"I died to a truck named 'Truck-kun' and maybe an insane barista? What the actual fuck."
Amara Paice was an average, anime-loving child. Or as average as a child can be when most of her town avoids her because of a birthmark on her shoulder that she...

Luna awoke in a field of familiar, soft grass. It nipped her awake as the wind sent shivers down her spine, harsher than usual. She sat up from the grass, her dress pooling in her lap as she gazed warily into the oddly silent forest. Something was off. She could feel it. She willed herself to her feet, walking the familiar path she'd walked with Coral more times than she could count.
The cave's opening waited for her at the end of the path. The cave floor felt smooth against her bare feet, Luna knowing exactly where to step to avoid the jagged rocks. The cave was eerily silent as she stepped around the large tree growing in the middle of it, the glowing orbs on it glowing in a mix of a new soft gray and their usual calm blue. The sight had Luna's lips curling in a frown as she watched the orbs closely.
"Coral?" She called out, her voice echoing through the cave. Her eyes glanced behind her at the smaller cave branching from the main one. It was Coral's place of rest, as the bird would put it, even if she was never found in there. With Luna's luck, the summoning was at the lake she had shown her the last time she was there. And she couldn't trouble herself to remember the location.
"She'll come back soon," Luna mumbled to herself, pressing her back to the tree's trunk. "She brought me here after all."
"No." A voice whispered softly into the air. "I brought you here."
In seconds, Luna had pushed herself off of the tree, her eyes scanning the cave. "Who's here!?"
Only the hollow sound of stone responded and Luna was left standing in a paranoid silence. She stood there wordlessly for a few minutes more before chalking her delusions to exhaustion, resting her body back against the sturdy tree. She had curled into the wood, close to falling asleep when a loud inhumane screech echoed in the cave. This time it took her a few seconds to process the screech, staggering to her feet. She easily pinpointed where the scream came from, her eyes darting to a cave entrance connected to the main cave, high up on the cave walls. A soft gray glow came from deep within the cave, Luna's eyes darting back to the same strange glow from the tree before an annoyed huff left her chest.
'Fuck.'
Chakra flowed easily to her feet and hands before she could even manually do it, sending a shiver down her spine as the energy trickled down her limbs. She only hesitated for a moment, eyeing the stone wall before she firmly placed her toes on a stone ledge. The chakra in her foot practically glued her to the small crevice and she was able to balance on it with minimal struggle. Her hand stretched to grab a ledge above her, her fingers digging into the crevice of rock as the chakra cemented her in. The climb wasn't bad at all in Luna's opinion. But she had only climbed two walls in her lifetime, from her old life and new life. Her mom, as Amara, had taken them rock wall climbing for her brother's birthday. It was her first time celebrating any of their birthdays with them and while it was awkward, Amara had tried her best to make it the best birthday. The other one was during training with her father after she was reborn. She hated it.
