The treehouse was huge. Like... really. The large oak tree's hull was carved into a perfectly oval and large cave, with some hammocks hanging on the inside, and a small table on the middle of the room. There was by far space enough for them three. Elanor placed Regalis on one of the hammocks softly, then stopped for a moment. Had his eyes just flickered open for a second?
She rubbed the sleepiness off her eyes. The 'gift' was weakening her, she was growing too tired. She opened one of the cupboards, carved directly from the tree's wood, and took out a little silver bottle, which contained a transparent liquid. She opened its lid and drank a gulp. Immediately, fire raced through her veins and she felt more awoken than before. Good, because that night she wouldn't sleep.
Outside, sunset tainted the sky like spilled raspberry juice, whisps of bright red and orange mixing with golden and dark blue in the sky. The trees around looked like no more than dark shadows, blurs in the setting evening. Elanor sighed as the beautiful sight faded into night, and the moon shone like a bright, round silver coin someone had lost up in there, between the clouds.
The early spring's mists rose silently like souls haunting the treehouse, but Elanor's fears were much more solid than ghosts. In a jump, she got up from the hammock she had been sitting on, almost taking down the small table at its side. ''Dream'' she hissed low. ''We're being watched.''
((Dunno why, all my RPs have a treehouse XD ))
