The sky shown blue with scattered clouds, the street expanding before the brown eyed girl. Red water still soaked her lower half, forming a small puddle at her feet. However, she had escaped whatever that place was (although she did not quite know how). One moment, she had been walking through a tunnel flooded with ankle deep water, the crimson water splashing with her steps. The next, she stood at the street side.
The pink haired girl glanced up, shielding her eyes with her right hand. The sun's rays shone brightly, casting a pleasant warmth over her. A soft breeze caressed her, bringing a smile to her face.
"Looks like it will be sunset soon. I should probably head back to Nymph's." She took a step and pouted at the wet squish of her shoe (if only shoes dried instantly). Shaking off the soggy shoe feeling, she continued forward, leaving a trail of a few reddish footprints behind her.
As Tabitha strolled onward, the sun and breeze worked in tandem to progressively dry her off. The red water dried clear, leaving no notable residue behind. A short time later, her lower half was hardly moist at all.
A school of fish gathered at her feet (attracted by her soft footfalls). They followed her for a while before scattering, a few jellyfish giving chase. She stopped for a moment and marveled at the sight, the frantic fish darting about (their scales glinting in the sunlight), the jellies pursuing them.
