Suddenly, something jolts past Felix and Anna. It is a unicorn, pure and white. He rears onto his back legs and lets out a whinny. Shaking his long mane, he drops down onto all-fours and continues to run in a large circle around the two. He shakes his mane as he runs, and even if one didn't understand the language of Unicorns, one could tell by his mannerisms that he was having quite the time of his life. His whinnies seemed to be laughs as he spouted them from his snout. After a few minutes of running around Felix and Anna, he runs into a field of purple flowers nearby and begins to graze, flicking his tail from side-to-side with delight.
Just then, a yelling could be heard from a distance. A breathy yelling. The kind of yelling you would hear from a friend who had been chasing you for miles in a game of tag. With attention now on the mysterious shouts from a distance, the silhouette of a person begins to run up the hill a few miles away. After a few moments, the silhouette gets closer and closer, revealing the true person behind the shadow. It is a beautiful, young Elven woman, calling after something. However, she does not make it to Felix and Anna. She falls to her knees from exhaustion several yards from the two of them.
Nerine smiles as Aleiia tells her of the land-animal she witnessed today. Nerine never really had too much of an interest in the land, not that she didn't visit from time to time. She preferred the water, the colder, the better. Nerine followed Aleiia as she swam and was quiet for a while. she spoke after a few minutes.
"Hey, Aleiia? You know how Liridale is kind of...forbidden, right?" she pauses for a moment and then continues, "Well...I was thinking...maybe...maybe I could go see it. I mean, I was born there and I have weird powers of ice which, I guess I got from there, but I don't know. I just...I want to find out more about myself and I feel like that's where it is..."
She knew she was asking a lot of Aleiia. Even if she didn't come with her, which she wouldn't want. It's dangerous there, especially for the princess. She wanted to go alone. So she explained,
"There's an old tunnel that leads to the waters of Liridale. It's protected by magic, but I think I can dispell it...I would just go over there, stay in the shadows and out of sight, learn a little bit, and then come back, easy as kelp!"
