[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Neirenn and Yorda
Content: Yorda's wandering around the city and happens upon a certain mage.
Setting: The city of Paixao, on the streets.
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: Other than possibly gratuitous amounts of Yorda's curiosity, none.

She had never been afraid of the dark. It simply wasn't in her nature, and although she would have had a hard time, if not for the glow that still filled her entire being - but something was wrong. She did not glow as brightly as she usually did, though her light was enough to see by, and she was having no trouble finding her way around the city. She couldn't manage to make her journal work, try as she might, and frowned.

She hoped everyone else in the city was alright.

In a way, Neirenn was right. All Yorda had to do was call the light back into her body and summon forth the darkness from which she was practically born. "Yes," Yorda replied simply. What else could she have done, she wondered? She had never seen any other kinds of shapeshifting but her mother's, which was almost the same as hers (but her mother had been mostly shadow in the end anyway).

Yorda gasped as the orb of light bounced off of her shield, her shoulders hunching as she flinched - imperceptibly, thanks to the shadows. "I am sorry," she told her, shifting to her normal form and allowing the shield to fade (she didn't know how to keep it up in her usual form anyway).
