Ebony trudged in, walking lopsided, carrying a huge clay pot. She was planning on filling it to the brim with rainberries, but the pot by itself was already way too heavy. She sat it down with an "oof" and shook her sore arm muscles. She did a circlular motion with her neck, preparing to try to lift the beast of pottery. She positioned herself as if she was getting ready to tackle something, tucked both hands underneath the pot, and heaved. With a groan, she was finally able to get it off the ground. Cautiously she walked over to a group of rainberry bushes.
"This better be worth it," she muttered irritably, already tired out.

Johan peered past tall trees to see a rather puculiar site. He aproached, quitely and cleared his throat. "are you having fun?" He chuckled, "May I ask if you need some help, miss?" Johan, pushed his way through the bushes. What on earth could she be doing? he thought to himself.

The flow of the water was almost a soothing song to the spirit Coventina who was sitting near the water which somehow attracted her to it. She enjoyed listening to the flow of this fall and was delighted about the very few noise coming except for this water. Coventina was just minding her own business as she was just relaxing here. She really enjoyed this calm time almost wishing this was everywhere and this wish would be a great achievement. Coventina then entered the water, which was probably an insane thing for most people but once she entered , Coventina merged with this water and was going along with it. She felt as if she wanted to see where this water goes and decided in her head earlier to become the water in which she did. She flowed with the water which then took her to an area where she saw people…

Ebony raised an eyebrow at the stranger and said sarcastically, "Does it look like I'm having much fun?" She moved out of his way as he pushed into the bushes. "Yes, help would be nice.. Thank you." She wiped the sweat from her brow and sighed. Man, it was hot today. She didn't remember a summer quite like this before. She glanced over at the falls; not nearly as high of pressure as it should be. Something caught her eye in the clear waters, almost like a translucent shadow. It didn't really look like much, so she shrugged it off and continued on with her previous work.

Joah, carefully picked up, the huge pot. Wow, his knees practically buckled, he quickly caught his balance. Heavy. He then followed the stranger. "My name is Johan, what is yours?" Johan, created a light drizzle to keep the tempature down a bit. Water began filling the pots. "phew, you weren't lying about these pots." Water driped from his hair, he couldn't help but smile for no apparent reason.

Coventina watching this people made her want to giggle but kept it to herself. What would an ordinary person say if they heard water laughing? They yell and tell some sort of higher authority to check the water which might ruin the environment. All of this went through Coventina’s head which might of causes her just to just stand there and wait. She didn’t want to bother these people who were working for something though she didn’t really know what. She just watched like a little spy making sure things were alright. She didn’t want these people to have any problems so she just was waiting making sure they left these waters so they wouldn’t have any chance of losing things, though if things fell in the water, she would help. Though another thought came into her head. What if she talked to these people while still in her water form and they listened? She felt as maybe there was a 50/50 chance that she speaking would be either fun or risky. What to do?

Ebony folded her arms across her chest. "Did you think I was just a weakling?" she said jokingly. She began yanking the thorny berries off the bushes. "Quite a hot summer, isn't it?" she sighed. Everything was slowly getting worse. She didn't know how much longer they could sustain the normal climates. Even the coldest waters were growing warmer. Ebony jolted. There it was again. That translucent shadow. She was starting to get a bit worried. She pointed it out to the helpful stranger. "What.. do you think that is..?"

Johan, quickly changed the subject, to avoid, the question of how strong she is, "You never did answer me, What is your name Miss." Johan put the pot down and began picking berries. Hmmm.. Why is it, I can never think of anything to say, Johan thought to himself. " I have no idea, it has caught my eye aswell." Johan felt, unesasy all of a sudden, he thought the movement was a figment of his imagination,

Ebony chuckled at his obvious avoidance of her question. "It's Ebony." She glanced uneasily back at the river. She had thought that as well. Cautiously she crept over to the side of the falls, peering into the bank. She had almost fallen in, but luckily caught her balance in time. Standing back up, she scratched her head and muttered, "I could've sworn.."

Conventina just had to chuckle at these people noticing her. She couldn't hold this laugh in because she just had a sort of fun as they were scared. This laughter also came along with a thought in her head. These people are watching water laugh. What could happen now? She laugh just for one second after this thought and then silenced herself. She didn't want them to be scared now but the cat was out of the bag. She just waited for them to do something and see what she had to do next.

Ebony whipped out her dagger at the sound of laughter. She glanced around uneasily, unsure what to do. Cautiously she stalked around, making sure every step was silent. "Whoever you are, come out. Now." Hopefully this wouldn't have to turn into a fight. If the fight got bad enough... She didn't even want to think about the results. She just had to keep the situation calm, and hopefully nothing bad would happen.

Johan jummped back at the sight of the dagger. "It's probably the wind or something.." Johan spotted something on the coast and began going tawords it. the waves began rocking. "Ebony, I am pretty sure, anyone whom laughs like that, shouldn't be up for a fight!" Johan walked into the sand near the piculiar river. "Hello, is anyone here?" Feeling Ebony's tension, Johan couldn't help but bare his teeth for a moment. "I am not here to harm."

Ebony listened and nodded her head, but she still didn't sheath her dagger. Her father had always taught her to never let her guard down, even if nothing seemed suspicious. Ebony's shoulders drooped slightly whenever she thought about her father. How much longer would they have to be seperated? No signs pointed to any hope; she had a feeling the world's condition would get much worse before it got any better.
Ebony crept over to where Johan was, her dagger still firmly in her hand. "if it doesn't come out, whatever it is, we should leave. I don't want to risk either of us getting hurt," she muttered to Johan.

"I guess you are right," Johan said looking at the sky. "Although," he began looking at Ebony's dagger."I always look for the good in people, even when it's hard to see." There was a long silence. "Well," Johan stepped away from the river. "I doubt there is anything here, at least worth waiting for." Johan chuckled, "we are probably delusional from the heat, is all." Johan began walking back tawords the bush of rainberries and sat under the bush. "Well, if you want to leave it's up to you, I am not."

"How.... predictable.... solving a problem with violence and not with the wits of a young mind. People these days only wants to fight." Coventina said still being in her water form. Now for some reason that can be from being her or being the waters, she switched personality. There was a sort of annoyance in her voice now. " When the going gets tough.... the tough run away?" She said to the people waiting for their reaction.
Convetina just listened to the conversation and didn't like how these strangers were going to the situation. Perhaps her age was acting up wanting to teach these strangers something. She did have to admit to admire the... kindness and sort of passive of the boy. It was soothing hearing this after so much violence but it still annoyed her. What if Coventina was actually an enemy? How would the situation change? She felt as these people need to toughen up.
