Nimue holds onto the young girls hand softly as they walk into the unknown area with Arthur right behind them. They all look around in aw at the green scenery that littered the walls and the flowers that were the most beautiful they had ever seen. It was as if they were made of magic


They walk on further and see all of the fey all around the place and if brought hopefulness and happiness into their hearts. But they didn't show it as the fey only gave them unsure and dark glares as they walked through with the man blood in tow. 


Everyone looked so glum and some where coughing while others were eating or finding other things to do to occupy them.


The young girl spots an elder from her village and runs over into her arms happily and Nimue smiles softly


"Welcome" Nimue hears and then turns around to see a woman with multiple braids pulled back on her head and a mask covering most of her face and she had piercing blue eyes that reminded Nimue of the ocean. She had jet black robes on and Nimue didn't know how to feel about her. She carried two swords and her skin that did show was covered in soot


"Thank you. This place is beautiful, I've never seen anything like it" Nimue tells the girl and gives her a small smile


"You will be safe here. make yourselves at home and someone should bring something for you to eat around shortly" Adira tells them and they nod their heads and walk around and begin to take some more time taking in the area around them 


adira walks over to Allison and the young girls face lights up when she sees the cloaked warrior walking toward her 


"come along now child, i have something for you" Adira tells the girl and then grabs her hand and begins leading her up to their now shared room. Allison takes a seat on the end of the bed while adira walks over to a small table and pulls a box off of it and brings it back over to the bed and she sits down in front of Allison and places the box in between them.


"what is it?" Allison asks in confusion  and stares down at the box in excitement and impatience 


Adira grips the box and then carefully lifts the lid off of the box and then puts her hands inside the box and pulls out two triangle like blades and at the hilt there was a circle


"What are they?" Allsion asks as adira careful hands them over to the girl


"they are Chinese ring daggers. i personally think that you will enjoy using them as well as the bow and arrows" Adira tells the girl "Ive grown up around weapons my whole life and i am pretty good at choosing the right weapons for people"


Allsion stares down at the dagers in love and she immediately tried to start using them and adira smiles slightly as she watched the girl who was clearly having the time of her life. Allison had a giant grin on her face and her eyes were strong. When adira looked at the girl she saw herself in her and she didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.


After a while Allison decided to sit down on the bed next to the weeping warrior and she gave the warrior a big thankful grin "i want to be just like you one day"


Adira shakes her head "no child. You want to be even better than me, i may be a warrior, but you could be a warrior queen" Adira lays back on the bed and lets out a sigh "Dont strive to become someone who has already existed. Be your own person, be unique and definitely don't let anyone try and tell you who you should be"


"Who are your people, are your family here too?" Allison asks and Adira shakes her head 


"My family all died along time ago along with the rest of my village, i am the only one left" Adira told the girl and while it wasn't the whole truth, adira only wanted to tell the girl that much. she couldn't just tell the young girl that the person who had been feared throughout the land for hunting down and killing fey was also a fey, and she definitely couldn't tell her that he was the same type of fey as her. she didn't let anyone know what type of fey she was.


"Do you miss them?" Allison asks softly and then lays down on the bed next to adira 


"I miss one of them, he meant everything to me" Adira tells the girl "And every since i lost him, i lost myself too. i hid myself from the world and swore to protect all fey"


"Will you ever let me know who you are?" Allison asks and sits up and looks down at adira who meets eyes with her and they stare at each other for a while


"I don't know child, maybe when you know who i am you wont want to know me anymore. Or maybe it will make you like me even more. The future may be destined and full of fate, but the trail to reach your destiny is always changing. One day you will know who i am, but i do not know when that day is"


"Your a water folk arent you? i saw the way you made it rain on our village when it was all burning down" Allsion says and Adira lifts here hand into the air and a small flame appears in her palm and Allison looks at her in disbelief "so you are a fire folk" Adira then sighs and turns to the rock walls that were covered in moss and she reaches her hand out toward the moss and then suddenly heaps of light blue flowers begin to grow out of the cracks and through the moss and Allison couldn't believe it, she knew what this meant, she had heard all of the legends but she never actually believed them. Finally a soft wind blew around the room and pushed allsions hair back and Allison had an unreadable expression on her face but then it was covered with excitement 


"Do you understand now child?" Adira asks her softly 


"Youre the Avatar. Oh my goods. this is amazing, i didn't believe it, i thought that it was just a myth" Allison says and then jumps on adiras stomach and sits there excitedly and grins at adira who also was smiling though Allison could tell even though adira had a mask on. Adiras eyes had lit up slightly, adira was happy the girl had excepted her, she was the only person other than lancelot who had excepted her and didn't judge her


"So you arent afraid of me?" Adira asks the girl softly 


"Are you serious? This is so freaking cool" Allison grinned "honestly, mind blown. I already thought you were the coolest person ever and you just keep on getting better and better"


"well little one, us women do strive to show everyone whos the best" Adira tells her and messes up her hair


Adira was usually one to never say anything to anyone but the girl in front of her was making her feel whole again. But those around her knew to never mistake her silence for weakness because they remembered that the air stills, before the onset of a hurricane.


And all the fey looked up to her, for she was water. powerful enough to drown you, soft enough to cleanse you, and deep enough to save you.
