Not proofread so if there are mistakes just let me know and ill fix them later

We all stand there in shock for a second, Willow quickly walks back over to the other man that claimed to be him at first and the rest of us break off into our own conversations about it. 

I didn't really participate and instead just listened, Graydon goes over to talk to Elora and I tap jades shoulder to watch what happens with me. "So your Elora Danan huh?" he questions "Huh?" She loudly answers, clearly not paying attention "I said you Elora Danan-" "Alright, we don't need to get carried away. We don't know anything for sure" Kit interrupts him, still sounding absolutely 100% thrilled about this new discovery... not. "It's not safe here," Willow tells us, he tells us to follow him and begins walking away. 

Im slightly hesitant at first but Kit grabs onto my arm and pulls me along with her "If I have to go, you're coming with me" She whispers to me. We enter an underground village, many people scattered around either attending to their own daily lives or talking with others around them, it was interesting that something like this could exist. 

 The place was defiantly smaller than I would have liked it, I'm not the biggest fan of small spaces and the fact that if I jumped I could give myself a concussion on the roof didn't help. The people around looked at us worried, confused about why we were there. It seemed a lot of them however caught on that Elora was well Elora and quickly crowded around her. 

Kit watches them interact with Elora with a very funny disgusted look on her face, Jade and I both see this and give each other a look before both commenting on it "You alright Kit?" jade comments first letting me finish our judgment "You look a bit... deranged" I smirk at her "Look Arik is out there somewhere across the Shattered Sea. We don't know what they are doing to him or how much time he has, and I'm just not really in the mood to learn about Nelwyn's culture right now" Kit quickly fights me and jades comments, I sigh and lightly brush my hand against hers before locking our pinkies together. She takes a deep breath and though it is still evident she is annoyed and on edge, she seems maybe the tinniest bit calmer. 

Locking our pinkies together is something we have done since we first met, we always used it as a sign to show we were there for the other person when they were stressed. It was the most affectionate Kit would be sometimes because she has never been good at comforting someone so me and her found this small way to comfort each other and make it just our thing, Arik found out about it and for a while teased Kit a bit but that soon stopped and since we have continued to do it. It's lowkey, it's affectionate, it's meaningful to us so it's perfect. 

 We were soon moved off to a weird ceremony sitting area. it was packed in close with everyone sitting down, Elora was sitting facing the crowd on some seat, and a flower crown was placed on Elora's head. Willow started talking and I did try my best to listen I really did but the size of the room we were in was really starting to get to me, I try my best to not show it, to try and get over the stupid fear and put up with it but it's getting harder and harder with every passing second. 

It seemed time was passing quickly and whatever this meeting was about was moving along fast. The crowd had just finished cheering something about a finger test, I was gripping the edge of whatever we were sitting on, tapping my feet slowly and trying to match my breathing to the slow pattern, breathing in when I lifted my feet up and out when I dropped them back down. The crowd quickly fell unimpressed and all got up to start walking away, I was relieved because it meant we could finally leave as well. 

"You alright?" Jade asks me as we all get up to move anywhere but here "Is it the space?" She adds, I just nod my head "It's alright, we will move somewhere else. You're doing good" Jade takes my hand and gives it a light squeeze, she knows of this dumb fear so it's nice to have her support.
