'' are you... okay? '' akamu spoke to the back of the figure. the figure turned, shocked to see another person this far from the village. '' who... who are you? '' they questioned, pausing briefly to wipe their eyes. it was then that akamu recognized them: she was kai, guardian of whispers and the lake. '' im akamu, '' she smiled, '' i go down to the other side of the lake to collect my water for the day but it's grey and-- '' she couldnt finish her sentence before kai started sobbing and turned from her, long hair falling in front of her face. '' hey, hey it'll be okay, '' akamu sat down next to kai and gently patted her back. '' it'll all be okay... '' . okay im tired and bored that's all the story you get but it was basically gonna be a strangers to friends to lovers you get the gist . well done if you made it down here! i yap a lot so congrats on reading all of that . characters by . art by me, . drawn on paper then on magma
