Evening Walk (Open)

I shrugged "you know more than me"

She laughed and said, "Come on. You take control now."

"I dont know what to do"

"Really?" she asked. "Do you really not know how to deal with girls?"

I shook my head

She sighed and dove into the water, swimming just below the surface.

I slowly sank into the water smiriking with an idea

She dove farther under, swimming just above a school of fish.

I swam after her

She quickly surfaced to take a deep breath and dove back under, swimming even deeper than before.

I swam beside her smilinmg

She glanced behind her and saw his smile and flipped to face him. She furrowed her eyebrows in a questioning look.

I chuckled

She narrowed her eyes a little and swam deeper, beckoning for him to follow.

I smiled and swam right beside her

She quickly glanced up to make sure that the moon was in the right place and pointed to the bottom of the lake. Suddenly, there was a faint glimmer and lights exploded around them. They were in a deep cavern, crystals sticking out of the rocks, shining in the moonlight.

"woah" I tried letting out forgetting I was under water

Rowina giggled and dragged him up to the surface, laughing.

"what was that?"

"They're Moon Crystals," she said. "They're usually found in the mountains so I was suprised to find them here. They react to the light of the moon and glow like that only once a month before their lumiensent material dries up."

"dry up what do you mean?"

"They develop a special coating on the outside of the crystal... usually from air and salt. When the moon's light hits it, it slowly dries up."

"they're beautiful"

She laughed and said, "Yeah. My older sister loved to go watch them with our mom when I was a kid."

"I've never really stopped to see the beauty in life"
