Risa did not wake up early often but today, she had been the first one to wake. Her eyes had fluttered open to the dimmed room, her vision being slow to register objects around her. So instead, she stared up at the wooden ceiling. It was familiar, but it was not her home. She furrowed her brows, resting her arms on the soft blanket on her body. Information was downloading to her brain as she recalled the night before. It took everything not to yelp out in surprise as the last situation she remembered being awake in made adrenaline course through her veins. She looked around wildly, her gaze fixating on the nearby red bunch of hair a few inches away from her. She turned on her side to stare at Kyran. He seemed to be in good health. Poor guy was passed out, exhausted. They had not slept in the same bed since they were kids but it did not feel uncomfortable. She felt closer to Kyran and Dionaea than her own parents sometimes. She pulled the blanket up over his shoulder to keep him warm. She rubbed his cheek for a moment and smiled. 

Slowly, she began to dislodge herself from the blankets and place her bare feet onto the wooden floor. She was careful and dainty with her steps. The cool touch of the wood to her bare feet made her shudder.  Risa glanced around. Hades was missing but he always went in and out of areas. He never sat still. She was sure he was informing her parents. Dionaea looked like Sleeping Beauty herself, tucked into her bed with her lovely blonde hair falling off the pillow. The human was asleep sitting up, probably tuckered out from the long night. 

[i]Poor soul. [/i] She thought sympathetically. It was quite cruel now that she really thought of it. He had been plucked out of his world and thrown into theirs. Maybe if things had been different, he could have appreciated the wonderful magic and life that Avalia possessed. It was hard not to enjoy. There were sights he could never behold in his world that Risa had felt so blessed to be able to lay her eyes on. However, this man had been thrown into violence and cruelty immediately. Still, he had come here close to near-death so maybe he felt better off here. 

Risa had never healed someone so terribly hurt before. In different circumstances, her mother and teachers would have been so proud. Though she was sure her mother would have worried over putting her life in danger for a stranger. Despite it, Risa felt pretty good this morning.  She often did not need much sleep to shake off the weariness. Perhaps all the practice of healing small creatures in the forest had really worked out in her favor. Risa could not turn away any animal in need, not even an insect. 

The young fairy moved over toward the door, opening it only a crack so the sunlight would not pour in and wake her friends. After squeezing her slim body through the crack, she shut it behind her. Her waist-length, rosy hair billowed out in the morning breeze, appearing larger in mass due to the petite body it was attached to. The sun was barely peeking out over the horizon through the trees. It was dawn. The sky was a beautiful assortment of hues of warm colors that contrasted the greenery around them. The sounds of birds chirping and other creatures waking up for the day could be heard. Peace could be found in even the darkest of times.

Risa took a deep breath, letting the peace move her to better emotions before she moved back into the tree home. It only took a quick sweep of her eyes to know that this had been her brother's secret home. He had used this more secluded home to get away and do his studies in private. Their parents owned a few homes here and there. She would never brag or speak of it, but her family was one of the wealthier ones due to their royal ancestry. Her mother had been a princess a hundred years back. Her grandfather had been king of the River Fairy Kingdom. 

The aroma of sweetbreads quickly lured Risa toward the table. She began to unload the basket as quietly as possible, arranging breakfasts for everyone. Berries were equally placed into four plates first. Then, Risa sliced up apples to place in everyone's plates. That took a bit of time but then she began to busy herself with the jam. It was a sweet yet tangy raspberry and ludiberry, a fruit native to Avalia, mix. She spread it out on a couple of pieces of the white, spongy bread. She would have loved to bake it for them but they did not seem to have an oven. The last thing in the basket seemed to be about a dozen eggs. [color=AC5FFB]"Oh dear,"[/color] She whispered under her breath. These would have to be cooked. 

She stood up with the eggs with a pout. Risa then recalled a memory of a firepit arranged behind the home, grabbing a black pot.  She tip-toed out of the home once again to the outdoors. She ran to the other side of the house once outside and crouched down by the circle of rocks. There was some firewood thankfully in the middle and also by the back of the tree, stacked up. She got to work starting a fire, something she was terrible at. It had taken her thirty minutes to figure it out. She began to arrange some sticks and a plank of wood to create something fit to boil her eggs on. Water had been necessary of course, so Risa had hurried over to a nearby lake to fill the pot before putting the eggs in. 

Risa brought the boiled eggs soon after and began to arrange them onto everyone's plates. She couldn't wait to surprise everyone with the breakfast she had prepared! Her mother had taught her there was no better way to show love than with a meal. It would make them all feel better after a long night. Her own stomach began to rumble at the different smells of the food but she knew she had to wake for the others to awaken. She decided to go and sit outside so she didn't have to stare at the delicious food while she waited. Risa kept the door a crack open so that she would hear when they awoke.

The grass was cool yet comforting to sit in. Risa laid her legs out and leaned against the trunk of the tree, her eyelids shut as she relaxed. Seemingly loud tweeting filled her ear, making her eyes open. A yellow canary sat on her shoulder, tilting his head at her. [color=AC5FFB]"Oh sweetums,"[/color] Risa cooed and began to gently move the back of her index finger over his belly. [color=AC5FFB]"You always find me, my beautiful boy."[/color] She giggled at his happy chirps in reaction, continuing to pet him as she awaited the others.  Risa hummed quietly a song to the bird, knowing how much he enjoyed music.
