The many trees that plague everywhere in Eridanus, that also somewhat obscure the large mushroom in the centre of it all stand tall and strong as always and appear to be entirely undisturbed. But on further inspection on one particular tree that an almost fully grown Gembound was once standing against on a while back in their hope to meet with someone to get answers about something that may have happened in the past lies something in their stead. At the trunk of that tree or specifically its roots beneath them lay a dull looking but warm stone, although it was beneath the roots it wasn't trapped or wedged between the tree and ground, if the stone was more spherical it could easily roll out from its hiding place and into the open area of Eridanus. It was almost like the stone was being safely cradled by the roots by making it invisible somewhat to the naked eye, not to add with it being dull it blends in well with the shade from the tree and thus hard to find from many potential dangers.

From inside was the same Gembound who was originally standing by this said tree from way back then, it's unknown how this came of him, the best possible conclusion was possibly his somewhat dimming health, he was never fatally ill or anything, but one too many haunting disasters and partaking in something terrible themselves begun to plague in their dreams. and so back then the Gembound started to stop sleeping until they felt that their goal was fulfilled or generally something that would help numb the trauma. That eventually took a negative toll as when he just relaxed on that tree in wait for that particular Gembound, he very quickly dropped to sleep and since he hadn't slept in ages his slumber went on for a long while, he was basically hibernating at that point and that's when his physical form dissipated of sorts and like the time when he was about to be emerged a chrysalis formed once again as he went into a literal hibernation.

Right now he's still in slumber, and for the first time in ages he's in a peaceful slumber and it's just as comfortably warm inside the chrysalis as it feels on the outside. But it seems that some force decided that he's had his time to rest as a loud crack was heard from it and many fissures begun to lattice around the surface of it and it quickly breaks apart.

...Huh... He would've thought he died or something, now he's back in Eridanus. Steadily keeping his now fully grown body balanced, Albeon thinks through about things, hoping to recall the many things that have happened to him before in order to get back on track. Well he tries but... Besides what he did with the cat which he will attempt to make up for still, no matter the circumstances the other things where he was the victim of he is kind of drawing a blank... Well not really that would mean amnesia, that's not really it, he can recall them... It's just... It feels like they happened centuries ago even though he doubts he's been sleeping for that long, memories start to blur away and weaken as time goes by.

It's probably for the better, they weren't pleasant memories, they say memories are precious, but some should stay forgotten. Finally, ... He can once again sleep peacefully. Still there are still some other things to think of now... It's time to reflect on things... Without the negative memories clouding his judgement too much.

Side Notes: All are welcome in this I want to get my muse back with Albeon here by having him finally going through the last phase of his character development in this thread before I do plotting with him : )

"Listen I'm speaking right now!"

And that's a good thing...
It means there's hope and potential in one's Future.

It's so damned strange Albeon was previously a Gembound who was so engulfed with indomitable rage as the caves continued to 'defy' him. Well not that specifically, he generally was just filled with so many negative emotions... Bitterness, hate, anger & depression. But right here and right now he's... Calm & relaxed, like that things are going to be OK, such foreign feelings for him to have after so long.

Which might actually be true... The one who tried to kill him when he first came to be Mosi: he doesn't believe he has seen in ages, so maybe he and others are safe from the likes of him. The vision he had from way back when is completely blurry now... the best he can recall from it was the factor that it was on fire. There was the cat still... He does recall that, but he's not going to brush that memory away, that was his fault and it's about time he makes things up for it instead of trying to do all these weird pipe dreams. He has been safeguarding the last remnants of them which is their Gem from other potential dangers.

Speaking... is it still with him right now? This place... Eridanus looks different a bit. For one the temperature is a lot warmer than before and the trees just seem to be standing tall more so than before? Looking inside the tree he was just in he carefully pecked at the ground until he felt his beak tapping something very solid.

This must be it.

Carefully Albeon grabbed a corner of the Gem with his wings and tugged it backwards. When he got both of them out of the tree where there's more light Albeon could now see what he was doing better, he picked the Gem up with his beak and carefully tucked it into his scarf, giving it a few nudges to ensure it stays in place. Looks good... But the scarf itself... Looking over it at the ends of it, he took note of some water dripping off it. He picked at the damp scarf a bit to inspect it a bit more and being rather irked at the results. The water makes the scarf uncomfortable to wear and it may make the Gem slipping out of the scarf quite possible.

Well now that's a pain in the ass... Sigh. Taking the Gem off his scarf and putting it aside he untied the scarf off his neck and decided the quickest and easiest way to dry it will perhaps be by his Magick. Good way to ensure he isn't out of practice after all this time and all. He checks to see if it works, previously he used his Magick in a very impulse manner, he always expected it to react along with him accordingly who knows? Maybe him pulling at his Magick too fast is why it kept on screwing up? Almost like how a car seatbelt jams when one pulls on it too fast in a way.

And so with that he ran a small current of Magick through his Gem, intending to give the scarf a small few nudges with his Spell before deciding to lift it up to see if it does in fact work.

The corvid narrowed his eyes, and kept them locked onto the scarf. Albeon’s eyes and Gem started to glow purple and a purple light of the same colour encircled around the scarf as it was lifted into the air. To Albeon’s surprise, this taking it slow with his Magick is working out a lot better than expected, initially he was just going to whip the scarf in the air a few times to get rid of the water, but he can see it when he lifted it in the air… The small droplets of water on the scarf started to detach from it completely. The fully grown raven gazed at the hovering beads of water with barely concealed excitement, which also made him feel relief. Later down the lines when he was training Magick it worked for him less and less, nice to see things are just fine now. When he'd gotten all the leftover vapour he jerked the motions of his Telekinesis Spell on the scarf to wrap it back around his neck and carefully fixed his scarf when it was situated around his neck before letting go of the scarf with his Spell allowing it to lay naturally on his back, then he made the water still in the Spell’s grip combine and shape together into a tiny ball of sorts. He immediately drifted it over to a random spot a bit further away from him and let it fall of its own accord making a tiny bit of rain.

Satisfied he picked the Gem back up and it slipped it back into his now dry scarf. Continuing on Eridanus to see what he has missed out on. Funny he doesn't know what he's doing really, and yet... He seems OK with that... Weird.
