Burn baby burn! - any - Jinju - 01-27-2017 Jinju It had been a while since she had been in the forest that was connected to the one that was her home. Well, in fact it had been a while since she had roamed Beqanna, as the two year old black girl had only recently found her way back home. No, she hadn’t been lost, or not in the direct definition of the world. Perhaps she had been lost in herself, in the new feelings and emotions, the new power. Jinju felt complete now and she couldn’t help but to wonder how she not could’ve missed this after the reckoning. It had taken her a while to get it back, but the ruby eyed girl wouldn’t want to give it up anymore. Without it she wouldn’t be complete anymore.
The fight with Ruan had learned her how strong her power could be. But also how destructive it was whenever she would get out of control. That was exactly what had happened and it had scared the two year old girl, yes, a girl, not yet a woman. She might rival Ruan in height by now, but she was not by far a woman. Neither in her appearance, nor her heart and mind. She had grown a lot, that was absolutely true, but Jinju also still had quite a way to go. Her legs had carried her to the forest, curious to explore the place. Before this was the only place she had felt comfortable enough to go to alone, without either Ruan or Reagan at her side, and thus it was quite logical that her tour stared here, right? The Taiga hadn’t changed much, except for some residents more and some changes in ranks, but it was still the place her family lived and thus her home. But perhaps there were adventures to go on in the forest, and Jinju certainly could use an adventure or another. RE: Burn baby burn! - any - Rhonen - 01-30-2017 rhonen molten eyes and a smile made for war RE: Burn baby burn! - any - Jinju - 01-31-2017 Jinju The forest was like a home to her, it felt like home. First she had lived in the Jungle, which had only been a couple of months, and after she had lost her adoptive mother it had been Reagan who had brought her to the Taiga. It was quite needless to say that Jinju felt at home in the forest, with vegetation all around her. And much safer here than in the open field, where hér nightmares sometimes still haunted her.
He bumps into her before she has time to move away and she silently curses herself for being too slow. This wasn’t what Ruan learned her, this wasn’t the way of the wolf. Or not like it should be at least. Surprised Jinju stumbles backwards, her ruby eyes searching the red frame of her ‘attacker’. However, he doesn’t strike again and instead apologizes. Only because of that the flames that danced at her feet disappeared again, though the scorching heat inside of her stays. ”You’re not” she states, their eyes meeting. ”But you’re forgiven.” With curiosity she tilts her head a little to study him. Something seemed to bother him, his whole body tense and the look in his eyes hard. However, he didn’t seem bad or dangerous per say. Jinju didn’t doubt he could be if he wanted to, but far as she could see that wasn’t what lied in his heart. ”Can I help you with something, you look bothered?” OOC: Lol, did you know Jinju is actually the daughter of the mare who gave herself to Conquest in that quest? But she is not the quest baby though. Nor raised by her mom. RE: Burn baby burn! - any - Rhonen - 01-31-2017 rhonen molten eyes and a smile made for war RE: Burn baby burn! - any - Jinju - 02-05-2017 Jinju She is fire and the fire is her. It lives in her, with her, and even though she had called it back into her, it still lied underneath the surface. Not that Jinju intended it to use it for anything else but protection, either herself, her family or her home. He didn’t seem a threat right now, so instead of looking at him like a danger, the black girl offers him a smile, one that shows in her ruby eyes too. ”I know a little” she answers, her head tilting a bit at the sound of his voice. Didn’t he know about the reckoning, was that what put him on edge like this. Not that Jinju couldn’t relate, she had freaked out on her way down the mountain with a fire burning behind her.
”Apology accepted, again. My name is Jinju” she introduces herself with a small nod of the head. The smile still hasn’t disappeared from her lips, but her gaze slowly travels around to look at the forest around her. She had fond memories of this place, but she had yet to find out if this moment was one to add to those. ”The fairies punished us. For greed, among other things, they say. They wanted us to earn it, the lands, our powers, but they take it back again if you do something that displeases them. Even if it’s a gift from a mother to a daughter” Jinju can’t help but to grow bitter near the end. She couldn’t say that her experience with the fairies had been good. She had been too little to understand what had happened at first. She had been torn away from her mother, the one who took her in after her own mother had abandoned her, and later they punished her and her new mother again for the simple sake of wanting to make their bond solid. So no, Jinju wasn’t fond of the fairies. In her eyes they hadn’t brought anything good to her, same as they hadn’t done for her dear friend Lilitha, but that was not the thing she should focus on now. It is Rhonen, who still was a little mystery to her. RE: Burn baby burn! - any - Rhonen - 02-05-2017 rhonen molten eyes and a smile made for war RE: Burn baby burn! - any - Jinju - 02-08-2017 Jinju She doesn’t remember much from the Reckoning. One moment she was safely with her adoptive mother in the Jungle and the next she was torn away from everything she knew. Magic had been unknown to her at that point, she didn’t have a way to understand what had happened nor what had caused the sudden change. However, soon she learned it had been the fairies. And nowadays the black girl, and soon to be woman, still doesn’t understand why they had taken her mother away.
So yes, Jinju can’t say she doesn’t agree with what the red male says. She doesn’t carry his burden and she hopes she never has too, but she does feel wronged. To her the fairies have never done something good. Only punished her for things she didn’t have a part in. And like that, they had treated Rhonen too. A fire lies underneath his spoken words, passion, a task, or perhaps it is the heavy burden on his shoulders. Even though it isn’t directed at her, Jinju takes a step back. His tension has her tense and soon little – to her harmless – sparks of fire dance around her skin. She’s simply too young and unexperienced to control it properly. ”Far as I know, the lands have been quite peaceful since the Reckoning. This dark force, I do not know of it..” she tries to sooth, though the red eyed girl isn’t sure who she’s soothing. Hesitance and fear lie in her eyes. Not of him, but the darkness he speaks of. She can see how it consumes him, which makes it pretty clear that it is not something to take light. Jinju had only known Beqanna to be peaceful and safe, the existence of such forces was entirely new to her, and quite scary she would have to admit. ”I don’t know…” she mumbles softly, then pausing for a moment. ”But I’ve only seen them punishing others. Me, my mom, Litha, everybody. Was it so wrong of me to find a new mother..?” her voice suddenly thickening with emotion, a slight tremble as well, as she glances away. No, the Reckoning hadn’t done her any good. However, she has grown and learned. And that shows in the smile as he asks her about her home. ”The Taiga. It isn’t quite like the Jungle, but it is home. It is where my family lives.” To her that was what a home was, the place where her family was. First it had been Lexa and the Jungle, now Reagan, Ruan and all her siblings in the Taiga.

But most of all, he makes her curious to the thing he hides within. The secret he carries. Yet, she’s also careful enough to be afraid of it. She had known distress herself too, but now that she was slowly getting older she knew that her worries as a child were nothing like an adult’s ones. Something really horrible must keep him busy. Jinju wouldn’t ask, she was raised to not be impolite like that.
So instead she focusses on their conversation. She’s not able to hide the small smile as he tells her she wasn’t wrong. It was nice to hear that from someone. After it happened her mother had never ever talked about it with her. They hadn’t spoken about it at all and Jinju found it nice to hear someone tell her that she had done right finding a family. So she smiles at him, and dips her head lightly as a silent thank you. She gladly accepts the change of the subject then. Jinju cannot help it but to smile a little as she gets to talk about her home. ”I’m sorry. I’m not familiar with the Falls. I was but a child when it happened..” she excuses herself with another small smile. Just like her own, his face brightens up as he talks about his home, or his former home, and she cannot help it but to get curious. ”What was it like, the Falls I mean? Did it really had a waterfall?” Oh, what she would’ve given to see that. RE: Burn baby burn! - any - Rhonen - 02-25-2017 rhonen molten eyes and a smile made for war |
