Lana : "let's get going.. we can't stay here"
she said as she stood up from the
ground , her legs shaky and tired but she knows she has too push through
Swans face was full of worry..
Lana : are you okay swan?
She stroked swans head gently
Swan didn't say anything she just kept avoiding eye contact
Lana : let's find somewhere to settle for the night .. and then we can talk about what the heck happened back there
they moved forwards into the forest
, walked a lot and found a river ..
Swan jumped in the river and fully immersed herself in the water
"aaaah this feels good"
She dipped her head inside the water
then lifted it quickly
"Lana .. this river has a lot of Consumabilia" she shouted in excitement.
đź“– COSUMBAILIA are entities that solely exist to be consumed, eaten and hunted.
They come in different forms and can be found in many different places in this world
Every creature can recognise a consumabilia solely from their essence
Lana's facial expression instantly switched from exhaustion into excitement
" I'm begging you!! hunt some for me with you , you know I can't dive!.."
Swan : heh.. what's in it for me?
Lana : umm.. I.. oh! I will do night watch today and you can sleep
Swan : heh.. fine then imma get
plenty for you
She dove into the water to hunt a few consumabilia that were roaming beneath her.
As she swam deeper, the water began to feel lighter rather than thicker, as it normally would.
A variety of water creatures and consumabilia had gathered around a spot that glowed with a soft, steady light.
Like moths drawn to a flame, they floated in stillness, mesmerized.
She dove deeper toward the light, pushing through the crowd of creatures.
And then, she reached its source.
It was a person floating still in the water
His eyes like diamonds with a hint of blue , sleepy yet open , his hair and cloths like silk dancing in the waters still melody
His hair roots icey blue then turning into night blue and finally black
Swan then swam back to the surface carrying a bunch of consumabilia in her mouth …
She went on the ground , sat beside Lana and spat the consumabilia.
Swan : bon appétit
Lana's facial expression twisted into one of pure disgust
đź“– once a consumabilia is caught it stops moving and morphs into the shape of a pearl with mystical patterns
Lana : ughhh lemme just wash it from your saliva
As lana was coming closer to the rivers water swan shouted "NOO"
Lana looked at swan and raised an eyebrow .. then she continued to wash them
As she was crouching towards the water she sensed an essence…
And saw a faint light dancing deep in the water…
Swan : come on quickly let's go!
She started pulling Lana from her cloth
—Without a word Lana threw herself into the water plunging towards the light..
The moment she got closer to the the light all the creatures that were surrounding the person scattered away
Their eyes met and his once sleepy eyes widened
She stared encnahnted by its beauty
He then closed his eye as if he lost consciousness
She hurriedly dragged the person to the surface
She pulled him towards the riverbank
Then She layed down on the floor gasping for air
Swan looked utterly annoyed
" you can't dive huh" she said sarcastically
What do you think your doing?
Lana : … this person .. (panting)
Has a similar essence to your kind
We could ask him if he can help us get to the "eclipse forest"
đź“– the eclipse forest is a mystical hidden forest that the forces of the shadows cannot enter
In this forest resides variety of creatures however the major two are
~Swans and flames~
swans are like the calm while flames are volatile
So Lana was saying that this person has essence of a creature that belongs in that forest just like swan
Lana and swan destination is this forest
Swan : gave Lana a deadpan stare
They both turned their eyes to the person laying down unconscious
Swan : no.. uh what if he causes trouble ? What if he is with the shadows?
We can't afford to let our guard down!
Lana : easy swan…. Your not normally this freaked out , this makes me want to test your patience even more
(she chuckled)
Lana leaned forward to look at the persons face , he had his slightly wet hair covering his face
Lana : weird.. how is his hair only slightly wet
She tilted her head slightly, curiosue and amazed—like a child seeing something for the first time
She lifted her hands and removed his hair of his eyes—then he opened his eyes—staring into hers
… her hands froze
Swan : ughh i wanna poke these eyes…she looked at him from the corners of her eyes—annoyed
Person : chuckles slightly* … I guess your swan is jealous
….silence…
Lana : may we know your name…?
"Zai—my name is Zairis"
