Three days. They've been inside the Storm Spire with The Dragon Queen, Zubeia for three days now and Callum was working on his stupid Sky magic with Ibis. Ezran was always talking with Zubeia, explaining their journey and what happened. Rayla. Rayla was, as always, on guard. She had a feeling that somehow, Viren had survived. She has seen firsthand what that man could do, as well as what his damned daughter could do. Claudia. What kind of name was that? Rayla didn't know. She was deep in thought when someone grabbed her shoulder. On instinct, she spun around, whipping out her blades. "Whoa! Chill!" Soryn exclaimed, backing up. Rayla closed her blades and put them away. "You're an idiot." She huffed, standing up straight "What do you want?" She asked. "Callum was asking for you. He said he has something for you." Soryn said. "I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it's something special." He winked before walking off. Rayla rolled her eyes, taking a deep breath before beginning to search for Callum, who she found pretty damn quick. "Callum." She sighed. "You needed me?" Callum took a deep breath. "Yeah. I got you some Moon Berries. Do you want them?" He asked, holding a cloth with red berries inside. Rayla nodded. "Sure." She smiled gently. Rayla's hair was tangled at the ends; unkempt and dirty. There was a small waterfall that fell into a small pond in one of the sections of the large cave, but Rayla wouldn't dare touch it. Not while alone at least. But someone there with her while she was bathing? Just the thought of it made her uncomfortable. "Um. When was the last time you bathed, Rayla?" Callum softly asked as to not anger her. Rayla shrugged. "I don't know. A couple of days ago? Maybe a week? Not sure." Callum sighed, gently grabbing Rayla's hand and leading her into the section of the cave that housed the waterfall. "Callum. No. Absolutely not." Rayla spoke, pulling away from him. "You need to bathe. No offense, but you're a mess. I'll stay here with you. I promise I won't look." "I could care less about that I-" Rayla was cut off by Callum pushing her into the waterfall. It wasn't very deep but Rayla didn't really know how to swim. She began to panic, screaming before Callum called out to her. "You can stand up! It's not that deep!" He was obviously trying not to laugh. As Rayla realized she could stand up, she hid her face in embarassment. "Go away." She grumbled, flipping Callum off. Callum grumbled and walked out of the section, leaving Rayla to bathe.
Rayla grumbled, mumbling to herself as she stood in the water. She sighed, undressing her self and putting her soaked clothing on a rock next to the waterfall. She made her way over to the edge of the waterfall, sitting down on a slightly raised ledge, looking down at the water and letting her mind wander...
Thank you for reading! I am very slow when it comes to updating books, but I will try my very best.
