Username: atlas,
Kalon name: kelkie
Prompt:
Kelkie was a gentle, playful character. Many enjoyed her company and she was usually found sitting next to the lake nearby, staring into the water in front of her, usually munching on some sort of summery treat in the summer. No one is sure what she's doing there, especially so often, but they enjoyed the summer sun.
Occasionally, you too would go to the lake and explore. With each visit you bonded closer to the crimson-coloured spirit and eventually, although it took time, you two could be considered as friends. Kelkie seemed to look forward to your visits, and each time you two would have a nice day by the lake, exploring the woods beyond it or losing yourself in the sweet treats she had to offer.
Kelkie acted as a gentle companion in your adventures- usually, you'd go exploring deep into the woods with her, but this time you had a change of plans. Stepping closer to the water’s edge, she toys with the sand beneath her paws, staring into the water. You beckon her closer to the water, gesturing for her to step in and splash around with you.
Splashing water towards her, she hesitates. "Let's play, come on!" You call playfully towards her. She shakes her head, clawing the sand anxiously.
Kelkie falters, "I- I can't swim." she says, stumbling away further from the shoreline. Kelkie looks at you, some sort of fear in her eyes. You can tell she's hiding something. "Please come out. We can play somewhere else."
You laugh, still standing in the water. The pebbles beneath your feet shift slightly and you stumble a little, losing balance for a second. Thankfully, you don't fall back and get drenched.
"I think it's going to rain soon. Please come out of the lake!" your friend begs, tail swishing behind her anxiously. A cold breeze brushes past the two of you, a chill running down your spine.
You shake your head. It was a sunny day halfway through the summer. "Why would it rain?"
She takes a few steps closer to the water. "Summer rain showers happen," she calls. "We can go get lemonade and ice cream if you come out of the water." she tries to convince you.
Strands of seaweed brush against your legs and you shake them off, the slimy feeling wasn't very pleasant. A few strands cling on, however, but it's not too much of a deal.
The water ripples behind you. A frog croaks, followed by a splash into the water. A fish swims past your legs and you falter a little, surprised. The lake ripples more, which was strange- it was usually a calmer lake.
Clouds start cutting off the bright summer sunlight the two of you usually enjoyed. A strange gurgling sound comes from the lake, seemingly right behind you.
"What was that?" you call out to Kelkie, now worried.
She looks terrified. "Come out-"
Kelkie gets cut off as you feel a slimy tentacle brush your shoulder.
