now comes the tide;

safiri She takes the leap, bounds forward into the portal, lets it swallow her whole and she feels weightless, tossed and tumbled - she's stepping out into a new world, wide eyes and breathless from both anxiety and awe, shaken and trembling as she leans against Zubari, gold decorations itching against her skin as she shifts her weight and looks around her. This world is new, it is terrifying and Safiri is scared, she is unsure of what lies beyond the curling mists that cling to the mangled trees, catching pairs of eyes viewing her presence from a distance. She nudges Zubari, looking to him and feeling her rapidly panicking heart yearn to comfort him, to offer something that would mean something to him, but she does not know how to handle the situation, she has never had to comfort anyone before. So she just lets him know she is there, she is fearful and tired, she is doubting her family has made it through, but she is here with him now and that's what matters - she's with someone, and not entirely alone with only Haki and Auni to keep her silent company. Haki is on the ground, hushed and stuck to her side, refusing to move an inch as she too simply stands, frozen, unable to move from where they are. Safiri is hesitant, she's uncertain and scared, so scared, about what lies beyond the mists and gentle glow, what lingers in the bitter darkness that stretches out. Is her family somewhere out there, wondering if she made it through? Is it true they are safe here, away from the destruction Kaos had created? She feels waves of hopelessness and fatigue crashing over her, pushing her head down, drowning her out as she stumbles into this unknown, this land is unwelcoming and dark, and Safiri does not want to stay. "What - what should we do? I - I have to look for my family, I -" She's choking on her words, looking to Zubari and wondering how insensitive it was to talk about family when his mother was just taken from him, when her family is all she can think about because she can't be the only one to make it. Right? "I'm so sorry," She offers once again, glancing back towards the peculiar eyes that witness her sorrow, the pain that blossoms over her features as her joins throb and chest heaves. The lamb is finally beginning to realize the reality of their situation, that the two of them have been thrown into an unfamiliar world filled with danger beyond imagination, that there is no more Edge, no more Helovia, her little cave at home is gone, the one space she felt safe, the place she'd spent more of her childhood - gone. Who is to say the same fate had not come to her family? To her mother, her father, to all of her sisters and brothers, to Lyanna the Moon Doctor, where were they? Where was the Edge, the place she had grown up, the place she was so comfortable in? She wants to crumble in defeat, to wave the white flag and hope that somehow it all just stops, that it allows her to drift - to drift - Oh. Safiri come to register that her hooves have left the ground, that she no longer stands with her hooves on the ground, but her body caught in midair, emerald green wide with surprise as she looks down to find herself suspended inches above the earth, where Haki gives a startled yip. Her dream of simply drifting becomes a reality, and she gasps, heart sputtering and thundering at this new discovery, turning to Zubari with her mouth gaping. She moves gently, picking up her legs a little more and finding herself gliding forward inch by inch, unsteady, but she's managing, and she's delighted by her discovery. If only her parents could see her now -   a wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep
