved a bit.

"It was okay....I've heard better but I like it." Annalyn said simply as she stared at him. She wouldn't admit just how much she liked it to this two-legger. If he was Jerum on the other hand, she would have but he wasn't. "What are you doing out in this weather?"

She questioned with a tilt of her head.

Cyan nodded. He thought it was good, but that was his onw opinion.

"I don't really feel the cold," he told her, shrugging. "It's been a while since I could..."

He didn't tell her the whole story. About how he couldn't feel the cold or the heat, just a normal in-between. How he only needed a few hours of sleep each night, and how he wandered around in the early hours of the morning.

"Of course, I could take a swim with you," he teased, "but I might feel that a bit."

Annalyn frowned at the boy for two reasons. The first was because he said he couldn't feel the cold and it's been awhile since he could. The second was because she didn't really liked be teasing, she considered it mean. Humans were quite puzzling creatures and she still couldn't get the concept of people holding their hands out to each other.

"You're one wierd land walker," She murmed lightly as her ocean blue eyes going toward the still covered up arm. The mermaid really wasn't able to see it because of the sleeves that hid it so well. Her curiousity getting the better of her then as she opened her mouth to speak once more. "What are you hiding...?"

She gestured toward his sleeve where his arm was hidden.

Cyan grinned. "That's what a few people have said," he told her. "But, I would rather be wierd, than normal. It's what gives us our individuality."

He settled back more comphortable, letting one leg sprawl out in front of him. He looked out of place, there in the snow by the lake. His skin, just a little paler than normal, with long black hair and robes. He stood out in stark contrast to the white of winter's snow.

"What are you hiding...?"

Cyan looked over to his concealed arm, then back to her. "Are you sure you want to know?" he asked her. "You may not like it."

Annalyn blinked a few times as she watched him and smiled a little.

"I'm quite sure I want to see. After all, there are a lot of things I don't like but I have to deal with it anyway," Annalyn said with a smile as she placed her chin in her hands and stared at the pale boy. Her ocean blue eyes staring at his face for a few moments before going toward the hidden arm. He had, she observed, carefully hid it with his everymovement. "I won't think you any different, if that's what you're worried about."

She smiled.

"Be careful what you say," Cyan warned her. "There has been more than one, who's decided just what to think of me, based on it."

With a sigh, one that seemed like a sigh of resignation, Cyan pulled his hand out, showing her just what it was he had been concealing.

About halfway to the elebow, down to each finger of his left hand, it was all bone. There were no tendons, no flesh and muscle. It was white bone. Wrapped about it, there seemed a dark, smokey substance, almost like an after image of what the arm and hand had once been.
And on the ring finger, a ring, with a skull engraved into it.

"This is the price I payed," Cyan told her, looking to his deformity, "so that I could help those I cared for. I lost part of my own flesh and blood, gave it to the gods above."
As if to show her more, he set his hand onto the ground.
As it touched, the snow beneath melted, showing grass beneath. From where the ring was, and moving outward, death emeneated. The grass withered and died, turning grey. Snow turned dark grey, as though by smoke, then melted away. It reached out for three or more feet, before he lifted his hand, ending the slow creeping death.

"That's why I wore the glove, and hid...this," he told her. "If I don't cover it...and I touch something..."
He gestured to the dead grass, blighted by what he had done.
"I cannot remove the ring. It's part of me, as surley as this bone and smoke is part of me now..."

Annalyn blinked a few times as she stared at the bone arm with the skull ring on it. The mermaid had prepared herself for something much, much worse. She had seen a few skeletons in her life that had managed to drift themseleves to her ocean home. Most of them were still fleshy if not a bit bloated. Her ocean eyes staring at it for a few moments as the land walker began to speak. Ys, Annalyn expacted some sort of bubbly skin of some sort. Or maybe an extra head that was breathing but no, she saw just a arm that lacked skin and other things.

"I see. Geez, you had me scared for a second. I thought maybe you had a snake for an arm like this one boy did." Annalyn said with a small sigh as she placed a hand over heart almost as if she were about to have heart failure. Even seeing the grass wither and die didn't scare her. No, the only thing that did scare her were things that ate anythgin that crossed their path. She had watched a movie like that. It was called resident Evil. "You did it for good cause and there is nothing scary or bad about that."

Her eyes scanned the snow to see if she could find his glove. Something lumpy and black caught her eyes then. The mermaid could only guess if it was his glove.

"Is that it over there?" Annalyn asked as she pointed her finger in the direction.

"It worries me, though..."

He hadn't told her the whole story, of course, but enough for her to know why he'd done what he had done.

"It's...unnatural," he murmered, looking down at the skeletal hand. "It's something that I keep from people, because...well, nobody has anything like this."
He grinned slightly. "No support group, you know?"

His eyes followed the direction she indicated. "Could be," he said. Rising, he moved over to the small dark lump.
"Well, so it is!" he murmered, a smile coming to his face.
The black glove was slightly worse for wear, but still served the purpose it needed.'

"Thank you for finding it," he said to her, returning to where he had been, looking far more cheerful than when he'd gone.

Annalyn smiled as she nodded her head.

"Glad to be of help. You shouldn't let it worry you. Though I understand why you cover it up. If you were to touch someone, their death could be a great burden." Annalyn said as she watched him with a smile. The mermaid stretched her arms into the air and leaed back intot he snow. It was to flat for her comfort. "My name is Annalyn, what is yours?"

She questioned as she started to pull some of the snow together in order to make a cushion for her back. In this form, cold wasn't much a problem. In fact, it seemed like a winter paradise.

Cyan nodded. He'd done that once, accidentally...It weighed on his soul like twenty pounds of lead.
Getting more comphortable, Cyan brushed aside more snow, clearing a small spot on the ground where he could sit in comphort.

"Cyan Montag," he told her. "A pleasure, Annalyn. You're the first of the merfolk I've had the privelege to meet. I had thought they all lived in the deeps of the ocean, or so I'd learned from my readings. Why would somebody of such a mythical race care to come to a school so full of two-leggers?"

Annalyn bowed her head a little as she acknowledged Cyan. That was a nice name, it suited him well. She reached over her shlouder to brush a few strands back as a small breeze of ice cold air blew by. Ocean blue eyes going over to the snow as he asked about he being here. It was something she really didn't want ot talk about. Something like that would make her cry.

"A very unfortunate event. That is all I can tell you. The waterful is not a very popular place. Many people don't visit here, so I am safe. The weather backs up my theiry as well." Annalyn said with a smile as she leaned back against her big snow cushion. Her ice blue hair bein sprawled behind her like some big silk blanket. She watched him from her spot as she idly played with a strand of her hair. "You have seen nobody of my kind? Ever?"

She questioned.

"Never ever," he assured her, reclining back onto his elebows. "I've read stories, of course, and have done my research. When you come from Germany, there aren't many waters nearby, where you can go looking for the merfolk."

Reaching out with his hand, he took a handful of snow, and began packing it together.

"I was always certain your people existed, but I never had a way of being certain...There were always stories, but the merfolk always kept to themselves."

Annalyn watched him and nodded her head. That was true. They did keep to themselves and for good reason to.

"Of coarse. We don't want to be harpooned and put up in some art museum. Two of my people were captured and tested. When they were returned to our care, they died the next day." The mermaid said bitterly as a hateful look came to her ocean blue eyes, turning them to an icey color. Her hands gripped the snow at her sides as she looked toward the water. A few strands of hair falling over her face.

"We trust few." She said with a frown.

"With good reason," Cyan agreed. He trusted few people as well, these days. Oh, he'd been different, once upon a time, before his home town was destroyed, along with almost everybody from there.
It had opened his eyes, made him ralize the world didn't give a crap about you.

"You need a close circle of friends, who can support each other," he said to her. "So that, when the times get tough, they can help one another...Without that, we'd all fall."

Annlyn nodded her head as she listened to him. Yes, she needed close friends. At the moment, she only had one. That being Jerum. It was hard to trust people. There was always that small nagging voice that told you not to trust them. Not ot ever turn your back on them. Not to give them a foot since they would take a mile. When she was people she trusted, that nagging voice was nowhere to be found.

"I guess my fish friends are someone I can trust." Annalyn said with a small laugh as she shifted a little in her snow cushion. Her hand coming to lay across her scaley lap as she stared at the water. Ocean blue eyes slowly turning back to look at Cyan. "Who do you rust?"

She tilted her head to the side.

"Who do I trust?" he repeated. "Not many, these days, that's for sure."
He reclined back, the ball of snow in his hands, letting his head fall into the snow behind him.

"Both of my parents are gone, all of my old friends, too. I keep to myself mostly in the school...I don't exactly go out looking for companions in this school...Everybody seems so damn sad, it depresses me, to hear their sop stories, over and over....But, I'm wandering off from the question, aren't I?" he asked her.

Sitting up, he said,"There's a few I trust around here...A student named Icarus, and a young woman named Sareah...I haven't seen her in so long..."

Annalyn nodded her head as she listend to him speak. This school seemed to be built upon sob stories. She told few about her background, Jerum and Minoru were the only ones who knew about her. As he finished speaking, she turned her eyes up to look at the sky. After a few moments, she was silent. Then her stomach started to grumble then. She quickly placed a hand over it. If she could blush, she would be doing it right now with embaressment.

"So, what brings you out here?" She quickly asked hoping he didn't hear the sound in which her stomach made.

"Boredome," Cyan told her.
And yes, he did her her stomach, grinning to himself when he did.


"There wasn't much else to do, on a day like this. Most people are huddled around their furnaces, trying to keep warm."
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the snowball towards the lake, sending it high over Annalyn's head.

"Alas, cold isn't one of those things I feel, these days."
He didn't seem very sad that he didn't.
"If they're not doing that, it seems they're in one of the other buildings. The gym, the auditorium, or whatever. That's not my interest. So, with a lack of better things to do, here I am."

Annalyn leaned back a bit more in her snow cushion as she listened to him speak. Well, they seemed like good reasons and equally solid conclusion. She folded her arms over her chest as she stared at him for a few moments. He really didn't seem to mind the cold which, was a surprise to the mermaid. He seemed so unlike Jerum, Jerum didn't like the cold very much. Her ocean blue eyes stared at the snow about her as she reached out and took a clump of it.

"I see...I guess boredome can do that to some people. Though tell me, why is it that you cannnot feel the cold? Well, it seems that you do but you don't seem to mind it." Annalyn said as she started to shape the snow in her hands into a ball. Her slender fingers carefully shaping and smoothing the bit of snow as she awaited Cyan's response.

"I feel it, but not as severley as most do, nor does it affect my body nearly as much," he explained. "Winter's cold chill is like a cool autum day to me. Summer is much the same, feeling no warmer than spring's thawing. It's the work of my God, Morgion, Lord of life and death..."

He gathered up another ball of snow into his hands.

"The robes I wear are in his service, you see, and he gives his followers some...aid, if you will. I can endure the extreme elements as though they were nothing worse than a cool day...Though it always seems that way to me. Even during the hottest days of Summer, I feel a bit of a chill in my bones,as though the heat in my room were not turned up quite high enough."

He shrugged. "But, it's nothing I can't ignore. It's far preferable to freezing during the winter, or sweating like a pig in the summer."

Annalyn listened to Cyan as he spoke and started to make more snow balls. Ocean blue eyes watching him as he explained while her hands seemed to have a mind of their own. She thought his lack of feeling of r the cold was a rather interesting gift to have. The mermaid had no doubt that Jerum would have a field day with that kind of power. A smile graced her face as she thought about it. When Cyan was done speaking she already had a pile of snow balls beside her, though she didn't realize it until she lookded over.

"Wow, I know a someone who would be that kind of power. I take it it comes in hand?" She spoke as she picked a snow ball and weighed it lightly in her hand. Idly, she tossed it from one hand to another as if thinking on what she could do with it. There was a game, she remembered that involved ball shaped snows. A frown forming her face as she thought about it...Now what was it hey did with it? "It's nice to relax."

With that said she lifted her hand and pulled her arm back. A deja`vu feeling coming ot her then. She closed her eyes as the thought played through her mind like some video. Annalyn felt her arm pull back then launch forward. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times as she stared at her empty hand where the snow ball had once resided. A look of horror coming to her face as she looked over to where Cyan was. Her arm had been facing that direction.

OOC: I presume you meant Cyan, right there at the end?

"It definatley has its perks, to be sure," he told her. "I don't miss freezing and sweating, that much is for sure."

Idilly, he watched her, making more and more snow balls.
"Now, what are you doing?" he murmered, palming the snow ball he'd been holding, sitting up to watch more clearly.

It seemed he'd have his answer in just a second.
With a quirked brow, Cyan watchedher throw the ball right at him.

With an 'Oomph,' the ball hit him square in the chest, before falling to his feet.
"Oh, you're going to regret that," Cyan warned her, grinning.
Cocking his arm back, Cyan tossed the snow ball he'd been holding at her tail. Hedidn't throw it hard, but accuratley enough. He didn't want to hurt her, after all.
