The sun sky high. The rays blazing onto the forest floor. Going through the trees, casting the shadows on the floor. Trying to find a place to rest and tk find water. I walk along the path just wondering until I see a glint. I walk over in the direction of the glint and I see a lake. A peaceful lake with birds chirping. I go over to a more hidden area of the lake and a take some water to drink. So good! It goes right down my throat taking the dryness with it. I sit there in the area just watching the lake and the birds enjoying the peacefulness of the area.

I don’t know how long I sat there, but I started hearing footsteps. They were quit and you could barly hear them. But they made me on high alert. I slowly took out my gun, aiming it in the direction I plan to shoot, waiting for the person to show up. Breath, breath, breath. I keep telling myself, you’ll be fine. Am I fine? I don’t know, I just want this to end.

“Please put down your gun.” A voice came from the trees. But I don’t dare put it down. But the voice is a guy. Who is this stranger?

“Why must I put it down? Who are? I won’t shoot but please show yourself so I know you’re not a threat.” I say with such calmness i am almost scared of myself.

“Alright fine.” He steps out of the trees. His body is a light green with a mix of yellow while his hair is above shoulder and such a darker green with flowers in his hair. He is wearing boots with a white tunic and brown pants. “I don’t mean no harm, my name is calix, and I am a nymph and I assume you are to.”

“Well calix, I am a nymph. What do you want?” Calix…an intersting name, I thought nymphs were girls or women but I can see they are not all the same.

“I come in peace don’t worry, but why are you here in our clan territory?” His voice full of concern and a but of confidence but I won’t tell him everything just a half truth. I don’t know him so why should I trust him.”

“I did not know that, but I am running, for i don’t have a clan of my own”

“You dont? What a shame, would you like to join ours? Also, may I ask, what is your name?”

“My name is lamnoria, and dont you have to ask the council to have other nymphs join a clan?”

“Well Lamnoria we don’t have a council but I know they will accept you” wow, he has a lot of confidence. I don’t entirely believe him though.

“Fine, I guess.” I am weary of all this but you know what? I need a change for once, tired of being on the run.

. . .

I wait where calix put me. Listening to all the chatter going on. Seeing all the glares. But I wait patiently. Trying to not worry of my surroundings, but it’s hard to do so. So will just glare my way through. Hide my thoughts and intentions.

I see calix come up to me. His walking full of pride. Is he always this prideful? I doubt but it’s hard to tell.

“Welcome to the clan!!” Wait, I am accepted? What you know, thought I would not and have to leave.

“What a surprise so what do I do?”

“Well you can have my good friend Cassie help you out!” Cassie? Who is Cassie? A good friend? I don’t I have to wait and see.

I see a nymph come out. Long hair a flowers in hair, green but not the same green as calix. Wow, how is she that beautiful? I guess most nymphs are.

I see calix look back toward Cassie, and I see something in his eyes. A look of affection? And she looks in his eyes, with a different look that I can’t really place. But they seemed to have exchanged a conversation between them.

“Hi, lamnoria! I am Cassie! You’re going to be with me cause you’re new, welcome to the clan!” She is polite but chipper.

“Well Cassie and lamnoria I will leave you two to it!” He goes off after his words. My heart is racing. All of this is way too sudden.

“Well lamnoria you have any questions?” Well I do have one since she asked.

“What is your relationship with calix?”
