Aria laughed, a little louder than before. “It means something, on my world. Are you guys really just…okay with this? It’s not the least bit of a surprise?”
“No, I’m fine, just…takes some getting used to.” Aria laughed softly, pulling off her hat. Long, silky white hair fell down her back. “Guess I don’t need to worry about this anymore.”
“That’s not possible,” Aria said. “This isn’t possible. Unless…” she frowned. “Are you from the past, somehow? We don’t have a lot of records from before.”
Keeping an eye on the monster in the water, Aria nodded. “The rumors were that this mountain had a sanctuary within. Clearly they were right—how can you not know all this?”
“There’s not much water outside of this place, either,” Aria said. “Unless you were in a lab? But to not be a mutant…this makes no sense. Any chance you’re crazy?”
Yeah I am…I’ve absolutely destroyed my Spotify algorithm this year lol it can’t even recommend things to me anymore. They’re so good though, and Take Me Back To Eden (to those who don’t know, that’s an album and the drawing is the cover) is my favorite.
