Night falls,the moon shines ever so blue. It's light is enticing and enchanting. Alex sits at the edge of the river bank, playing with the water as he dips his legs in it while Elias get's wood to keep an ongoing fire from burning out.
All his life up till this point has been dark and filled with secrets. Even though he doesn't know the full details of what transpired before his birth,he can't deny the immense feeling of happiness he feels. It's like peace exploded inside him.
Diana is set to sleep on the soft grass..a heap of palm fronds are arranged as a pillow and a giant palm frond is used as a covering from the cold.
Alex is close to the burning flames, receiving warmth. Trying his best to be quiet,Elias walks to the fire with wood that he cut with his sword. He tosses some of the wood into the fire to keep it going.
The crackling sound of the fire wakes Diana up. With batting lashes she opens her eyes. She takes in her surroundings. She sits up and analysizes the tall trees surrounding her. She sighs and cleans her eyes...her memory eludes her.
Though her vision is a little blurry,she sees a figure whistling shaking to the tune of his whistle. Acting in fear,she jolts up and let's out tiny shriek.
Elias turns to the sound. He smiles once he sees Diana awake.
“ Oh, hey you're finally awake,” he says and walks to her. He extends his arm for a handshake. “ I'm glad you're awake. You know I was starting to....”....she kicks him in the groin.
He shrieks in pain and she runs into the forest.
Alex wakes and sees a wincing Elias. He turns to where Diana was and fear and worry grips him when he doesn't see her.
“ Where is she?” he asks as he jolts up.
He hears the rustling of the shrubs and realizes she's running. “ Why did you let her run away?! He sighs and goes after her.
“ Thank you for your never ending concern,” he said in pain.
Batting away shrubs he runs as fast as he could to catch up. His hearts start's beating fast. He's filled with worry and concern.
“ Diana!...” Alex yells as he chases after her.
Unconsciously he used his powers to superspeed. Diana's hair flips to the front and her gown flutters by the breeze that comes from Alex's speed.
He speeds into a tree.
“ Ow" he groans in pain and falls backward.
Diana's panting. “ hold up," Elias said in pain...his legs criss crossed.
Diana hisses and her eyes turn yellow. She starts backing away slowly.
“ Will you just calm down!?" Elias yells.
She screeches and large bat wings arch out of her back.
“ Oh my God!” Elias said with a pained face. With a growl she stretches her wing and bats him away to a tree.
“ We should have used her for dinner!,” Elias winced holding his side.
Alex gets up and blocks her way. He stretches his hands towards her.
“ Were not going to hurt you,” he comforted.
“ I beg to differ,” Elias said turning side to side and wincing.
“ You can trust me,” he said putting on a smile. “ Just calm down...”
Her breathing slowly starts returning to it's normal pace. Her eyes slowly return to it's original brown color.
“ There we go... just breathe...” Alex comforts.
“ Stop talking and burn the witch!” Elias winced.
