Prologue

It was bright and sunny day, with blue sky and fluffy white clouds, yet a white fog far in the distance surround the area as though it wasn't real. Little critters grazing on the grass and singing in the trees as two young kids ran down the hill of a meadow. Reaching the bottom, a little human boy and a little girl with wings fell over laughing into a field of flowers. They laid there for a bit before the girl looked up at the sky, noticing the once blue sky turning to the same familiar white fog that was in the distance,"Oh, it looks like morning is coming already." She said as she sat up before looking over at the boy,"See you tomorrow night?" She asked him softly. The boy turned his head and smiled in her direction,"Yeah, of course!" He said. The fog covered everything in white before there was nothing.
※※※
The boy opened his eyes to find himself waking up in his bed, just like every morning, as the rising sun peeked through the windows. He lived in a little town called Thistlewood. It wasn't well known, and there was a lot of mystery to this town to those that knew of it and those that lived there. You see, the town was mostly surrounded by a forest, and there's a rumor going around that if you enter those woods, you'll disappear. And if you don't disappear, you return with no knowledge of what happened after walking in, as well as completely forgetting something - or someone - very special to you. People have come up with all sorts of theories as to why this happens, but no one knows for sure. The boy got up and went about his day, but couldn't wait for it to be nightfall again. He didn't have many friends in the town, and soon started to dream about a friend - a little fairy girl - for about the last month or so. Everything felt so real in those bright and vivid dreams, but he was fairly certain that it was all in his imagination. After all, fairies weren't real, and he certainly didn't know any girls like the one he dreamt about. As the day began to come to a close and nighttime came, the boy eagerly got ready for bed before closing his eyes to sleep, hoping to return to that beautiful dream once again.
※※※
Just as he hoped, the boy was back in the green meadows, staring up at the blue sky. The fog was once again gone far in the distance. The boy smiled as he sat up and stretched his arms before quickly realizing something. The little girl was no where to be seen. She was always there, poking his cheek and smiling down at him as he woke up,"Maybe she's playing hide-n-seek?" He wondered as he got up to his feet. He began to look for his fairy friend for a while before noticing that he found himself inside of a forest, and it was quite quiet,"That's odd. I've never dreamt this place before." The boy continued to walk before suddenly he heard the sound of weeping. The boy ran deeper into the woods, following the sound. It wasn't long till he found the little girl on the ground crying,"Hey! What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked as he ran over before placing a hand on her back. He froze. His hand felt a wet and warmth feeling on her back, only to look at his hand to find it red,"What's going on? Come on, talk to me!" The forest around them began to grow dark with a red glow, and the little girl finally realized that the boy was there. Panicked, she shoved him away from her, fear and tears in her eyes,"G-Go! Get out of the forest! Stay out of the forest!" She cried out before everything went black.
※※※
The boy woke up with a jolt in his bed, beads of sweat on his forehead. After regaining his breath, he looked out the window to see that it was still night and the moonlight pouring in,"A nightmare..? Forest...?" He whispered as he tried to wrap his head around what he had dreamt. After feeling calm enough, the boy went back to sleep, but he never dreamt of that place again.

※ Welcome to the Mystic Realm ※

The Mystic Realm is a place that lies outside of the human world, but connected through portals. Here, the realm is filled with magical creatures of all kinds! Fairies, elves, beastmen, mermaids, dragons, goblins, ogres, vampires, and so much more. While there is a kingdom or region for every species and race, the fairies have multiple, different kingdoms for different elements and powers. But like in any world, not every kingdom gets along, and there's bound to be some trouble that follows.

Gender: Male
Age: 24
Species: Human in the human realm, Fairy in the mystic realms.
Appearance: Suho is quite tall, standing at 6'4", and has quite the toned, muscular build. He's got light skin with a complexion that is as smooth as porcelain, and no tattoos or piercings. He has a singular and very faint freckle on the right side of his neck, close to his collarbone. His eyes are a deep, coffee brown, and his hair is chocolate brown - though, sometimes he will dye it raven black, light brown, or sometimes fun colors like silver, deep/dark blue, blackish blue, or steel blue.

Personality: Suho is a calm quite friendly and sunny, making him easy to work with and get along with.

He's always willing to lend a helping hand, and helps give pointers to those who need it, when they need some advice. He can, however, be a bit impulsive, and tends to also be pretty hard on himself, sometimes. He's oftentimes a positive thinker, despite this, and doesn't like to dwell on the negatives too much.

fc/vc: Cha Eunwoo

Name: Atarah Fae Willowbrook
Gender: Female
Age: 1,277, looks like she's about 21 in human terms.
Species: Elf
Appearance: Atarah is 5 feet tall exactly, and has pale skin that is as smooth as porcelain. Her eyes are a striking blue with a deep amethyst hue, and rimmed by long, dark lashes. Her straight, raven black hair is smooth, silky, and incredibly shiny. While she usually leaves it down and free, she has also been known to do a half-up, half-down look with braids, or a ponytail with braids. On special occasions, she will do a neat and tidy bun, oftentimes, making it a braided bun, a twisted bun, or a bun that looks like a rose. She is often seen in one of two outfits: 1. A short, short-sleeved green dress, somewhat resembling a tunic; a brown leather armor piece that covers her torso; a pair of brown pants; a pair of brown boots that go to just below her knees; and a brown hood that has gold and green Celtic knots carefully embroidered into it, and pure silver buttons with intricate celtic knots in the front. She also accessorizes with a pair of simple gold and small green hoop earrings that hug her earlobes, and a gold necklace with a rich, dark green emerald pendant. Her trademark, and it is the one she wears most often. 2. A royal blue, long-sleeved dress, which goes about halfway down her thighs, and shawl/coverup that goes to about her elbow's length, both donning silver accents/hems and buttons, and a silver button to secure it around her neck; a brown belt with a silver buckle around her waist; a deep navy blue pair of leggings; Sapphire teardrop earrings, and silver ornaments that cover the tips of her ears, donning intricate designs and embedded with more sapphires; and brown boots that go halfway up her calves. In addition, she always has at least one of her weapons on her person, short of if it is a fancy event. In such cases, however, they will never be too far away, in the event of an emergency. She has other outfits and hairstyles that she will occasionally don, as well, though they are more for the purpose of special occasions, specialty outfits/gear for different regions and their weather, or for disguises - again, most certainly as needed.
Personality: Atarah is very stoic (to the point where she may even seem apathetic, at first, or when you don't know her well enough), calm, cool, and collected. She isn't one to typically be too impulsive or reckless, and will oftentimes keep her emotions in check, in order to acieve her goals and remain focus and fixated on what she wants or needs to do. She is quite intelligent and calculating, and always has a way to reach her objectives, no matter how straightforward or convoluted and strange/outlandish those methods may be. She does, however, tend to be a bit gullible with chests and pots. See, she has to check every single one for treasure, but occasionally, she will end up in the jaws on a Mimic - a scenario that is never fun or pleasant to deal with, especially when adventuring alone (still, it has happened so often to her, that she knows how to deal with it just fine on her own, usually. So, far more often than not, she views this as nothing more than simply a minor nuisance that is certainly worth the risk). Despite seeming quite rigid and apathetic, she actually does have a very sweet, caring, and cutesy side to her, once one gets to know her, well enough. She is fiercely loyal, and will protect the ones she loves and cares about with everything she has within her, at any cost. She is very calm, quiet, and friendly, though you do not want to cross her or become her enemy, and she is not forgiving to threats, and will also be very blunt, and brutally honest, her words harsh and cutting deep like a knife. Typically, however, she is quite friendly/docile, softspoken, and quiet. She's certainly not the most outspoken/loud person on the planet, and is certainly more observant and analytical, instead.
Likes: Animals (especially cute animals), finding new familiars/pets, learning new magic spells, sword fighting, archery, music (she loves to play the fiddle and the ocarina, especially), drawing, cooking/baking, sweets/trying new sweets, cute things, and exploring new places.
Dislikes: Mimics, Goblins, Vampires, Demons, (WIP)
Kingdom: Elven Kingdom (Western/Medieval and Natural)
History (optional): WIP
Other: Has 2 familiars: a male Church Grim named Arlo (he takes the form of a black wolf, somewhat like Ruth in The Ancient Magus' Bride), and a female Imp named Midna. She also has several pets that she has collected over time, as she is very good with animals/animal handling: a Red Fox named Fern, an Arctic Wolf named Sabre, a Raven named Poe, an Owl named Kaepora, a Horse named Epona, and a Phoenix named River. She dreams of someday obtaining a Unicorn, a Dragon, a Pixie, and/or a Griffin. These creatures are not merely just tools that she utilizes at her disposal; though they do oftentimes help her with travel, hunting, and fighting/combat as ndeded, she and these creatures truly have bonds, and care for one another. She is also a rather powerful mage, though oftentimes hides this unless she desperately needs to use it. She is also quite the swordswoman and the straightshot with a bow and arrow. She owns a magic staff, a legendary sword, a bow and arrows, and a clawshot. She also always has a strange urge to break pots - but usually, she's able to control herself, and does not oftentimes allow her intrusive thoughts to win (unless she's in a dungeon or other obviously very uninhabited location, in which case, it's usually irrelevant as to whether or not a pot is broken - as long as it isn't a valuable artifact, that is). Speaks English (fluent), Japanese (fluent), Elvish (fluent, native language), and Dwarvish (Intermediate).

Suho Sol
Age: 24
Location: Home, then outside

BOOM! CLAP! A mighty roll of thunder shook the earth, followed by a behemoth of a brilliant flash of lightning. It was like a roar of a lion, ferociously demanding the current thunderstorm's presence to be known by every soul that inhabited the town surrounded by trees and shrubbery for stretches of miles. And there sat Suho, tuning his guitar as the storm outside raged on. Days like this were so relaxing to him; he found himself at peace with the rain. It helped him to let loose and clear his mind, which allowed him to think difficult situations through more easily, or just simply to enjoy the pleasant little moments in life that oftentimes go overlook and taken for granted. Unfortunately for Yul, however, she didn't hold the same sentiment - well, not quite the same, anyway. See, the little Yorkie puppy seemed to like the rain a lot - but she hated thunder when it rumbled the ground. Suho could hear her whimpering as she tore down the hallway and quickly zipped into the room - almost as though she were a little bolt of lightning, herself. She immediately bounded into the boy's lap, resulting in him setting the guitar down. "It's alright," he said in a calming and reassuring tone as he started petting the 2 lb. shivering ball of fur that was huddled up against him, "It's just a little thunder." She whined in protest, as though Suho could somehow magically stop the thunder from erupting in the sky. Obviously, he could not pull off such a miracle; but he could get her a special treat, which would likely serve as a distraction for her. In fact, there just so happened to be several coffee shops in town, including a Starbucks not too far away from Suho's new home. He considered it for a moment - after all, Yul could get her treat, and it would give him a chance to explore the town and get his mind off of unpacking, for a while. A warm drink also sounded pretty good, anyway, so he figured, why not?
"How about we go get a pup cup, Yul?" he asked the tiny puppy with a soft smile. Yul looked up at him, still shivering, but tilted her head as if she understood completely. She let out a bark, and he chuckled as he ros to his feet, scooping her up into his hand in the process. He headed to the front door, where he grabbed Yul's raincoat and leash, an umbrella, his phone, and his keys. He clipped the leash to her harness and gently put the tiny dog raincoat on the even tinier dog - she was a mite too small for it, but she would grow into it in due time, he surmised. After this, he opened the door, the gentle, calming, earthy scent of petricor greeting him like a sweet embrace. He smiled and stepped outside as he opened the umbrella, then locked the front door behind him. And, with that, he and the microscopic dog in his hand started on their way to the well-known coffee franchise's nearest location.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter...all was calm as the rain, which was actually responsible for lulling the tall boy to sleep the prior night, gently yet relentlessly continued to beat against the pavement. Yul sniffed the air, curiously though with also an air of caution and hesitance. Suho started quietly humming along to a song that he and some friends had written several years ago - Butterfly - and continued on his way. He looked around him to see many sights that were still familiar to him. He hadn't been in town since he was a small child, as his family had moved away to South Korea. But something drew him back to this place, for some reason or another. But, really, he couldn't think of why...he just wanted a change of scenery, he supposed. But it seemed like something...more than that. Some nagging feeling that he just couldn't ignore. For some reason or another, he needed to be there. Maybe he was just being superstitious, but...he also didn't like to ignore such feelings, nor try to downplay or discredit them. Still, he didn't really understand why. But it was quite surprising to him that he could still recall and recognize so many things in town, despite just moving back in and it having been so long.
His train of thought was derailed, however, as Yul started lightly squirming to get out of Suho's grasp as she started to feel more comfortable and at ease. Suho chuckled, "Alright, alright. Hold on just a minute," as he then crouched down to gently set the tiny pup down. Her tiny paws immediately got soaked in a little puddle of rainwater as she started blissfully trotting along, sniffing anything of interest that stumbled upon her path. "You're gonna need a bath after this little trip," he chuckled as they continued on their way.
BOOM! CRACK! Another aggressive, ground-shaking roll of thunder very abruptly shook the ground as a blinding flash of lightning ripped across the sky. Yul yelped in shock, and just like that, she was tearing down the street at an alarming speed, crying out in fear the entire time. For Suho, it was like watching a little guinea pig take off with the speed of a racecar. "Yul!" he called out in surprise as he started running after the little pup, whom was already halfway down the street by the time that Suho had realized what he had just witnessed. What he hadn't realized was that the leash's lobster claw was damaged - it was actually quite loose, and when Yul had started taking off, it simply came undone from her harness with a little too much ease.
BOOM! More thunder. More terrified yelps from Yul. More calling out from Suho. "Yul! Come here! It's ok!" he desperately called out as he started gaining speed, trying to catch up to her before something bad could happen to her. Suddenly, as another flash of lightning lit up the dark, angry clouds in the sky, Yul flanked to the left, with Suho quickly following suit, hoping to close the gap and cut her off, soon. She was thankfully finally off of the road - but she was quickly barreling down a hill not too far away, leading to the nearby forest. No, no, no...! he thought, panicked, as he saw her darting in that direction. If he lost her in there, who knows what would happen to the poor, terrified little pup?
Unfortunately, however, he wasn't quite fast enough to reach her as she zipped straight into the thicket, disappearing from his view in an instant. "Yul!" he shouted, again, as he immediately entered the woods with no hesitation, nor trepidation. He paused for a moment, frantically looking around for something - anything - that could indicate where she may have gone off to. Between the dense thicket of the trees and shrubbery. and the thick layer of storm clouds above, it was so dark, however, that he couldn't see very well. Another flash of lighting illuminated his path for a split second, followed by a stark darkness, yet again. Her tiny little barks could suddenly be heard echoing in the distance to his left. He immediately started off in that direction. "Yul! Come back!" he called out, hoping to catch up to her, soon...and that she was okay. She continued barking, and he quickly continued in that direction, doing his best not to trip over loose rocks and sticks that littered the ground. Suddenly, he heard a horse neigh in distress, and more barks from Yul echoing throughout the otherwise quiet forest. "Yul?! Yul!" he called, quickening his pace as he sheilded his face from a few low-hanging twigs and tree branches.

"Hm...looks like it's going to be another rainy day..." Atarah mused to herself, her voice simply a soft, monotone murmur, as she stepped out of the tavern that she had just enjoyed a warm, lovely breakfast at. To an unfamiliar face, she may have seemed apathetic, or perhaps even displeased, judging by the flat, seemingly unenthused tone that appeared to be laced within her words. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth - the girl sighed contentedly as a small, soft smile crept upon her lips. She actually loved the rain - well, when she wasn't trying to traverse difficult terrains or rock climbing, that is. That just made it more difficult. But, on a regular basis, she actually quite liked a good thunderstorm, and the calming atmosphere that seemed to pull the world into slow motion, giving off a rather tranquil vibe.
It was a good thing she wore her blue outfit, today, she supposed - she at least wouldn't get too wet on her endeavors, which was a relief. She was running some errands in the Water Fairy Kingdom, and had some tasks to attend to. She did, however, purchase a new cloak - a navy blue with intricate, wispy, silver designed stitched into it that paired very well with her attire - to pull over her head and torso, sheilding her further from the downpour. She headed to the inn that she had spent the previous night in, and politely thanked the inn keeper for her hospitality, and made her payment for allowing her to lodge there, for the past evening. Then, she went to the inn's stable to retrieve her trusty steed, Epona. The bay mare was munching on some hay, flicking her cream colored tail in contentment. Upon hearing Atarah enter the stable, however, her black ears perked up, and her deep, sapphire blue eyes met her owner's. She greeted the Elf with a friendly whinny, bobbing her head up and down as Atarah smiled and approached her. She petted the copper Thoroughbred's black muzzle, and gently stroked the white stripe of fur that went down her forehead. "Time to get going, yeah?" she stated softly as she then went to grab her horse's saddle, bridle, and reins.
As soon as Epona was all saddled up, Atarah and her equine companion started down the cobblestone path that would eventually lead to the Water Fae Kingdom. They was almost there, and it came as quite a relief to her. They had been travelling for almost a week, and she would love for all of her errands and tasks to be finished here, soon. Perhaps, then, she could rest and just spend a few days touring popular landmarks and other locations throughout town, before continuing on her way, as she usually does.
A loud yawn suddenly erupted from her shadow, and up appeared a little navy and aqua imp with red eyes and muted yellow hair. "Jeez...we've been walking for days!" Midna groaned in complaint, "When are we going to get there? I swear, there are slugs that go at quicker pace than this...!" Atarah stared at her blankly, tilting her head to the side ever so slightly. "Patience, Midna," she responded flatly, "We're almost there. Besides, you could have teleported us there immediately, so you haven't got a single reason to complain." Midna huffed and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms a bit. "Yeah, but you didn't want me to do that! You wanted to take the 'scenic route', remember?!" Atarah shrugged lightly, a faint smirk playing on her lips as she then looked back ahead of her. "Well, you must not mind the 'scenic route' too much, since you haven't taken matters into your own hands and teleported us, yet," she retorted in a calm manner. She knew the little imp too well, and how stubborn she could be when she really wanted her way. "W-well...!" Midna stammered, her cheeks turning slightly red from embarrassment as she fumbled for a response, "That was before I knew we'd be getting soaked in the rain, and we're almost there, now...a-and..." Her voice trailed off as she huffed in irritation. "...Whatever. Just hurry up," she groaned with a sigh as she rubbed her temples.
Upon hearing this, another figure, shaped like a black wolf, emerged from Atarah's shadow. "Hey, knock it off with the bickering, why don't you?!" Arlo snapped, turning to Midna with a snarl. "...Ugh...this guy," Midna grumbled over her breath. "Honestly," Arlo growled, "There's no reason for you to talk to Atarah like that." Atarah shrugged, "It's fine. I don't really care." Playfully teasing her is fun, every now and again, anyway, she thought to herself with a subtle smirk. The imp was truly a troublemaker, sometimes, so getting her to experience a healthy dose of humbling was occasionally warranted. Arlo sighed in annoyance upon hearing her thoughts. Really, though...the disrespect is astounding, the Church Grim thought back to her. Atarah once again shrugged, Oh well. Arlo huffed. He opened his mouth to speak, though froze as his ears perked up; Epona's ears also twitched, as though they had both heard something.
It was a rather unfamiliar noise. High-pitched, but not like that of a bird of a rodent. It was almost like...a bark? "What is it?" Atarah inquired as she halted Epona for a moment. I don't know...hm...perhaps a fox...Arlo thought as he tilted his head in confusion, trying to get a better read on the situation. "Is it a threat?" she asked, quietly reaching for her bow and an arrow. Arlo shook his head, No, no...it sounds distressed. Atarah pressed her lips into a thin line as she stared off into the direction that Arlo was listening in. Was the creature injured? In danger? It appears to be fleeing...from something, or someone...he thought as he listened more closely, It's not to far away from us. Atarah looked over at him with a nod, figuring they should inspect and evaluate the situation since it had piqued his interest so much.
Yip! Yip! Yip! Atarah's gaze quickly returned to the direction that the squeaky, unusual yelps were coming from. A tiny little black and tan figure, drenched in rainwater, quickly emerged from the brush, spooking Epona. She neighed in a frightened manner, rearing up as the tiny creature zipped underneath the horse. Arlo quickly jumped into action, carefully grabbing the tiny furball by its scruff before jumping out of the way, narrowly avoiding either of them getting trampled by the horse's large, powerful, coal black hooves. Atarah quickly regained control of the horse, stroking her neck soothingly to settle the spooked creature's nerves. Her gaze then flicked over to Arlo. "What is it?" she asked, still stroking Epona as her breathing began to settle. "Whoa...it looks like a...pup of some sort?" Midna commented curiously. The tiny k-9 whimpered, clearly frightened, as she squirmed to try to get out of Arlo's grasp. Atarah dismounted the horse and walked over to the pup, and Arlo gently placed it in her hands. The little pup shivered, and Atarah carefully stroked her head comfortingly as she examined it to see if it was harmed. Although, as far as she could tell, the little animal appeared to be perfectly fine, albeit shaken up quite a bit. Midna approached them, and handed the brown cloak to Atarah so that she could wrap it around the pup to keep it warm. "...I wonder-" Atarah began, before abruptly being cut off. "Yul?! Yul!" a male's voice called out, and the pup barked, again. Atarah immediately spun around, taking a protective and defensive stance, as she held the pup with one hand, and drew her sword from its sheath with the other.

Age: 22
Location: Capital City of Water Fairy Kingdom

The sound of pitter-patter that tapped against the window of the inn cause the fairy to look up from her notes,"More rain?.... We seem to be getting a lot of rain and storms lately..." She said softly to herself from her room. Being a water fairy, she was quite comfortable and at ease in the rain, so she didn't really care too much. Lumine didn't think that she’d be back in the Water Fairy Kingdom so soon, but she was running low on supplies for her travels, and this just so happened to be the closest place to restock at the time. At least it made it a little easy for her, since she knew where all the shops were that she needed to restock at, having done so multiple times in the past. With a light sigh, the fae finished the last of her tea before getting up to get ready for the day.
She slipped on a sleeveless lilac tunic over top of the white long sleeved shirt she already had on before wrapping a brown, thick braided belt around her waist. The tunic was fitted to her upper body before it ruffled and flared out at the waist into an uneven skirt, landing just above mid thigh in the front and behind the knees in the back. She wore black shorts on underneath before she sat down to put on white over the knee socks, followed by knee high brown boots. She finished the look off by throwing her long, wavy hair into a high ponytail and a simple silver chain necklace with a small quartz pendant.
Lumine walked over to her bag to pack anything that she might have taken out, only to be surprised for a brief moment after opening the bag, before settling into a soft smile. Curled up inside the bag laid the small white feather dragon, sound asleep with little to no care in the world,"Figures you'd be in here." She said as she gently stroke a finger on the top of the creature's head. She got back to packing away her things before placing the strap of her crossbody bag over her shoulder. Finally, she grabbed hold of the dark brown cloak and put it on, clasping it at the front as she laid her wings flat down against her back.
Satisfied with her preparations, Lumine exited her room and headed down to the foyer of the inn to pay for her stay and to give her respects. After having done so, as well as taking a muffin for the road, the fae exited the inn and out onto the street, flipping up the hood of her cloak to protect her from the rain as she did so. She looked both ways as more and more people wandered about as they did their own work or errands before she finally started down a route. Like in any kingdom region, there was a main capital city and many smaller towns and villages. She was currently in the Capital City of the Water Fairies. While it had parts of the city on land, the majority of it was on top of the water. There were multiple large platforms that floated with bridges connecting them. Like a bunch of really big harbors that were all connected.
Lumine eventually came to a stop at an intersection and looked around at the shops before finally finding the one she was looking for. She opened the door as a familiar ding-a-ling sound chimed through the store before looking to see the storekeeper making his way over,"H-Hi. I-I'm in need of some herbs. W-Would you be able to get these for me?" She asked him as she handed over a small paper list. The storekeeper looked at the list and gave a smile with a nod. He told her that it would take a little bit to get all that she was asking for, but she was welcome to stay and wait until her order was complete. With a nod and a thanks in return, the storekeeper got to work as the female fae wandered over to the window to wait. As she waited quietly, Atla, the little white dragon who was asleep in the bag, climbed out of the bag and up the fairy's arm to get to her shoulder. Lumine smiled at the dragon as it nuzzled it's face against her cheek in greeting before her ears pricked and she looked out the window, tilting her head a little. Lumine watched her before tilting her own head a little in wonder,"Do you sense something?" The girl asked in a soft whisper before looking back out towards the rain fallen world.

Somewhere in the woods by a river, two white tigers swam out of the water with some fish in their jaws. They entered a nearby cave as Shiro shook out his fur and then he put his catch on the ground before transforming back into a human, his tail flicking excitedly behind him,"Well Nix, we got a good haul for breakfast. The Water Kingdom sure has some good fishing spots!" He said happily with a grin,"Now to cook them so we can eat!" He exclaimed before walking a little further into the cave. He picked up some branches, twigs, and leaves that were around before he started to make a small fire.
It took a couple tries to get it lit, but he was finally able to get the twigs and leaves caught in the fire. Shiro smiled with accomplishment before he then started to skewer the fish and set them by the fire to cook, leaving a couple raw of his companion. Nix had shifted back to her tabby housecat form, mewing and purring as she rubbed her body on the tiger man's shin. Shiro smiled down at her before he sat down at the fire, getting dry and warming up as he scratched the feline's back.
After a short while of waiting, Shiro took one of his fish and blew on it before biting into it, enjoying the flavor as Nix enjoyed her own fish next to him as they enjoyed a quiet morning meal. However, that quiet didn't seem to last. Both of their ears twitched and flickered to what sounded like yelping and then neighing somewhere nearby. Shiro swallowed his mouthful before glancing at the little tabby,"You heard that too, right?" He asked, to which he received a meow back in reply.
Scarfing down the last of his fish, Shiro grabbed his jacket before running outside, following his ears to the source as he was quite curious as to what was going on. It wasn't long before he and his companion stood in the trees near the main road (opposite side of Sol), watching as an elf girl interacted with a black horse, a wolf, a pup, and some other sort of creature? "Huh. I guess it wasn't that big of a deal for such a loud commotion." He said in a very simple matter-of-fact tone. Shiro stood up on the thick part of the branch and was about to turn around to head back before he froze. There was another voice, calling out somewhere on the other side of the road. 'Now things are getting interesting.' He thought as he crouched back down, quietly watching the events unfold as the elf took a defensive stance.
