An early sunrise marks summers birth, light scattering through the forest and inward towards the ceremonial ground, embracing the central chapel and cabins surrounding in a warm morning glow. In through the windows, the shine brightens each cabin, that same morning glow, awakening a certain botanist from his slumber.

A small click sounded, door locking, as shoes clunk against the the wooden front steps, and the rustling of a woven basket in the rushed embrace of Azurewrath, traveling through the woodlands, going to gather materials for medicinal practices. That's what he prides himself most on, a unique knack for botany and medicine crafting, with each minute, Azures basket grows full, filled to the brim with various Flowers, Herbs and what not, notably the top has a layer of bloomed nightshades, they were posinous, no good for his practice, but they looked oh so beautiful, the botanist will have to display them on his windowsill. By now, his feet know the path home from memory, even a small trail of flatend tall grass from where he would walk, but, all roads end eventually, as his house pans into view.

Keys jingle in warm hands; light, shadowy footsteps approach from behind, turning his head, a familiar face stood next to a tree, a small, Crooked smile carved across their lips, bringing a smile to Azure as well, beginning to speak to his companion

" Two time! Dear friend, please come inside . "

Joy laced his tone holding open the door as two time scurried in with a nod, door closing behind them. The two friends kick off their shoes and head through to the living area, taking respective seats on the magenta couch, going to sit, to chat or perhaps just relish in the calm silence.

Afternoon approaches, the two of them travelling the village market, tracing each stall, Two Time holds a small pouch of coins, though they both know the bag is best spent on gifts for the spawn. Speaking of which, wandering the town square was nothing but an excuse to waste time before afternoon prayer, passing by shop, by shop, street after street, ticking down second after second.

A clock chimed, loud and demanding, ringing out 12:30, as they listened, they felt sweat run down their faces, Afternoon prayer begins in 5 minutes, the chapel where prayer is held is around 10 minutes away from the town by walking. Being late for a prayer is quite rude, and dishonorable, turning to each other, both in unison

"we should run."

Legs beating against smooth stone pathway, to a dirt trail off the main path toward the ceremonial area, wind whipping and whooshing through their hair, the breeze slowing them down as the duo ran, but still, going at this pace, they should make it just on time.

But. As it it seems, lady luck truly wasn't feeling too kind, especially not for Two Time, a sharp grey rock Pointed out of the trail path, foot catching on it, and falling face first into the dirt, twigs and pebbles poking at them. Azure, ever kind Azurewrath, immediately turned around, never willing to leave a friend. Rushing to kneel at their side, the shadows hands trail to their side, sore and stringing to the touch, Azures face only grew more distressed, hearing their friend wince at the new wound, with a sigh the botanist speaks

"Oh two... Come now, we won't attend the afternoon prayer, I'll treat your sores. "

Before they could reject, or complain, they were hoisted up on Azures back, face going a bright red, in embarrassment, right?

Azures cabin door snaps open, only to clink back shut as Azure rushed his friend to his bedroom, laying them down on the soft pillows, as he rushes off to get an aid-kit
This is when Two time noticed the nightshades Azure put in the vase earlier, the beautiful midnight purple, it matched him perfectly, in their state of awe, they failed to notice Azure pulling their shirt up and dabbing the wound with rubbing alcohol, taking Two Time by surprise with the stinging sensation it brought

"Azure! It's merely a bruise it's not that serious! Calm your-Oww! "

Two time winced as sticking patches we're placed against his side, feeling Azure squeeze their hand almost like instinct,, though it seems Azure noticed they had done this, with them both turning a hue of peach this time.

The duo spent the rest of the night chatting, and coming up with excuses as to why they missed both the afternoon prayer and night event. Though, Amarah and the over higher ups of the spawn were quite fond of two time, so they probably won't be in to much trouble.

Unfortunately time always passes fast when your having fun, waving goodbyes and good nights in the dark returning to their respective cabins, Azures was by far the farthest from the ceremonial ground, two times wasn't that close either, but they weren't far, a nice middle Point.

Azure turns toward the restroom of his cabin, brushing his hair and teeth, purple ended bangs falling in front of their face in a laze, though their hair is soon more messed as they begin coughing into their sink, a sudden lump in their throat, bringing up hoarse dry coughs, what's going on? Should I get cough medicine?
Thoughts like this crossed the nightshades mind, though they were soon pierced by the metallic taste in their mouth and the red splatters coating his sink in dots, eyes gone wide, but to distracted by more bloody coughs as his eyes begin to water, what is this stuck in his throat!? Though he would soon find out, as a soft fragile object floats down to his sink dish, the lump wasn't gone, but they weren't coughing anymore. Backing away from his sink, eyelids growing heavy, as they stare, just looking at the petal, deep purple in color, his heart begins to ache. Strange. They rush toward their room, laying down on his comfortable bed, mumbling questions about what he just saw, closing his eyes and
Drifting off.
