Once I finished the story, Shorty had already fallen asleep snuggled into her blanket.

I sat back down on the edge of the cliff, away from the fire's light and warmth.

I looked back at the camp where Cailin was kicking multiple things in her path, mostly out of rage.

When she noticed I was watching, she immediately stopped and the shadow across her face reappeared, covering up her one terrifyingly angry face.

We seemed to hold a stare for a long time, both of us trying to search each other's eyes for emotion.

Finally, after a while, Cailin sauntered over next to me, sitting on the cliffs edge once again. Her face was still plastered with the shadow.

The silence was so unbearable that I was so terribly tempted to pull out my guitar. But I didn't want to break the tension in a bad way.

"Do you believe..." Cailin started, causing me to flinch in surprise.

"...that even the worst person can change...that-"

"Everyone can be a good person, if they just try?" I finished, cutting her off. It was her turn to flinch.

Undertale trash for life.

"Yeah..."

"Of course I do. I mean, I was mean once."

"Tch," Cailin said...like I always thought she would in real life....
"Yeah right. You're the nicest person I know."

"It wasn't always that way though..."

"..."

It was time for silence again, creeping up our shoulders until it strangled us both.

I started singing again. Without music.

Water and light
This is us
History falling down
Hope rising up
We're the here and now
All that came before
Can not stay asleep
We're not children anymore

We can fight the dark
This is who we are
There's a new light coming
Finally had enough
Finally waking up
To who we are becoming
Open your eyes!

Will you be my love
Will you go with me
Are you who I dreamed?
Or just a memory
Will you understand
What I have to do
Will you be the man
The one I thought I knew

Into the deep blue
We'll do this together
Water and fire
Reach higher
There's no turning back

Open your eyes!

We can fight the dark
This is who we are
There's a new light coming
Finally had enough
Finally waking up
To who we are becoming

Open your eyes!

"Could you stop that?" Cailin whispered. "Making every song relate?"

I smiled, before Shorty screamed.

Things, lots of them.

Good job at classification Gracie.

"Trolls!" Cailin screeched and pulled out her sword.

I was frozen in place.

Cailin raised her sword to stab but the troll dodged and swung at her. She jumped over the high up arm and held out her wrist where her gem was glowing.

Suddenly, many purple glowing swords surrounded the troll and clashed against the rough skin.

Magic?

Shorty had ducked for cover from a troll with a huge club. She held out her hand with a green gem placed it, and let the glow pierce the dark of night.

Vines grew everywhere, strangling the clubbed troll and a few others around.

So... If shorty is nature...and Cailin is Sparring...then what am I?

Peoples

Me
