Risa's eyes widened as she watched a head pop out from the water. She stared at her in astonishment as she spoke her name, then introduced herself as Artemis. For a third time tonight, flashbacks went through her mind. The moon illuminated the woman's face. A much-needed smile crossed Risa's face and she threw herself into the river with her without a second thought to throw her arms around her. She burst into silent tears not long after doing so, whispering [color=AC5FFB]"Artemis, it's been so hard. I don't know what I'm doing."[/color]

She could not believe she was really here. It had been years since she had seen the mermaid. Risa had millions of questions but there was no room in her mind to even fit them. Risa cherished getting to see her again so much, but even now she knew she couldn't spend much time doing so. Kyran was missing. Elsea was left behind in the ball. Rinsing her face and sitting a moment had brought back some clarity and broke through her shock. 

Dionaea was dead. She had done enough schooling in healing to know when to identify it was too late to heal and the unfortunately vivid image of her corpse in her mind was obviously too far gone. Even if it hadn't been, it was completely impossible to know the location. Risa could not say she felt like sobbing about it. Her grief had remained a sort of empty feeling. The panic of not knowing where her other friends were was also loud in her mind. There was so much happening that she had no idea what to feel.

Risa let go of Artemis and climbed out to sit on edge of the stream, shivering. [color=AC5FFB]"How did you get here? Have you seen Kyran by any chance?"[/color] She asked quietly.
