Snippet #2144952

Rilletta stumbled, unsure of how to use her legs. It was as if she were a baby with weak legs that had not yet learned how to walk. Occasionally, the Siren fell but Golith was always there to help. The blue dress he'd put her in was uncomfortable - she did not understand why she had to wear the strange-looking blue leaf over her skin. She did not take it off, though, because it at least helped with blocking the sunlight.

Holding Golith's arm, Rilletta steadied herself just as she was about to fall. Her legs were tiring her but she needed shade - the sun was burning hot. The dragon-boy had given her strange ocean pearl lookalikes that relieved some of her pain. Every inch of her skin still stung but at least the agony in her legs had subsided into an annoying ache. Rilletta had attempted to speak as they walked but never more than a few senseless words.

"Water," Rilletta announced in her odd accent. She sniffed the air, her small nose twitching. Letting go of the light haired boy, she wobbled towards a secluded lake. A branch slapped her in the nose. She blinked in complete shock. "Begone!" she yelled, crouching and hiding her head under her hands. "Begone, strange snake! Rilletta is Siren!" In a huff, she stood and after giving the tree branch a hard glare, stalked away towards the body of running water. An intricate, gold thing with a stout sat on the banks. It looked like a strange clam...

A lamp.

"Bird," she called, glancing back at the dragon-boy. "Golden clam!" she declared. Picking up the strange thing in her delicate hands - Rilletta rubbed the lamp.
