Personal Log #10 - [Action/Accidental Video] A return to innocence...

[Spock blinks awake... but then shuts his eyes again as the wave of disorientation hits him. People and events crowd into his mind in no logical order... leaving gaping holes in his memories.

Logically, he can safely assume that something has happened to him. He's hurt, alone... and his normally eidetic memory is off... Indeed, something has definitely happened to him.

Opening his eyes once more, he takes in his surroundings... his tiny hand reaches out and takes the journal that is laying innocently beside him.
It's a familiar book, almost as if it's from a distant memory... but he cannot remember how or why it's here... or where he is for that matter. But he does recognize these trees... He's definitely been here before.
Opening the journal's pages, he doesn't realize that he has activated the 'video'... Anyone who is listening in will see the bruised face of an eight year old boy... with a familiar bowl cut, slanted eyebrows, and pointed ears.
Spock stares at the book for awhile, trying hard to place it within his memory... then shuts it. Standing, and fighting off another wave of disorientation... Spock makes his way slowly towards civilization.]

ooc: Meet 8 year old Spock, who is lost and confused as to where he is. If your CR with him is strong enough, he may recognize you, and recall some events... he just won't recall everything clearly. All answers to posts will be coming from my other account:

Feel free to bump into Spock as he wandering aimlessly around town, trying to find his way home.. or at least a familiar face. If he does find a familiar face, expect him to tag along like a duckling.
Also, feel free to grab Spock's attention through the journal, he will be very inquisitive about the entire phenomenon. Cheers m'dears! ^_^

[Spock stumbles near the stream..... and is surprised to see a male..

...human.
Spock approaches hesitantly.]

Excuse me? What is the name of this location?

[Eley stops his game when he hears the voice and turns to see who was speaking. Naturally he could assume it was a child from the sound of that voice but when he saw the kid himself... he realised there was something very familiar about him.

Was that really who he thought it was? The Spirit seemed to regard the child for some time, looking him over curiously, trying to make up his mind.]

This is Luceti. Have you... not been here before?

[Spock approaches the man... and tugs on his sleeve.... his face scrunched in concentration.]

I know you... but I am very confused. My apologies.

Can you help me? I am...lost.

[Eley's still as he approaches and allows him some time to focus on him, touch him if that's what he wanted. His words only seemed to confirm his thoughts more however. If he knows him... then perhaps this really was the same person.]

You are Spock... yes? Since the Malnosso took you some time ago I can only assume that this is the effect it had upon your return. You have... returned to a younger age.

[But that wouldn't help the poor kid now, would it? Would it be best to return him home despite his altered state? Perhaps. He gets to his feet now and turns to the boy.]

I can walk with you to the village if it will help. I am Eleytheria. Do you remember that name?

An effect?

Younger age?

[Spock was silent for a moment... then held his head as another wave of disorientation hit him. The memories were not making any logical sense...

Spock tried to breath...

Eleytheria... he knew that name. Spock looked up at the other man.] Yes... I know you. But at the same time I do not know you...

I would like for you to walk with me...

[Eley noted that disorientation and thought it better not to try to explain things to him. It would only make things even more confusing, he felt.]

Do not worry, your safety is more important at this time. Please, come with me. [He looks around a moment before starting to walk away, slowly so Spock could follow.

After a moment, he speaks again. He can't help but be curious about how this transformation seems to be effecting his memory.]

May I ask what the last thing you remember is before you arrived here?

[A blush of frustration bloomed across Spock's cheeks as he tried to concentrate and pinpoint the last thing he remembered...

... he couldn't]

I do not know... I both know you and do not know you Mister Eleytheria...

My.. head hurts.

[Spock stopped... staring at the ground.]

... [Eley paused when he realised that the boy had stopped moving. He looked at him, a little concerned now. He really had no memory about his kidnapping? But there were still fragments from before that. He still seemed to recognise him in some small way.

Eley wasn't exactly the best at comforting people and though he liked them he didn't know much about how to interact with children either. But he couldn't leave him standing like that... so he came back and crouched in front of Spock.]

If it hurts, do not try to reclaim your memories with thought alone. We will go from here and rebuild them as time passes, yes? You will be experiencing things all the time. Perhaps they will prompt your old memories.

[Or this would wear off eventually... or perhaps he would be stuck like this, in which case he would have to start again. Eley hoped that wouldn't happen...]

[Spock made a noncommittal sound... and in an emotional display, the young Vulcan leaned into Eleytheria, wrapping his small arms around the other man's neck.

His muffled voice was sad...]

I am sorry....

[It surprised him that the boy was suddenly latching onto him like that. It surprised him even more that he was apologising to him. It was then he realised that this encounter was beginning to stir memories of his own... He thought a moment, and gently hugged him back.]

Why are you sorry? This is not your fault. You have nothing to fear.

[He realised him again at that and stood, turning his back to him, but looking back as he spoke.]

Would you prefer to walk or would you like a ride? [He offered.]

[Spock's face was bright green with frustration and embarrassment... staring at the ground.

But he looked up at the question.]

Ride? What do you mean?

[Now it was Eley's time to blush a little. He wouldn't normally offer something like this but... well... perhaps today would be an exception.]

On my back. I am sure humans sometimes carry children on their back to rest their weary feet.

[Spock takes a hesitant step forward... then nods.]

I am... amenable to that suggestion... Thank you Eleytheria.

[He gives a nod back, bending his knees slightly and gesturing to him.]

Then jump up onto my back and hold on. I will not let you fall.

[Spock only hesitates for a moment... then he is climbing onto Eley's back.. wrapping his small arms around his neck.

He trusts this person... He wants to know why.]

Thank you.

[Eley hoists the boy up onto his back and keeps a hold on his legs so he doesn't fall off now. This was still rather surreal... and not something he would do for anyone he met. But... children were always different, he found. He didn't mind their company so much.

Even if they were technically someone he already knew.

The Spirit starts to walk through the forest now, heading for the village.]

...is there anything else you wish to know about Luceti? Or... about myself?

[Luceti... Spock definitely knew this place. But there was one thing he was curious about.]

Who are you? Are we friends? Why are you friends with me? [Spock didn't have friends... so he was dubious as to why anyone would want to.]

[They weren't quite the questions he was expecting...]

I am... a Wind Spirit from another world. Myself and numerous others have been brought to Luceti. It is an interesting place to meet new people.

And yes, we are friends. Does there need to be a specific reason as to why? I have learned to trust you and you have taught me many things. You have also assisted me when I was in trouble. You respect me. I feel as though we get along well together.

[Spock's lips twitch in a small smile as his arms tighten a little around Eley's neck.
It's an almost hug.]

That is... most acceptable. I find myself... glad.
Wind Spirit?

...yes... [Spock's eyes grow distant.] You are a god.... correct?

[He feels that slight tightening. He's not sure if it was just a tension to stabilise himself or an actual embrace of sorts, but either way he can't help but blush slightly.

Given his words he can only assume the latter. He gives a nod at his question.]

Humans are the ones who gave me that title but... yes I am a god to them. In truth I am a Spirit, a being born to take care of the planet I originally reside in. Being a Wind Spirit, I take care of the skies.

Dragon....

[Spock says that out of apparently nowhere... But it was a flash of a memory that he had in relation to this man. Spock remembers a great, white dragon... and a ride that he would never forget.]

[Dragon? That does catch him off guard a little but it also pleases him that the memory of their meeting in slightly different circumstances hadn't disappeared entirely. It meant the rest of those memories could likely resurface as well.]

Yes... I was also a dragon in the past. It is the form I usually take when showing myself to humans. [He reminds the boy.] You flew with me once... it was a good day.

Yes... I...

I remember.

[Spock scrunched up his face again. It was difficult to recall all these memories. So he finally decided to just lay his head down on Eley's shoulders.
He was tired.]

It was fascinating.

It is good that you remember something. I am sure the rest will come back to you in time.

[The sudden weight of the child leaning against him like that is unexpected however, and causes Eley to pause, though they aren't far from the village.]

Are you all right?

Vulcans pride themselves for having the ability to organize their eidetic minds and maintain perfect recall.

This... lapse of memory is rather..

...tiring.

[That was a lot of big words for a little kid... but he was Vulcan, so we'll excuse him. It was also a long way of saying 'I'm tired.']
