This was wrong, it was so wrong.  She should not be following this insane sight.  A moving bunny doll bigger than her carrying a little girl.  But she didn’t want to be lost… alone somewhere where she couldn’t find her way.  She didn’t even know anything about this girl and the ‘thing’ carrying her.  More than likely this would end with her in an even worse position than cowering in fear in a corner.<br/><br/>Though, she watched the bunny, and did her best to keep up, she still almost lost the thing when it went around the corner.  That caused her to jog again to catch up before she slid to a stop upon seeing the pair staring at her in the dead end alley.  Tyora just stared back at the guardian before the girl spoke to get her attention.<br/><br/>Hearing the girl’s words caused Tyora to pale a bit.  Her friends already gone?  Though were they really friends?  It had only been a week on the ship together.<span style="color: Green">“Creature in the dark?  What happened to them all? What do you mean consumed?”</span>She really couldn’t get her questions straight, but she was honestly hoping that this creature, or some monster did show up.  Tyora wasn’t afraid of a creature or monster.  Something she could fight and kill.  It would distract her from her real fear of being lost.<br/><br/>All the girl’s words made the elf grip the dagger tighter.  Her knuckles whitening with the grip on the well-crafted, gleaming blade.<span style="color: Green">“… How… how can this place devour you?  It is just a place… and why can’t I find my way… you know my spell wouldn’t work…  My mother said it couldn’t fail...”</span>she half stammered out.  The fact that she didn’t really understand was not helping her get over her fear.<br/><br/>Of course, she was still trying to reign the fear in, being around someone else who wasn’t breaking down helped… and this girl seemed so calm.  Tyora wasn’t questioning it.<span style="color: Green">“Katrin.  That’s a pretty name.  I’m Tyora… I’m not sure what brought us here… it seemed the only way out of the ocean… and we were running out of supplies soon… we needed to get out of the ocean.”</span><br/><br/>She paused, not really sure how to answer beyond that.<span style="color: Green">“Katrin, do you know somewhere I can go to find my way back to my friends?  If I can find my way, I will not have any fear… if we can do that, I can take you to some others who wouldn’t want to hurt you… and we can get out of here.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
