Adventures and Studies.

((I have not written in a formal way in almost 12 years, I have forgotten alot of proper writing tecniques and such. Hopefully as the college semester progresses I will become familiar again and my writings will become better. This will be an ongoing place for me to add on to this story, which is simply some of Ava's adventures while she travels and studies the local areas and people))

Avanthris steps out of the Dion warehouse where she had been organizing her belongings and retrieving a few scrolls. The smell of fresh grass and cooking fires assaults her senses. This small open air town is so charming, yet she cannot seem to bring herself to feel comfortable here. She has experienced being shunned and a curiosity in almost all towns, but this one is the worst so far in her travels.

Avanthris pulls her collar a little closer around her shoulders, in the process of which she drops and armload of scrolls and parchments she was carrying. A small human female jumps out of the way just in time to avoid Ava's possesions crashing to the ground. Ava bends and starts to retrieve the items from the ground, muttering to herself "The people of these lands can be so rude, that girl didn't think to even offer to help!". She slowly stands up, precariously balancing her armload of items as she tries to brush the dirt from her knees.

As she makes her way to the Temple at the edge of town she looks up and realizes it is starting to get dark, "Maybe that is why I feel so worn out and tired" she mutters under her breath. She steps into the ancient stone Temple, the air is refreshingly cooler here but there is the musty scent often associated with places such as this. Glancing around briefly inside, she notices a small table in the corner and gratefully drops her armload of scrolls and parchments upon it. Although she has not had the most warm of welcomes in these lands, she is fascinated by the people and places. Her goal is to study and absorb as much information as she can gather, maybe it will help her own race someday. As she visits each new town or villiage she makes a visit to the local Temple. The priests in the Temples are usually a tad more tolerant and friendly, making it a more comfortable place for Ava to start gathering her information to study. Even though these places of worship do not harbor any resemblance to her own beliefs, they usually offer a wealth of information on the local area.
