Nature's Reclaim

    Boreal had made their choice, taking their tools made by themselves, their suit of armor and their bag, they were ready. Out of the cave they called home, with the scorpion branded to their arm healing, they bid goodbye to their companions and walked into the lazy morning set out to scout the land, clattering of plate and shuffling of tools marking their uneven pace across the roads, the task given to them by lioness was nothing otherworldly, an act of survival, warriorship or reclamation.

    The albino had finally come across something they could do, ridding themselves of the burden of plate and placing their lighter apron, they reach the outer gates of the forgotten and abandoned city of Freeport, with swift motions, they brought their sledge hammer above their shoulders and struck the weathered pavement…
    With a violent
crack the arid soil was exposed, once suffocated by the stony prison it lied within for so long, Boreal huffed, wiping at their forehead as sweat began running its familiar race across their visage that was the first one of many blows they would deliver, their axe sharp and sturdy was used to lob off beams of wood and collect the local saplings, acacia, juniper and cacti were the main ones present upon the unyielding desert.
    Along with algae from the ocean below, they swam upon the crystalline waters and tore the piers limb by limb, leaving the salted waters exhausted yet determined to push on the next day.

    Their hands calloused and their muscles ached as they returned to the bounds of krugmar, they pushed through, cooking, cleaning and serving so they may one day be considered one of their own, they yearned to continue their tasks as they ate, repairing their tools upon the scalding forge they were kindly allowed to use by the kin of krug.

    Boreal followed up the next days, weeks and months, destroying descendant’s creations and quickening the spread of those from the aspects, fauna seemed to return to the place it once called home, hawks, lizards and dry octopus lazily resting and living in a place where descendant-kind had rushed it away…
   
    They were not close to being done, not yet, they decided to tackle the bigger buildings next, wooden chips flying out of doors and pebbles out of forts would be repurposed by the druid. The wood turned into mulch for the land, and the rocks knapped into spears and scattered across the arid sands to give home to critters, they set a fire to the bigger structures, forcing them to the ground with little more than a hammer, rope and determination.

Once they finished such things off, they ripped the glass from windows, metal from bars, doors and hinges, all turned into something new.
    The tattooed elf had exhausted themselves in the heat, using their gifts to encourage flora to develop they collapsed to the ground, dirt in their mouth that they spat out soon afterwards, their skin was burnt by the sun, however, as soon as they looked up from their stupor, they saw something beautiful…
They saw their work had paid off, the shrieking of hawks, the chitter of meerkats and many other critters filled their ears, they grin, painstakingly getting up from where they lied and lighting a cigarette, sitting down under a juniper tree as they merely murmured.


    “Ash to ash and dust to dust… Nature has reclaimed it all.”
