Third Shard [Action]

Once upon a time...

There was a prince who was locked in a tower. His kingdom had been conquered by a dark king who was known for his ravenous greed, and he sealed off the prince from his people whom he loved. Alone and desperate, the prince was overwhelmed by sorrow until a miracle appeared. A swan had come to his window, and her feathers concealed letters from the people he missed so dearly. Day after day, the swan returned, bringing him more words of hope and well wishes from his people. These letters helped to rebuild the prince's heart, and he started to have hope again. One day, the swan decided to fulfill that hope. She lent him her wings, and with them he soared to freedom. The wings wore down as he reached land, and the prince was free to lead his people again. It was only then that he realized that by giving up her wings, the swan had trapped herself in his place. She was never seen again, and with that, all of the happiness that the prince had found began to crumble away.

In fact, it is said that this prince never smiled again...


[Action]

[Today, Mytho's wandering around town has something closer resembling meaning to it. Sure, he doesn't live near enough Duck to immediately notice her absence - nor does he come across her path on a daily basis. But he's still searching for her, without stopping. He goes around various locales around the town such as the library, the bakery, the fountain and most places around the plaza. And throughout his search, he specifically looks sad. He had felt that heart shard return to him the previous night, and that emotion - the emotion of sorrow - has been weighing on him ever since.

He will often stop passerby to ask them:]


Excuse me. Have you... seen Duck?

[Or, he may instead ask.]

Do you know... where Tutu is?

[Everyone knows Duck and Tutu, right? But all along, in a way, he knows. They're both gone. He's been able to feel it, ever since he woke up. He's not sure why both Duck and Tutu are associated with his feeling... He just knows that it feels like a piece of his heart is gone.

The search is over when night falls. He sits at the edge of the fountain, wallowing in this sorrow. And wishing he had the strength to try to dance.]

They're not very good.

[But at least he's trying, so A for effort?]
knightofratatosk: (Huh?)

[Emil looks a bit startled at first when Mytho takes his hand, but when he realizes what the other boy is trying to do, he allows him to guide him.

... well, it's not the most graceful step ever, though it's at least a little better than his previous attempts.]

[And Emil will try, awkwardly at first, but gradually gaining more confidence in his steps. He seems to have a decent amount of natural rhythm once he gets into it, if nothing else.]

So... why exactly are we dancing, anyway?

Oh, I get it. I've heard of people singing or painting pictures to express their emotions, so I guess it only makes sense that you could dance for the same reason.
knightofratatosk: (I don't get it)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-10-10 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Is it easier for you to dance now that you have your emotions back?

[He's curious.]
knightofratatosk: (Curious)

So... you want to dance more because you have feelings now, is that it?

[He's still trying to work this whole "not having emotions and then regaining them" thing out in his mind when it comes to what it affects for Mytho.]

I think that makes sense. If you have more feelings, then you have more that you want to share with everyone.
