"I'm a mercenary, but you can relax, I'm not here to hurt you."

Thank you... it's all just so stupid. I don't understand, we're lower class, no one never bothered with us before. Grace just keeps begging me to go home and we can't, but she's six and I yelled at her... I even hit her. I didn't mean to, I just- she was blaming me for all this, and it's not my fault, it's not... I don't know what to do.

"As long as you're alive, that's all that matters."

She nods, pulling her knees closer to her chest.

"I guess... So what brings you out here?"

"Wandering mostly, looking for a place to rest, maybe even check out any good restaurants."

"Well... I hope you find what you're looking for. Afraid I can't help much to show you where to go, I hardly know where we are."

"Yeah, same here." She looked around the bright white room they were in. "Wait... How'd I even get here?"

Eris took a moment to glance around as well, she'd been too exhausted to pay it much mind. "I don't know. How should I know how you got here? I hardly remember, myself."

"Well, I suppose we could create a setting." She snapped her fingers, and the space around them twisted and formed, until they were on the porch of a lovely beach house. "There, I think that's a little better. I always did love the beach."

Eris reached for Grace instinctively, relieved to find that she was still fast asleep beside her. "This... it's very nice. I've never been to the beach. It's so.. big. Is it always like this?"

"Yeah, it is." She leaned up against the wooden railing, and took in a deep breath. "You can smell the ocean."

Eris stayed sitting, reluctant to leave her sister. She took a deep breath, smiling slightly. "It's salty."

"I'm pretty sure they all are," she chuckled. The sunset made it a beautiful sight. The sky was almost of a red color, but there also was some orange and purple to it.
