Eveline barely registered MC offer to hold her clothes, displeased at the thought of having her flowers taken from her again before the strange woman took off towards the bridge. 

It all seemed unreal, the shimmering blue light choosing the murky depths, much like the torrent cries of the animals damned to choose between the burning flames and the turbulent waters, the bridge folding on itself, the green light holder yelling words that failed to reach her ears as he made his way towards the two warriors in the middle, the strange woman who smelt of spice and dirt letting her hair fly free behind her yelling out something in that harsh tongue of hers, attempting to stabilize the bridge, the harsh clanking of gears seemed to summon a fury of blue specters, wild cats in shape, to the shores and air around all of them making the flower child back away from the shore back towards the safety of the forest as the messenger boy picked her up, granted she weighed little to start with, and placed her back within the circle of fireflies their soft glow gleaming off her dress and flowers before taking off towards the bridge leaving the slender girl alone as she watched the boy take off into the water.

Her thought was accompanied by the sharp cry from her owl friend as he warily circled the area the rest had disappeared at in the river, before returning to perch on a branch nearby. Eveline watched as the waters lapped at the edge of the shore bed taking a note from the owl's page and seeking safety in higher ground scaling a nearby tree the familiarity of the rough wood under her feet offered slight comfort as she watched the wild cats curiously.

She mused softly observing them before shaking her head. She had better things to worry about. flower child had a decision to make. Should she seek safety in the depths of the forest, still unsure of its wonders and dangers or follow the river in hopes to find where her friends would wash ashore at. She fidgeted slightly debating with herself, she had little need to keep others as company, she would be fine on her own but they had been nice to her. There was no scorn or begrudged kindness to their actions, they seemed genuine, the rest of them she could care little about but the other lantern was interesting to her as well. 

The owl clicked its beak at her in annoyance, watching the ghostly figures as his feathers ruffled in displeasure before flying off as if called away by an unheard source flying low and fluttering over the river, even the fireflies below her soon dissipated down stream as if falling the same call.

Nodding slightly at the thought the flower girl gave one last glance towards the blue specters before leaping from her tree to another, running a hand along the trunk for balance as she followed the fireflies and owl. As she moved the roar of the river and fire seemed to dull, all that she could focus on was the soft sound of her breathing and the soft crunch of bark under her feet. The constant thrum of her heart seem to egg her on after them. The thrill was back, the wonder of a new forest, of one not truly tainted y the greedy hands of humans, a soft giggle escaping the girls lips as she continued to travel through the trees the soft light of the fire flies illuminating the way in front of her. 

The darkness around her felt uneasy as if something was lurking patiently content with watching the outcome of the days events, after all the day never ended and the sun never rose.
