The Legend of Ellanora (Ep4)

Gigabyte whimpered behind her as Ella drew her bow. She hadn’t even realized she had one until it was in her hands. Meanwhile, a figure emerged from behind a rock. Ella prepared to fire, but she realized, it was a kid! No older then 7, either. She lowered her weapon and came out to greet them, but the kid quickly reacted and tripped her. “Oh sorry.” The kid said with zero regret in her voice. “Thought you were... someone else. I’m Rikera.” (Ree • KAR • a) she lowered her hand to help Ella up. They were surprisingly strong. “Thanks.” Ella said, still trying to figure out why a seven-year-old was out here alone. “Where are your parents?” Ella said, looking around. Rikera stalled a moment before saying, “dead.” “Oh... I’m so sorry...” Ella looked to her feet. She felt bad for bringing it up. “Eh. It’s fine. I get that a lot.” Was it just her, or was there doubt in Rikeras voice?
