BANG!!

"Well that's a one strange adventure." Lycia chuckles as the three dashed out through the metal doors that let them out into the wilderness upon first step.

"Less talking, more running!" Cyane shouted over her loud panting.

"Noted." Louise replied shortly as he tugged the giggling princess' wrist and urged her to run faster.

The teens run blindly into the forest in order to seek refuge from their captors. Luckily, their captor's hideout's not too faraway from the brook and their supply stocks. Though half raided by the time they got there, there's still enough to last the remaining journey to The Temple of Eclipse. Heaving their supplies on their backs, the trio continued their dash and only stopped when the sun began to disappear in the horizon, leaving the sky a breathless shade of orange, pink and purple as if trying to persuade the sun's return by showing off it's colors. As they sat nearby a precipice, admiring the sky's magnificent colors and catching their breath, a soft gust of wind brought another beauty into the scene.

"ACK!" Lycia exclaimed in surprise as the wind shoved a handful of locks on her face.

Louise, who was sitting beside her, chuckled and scoot over to move over the number of locks. "Here, lemme help ya'." As he tucked the locks safely behind Lycia's hair, the wind didn't stopped it's match-making duties and continued engulfing in a cool and romantic-like wind. Topped off with the soft lighting, light dust of blush and the unnoticed entwined hands, it's truly a copy from a romantic movie.

Cyane can only chuckle at her friends who are moving away from each other in embarrassment. "Truly, the nature is a one good match maker."

In a matter of a few hours, the fire's all set and the trio sat on the long logs surrounding it, roasting marshmallows. 

"Surprised marshmallows existed here." Louise muttered as he flipped his marshmallows a second time.

"Well if marshmallows didn't existed here, what other roasted sweet goodness are we going to eat during camping?" Lycia says as she plucked a marshmallow off her stick and swallowed it whole. "It's scrumptious!"

"I know right! I love the way they melt in your mouth." Cyane comments as she tore off a marshmallow into two piece, producing a long and stretchy substance. "Yum!"

"Well if you like 'em roasted, just wait 'till you've had some s'mores!" Louise giggled merrily as he grabbed his backpack to forage for some s'more ingredients.

"What's a s'more?"

"Well it's some sort of like marshmallow sandwich with chocolate bars in between. And instead of bread you use graham crackers. It's delicious, trust me." Louise handed both girls some crackers and bars of chocolates.

"Alright." Lycia shrugged and began stacking her s'more. "Done. Now what?"

"Well, just eat it."

Lycia shrugged a second time and take in a huge bite. Her pupils began to dilate and sparks can be seen flying in them. "Best thing I've ever tasted!!"

"Hmmm, nice combo." Cyane commented. She finished her s'more in just a couple of bites and is now making a second helping.

"How did humans invented these goods?"

"Curiosity, probably."

"Makes, sense."

"Speaking of curiosity, can I ask a question?"

"What question?"

"That old man you summoned earlier's your dad right?"

"Yeah, what about him?"
