Her flailing and splashing continued for a moment longer until her brain caught up with what had been said. She took her feet and planted them against the lakebed as she extended her legs. Standing up out of the water as she looked down at the water accusingly.[color=f7941d] “Right….I knew that all along, I was only testing all of you, that’s right, it was a test!”[/color] trying to explain herself, but by this point there was likely no point in doing so. Not a soul would ever believe her, especially not with her history and track record. [h1][/h1] Her sapphire gaze glaring down at the water of the lake, blue burning into blue. [color=f7941d]“Just you wait lake….just when you think you have won…I’ll have my revenge….when you least suspect it and when no one is looking…..just wait….”[/color] Whispering threateningly to the water around her. Vowing vengeance against it for nearly drowning her even though she had never been in any real danger. And despite the fact that the lake was inanimate and would never respond to her vow. [h1][/h1] At least that was what most would assume, but with Ayana anything was possible. Only seconds after her utterance, she had turned to begin making her way back up too the shoreline. The refreshing water having energized her to her core as she felt like an entirely new person. This was the cleanest she had felt since they had arrived. Plus its cool waters had filled her stomach and quenched her thirst, despite nearly drowning in it, it had been the best water she had ever had. [h1][/h1] Just as she thought she was safe, she awkwardly stepped on a slippery rock as her left foot flew out to the side and out from underneath her almost immediately. Sending her staggering off balance forward as she tried to reestablish herself, her eyes widening in surprise. [color=f7941d]"That was a cheap shot! going for the legs like a coward!" [/color]shouting out as it was too late, her weight was too far off to bring back and gravity was already doing its work. Heading straight for Asashi and Kogen was they spoke as she went head first tumbling in between the two with a crash and a thud. Rolling head over heel as she was only stopped by a nearby tree. Slamming into it with a thud and a cry as she ended up upside down. Grimacing as she started to rub her head, her gaze finally took notice of Asashi and Kogen, without righting herself. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d]“That is strange….this world really is weird…..first the lake kicked my ass twice…..now everyone else is walking upside down…..”[/color] The tumble having rattled what was left of her brain cells. Going for the fantastical explanation and not the practical one.
