Chapter 2 The Human Village
Dyani and Aurora have been walking for a few days it was almost sunset when they arrive at a village next to a lake connected to a river Dyani reads the map " This should be the Human Village we can rest here before we get to the mountain behind it" Aroura sighs "Humans..." if there was one thing that both Winter and Summer Fawns could agree on is to be wary of humans so much that on the rare occasions they would team up agents them.
Aurora hides in her hoodie and Dyani hides in his hair and they walk in carefully people are out and about doing their daily stuff.
They walk then suddenly a blue-haired girl wearing a white and red jumpsuit falls landing on Aurora dropping her hoodie.
"ow!" Aurora yelps.
The girl rubs her head and looks at her " Oh I'm sorry!" she scoots off of her "You ok?" Aurora stands up and quickly hides in her hoodie again "Yeah..." " I'm Slor" " I'm Dyani and that's Aurora" he replies
Once Slor gets a good look at them she is confused "What are you?" she goes to stand up but then falls as she feels pain in her leg " Are you ok?" Dyani asks concerned and trying to change the subject.
" what were you even doing?"
Slor nods " Yes I'm fine I'm good at falling. I was practicing a stunt I wanted to do." She stands up but her leg hurts and she has to sit back down “Ow…”
"I thought you said you were good at falling."
"I am! Just not the landing part…"
"do you need help getting to a medical area?"
“ No I’m fine I can get there myself” She tries to walk but falls.
"yeah, we’re helping you."
They take Slor over to a medical building and a green-haired boy and a purple-haired girl come out.
They both sigh.
Slor looks nervous " H-Hey, Liam Mythias..."
Liam huffs " Again..." and takes her inside as she has a nervous smile.
Mythias looks at the kids “Thank you for taking her here who knows how long it would take her to come anyways” “This is normal?” Dyani asks.
“ Yeah, she’s a stubborn one who wants to do one thing and won’t take no for an answer.”
“We are looking for a place to stay for the night.”
“ Hm oh, there’s an inn not too far from here let me take you there.”
Mythias leads them to the inn and helps them get a room.
They thank her and go into a room.
It was a small room with two beds and a window showing the night sky.
Aurora flops on a bed face first and Dyani just sits on the other one “ I’ve never been this far from home before” Aurora moves her head to look at him “Honestly me either.. I’m not used to all this heat” she lays on her back and holds the crystal necklace “ what is that for” “ it’s a cold absorbing crystal every Winter Fawn get one the moment they are born basically they make it so we can live in the cold..” her thoughts wander off to something else and she gets sad but shakes it off.
"Knowing my mom she's probably going to send some guards to come find me.." Dyani noted. Aurora sighs " Don't get me wrong I love my mom but she can be really overprotective I don't really blame her tho my dad was killed by Winter Fawn before I was born..." " Oh...I'm sorry."
" Don't be it wasn't you who did it.."
The next day they wake up to Slor climbing in through the window.
" What th!-" "Hey time to get up! we've got shopping to do!" Dyani is groggy and confused. “ You helped me now I want to help you!” Slor drags them out of bed.
“ Hey, we don’t need help.” “ Do you have money to pay for anything?” Both Fawns go quiet.
“ Exactly I’m helping you.” she helps them pay for their room then takes them to a cafe.
“ Ian some of your famous breakfast please!”
They see a tan person at the corner with green hair and green eyes “Coming right up Slor” They sit at a table after a few minutes Ian comes out with three plates that have a combination of pancakes and waffles on them.
“ These are Ian’s famous Panfles they are the best thing ever!” Slor says excitedly already eating hers.
Aurora is hesitant but after seeing Dyani bite into his and makes an in awe face and eats the rest she decides to try it.
She ate a bite.
And it’s amazing.
It’s a warm, buttery sweetness with a crispiness, blending the best of both pancakes and waffles. The batter is rich, fluffier, and hints of vanilla. The crispy edges create a crunchy exterior, while the tender, fluffy inside melts into a soft, buttery middle.
Once they eat it all Slor pays for the food and they go to the market. They look at supplies and food.
While looking at the fruit stands they come across a pale brown-haired man and a kid in a wolf hoodie that looks way too big for her
" What do demons eat...?" The man mumbles.
"Hi, Lucas!" Slor waves at him
Lucas jumps and hides the child behind him " H-Hi Slor! Sorry I didn't see you there"
" It's fine anyway who's that behind you?"
" Oh..um...she's my friend's kid I'm just...babysitting for them for a while..."
They chat while the child pecks out looks at Dyani and Aurora and goes over to them.
She looks at them amazed "Your Fawn." she smiles.
" Um... no."
"Yeah, you are I can tell because of your noses."
"Well keep it down..." Dyani hushes her.
"You worried about the humans? I am too but this one is nice." She quickly shows them her tail and horns but one is broken before hiding again. " I'm Balor."
"Oh I've heard of your kind demon right?"
Balor nods as Aurora is getting confused.
Lucas quickly goes to Balor and leaves with her waving to the kids.
While finishing shopping a child with blue hair and a horn on her head in overalls comes up to them Slor gets really nervous.
" umm, can we help you??"
"I want that!" she points to the star clip that's on Aurora's head.
"No, it's mine!" Aurora snapped.
"W-we should go..." Slor urges.
"I want it!" she stomps her foot.
Aurora is getting annoyed fast " No!"
"No means no kid sorry." Dyani chims in.
Not satisfied with that answer she starts staring at them her swirl eyes start to spin creating a hypnotic feeling.
Dyani’s eyes turn into hers and he falls into a trance but Aurora doesn’t and is confused as unknown to her the star is glowing protecting her Slor is looking away terrified.
Angry that Aurora isn’t affected she orders Dyani to grab the star
" Yes, Dina," Dyani answered robotically. He reaches for the star " Dyani what are you doing!" yells Aurora trying to fend him off and they get exposed in front of everyone Aurora ends up poking Dyani in the eye and that gets him out of the trance.
"Ow! ...Wha..?"
" W-What are those!"
"Don't get close! They could be dangerous!"
" Hey, freaks get out of here!"
The people are starting to get scared and want them out of the village.
Dina giggles and runs off.
Aurora is mad and tries to go after her but the townspeople surround them.
Dyani gets scared and hides behind Aurora.
The people keep getting closer.
Then suddenly Slor grabs the two and runs off with them.
They run out of the village and hide.
“That was a close one…” Dyani pants “Why did you help us you are a human too..” Aurora questions Slor.
“ Simple you helped me now I want to help you too and go with you.”
“ We need to get to the top of that mountain.”
“ Why?”
Aurora sighed “ We’ll explain on the way.”
Slor nods as they get going.
