Aurelia
So never fear to feel good
when everything's wrong
when everything's wrong
Aurelia's heart sank as she scanned the springs. The shimmering surface held no secrets, and the crevices in the rocks revealed nothing of value. No gold or turquoise petals, just the cold, hard truth of her failure. Her lips curled into a frown as she let out a low, disappointed sound. She glanced at Melita, who was equally unsuccessful in her search.
"Well..." Aurelia paused, her voice laced with resignation, "worth a shot, I suppose." If they hadn't come, they would have missed their chance entirely. Ignorance and timing were fickle beasts.
She sat on a nearby ledge and began to shed her boots. "Might as well enjoy the springs while we're here," she muttered. She peeled off her socks, her clothes, until she was left in her undergarments. Then, she slipped into the soothing waters, submerging herself completely. The warmth enveloped her, relaxing muscles she didn't even know were tense.
When she surfaced, she pushed back her wet hair and turned to Melita. Her mind raced with a thousand questions, and a few apologies too. But she settled on one, a burning curiosity that had been gnawing at her since the bar. "If I remember correctly, you promised to tell me more about becoming a demi-god. What... what happened?"
