"Stand up straight, so when our bubble makes contact you won't hurt yourself." Said Mai.
"Have you been controlling the direction we fall in this whole time?" Kaden asked.
"Yes, and you've been making it a bit hard to concentrate."
"Wow, you really are amazing."
Just like before she looked over her shoulder at him and got flustered for a second.
"This isn't anything to be impressed by." She replied.
"Everything you've shown me so far has impressed me."
"Any resident of the Land of Aestus could've showed you these things. I've done nothing special."
Kaden watched as her subtle smile disappeared from her face.
Nothing special huh? I've heard that before...
"Yanno, looking at it better now, I can't really call this place a city. It's more of an extensive village." Kaden exclaimed.
"I mentioned before that our land is the most connected to nature. We don't see the need to build particularly large structures or to defile our environment in any way."
As the bubble they were in came in contact with the ground, the water began to disperse into the grass around them. As they emerged from the water, everything finally became clear to Kaden.
"A village within a forest, inside a cave, under a lake surrounded by mountains." Kaden stated. "Nice. So what's that light source in the distance? It can't be sunlight right?"
"It's an artificial sun created by one of the early deities that made the lands." Mai replied.
"Everything I've seen today seems like it came straight from the mind of J. R. R. Tolkien but that, what you just said, doesn't make any sense."
"Believe it or not stranger, but that's what happened." She replied walking ahead.
Without warning, water shot from the ground directly in front of Kaden. He stepped backwards as the raging torrent of water swiftly surrounded him and completely blocked off his sight of the area around him.
"Miss Aira, the insurgent has been captured." A man said after approaching her. "Are you okay Ms. Aira?"
"I'm fine! Release him, he isn't an insurgent!"
"He sports the colors of an Ignus warrior Ms. Aira, please do not be deceived by this man's words."
"The reason I brought him here is so that Elder Treya can validate his words for me. This man claims to not know how he appeared here and resides in a land that we've never heard of. I trust his claims, but Elder Treya will have the final say so release him Kenzo!"
With a stern expression on both of their faces, it was clear that both of them were firmly planted in their beliefs. However Kenzo wavered and released Kaden from the prison of water.
"Yanno I didn't find it strange that I wasn't wet before but now that I am, I'm a bit bothered." Kaden said as he was now drenched in water.
"Elder Aira was concerned something happened to you because you were late to return." Kenzo stated.
"Like I said I'm fine, I'm more than capable of handling myself." Mai answered.
"By the way your name is Mai Aira? I'm gonna end up calling you Maira."
"Watch how you speak." Kenzo said approaching Kaden.
"I can't physically watch how I speak without a mirror good sir."
