xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    { Armuris } { Adrienne } { female }

      Adrienne had always had a bit of adventure in her. Thanks to her family who always encouraged her to be everything she wanted to be and more. Because of these words of encouragement throughout her life, Adrienne had decided to spend her entire high school career training for this. Now it was time for the true test of her abilities. Adrienne was going to climb Devil’s Tower. One of the steepest and most deadly climbs in North America. It isn’t even ranked as a mountain, but rather just a steep incline. Very few ever attempt to scale the side. Most people choose to sit at the sidelines and just admire the massive rock.

      With a few phone calls and her parents’ permission, Adrienne had arranged to be allowed to try to scale the Tower. Her dreams did rely on this monumental heap. Yes, she had all the love and encouragement from others, but she always had difficulty truly believing in herself. This was her turning point.

      ---------------------------

      Eventually the day came when Adrienne would finally get to accept her challenge. She had bought a plane ticket and packed her bag with pretty much only her essentials and her climbing gear. She had called a cab directly from the airport to take her to Devil’s Tower. They had already prepared her a room to keep her stuff and to change so that she may prepare: both mentally and physically.

      Nervousness and fear began to set in as she realized that this was going to be one of the biggest make it or break it moments of her life. Adrienne set about finally prepping her harness and strapping herself in. Now all that was left was to strap herself in to the rope hanging from the tower itself. “Well here goes nothing,” she thought to herself as she left her room and met the guide who would be taking her to her climbing section.

      The guide was quiet most of the way. By the majority, the entire way. The only thing he said was how to instruct on securing the rope the best way for this climb. Once the rope was secured, the guide gave her a thumbs up and cracked a smile before walking away. It was officially time for the beginning of this adventure… Now to start climbing.

adventure
    em always knew he was off. it was clear in the looks his father caius gave him - there was something tucked neatly underneath the smile, a slight wrinkle crossing his brows and a faint grit in cai's teeth when he told him how much he looked like moose.

    and sure, it's not like their family was ever normal in the first place - atticus' smile heals kalons more than the placebo herbs she crushes and isolde memorizes scripts just as adeptly as she memorizes surgical procedures. and chamomile - chamomile'd wandered off to do their own thing a while ago.

    but this is different. when atty bounces up to cai with an abandoned baby bird or isi performs a new piece she'd been working on, cai's delighted laugh is sunshine-bright. when em comes bearing the quilt each of his students helped create, a cloud rolls across caius' expression even as he praises him.

    home isn't home anymore, emmett realizes.

    something has to change, so emmett packs his life into boxes and wishes this years' students goodbye, only tearing up a little when one hands him a crushed origami "bird" as a farewell gift. it's as wonderful as his students are, but there's plenty of other good teachers in alma middle. they don't need him.

    it's when emmett first reaches his new house that he realizes he might not have thought this all the way through. he'd heard the way kalons talked about the town of shiloh - the town held together only by failing hopes and forgotten cobwebs, the town inhabited only by those who were too stubborn to leaven when ilodia national park was founded, the town no one good ever comes from. the town where he now lives.

    but he's here now, standing on the creaky porch of a house (his house, he realizes with a start) that he doesn't entirely trust not to cave in under his paws. emmett's starting to wonder just what exactly compelled him to move again as he pushes open the door - and is hit with the unmistakable smell of burnt chocolate chip cookies.

    "hey! you made it!" pipes a cheerful voice from what must be the kitchen. "took you long enough!"

    "atty?" emmett says, surprised.

    "hey! i tried to make cookies so the house would smell nice but, uh..." atticus trails off sheepishly.

    emmett grins. atty was a terrible cook.

    "anyways, the fireplace is cleared out now if you wanna start a fire and maybe incinerate these cookie-shaped rocks. i'm gonna head to the store and buy some proper junk food. holler if you need me!" atty turns as she walked through the door. "also, look on your bed."

    belatedly, emmett wonders how she'd gotten into his house in the first place. pushing the question aside, he wanders through the rooms until he reaches the bedroom. there are a small package and a single envelope placed on the bed, crumpled on the edges in a way that told him atty must have delivered it. knowing her, it's probably a coupon for the nearest pizza place.

    picking it up, em is startled to see that it's not atty's messy scrawl, but a neat cursive emblazoning the envelope with his name. caius' handwriting? no, it couldn't be.

    emmett opens the envelope carefully. the note inside is typed - a sure sign that cai was, in fact, the author.

    dear emmett,

    hope your trip up the mountain was good. i remember the first time my parents and i drove up to shiloh - your grandmother covered her eyes on every curve.


    emmett inhales shakily, remembering all the times he had asked about his grandparents and received only silence.

    her eyes looked so much like yours - have i ever told you that? you may have moose's tail and your grandfather's green, but your eyes are all hers. it always startled me when you were little - you'd gaze up at me with those big eyes and it was like she was back with me again.

    i see her in you still when you work with your students. the kids up in shiloh need you, emmett. i'm so proud of you heading out on your own adventure.


    suddenly, caius' affected expressions made a lot more sense.

    i regret that you never got the chance to meet her, but i hope that you can see pieces of her in the town of shiloh. i've sent along the book i read when i first left home - i hope you enjoy it just as much as i did.

    your loving father,
    caius


    emmett opens the package with shaking paws. inside rests a worn but carefully preserved copy of the secret garden. he opens the cover carefully, noting the signature red binding stitching of caius' preservation work. the nameplate is filled out messily in crayon - lilias rubens.

    his grandmother.

    paws still trembling, emmett picks up the phone and dials. "hey, dad? thanks."

    he's made it home.
