Ferra’s Dream

Chapter 7

Ferra jumped into the water underneath the ice, her thick fur protecting her from the cold. She swam towards a hole at the bottom of the pond, then went through it. She found herself down a tunnel filled with water, after a moment, the space widened. Ferra’s head burst through the water, she inhaled the air. Ferra slowly got out of the water to look at the cave around her. This was where they met, this cave was hard to access, and there was room here for them to do whatever they wanted. Ferra saw something white emerge from a tunnel. She sat there, unalarmed. “You’re here early” she said as she turned to look at it. “Ah, well, some humans got a bit too close to where I was living, so I decided to spend the night here” it replied. “Fenic, you know you’re always welcome to stay with me”. Fenic looked at Ferra, his expression unreadable. They sat in silence for a moment, until Fenic broke it, “Well? What are you waiting for? Let’s play a game or explore the tunnels!”. Ferra sighed, she wanted to play with Fenic, but something didn’t feel right. Ferra listened to the element around her whisper and hum. She wished she could ask the element why she felt this way, as if it knew the answer. Fenic tilted his head, knowing something was wrong. Fenic turned to look at the dimly glowing walls. “You know, this place is filled with element, the call is stronger here. We could just lay here and listen to it if you want” his element necklace was glowing brighter than dimmer as if having a conversation and responding to the walls. “Y-yeah, if that’s okay with you” she stuttered awkwardly.
