Chapter 13

 As the hours passed, our edge became overwhelming, waiting for the storm to pass felt like days. Eventually, the sun started to shine and birds began to sing, knowing that the storm had finally passed we quickly left the cave. Upon exiting the cave, I was kissed by the sun's warmth, it felt comforting, I looked around to see everyone else's reactions. Aella was running and jumping around that the storm was over, Cephas looked relieved, taking off his hat and repositioning it, Daiki on the other hand, while physically calm, his eyes showed distress, holding the sleeping Brier close to him. Cephas noticed the tension stirring in Daiki, "Here.. I'll hold her for a bit, you stretch your branches ok?", Cephas said while reaching for Brier. Daiki, a little hesitant, gently hands Brier over to him, Daiki then stretches his arms and legs from being in the cramped space. "Is anyone hungry? I know a good Fish spot!!", Aella said excitingly while jumping around. "Im starving..", I said while giving a slight sigh while everyone else nodded in agreement. "Alright Alright Let's Go!!!-", Aella said before he sped off in an instant. I looked around for Aella to see where he went, but he was gone in a flash, I looked at Cephas in confusion. "Just give him a second.", Cephas said while letting out a slight sigh, in a moment's notice, Aella ran back and appeared in front of us again. "Right, I forgot- It's this way." Aella said while pointing east, we all slightly chuckle and start heading to the fishing spot.

 During the travel, Brier remained comatose which only left Daiki with more worry, to pass the time and distract everyone, I thought of a game. "Hey.. Do you want to play a game?", I said. "Oh? What type of game?", Cephas said as he was repositioning Brier into a more comfortable position. "A Game?!? I like games, I love games, I really really like games, What game?!", Aella said while jumping around me, releasing a massive burst of sudden energy. "Well, how about a game of I Spy?", I said with a slight chuckle. "What game is that?", Cephas said with slight curiosity. "Oh- Well, it's a game where you look around, pick something, and say a clue about what you picked, here I'll go first.", I said while looking around for my object. "I Spy with my little eye… something purple. Now try to guess what my object is.", I said. "Hmmm… is it…. that purple tree?", Cephas said while pointing to the purple tree on the right. "Nope, try again.", I said while giggling a bit. "Is it the leaf, my fur, Brier's skin, is it the!-", Aella said while listing almost everything purple in the area. "Woah Woah Woah..! Slow down. You can only guess 1 thing at a time.", I said while giving a slight sigh. "Ohhh Ok, sorry.. I got a little carried away.", Aella said, giving a nervous chuckle. "We noticed", Cephas said while chuckling. "Don't make fun of me! It's not my fault your brains can't catch up to my speed." Aella said, lifting his chin and crossing his arms. "Well, none of those options are correct anyway.", I said, which left Aella shocked as he thought he listed everything purple he could think of. Daiki on the other hand took his time to analyze the environment, he then looked at me and motioned something. "Ohhh, he is asking if its the purple flowers in Briers hair.", Cephas said while pointing at the flowers. "Yes it is! Good Job Daiki!", I said and everyone laughed a bit. "Now, you're turn Daiki.", I said while looking at him. We played for what only seemed like minutes, we all laughed and had a lot of fun taking turns. We quickly arrived at the fishing spot Aella mentioned, and it was a giant lake that had several fish jumping through the water. The water was clear and glistened in the sunlight, like a scene that can only be taken from a painting. "Last one in is a rotten Kufi!!", Aella said as he ran into the lake. "What's a Kufi..?", I said while looking at Cephas. "Oh, it's a fox from a storybook, its complicated..-", Cephas said as he chuckled. "Oh~", I said with a giggle, "You can have fun! We'll wait here!", I yelled. The next moments were relaxing and breathtaking, however, what happened next was short of a miracle as Brier had finally opened her eyes.
