Caught off Guard

Night felt stronger as Liz squeezed his hand and he moved forward as she did almost as if they were in sync. It was comforting and he felt as though her positive energy was affecting him. After he caught the elbow in his gut he stifled a cough and bowed as well.

Night was somewhat intimidated by the creatures size but he kept calm, Liz’s hand still in his. He listened to it as it spoke. He repeated the creatures name in his head as to not forget it. He looked down upon Liz as she looked back up at him with a smile. She seems definitely more excited about all of this than he did. He was getting adjusted to all of the wondrous things, creatures and plants that were making themselves known as if to occur only in dreams. He knew that Liz had much more of a child like spirit than he, obviously because she accepted all there was to see as reality. Night knew that he would have to learn to follow suit as well.

The larger Spreekalin that had watched them from the start stood silently for another moment before turning and making his way deeper into the woods, following a path. All of the Spreekalin watched Night and Liz slowly walk past where they harbored themselves in the trees. After each tree they passed that the creatures hung out of, they would howl with animal laughter and bounce through the trees onward, following the path as well.

Soon, they came upon another clearing. The creatures laughter seemed to disappear. Night was wondering why all of a sudden it had faded and as Liz looked up she gasped. She shot her hand into the air, pointing and in astonishment she said aloud “Look!!” Night looked to where she pointed and a whole city of tree houses scattered throughout the forest tree tops were an amazing sight to see. As Night stared upward he didn’t realize that he was falling backwards. His hand still attached to Liz’s he accidently pulled her down as well. She was jerked downward and fell onto his chest. “Aaah!!” She landed with a thud. Not the most comfortable things to land on but at least he technically didn’t let her fall. He laughed and sat back on his hands. “I suppose this place me in wonder too.. caught meself staring too hard and it knocked me on me arse.” He smiled at Liz and she laughed.
