Two months passed since Robin's arrival at the orphanage, weeks in which Eira did her best to avoid him at all costs, however, it seemed impossible. There wasn't a single place where she didn't run into him, and every time they did, Robin would start a small talk with her, in which Eira could only lock eyes with him while inwardly begging for it to end. It seemed that fate was playing with her, forcing her to meet him at every opportunity. And that day was no exception.
Eira was walking happily through the garden when she met Robin, who stubbornly insisted on joining her in her break. After considering it for a few seconds, she made a small hand gesture and fled at full speed without giving him a definite answer, after all, she was a coward and couldn't outright refuse him. Still, he didn't give up, chasing after her at an impressive speed while emanating a terrifying aura.
'Darn it, why doesn't he just give up?' she thought in frustration.
She ran insistently around the garden, hoping that Robin would lose interest soon, until she spotted that outstanding oak tree where she had been hiding during their unfortunate meeting and moved towards it. She moved her legs as fast as she could and touched the trunk while breathing heavily.
It was then that she noticed that the atmosphere had become unusual. The plants looked healthier, exotic and colorful flowers covered the landscape, accompanied by a small pit surrounded by tall, leafy trees. The sun's rays gently illuminated the place, giving it a majestic atmosphere. She looked at the place where she had come from, searching for the exit, however, it had disappeared, causing her to sigh with resignation and finally decide to observe everything around her attentively.
After her little observation, she was completely delighted. Eira wandered into the unfamiliar place, admiring every corner of it as she wondered to herself where she was. The deeper she went into the place, the more peculiar things became around her, the leaves of the trees turned blue, the grass to a purple color and a soft golden dust floated around her. Fascination, that was the emotion that invaded her, for a moment, she felt like she had stepped into a fairy tale. Till she felt her foot crush something.
It was a small blue flower with violet polka dots, which now lay crushed on the ground, releasing a white, slimy substance. Feeling guilty, she bent down to observe the flower in more detail, looking for some way to rescue it. Regrettably, she found no such thing, resigning herself as she internally apologized to the flower's owner.
She stood up slowly, ensuring that she couldn't damage any other flowers and just as she was about to turn around, she felt something cold and sharp land on her throat as a large hand rested on her shoulder.
- Who are you, and how did you get here?
