At the densest section of the forest, there is a brief clearing where a steady flow of water streams down the slippery stone staircase. The water here is cool and refreshing. Staircase Falls has been rumoured to be the place where reality is met by magic; where peaceful spirits dwell. They are rumoured to have healing powers that are used to help the desperately hurt, though no one has experienced this, except for, perhaps, Kaive.

Puzzlement; that is all Amatus can read off of the lady’s dear face, the features seem warily unsure as her head lifts up from the ground. This makes him wonder about her, had she had no friends? No one to lean on in the best of times, what had happened to her in the past? Sure, he has heard about the bad misfortunes but never has he experienced them. Rape; a crime so sickening that the wolves should be shot. Violence and torture; sickening as well, and both together – so sickening that they should never have been thought. Amatus assumes, not knowing the truth, that she has been the victim of one of them, or even worse; both. The twisted feeling of sickness invades the poor boys stomach, he tries to remain positive but a forced smile is all that he can make out. “Um, look, I realise that I haven’t known you that long but if you do ever need to talk, whatever about it may be, I’ll be here to listen.” Amatus whispers into her ear, this is slightly before the lick, which then he prances off into the beautiful crystalline liquid. His eyes briefly look at Yoki.

‘I would love to, Amatus.’ The lady remarks, her voice as soft as the pelt of pups; and what tender lyrics they are, his front right appendage raises, kicking the water out in front of him.

He smiles at her, his rainbow armour gently ruffling in the breeze – alarming but healthy pearl ivories flash briefly in a beamed smile, he felt like rushing to her side and giving advice, he wants to help her, he wants to never leave her side but of course, he would have to otherwise he would become an over protective psycho. But it is true that Amatus wishes to do the best for Yoki; she is his only friend right now, and in a way, his over priority. Amatus’ audettes flicker as new lyrics are transmitted into his ears. Thanking him…? For what? All he did was stand by her.

‘I don’t know what I would have done without you.’ The fair maiden reveals; her words thoughtful and compassionate, filled with a grateful sound of happiness.

“I’m sure you would have been fine, Miss Yoki. You’re strong, I see it in your eyes – and your eyes are a gateway to your soul. So I can see it in your soul, as well.” The boy declares; the lyrics enduring and muscular. As his words end, the knight watches as the beautiful figure allows water droplets to fall upon her. This gives him a mischievous idea. The solider has a grin as his appendages carry him over to a less rocky part of the waterfall. Amatus lowers his bodice, cringing as some of the rocks press against his skin; attempting to break it. When the rolling deep is something, he picks himself up and shakes after moving close to Yoki.
Dark silhouettes of birds soar into the dimmed light sky; the sky is a crimson colour by now, plump clouds scatter across the deep sea, too. The earth at the moment, in this area has a tepid breeze; which Amatus lifts his youthful cranium to. How mortal he feels, the breeze skimming his hide with a soft touch. The air holds the scent of flowers, crisp and fresh – all around. The world proved itself to be alive.

What is it about summer that makes us all so crazy? Is it the heat? Is it the freedom? I think we all get so crazy because we realize all at once that life really isn’t going to last forever, so we take those perfectly sunny days and live. We live so fully in those 3 months that it'd be impossible not to go just little nuts. And in the end, when the summer fades so suddenly into fall, we'll be glad we did.
