Uvinia

Cellorys was expecting anything from a playful response to a slap on his cheek, but the sounds that came out from the fairy's mouth (For a lack of better term, but in songs fairies were always very tiny.) left him with his mouth hanging slightly open, puzzled at what in the heavens did those noises mean. The fairy seemed frustrated at him because he couldn't understand her, and he was about to apologise when he noticed it would be in vain since she couldn't understand him anyway.

The least he could do was pay attention as she drew something on the ground with a stick she found somewhere, and try to understand them. The drawings could be her walking away from the village Cellorys was staying at, or she could be asking if he came from there. Looking around, he found another stick and grabbed it to add some pictures. He drew another stick figure, this one with a small circle as a backpack. He drew himself several times, going in direction to the village. And in the other side of the drawing, he added some trees, hoping the fairy would get the idea that there is a forest in the place he came from.

The fairie clasped her hands and nodded with a wide smile on her face, then she pointed at the first figure and then to herself. Then she pointed at the second and back up to the elf and smiled while nodding and then she made walking motions with her first two fingers on her left hand towards the drawn village. She was sure he understood her now!

Cellorys chuckled at the girl's motions. Then he remembered a storm was coming this way. Maybe it had reached the forest already. It wouldn't be a problem if the fairy wasn't bothered by rain, but it was dangerous to stay in a place full of trees if there was chance of a lightening striking the forest. Even worse, that place wasn't particularly wet, so if a lightening happened to strike a tree, there was risk of starting a fire. Of course this was only a worst case scenario, but he didn't lose anything warning her. But... how?

Using the stick, he drew some clouds and other lines he hoped looked like rays, and dots that were the rain, above the forest. To the left, he drew more forest, this time surrounded by curvy lines symbolising flames. He looked up at the girl, expectant, hoping she understood what he meant.

At first she was confused by the artwork but soon it became apparent what was meant and she looked skyward and then again at the woods. She frowned again, no pout this time, and closed her eyes. Her wings fluttered and she looked as if she was about to take flight. Then Mari began to glow as her head went back and then it died away and she settled back into her 'normal' appearance. Turning to the elf she smiled and again said something in that beautiful lyrical voice of hers and then took the stick and began to erase the fire in the drawing.

"Don't you understand?"

Elswyth only tilted her head again at his question, confusion found its way to her frustration. Her attention was soon shifting from the Larak to the incoming stream of water. She bounced unable to fly yet and gave into the smallest sprint imaginable. Munnin lowered his head and just stayed close to the fire and cawed at the man. Elswyth look at Larak and pointed to herself and said.

"E..ee...Elswyth"

she introduced herself to him and then pointed at him and then over to the water.​

Cellorys observed her with attention, his mouth hanging slightly open. He hadn't done anything offensive, and the girl didn't seem to have a hostile aura, but the weird lights show put him on guard. As the girl erased the drawings he had made on the ground, in an attempt to communicate with her, he grabbed his short sword and mumbled 'I mean no harm, whatever you're doing stop it; I don't want to fight.'

As soon as he reached for the sword Marinda backed up one then two steps, her eyes going wide in fright. Dropping the stick she turned to run, she had been warned by some elders of human types that loved death so much that they would rather kill you first then talk after, she had always thought it silly, but now... she knew they had meant what they had said!
