Two figures swiftly raced through the dark forest. Looking as if they were gliding on the heavy fog around them. There was yelling and commotion in the distance. The smaller figure stoped. "Slender, it's no use! We're looking too hard!! We're not going to find the doors!! We have to do it!!"

The taller skinnier being looked at the other. "Are you certain she will survive this world Twilla?! She's only a year old!" He said gesturing to the bundle she was holding. "She's one of us. She's strong and she will survive" she said most certainly. With one step the taller figure now had his long arms wrapped around the other figure and the bundle.

"Alright, do the spell and after, you have to send her away form here so they don't find her." He murmured. He squeezed the bundle tightly to him and kissed it gently and then leaned in to the other being to kiss her.

"I will go and distract them for as long as I can. I will see you again." He hugged the two one last time before dissolving into the fog towards the distant but oncoming footsteps, crunching leaves under them.

The now along being kneeled down and put the bundle on the ground of fallen leaves. While whispering the words she was literally warping the little one with the fog around them like a blanket. Taking great care to fold the mist perfectly.

"You are a vane of luminary

Temporarily taking on the form of a human being

Suffering from beauty, amusement and rareness

You are a mistling in disguise

In every day and every way

You are now a shadow dressed in light."

She didn't have time to wrap all the mist required for the spell as the footsteps came closer. She had to send her now before it was too late. The being stood up and with her hands started manipulating the fog in the forest to creat something like a mini tornado around the bundle.

It gently lifted the little thing and with an almost hesitant flick of the figures hand the tornado flew out of sight with the bundle on a gust of wind.
