Prologue

She stood on the rocks high above the water, looking clearly over the blue current while the wind brushed her roughly. The water seemed to stay still, not moving in fear that she might fall, or worse, jump. Tears escalate down her cheeks, followed by the trembling of her lips. She sent a silent prayer to any that were listening.

She knew that the water would not move, for it had had enough of how many humans never returned. The water did not like how many people just gave up. The water was officially on duty.

"Let thee rain come, let thee fall, let thee bring my dreams, to thy water, and let thee wash away. Away." She cried into the wind. "After thy farewell, take thy body away, to return another day. Come another day."

The tree's bristled around her, sending a silent scream for her to stop. But the girl repeated the same chant over and over again, until her skin began to glow yellow and blue, before she arched in her silk gown. And then all was silent. The tree's stopped their screams, the water returned to normal, and the wind slowed down with it's silent cry.

The girl was no longer there.
