Tanith was trying to get
used to this world. Not only was it unfamiliar, but she was also holding a
weapon she was not used to.
|
The sounds and smells were
so different from the forest she had resided in just a little while ago that
she had trouble concentrating.
Pulling out all of her strength here would require some work.
|
The light wind carried
the whirr of small wings to her, along with the smell of twinflowers.
|
When she finally spotted
the creature, she became even more suspicious. It certainly was not a
dragonfly, although it sounded like one.
The Huntress was not
certain of what it was at all, so she automatically became cautious of the approaching creature.
|
Moving her hand to the
hilt of her dagger, she continued to observe the creature with distrust.
It did not feel dangerous, but more like the forest itself. She had a hunch
on what it was, but knew better than to let her guard down, no matter how
harmless a creature might look.
|
The buzzing stopped as the
creature descended on the moss accompanied by a soft thud.
|
"Hello,
pretty-purple-thing!" rang a small, bell like voice.
|
Tanith looked down at the
hooved creature, and the bell on her hair tingled as if it were glad to meet
the small being.
|
"Oh!" The creature
exclaimed fearlessly, "Purple-thing has spots!"
|
It fell on the moss and
stared at the Huntress' paws wide-eyed.
Tanith didn't know what to say.
|
Could this entity really
be what she thought it was? She found it
strange that the forest would take a form such as this. She had seen many
forests, but they had always been old men, deer, bears or just
trees.
|
"Does purple-spotty-thing
not like Enki?" The hooved mismatch of creatures spoke hesitantly.
|
The demoness sat down,
again, accompanied by the ring of her tiny bell.
"I'm just a little surprised that you would come to see me."
She didn't think she'd had done anything that had warranted the trust of the
forest just yet.
|
"But purple-paw-thing is
Kilbas' friend. Enki likes all Kilbas' friends" the creature paused and
mumbled, "...almost."
Tanith stared at the spirit in disbelief.
"Kilbas is kind" :3
|
"He is... kind?"
The female was sceptical. From what she had seen and heard, the Hunter was
everything but kind.
|
"Yes. But purple-spots
lied to Kilbas." Enki pouted.
Everything about this meeting was so strange to Tanith.
"Should I not have?"
