Seren
I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
Tilting her head in puzzlement, Seren tried to imagine a place where people did not help one another. But she could not. All she had faced since she came to this mortal realm was kind and generous and good. Even Loren, who hurt her father and Remi, and even Saiden, when he skewered a worm on the hook of a fishing rod. She understood the action better now - if not completely - and could forgive it. Fish was very tasty to eat, after all, and the fish had to eat too. It somehow fit together very nicely.
"Everyone is nice here too," she said generously, oblivious to the darker sides of Torchline. "Sunjata says it is warmer here. He is my friend, he lives with Nate in the house next to mine!" The girl beamed, very proud over having them both as friends. They were really tall, which was worth something even without listing all their other accomplishments.
She might have done that, if he didn't deliver a shocking statement in the midst of agreeing to her game. Seren stared open mouthed at the boy, shaken to the core. "You don't know what a seashell is?"
Quickly, she looked about their feet, and scurried off to find a few different kinds that the surf left bare in the wet sand. Returning quickly, she held them up. One was spiral shaped and round, like a snail's shell. One was spread like a fan, with grooves that lent it a comb shape. One looked like unicorns horn gone astray, and another could have been a recently opened bud of flower or leaf.
"Like these! But it needs to be blue. The bluest blue you can find. Mama says I can lure down a dragon with it!" The girl made to hand them over to Dante, so he could keep them and compare. There were many other things to find in the sea, but they would not be what she sought.

Come with the night the science of fighting
