"It's creepy, I tell you! I'm not being a pussy! I just had a really bad... encounter here before."
"You are being a coward. Shut up and bear with it."
"I'm telling you, I lived here! Back in my days of potion making! I loved it!... But then..." Preania's hands clutched the fabric of her sleeves tighter. "He was... dark... creepy... And his eyes... They had the same evil as Cerberus..." Her knuckles where white as she clutched her sleeves tighter still. She remembered the man well, remembered the cold table, the shelves filled with potions... "It's not like I'm scared or anything..."
A reddish brown light above her sighed. "You know, they could have made me watch over anyone, anyone at all, and they chose you. Selfish, snappy, temperamental, violent you." The nymph moaned, keeping herself slightly above Preania.
"I can end it for you, if you'd like. It'll take less than three seconds to squash you." Preania muttered, breaking and throwing a branch that scratched her as she walked. Solyss responded by throwing a nut at her and flying out of reach.
Preania glared at her, then looked around their surroundings. "So all we have to do is gather some moss and get out, right? The quicker the better."
"Unfortunately, no. Zhudora's Moss is extremely deep into the forest, probably deeper than this, and we're pretty far into it. And after we get the moss, we actually have to do the ritual here. And you know what? I don't like this any more than you do." Solyss shuddered. The idea of picking a moss with the same name as the Dark Queen, the enemy of all ancient magical beings and Faefolk of Old, disgusted her. Elves, Fairies, Dwarves, Nymphs, Centaurs, Mermaids... The Elder Beings all knew Zhudora well, and most feared her. Solyss was no exception.
"Great. Perfect." Preania trudged forward, scowling as her combat boots soaked into the greenish mud. She was glad she'd chosen practicality over fashion-- her normal boots would have been ruined. She'd still taken time to make sure her outfit was good looking as well as durable, and she spent a half hour more making sure she could move easy in them in case of an emergency. Solyss had mocked her for caring about how she looked, but Preania wasn't gonna let an enemy see her in sweatpants and a t-shirt. No, that'd make her feel vunerable, and that was never a good thing. Especially... here.
[[ By the way, Preania's remembering her encounter with Mailiku, YEARS AND YEARS AGO, back with Neopets and whatnot. I've modified it a tiny bit so that she was scared when he had kidnapped her, since... Well, so much time has passed, and characters have changed so much, I don't think the details really matter anymore. xD;; ]]
