The young fairy’s surprise, then smile and quick submerge into the water caused Artemis to chuckle. She pulled her into a firm hug and didn’t let go until almost a minute later. Tears streamed down her face as well. When she did let go, she turned to cough again and patted her chest with a scowl. She watched the airy rinse her face and moved hair out of her eyes with a softness she often did not reveal. Next, Artemis pulled herself out of the water and leaned back on her arms. She stared at the night sky and the stars, twinkling pleasantly over them, as if they hadn't a care in the world. She envied those in Roshmi city, not involved with anything. Artemis studied the sky once more for any more threats then turned to Risa. 

How did she get here? That would be a long story. She’d have to edit it for her sake. Artemis cleared her throat again and smiled faintly. There was a deep sadness in her eyes. Her mind raced to Darius and Myra. Why hadn’t he run after her as well? Their trio should have left after the dances. Would he feel betrayed? Surely that bastard demon inside would feed that darkness. The commotion from Risa’s speech had been a huge part of it. Artemis had been terrified and faltered prior to telling him. Once he knew, he was in danger and she didn’t want anymore for him. River and Shade did affiliate with Aklenroth; however, they had their own slew of danger and treachery. She did not want him involved with that, so it was perhaps best she had left to save Risa. 

[color=mediumturquoise]”It’s a long story, and probably not one for tonight. Why don’t we get ourselves out of this damned forest for now and into shelter? And a new change of clothes perhaps, Little One?”[/color] Artemis smiled faintly and ruffled her hair gently. [/color]
