The Blooming Willows

Smoke hung in the air. It curled around Karefallen's nostrils. "How are we going to deal with this, its nearly reached The Blooming Forest" Karefallen said to his companion. Dawn nodded. "If you're not look 'in for trouble, you better get outa here" Willow said, she noticed the two from across the field. "The fire is being extinguished" Willow added. "So what are we going to do if the fire reaches the forest" Karefallen said. "Well, we aren't entirely sure yet" Willow said, disappointment in her voice. "If you would like, you may join Karefallen and I for the look around" Dawn offered. "Uh, sure. Better then watching the fires crackling" Willow said. Willow has a peachy tan coat, with white around her muzzle. Willows eyes are a deep blue, she is a duskwalker with the common water ability. She can produce water from any ware on her body, making her top for the fire extinguishers.

"So, what's the deal here? Is it really necessary? This war has brought many of my family members to potential death" Willow said, looking at her paws as she walked. "The fact that some can see it, the pointlessness of the war, is great, others are not smart enough to see" Dawn replied. Karefallen's eyes grazed the beautiful forest, soon to be nothing but ash. Karefallen's eyes then drifted to Dawns, then Willows. 'Why are my eyes so different? Dawn has bright green eyes, and sure her puipl is a different color, but thats not very rare. And Willow, her warm brown eyes, thats about the most common eye color out there, but me, my eyes are such a light blue, its almost white, and my puipls are white' Karefallen thought, ne narrowed his eyes and returned his gaze to the path ahead. 

The sun was begining to set, leaving Dawn, Karefallen, and Willow in the beautiful dusk sky. "So, whats going to happen once we lose, if we do? Am I going to be left to die, with the lost family? Are we even going to see each other again?" Willow said, trying her best not to tear up. "What ever happens, i will protect both of you with all my heart, soul, and mind" Karefallen growled, but gentley so he didnt seem mad. Willow's eyes looked at Karefallens, the Dawns. Dawn with her emotionless stare, her eyes told Willow that she would not let her die. Dawn may not have emotion on her face, but she has a way to show it. Her eyes could tell a story. Dawn has a disabillity called Late Reaction Syndrom, it is caused by trama, only effecting the mind if the disabillity holder lets its mind be effected.

Willow shifted from paw to paw, knowing the truth is always told by the two infront of her. "Besides, we wont lose, not with us three out there" Karefallen reasured her. Karefallen's words gave a slight spring of confidence to Willow. "Karefallen often speaks to boldly, not to mention, it would be impossible for a single duskwalker to defeat all the enemys, but three, only with very highly trained pwer could" Dawn said. "Oh c'mon Dawn you ruined the moment" Karefallen joked. Dawn blinked, seeming strange to see no respence on her face. Willow layed down on the damp grass, resting from the over useage of her water power. Dawn who was already laying, spread her wings, streaching them. Willow had a pair of tan wings, each row getting lighter, but not fading like Dawn's wings. Now Willow caries two stubbed bones on her back. Karefallen's thick black mane flowed in the wind. "I have to go, ill see you two tomarrow" Karefallen said, turning to leave. "Bye Fall" Dawn called after him. 

Dawn and Willow chatted for a few more hours, then departing and going home. The next morning, the light was a bright glow in Willow's sleeping eyes. She went to hunt as usual then, went to patrol the area. She hung out with Dawn and Fall thr rest of the day, this has been going on since they were kids. Over time Willow has grown attached to the two. But Willow has a special feeling, for Dawn to be exact. Willow had met Dawn shortly after meeting Karefallen. Willow and Dawn quickly became friends. Always meeting her and Karefallen under a cherry blossom in the Blooming Forest. Willow had fallen in love with her best friend, knowing how it would end. Is Willow right, to keep it a secret, or is it right to confess the truth to her friend?
