lay me over a broken altar - Xi - 05-09-2020 xi
our gospel is living flesh sprawled in dust
The snowy season had coaxed a large number of Beqanna's nomads away from the common lands, leaving Xi behind to explore them undisturbed. In turn, the ivory and incarnadine woman left the lands the way she'd found them ─ with the only exception being the Forest, where she'd shattered a fairly large oak into a hundred pieces following a particularly large owl's hoot from a nearby tree limb. Wooden debris had rained down upon the snow, creating random pockmarks as they settled. The owl had not lingered for long.
Xi had left soon after, shaking bits of tree bark casually from her aeolian two-toned mane. The usually stoic woman flutters her translucent wings upon arrival to the Meadow ─ a habit that had formed during childhood whenever she'd happened across something that had charmingly surprised her. The Meadow contained less snow than expected, its tall grasses only coated by a thin layer of frost, prompting this gentle expression of excitement from an otherwise indifferent creature. She moves through the silence with gentle and measured steps upon the hardened winter earth. Cold shoots of grass move against her lean legs and ivory barrel as she roams nearer to the area not yet snuffed by regular grazing. Snorting quietly against the chill, Xi raises her angular head and surveys what she can see of the Meadow with her harsh lavender eyes ─ There is no one to be seen nearby, prompting another gentle flutter of her peach and purple butterfly wings, before she lowers her head to the earth and closes her eyes against the winter sun for a midday nap. @any

Xi's mind is empty of dreams.
More often than not, her slumber is undisturbed by dreamscapes produced by her mind's eye. This nap is no different, disturbed by naught, and brings her only the darkness of the inside of her eyelids. Her lithe body remains in the same position that she had fallen asleep in: two-toned head slung low, wings relaxed against her sides, shoulders loose. Her ivory tail sways gently in the icy cool breeze, a white flag attached to a being with no understanding of the word surrender. Pow! The sound rips her from her sleep ─ Xi's muscles are taut and ready for flight even before she realizes she is awake, but settles down quickly as her lavender eyes find the two-toned antlered girl ─ looking just as surprised as she ─ in front of her and determines that she isn't a threat. But that doesn't stop the hidden tree trunk behind the woman from exploding violently, sending debris both skyward and in the direction of the two painted women. Xi snorts as she swings her head to the side, using her draping mane to shield her face from the wood chips that fly through the air. She remains like this for a few moments beyond the sound of the debris hitting the ground, blinking the sleep from her eyes, before turning her sharp purple gaze back to the other woman. “Be quiet,” Xi snaps with a harsh whisper, before an exasperated sigh falls from her open maw at the realization that she's feeling a bit too drowsy from her nap to be a bitch to this stranger, “If you don't whisper, things will keep exploding.” Xi lowers her head to nibble gently at an itch above her knee before she reverts her severe gaze back to her newest acquaintance. “Are you hurt?” she asks quietly, though more out of necessity than anything else. @[Warlight]
