Fields of Black Grain Idia, Helena Hymn& - - -
------------------------------------------------------------ The wind blew through the golden landscapes of grain along the farmers horizon when the birds began chirping. A day had just begun and while it was still young the land was sweeping to life. Farmers were out in their fields hours ago tending and pulling at their knowledge. Even the roads were bare this late in the morning, a large contrast to that of any other town. The roads were narrow and rand crookedly through the landscape, the only time they saw order is when the land began growing green closer to Idia, the holy city of Helena.
Hymn found himself leaning on a thing fencepost as he looked out to the fields of grain waving to the farmers curiously. No one gave him a second look like they did in town and he stood highly because of it. He wore a great presence this morning as his journey to the temple of Idia grew shorter. Nothing had weighed him down today, the wind had remained calm and mother nature's fury at low. It was a journey from Faleen that brought him to this sacred town, and amongst the fields he now felt at rest.
Letting his grip on the fence go the teenage dust pivoted gracefully on his heals and took to walking again. He walked quietly along the path humming to himself a lullaby he'd heard a mother sing to her child one time. It was peaceful and fit his plesant mood at the moment. Hymn didn't think human land could ever look peaceful and so in-tune with their greener sides.
He smiled to himself as he was reminded about Sojo's work in his own garden beneath the house, how the god worked day and night to grow food Hymn had never thought of eating. His guardian was always in the kitchen or in his garden, hardly ever finding rest in any other part of the house. Perhaps that's why his room never opened, it was never used.
Hymn just smiled and continued walking, tipping his body slightly to every couple that passed him. People here seemed to walk with their loved one's often. The dust's mind pushed back in the past to his journey with Cada and remembering his teenage self, he smiled and blushed a little at the thought, tipping his head in embarrassment.
With his mind empty Hymn finally reached the Holy City and walked down the transforming paths as they changed into cobblestone. All throughout the streets a sort of magical tune carried through and even the people all seemed at peace with themselves. However, the streets were decorated for something, but what?
He only walked and looked at the hanging flags and booths along the streets slowing when he came to town square, seeing the hill up to the temple. This seemed to be the largest city, even though it was so small.

"Sitara." The child answered, fiddling with her hat - bangs of hair, each colored different, much like a darker rainbow, where falling out from where they had previously been carefully hidden, in some kind of bun under the large brown hat. "My daddy's over there." She informed, pointing toward Silver, who was chatting with one of the nearby merchant, unaware of what had just gone on.
The star dust paused for a moment, then peered up again, curiosity having remplaced her faint annoyance before. "Why do you wear that ?" She asked, gesturing toward his face - more accurately, his mask. "It's pretty, though. Where did you get it ?"
Maybe she could ask for one from her daddy... Though she had honestly no idea how Hymn even saw where he was going with it on.

"Well, there is one closeby, I believe... It would depend on what you prefer. I do know the city rather well by now - I used to come around often, but I had to slow down a little on traveling.
The two lead the walk, and when Silver went to open his mouth again, he was interrupted.
"This one, dad ! Please ? Pretty please ?!" Pastries were, after all, very tasty things that Sitara adored. The dust pretty much adored everything full of sugar as is.
"I figure we're found the place, then. The dark-skinned man gave a chuckle, and held the door open for the dusts to come inside.

Sitara had, indeed, basically bounced though the store and had found a table before the older dust and her father could come in themselves, sitting on one of the chairs and waving at the two males so that they would see her. She seemed definitively like a bold, energetic child.
Silver followed and sat beside her, accepting the menus when they were given to him. "Are you sure ? I do not mind paying in the least... since it was my daughter that ran into you after all." He winked.
"Dad !" The young dust pouted. "I didn't run into him ! I... tripped ! Yeah !" Anything to hide the fact that she had not been paying attention, as she usually did. Her father seemed to remain unconvinced.
When it came time to order, Silver ordered a slice of apple pie with the drink of the day, and Sitara went for chocolate cake, and a glass of milk.
"We initially came to visit a friend of mine, but I figured we might as well stay for the festival while we're here. Sitara has never been here to see it."
"She's kinda annoying..."
"Sita..."
"She keeps trying to braid my hair !" The girl made a face.
