At the entrance of the cave, Dionaea still felt rushed and confused. Her body felt heavier than usual, still wanting to rest her weary bones. She knew this wasn't a moment of play and laughter, and that if it was under any other circumstances they would have let her rest, if only for a few more minutes. Risa's fingers interlaced with her's under the incoming pool of water, she explained the ongoings of this morning while she was asleep. A shiver ran up her spine as the chilly water went well above her petite waist, if it got any deeper it would be over her head. Risa made light of the situation, and Dionaea laughed for the first time in what seemed like ages. [color=ee4c5b][b]"Some of us need it more than others."[/b][/color] she cooed, a smirk forming on her pink lips as she squeezed both Risa's hand (in front of her) as well as the hand of the sweet one, who she learned was named Elsea.

Reaching dryer land, Dia outstretched her wings and fluttered them slightly to shake off some of the dew. Water was not the best thing for wings, and a heavy enough downpour could leave them even tattered. Darkness was surrounding them in a tight hug. The young fairy did not mind the dark, as night time usually came with many unique and interesting animals of Avalia.

"They are so big, are they giants?"
"Do not speak so loud, be quiet, stay still!"[/color][/sub]

The small voices of a family of arachnocampa in their larva stage talked to one another as they glistened from the ceilings along with their brethren of many other voices. Dionaea tuned them out, putting her hand out in front of her, she could not see her own flesh in the darkness of the cave but slightly, from the glow of the worms that hung like string above them. Sitting down, she folded her hands gently into her lap, running along the fabric of her dress and squeezing out some of the excess water.

The others encouraged Elsea to create a flame, and Dionaea put in her encouragement as well, [color=ee4c5b][b]"Emotions will always take toll on magic. Sometimes when I am angry or upset the voices of animals are just noise, you have to take a breath and just let it flow through you Elsea."[/b][/color] she said, nodding. Elsea complained, it wasn't working. 

Dionaea wondered if all humans were a bit dysfunctional.

Suddenly a sudden burst of light and heat lit up the dark cave. The gasp startled Dia more than the flame as she returned a small gasp, pulling her legs up quickly to her body. The warmth had felt amazing for the brief moment, and the light was a nice change of tune. The sweet one tried again, this time a small and more manageable light but still illuminating the cave and the group. [color=ee4c5b][b]"You did it Elsea!"[/b][/color] Dionaea cheered, taking a moment to admire the breathtaking light show that danced along the walls.

[sub][color=6ecff6]"HEY! Turn that bright light out!"[/color][/sub]

The young fairy laughed out loud, giving a toothy grin. It was moments like this in life that made the bad times worth it.
