Tersias lay flat on his back as the wind blew gently through the trees, stirring dead autmn leaves into a dance. As he began to sit up, a blinding pain shot through his head, causing him to fall back to the ground, rubbing his face with the palm of a leather gloved hand. He groaned quietly at the aching seeping throughout his body. Rolling over he opened his eyes, squinting at the leaflitter, confused. He pushed himself to his knees and brushed a leaf gently from his blonde hair as he looked around, bright blue eyes searching for recognition of this place. A sudden realisation hit. oh god what had he done! What had he done! He bit his lip to hold back tears which were now pricking the back of his eyes. They had been found out and now...he would never see her again. Tersias placed his forehead back against the ground, his face cradled gently in the palms of both hands as he rocked back and forth, trying to contain the overwhelming feelings of loss and hatred. How could this have happened! He lost all sense of time as his body shook with silent, empty sobs. He straightened up and took a deep breath, tear stained cheeks stinging slightly from the chilly wind. The sound of rushing water reached his ears. Feeling empty, he stood and wandered accross to the edge of a river, looking up he could see magnificent waterfalls, almost disappearing into the sky. He watched as the sun caught the moisture sparking out of the plunge pool, causing it to create a minature sparkling rainbow. kneeling, he splashed his face with the cool liquid, trying in vain to rid himself of the memories, and find that one impossible ounce of hope.

Kal walked the falls, coming out from behinds its wall of water. She was at the moment Leeanne, a sweet young Cat from the village not far from here. Kal really didn't have anything specific to be doing. The King just told her to be in the area, so she was, And as a spy she culd't just be walking around in her real form. And no one bugged her when she looked like this.
She stepped carefully through the grass, each foot step seeming as if she was walking on air. Her traditional Karian dress dancing as she walked. She caught site of the man laying on the ground. She walked up to him, a basket of herbs and flowers in one arm. "Umm...excsise me sir?" she said in a vioce that was soft and sweet but had an underlying tone of melencholy.

Tersias stayed kneeling where he was as soft footfalls approached. It was probably a mirage, sent to taunt him. A sweet, melodic voice drifted to his ears and he looked up into the face of a pretty girl. She was wearing a long dress, traditional to that of the karian people.Not that that eased his pain so much.Kar was a dangerous place theese days, and he was sure that "god" would pay special attention that he suffered specially. He looked up at her from his kneeling position, mouth ajar, completely at loss for words as he fumbled his way through the shock of what had just happened to him. Biting his lip, Tersias looked back to the sparkling surface of the water, unable to trust himself to keep a steady voice.

'leeane' Hung her head slitling. She grabbed a few of the herbs out of the basket and crushed them in her hand, she then put them into a cantine. She carfeully dipped it into the water of the falls. She handed it to the man. "Here, drink this. It will make you feel better," She said in her soft fake vioce. True she was naturally quite but it had no sense of caring or kindness to it. Kal mental shrugged it off and let Leeane take over. She smiled at the man, erdging him to take the bottle.

Tersias looked back up into the girls eyes as she offered him the flask. He had just watched her put something in it, why in hells name would she think that he was stupid enough to take something which she had just so openly tampered with? After a moments paused he asked Who are you? his voice coming out clearer and much more confident that he felt.

"Leeann. I'm a herbist," she said, knowing what he was thinking. "It's a remedy, it's safe," she said taking a sip from it, and then pushing it back towords him. She kneeled down onto the soft grass. It was still dap from the worning dew. "Here," she said kindly, her soft vioce erdging him to take it. "I swere it will make you feel beter."

I dont think anything could make me feel better right now. Tersias replied as he took the cup, looking as miserable as he felt. He put the rim up to his face, sniffing it carefully before concluding that there wasnt much else that could happen to make his life much worse than it already was. He glanced up and froze in horror. There, stalking through the woods behind leeann, was a corpse, rotting and decaying. At the sight of it, Tersias' heart sank, as he realised that this was his inevitable punishment. Not satisfyed with the flames of hell, and being parted from his love, the supposed "god" had cursed Tersias to walk the earth for all eternity. Never to love, always destined to become the stagnant soul he now saw infront of him. cursed to walk the earth for all eternity, slowly rotting and decaying through life, and death, until he was nothing more than a disgusting, miserable corpse, watching as life went on as he himself despaired.

"Umm, Sir are you alright?" she asked. She placed her hand on hid forehead. "No fever, pupils slightly dialighted..." she removed her hand from his forehead and moved it to his neck, feeling his puplse. "Wow that fast, Sir I think you should come with me," she said.

Tersias stayed still as Leeanne examined him, she may as well have been a ghost for all he cared as the gravity of his situation hit. fantastic! he had been the creme de la creme of the angels, and now look at him. Stuck here worrying what the hell he was going to do about life. Perhaps it would be easyer if he was mortal after all. As she excalimed that he should follow her immediately, Tersias looked at Leanne blankly, his bright blue eyes no longer showing signs of life.

Leeann dragged him to his feet. "Come on," she said. She walked him through the forest until they got to a small village of cats that lived in the forest around the falls. She opened the door to a small house. "Lay down," she said sitting him on the bed.

As Leanne dragged him through the forest, the world seemed to pass as a blurr but for his thoughts of Akalia, the inevitable future, and a passing thought to this pretty girl who appeared to be attempting to help his lost cause. As she opened the door of a small hut and ordered him to lie down, the obliged obediently, no longer caring what happened to him. Staring up at the rafters he opened his mouth and asked Leanne quietly Why do you help a lost cause? his gentle voice barely audible in the dark hut.

"Tell me," she said. "What is a creature such as yourself doing among the mortals of Kar?" it had hit Kal. Maybe, she culd recruit this man. He didn't seem to care one way or another what happened to himself. And the king would over joyed with her.

Not really caring for anything anymore, Tersias replied almost robotically. I was deemed unworthy of my position amongst the high. It didnt even occur to him how she had known that he wasnt mortal. What was the point in questions anyway? What was the point in life, living...anything really?

Kal smiled. 'So it wont ,matter to him anymore,' she said. "What do you know of the troubles on Kar?" she asked. It may have seemed odd where all these questions were coming from.

Tersias frowned slightly. Not much really. And i dont really care anyway! he replied, the honesty in his voice unmaskable.
