Cirrus the WindDancer
Sweat darkened the otherwise white, cloudy hide of the mare. The sky above was a lighter, brighter hue, not dampened by the perspiration that made the mare's dark points almost black.
Cirrus climbed, for she did not wish to fly. She climbed, because the stupid tokens she held within her feathers would likely be lost into the abyss if she flew. She climbed upon four strong, sturdy limbs, because it was the least she could suffer in her repentance for the death she had dished out.
Five, I killed five…, she carried their deaths within her breast and upon her wings, the guilt weighing her down. Each footstep was taken as if she were carrying an extra tonne upon her shoulders, the strain upon her soul visible. They say death breaks one soul… my soul was already shattered when.. when..
Tear tracks were evident upon her cheeks, though her eyes were relatively dry as she made her ascent. Cirrus had cried, for every death blow she dealt, she was reminded of all the death in her life so far. It plagued her, the death, the memories, and now the God thinks to make me his Grim Reaper so that I might relive it anew, over and over..
Cirrus did not know how she felt about the Gods. Born and raised within the Throat, taught to revere and respect the Sun God, she had approached the Earth God's call in the Meadow that day as a polite spectator. He had singled her out, he had given her this task - she barely knew him, and she wanted to hate him for doing this to her. Who was she to deny him his quest? Cirrus has seen the Sun God throw a tantrum - she did not want to think what the kindly Earth Lord might be capable of should his temper turn. She shivered as her ascension neared its completion, with images of the earth shaking, of waters rushing over the lands, of cliffs rising and lakes forming all at the whim of a God.
So she had obeyed him, she had killed for him, not once or twice or even thrice, but five times. It tore her soul apart, for a piece of her fled with each soul she aided in departing this land. Cirrus wanted to blame the God, she wanted to hate him, to scorn him --
But she couldn't.
Weary, exhausted, the girl bowed before the Sun God's broken shrine, eyes looking but barely seeing the charred remains of it. Then she turned to the Earth God's vined and flowered shrine, and knelt into a bow, sweeping her tiara low beneath her breast, feeling the dirt move from the nearness of her velvet lips. Staying low, Cirrus opens the wing that holds the token he asked of her, tokens from their corpses, aye, she recalls, lipping each one gently and placing it before the ruined shrine.
Why did they have to die? I wanted to heal them, I wanted to help them, why did they have to die? she asked as she looked at the meagre pile of offerings.
Lastly, she pulls her father's spear from within the depths of her wing, and planted it before the tokens, before bowing her head once more, and letting her tears finally fall free of her cerulean eyes once more - in remembrance of the death of her father, and companion, that she had already borne before becoming the Earth God's Grim Reaper.
Cirrus didn't hate the Earth God.
She hated herself.

Quest Drop
Task:
"You are to find five creatures who are suffering and purify their bodies in waters to help them through this pain." He watches the winged mare for a moment later and then smiled. "Once their bodies have been purified collect a token from their corpse." The Earth God gazed at the winged mare before finishing. "Return to me when you have completed this quest."
You may use NPC to play the animals or tag RE should you not be able to find anyone with the time. Each animal should be a separate thread.

Could I please ask that Cirrus be given the "Circlet of Earth (crown of gold leaf and green stones)" from my prize list from the Earth God?
ALSO; this quest REALLY messed Cirrus up. I would not be opposed if the Earth God (or if the Sun God wanted to make an appearance also lol) removed memories of exactly what she needed to do (kill) to complete the quest but leave the lesson intact. However, I understand completely if this is not possible! Thank you admin <3 C:
