Chapter Thirty: Breathe

Maui smiles at me, "Uilani! Long time no see!"

I glare at him, "It's Isabelle. That's my name now."

A small Popplio waddles over, "Who gave you that name?"

"My trainer."

Maui blinks, "You have a trainer now?" He asks surprised.

"Yup."

Do you hear that?
It's the Kricketune.

I turn away, "Well, I'm gonna go find my friends. We can talk tomorrow, I guess."

Siren chuckles, "You know her always running away from her problems...I'll go with her to make sure...she doesn't kill anyone!"

She scampers after me, but I lose her in the cave.
Just as planned.

I decide to go and rain on Nightshade's parade.

Her and Leafeon are enjoying the beautiful sunset.
Ahh, it's so romantic.

They just look so happy.

"Aren't they just adorable?"

I turn to see Violet standing next to me. 
She has a bunch of seashells in her hands.

I look her up and down, "Uhh, what're you doing?"

She gives me a confused look, "I'm just watching her. That's not weird."

I look around awkwardly, "It is."

Leafeon turns to us, "Isabelle is bothering your sister."

What a snitch.

Nightshade nuzzles her, "Violet can take care of herself."

"But, Isa's just staring at us."

Nightshade looks me straight in the eye, "Because we look good together."

The nerve of her!
How dare she-
Nah, they're pretty cute.
Don't tell anyone I thought that.

"I'm leaving."

Violet waves, "Well, okay...have fun."

Siren finally found her way out of the cave, which means I have to hide from her.

On a small portion of the island is a field covered in pink flowers.
I sigh and lie down in the flowers, closing my eyes, shortly dozing off to sleep.

"C'mon, Popplio!" Rowlet calls out to me doing loop de loops in the night sky.

I look up at him and groan, "No! Don't you have anything better to do?"

He flies down to me, "You don't have to be such a fun killer! Let's go have some fun!"

He jumps all around and I reluctantly get up, "Fine! Where are we going?"

"To Iki Town! It's a wondrous place."

"I can't swim that far."

He frowns, "Oh. Then let's just go to the highest point of the island. We'll gaze at the stars."

I lead him to a hill where you can touch the stars, "My father says that this is a sacred place where we can speak to our ancestors."

"That's cool! I wanna see it!"

I look down, "They don't talk to me. They'll talk to Siren, my father but never me. I'll bet it's because they're scared of me."

Rowlet wraps his wing around me, "Maybe they're just waiting for the right time to talk to you."

I shake him off, "That's not true. I know why they don't talk to me."

"Why's that?"

"It's some stupid prophecy and my supposedly mean personality.

Rowlet chuckles, "They're not wrong about the mean personality."

I frown then push him down the hill.
I forgot he had quick reflexes.

He grabs me and we tumble down the hill landing in a small pool outside of a cave.

"Hey, what's that?" I say as Rowlet shakes the water off of his feathers.
