Lights in the Water

"Whoa, that was so weird and trippy!" Mona exclaimed as we stepped out of the rift. She quickly glanced at me. Her eyes widened with amazement as I ended Soul's Aspect and my body returned to normal. "You look really threatening when you use that spell." She grinned. "I'm almost scared!"

I chuckled but didn't really say anything. I wasn't sure of how to respond to her playful attitude. "Oh, look! There's the river!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards a wide, shallow river in the distance. I went along while looking around to get my bearings.

We were in the massive sea of long grass. Close to where I killed the two demons chasing us, back when Asher first fell unconscious. 

Felt like ages ago – I wondered, had their kin recovered their bodies? I wished so. "Come on!" Mona's steps quickened as we approached the river.

When we arrived, she let go of my arm and quickly knelt by the shore. "Look!" She pointed at the water. "Come closer, Kai. See?"
