Quote:
 A poem written for Cyana's mother Cymosa by Meadowtouch (ixris/26035) "Of Things Beautiful" Every flower's head will fall For us Time comes In rivers fast And tides run slow There may be No tomorrow but crafted beauty Etched forever in Hearts Stained with our memories When she dies- For it is 'when' surely- Let them remember her With seed and stalk With petal bright With oak bent patiently In mimicry of wind Let them remember her As a maker Of things beautiful

Cyana's mother, Cymosa, was a kind and gentle Imperial who knew that her health would not last. She spent her lifetime building and caring for a breathtaking garden as a way to leave behind something beautiful and good as a memorial for herself. Cyana was born in her mother's last clutch of eggs, laid when she could feel her strength fading. The sight of Cyana's subdued, muddy colored wings was a sobering sign to the clan that Cymosa was right about how little time she had left. She spent that time teaching Cyana to tend the garden, passing on a lifetime's worth of knowledge both mundane and magic in the field of growing things. A clever and curious sort of girl, she loved soaking up every bit of her mother's lessons, too excited to be learning so much every day to dwell on the sadness of the future. But when the time came that Cyana was finally left to tend the great garden alone, it felt... wrong. This place that had once felt like a monument to beauty, a joyful playground of life, immediately changed to feel like a silent and deserted building despite the riot of color and life all around. Flowerbeds that Cyana had previously weeded and picked from freely now seemed fragile as paper. It was as though anything she touched might ruin on her mother's final masterpiece. The gardens felt haunted and she walked through them as an anxious stranger. Worse, she didn't want to avoid gardening all together- she wanted to try new things. Experiment. Toy with seeds and sprouts to see if she could invent new hybrids, new colors, new scents and shapes- things that would be innocent enough with normal plants, but felt like blasphemy to think about your mother's memorial treasures. She tried to tough it out, hoping that the sense of wrongness would wear off and let her embrace the task her mother and the whole clan had given her, but weeks turned into months and it was all she could do to maintain the garden without cringing every time she touched a plant. The answer to her prayers came in the form of bright, excitable Skydancer named Isotta. She had a passion for locations with interesting stories behind them and had heard rumors of a wondrous Imperial memorial garden thriving on the ground and in the branches of the Labyrinth's massive trees. The riot of life in the garden took the Skydancer's breath away. Her first visit was followed by a second, a third, and eventually with her just begging permission to stay over for days at a time. She seemed to want to memorize every single leaf and petal, to soak up every story Cyana could tell her about her mother and why she had done things the way she had. For the first time the garden felt actually alive again, memories and thoughts of Cymosa filling the quiet green place. It was weird, not to feel guilty when she offered to turn the garden over to Isotta's care. Shouldn't she have felt guilty? Here was her mother's legacy, the great treasure she had spent her lifetime crafting, handed down to her daughter, and here the daughter was passing it off to someone she'd only known for a few months. But instead she just felt... free. Satisfied. Certain that Isotta and her mother would have been the best of friends- and that she wouldn't have wanted her daughter to spend an unhappy life in her mother's shadow. The only difficulty is the fact that Isotta was born to Light's magic, not Nature's. To bridge that gap Cyana and Isotta both carry a staff crafted from wood especially chosen to be porous to magic. Cyana takes time each day to charge hers up, filling it with Nature energy like water trickling into a jar, and once it's ready she trades her newly filled one for Isotta's used up empty one. It's not ideal, but along with Isotta's well studied knowledge of plants it's enough to help her keep the greenery just as happy as they would be with a Nature aligned gardenkeeper. And Cyana... well, Cyana has her own garden now. It's smaller, it changes all the time, the plants don't match in color and scent nearly so well, and at any given time a third of it is either scorched from some new alchemy that's been tested on it or has been newly transplanted into glass jars for transport her worktable. It's an eyesore, and she couldn't be happier. Casually written lore update: Isotta and her spouse Elian decided, after a long term of tending to Cymosa's garden, that they were ready to move on to working in the gardens of the Gladekeeper herself. They were afraid to say so for a long time, staying longer than they wanted to- because who would take over after they left?- but when they finally spoke up everyone was surprised and relieved to find that Cymosa's daughter Cyana was ready to take over. The Nocturne still likes to experiment with plants, but she has her own garden for that, and watching others care for her mother's memorial for such a long while took the fearsome edge off of feeling like everything there was untouchable. |
