in the middle of the forest there's a small pond. a small waterfall feeds it, though it doesn't drain. it is rumored that the pond is in truth bottomless, and because of this, the waterfall must constantly feed it or it will all fall away. of course, this is just a rumor. still, even those not open will sence something off when they enter this small place. the clearing around the pond is small, and the few rocks around the pond smooth, yet large. the eerie feeling never leaves. in the morning, when the mist rises from the waters and the rest of the forest, this place never has any. it's never cloudy or rains here, and no matter what, you can't come here unless you have no will to harm it.

Jinx had been hunting. She had brought home a poor set of meals this last week, and was hungry, so desperation had brought to this pond. She crept around the trees, her clothes blending in, looking for something to hunt, bow held ready.

((OOC. forgot to say that she wore leather pants and a cotton top)).
Twylar had been walking through the forest for ages and had run out of water when she spotted the pond. She walked up to it and looked into the water. It looked clean enough so she took the goat's bladder she used to carry water around in and filled it up at the running water of the waterfall.

from the edge of the trees an animal looking like some type of deer, though unlike any others seen, for it was the size of a horse and it's fur puffy and thick, though soft. it fearlessly walked out to the stream, not caring about the figure by the waterfall and took a drink before laying beside the pond and resting its head on the cool earth. ((lol. thought she was just naked... *sarcasm*))

Jinx took aim. It seemed easy enough to hit it, and she, was after all, the best shot among her people. She took careful aim and let fly, watching the arrows unhindered progress towards the animal, already proud of herself.

the animal jumped up at the sound and ran out of the way onto the water. the creature seemed to be walking on the water, his hoofs letting out a faint blue glow. he stopped at the center and made a low rumbling sound. as he did this, bubbles came from the water. after a moment, a hand stuck out and placed itself on the water as if it were ground. after that, another hand did the same. then, a boy raised himself out of the water, first to his knees, then standing on his feet directly on the water. he placed his hand on the animal and stroked it, calming it. his long hair and clothes weren't even damp as he turned his head, looking at the two women. "what have you done to scare my lyran?" speaking of the animal. he looked to the women with his eyes, their kindness masking pain.

Jinx walked into the clearing and sat down in full veiw of everyone, sighing. "I was hungry" She said, sulkily, looking at the floor.

" What no gee thanks for saving my animal?" asked Twylar spitefully.

the boy pat the animal and wispered in its ear. the animal gave a light nod and a quieter sound, similar to the one before then walked off into the forest. the boy walked over to the two women and looked them over. "what are you doing in a place like this?" his voice soft and kind. "it's pretty far... do you live close by?" his eyes filled with curiosity over these two, not a tinge of fear for either.

"I live nearby I guess." Jinx said to the floor.

"I don't live anywhere" said Twylar coldly as she finnished filling up her goat's bladder water holder. "and I'm leaving now" she added.

the boy held up his hand as his friend came back with somethings in his mouth. the boy took one item from it and took it to twylar, handing it to her and smiling kindly "for you. thank you for helping him" the item was a rather large rabbit, very tasty and filling. he took from the animal the other item and walked to jinx. "you must be hungry too." smiling as he handed her a similar rabbit.

Jinx looked up, suprised and took it. "Thankyou..." She said, then looking at the ground again.

((OOC. damn I forgot to mention the cloak. Meaning she wears one))
"Thanks" she replied and turned heading for the shelter of the trees.
