Her insanely smart yet very dumb familiar never left her side, Aqua takes a deep breath and sits down underneath her tree, "thanks Crowlere for being by my side." Crowlere rubs himself and sits on her lap. Where they wait for several hours for the sun to set. She snakes her way through the edge of the forest to where it meets the grey sandy beaches. "Crowlere stay." She whispers to him. As she sat there she thought of one person that may be able to help her through all of this. Her friend Taurus.
Aqua stands up and makes her way around the outskirts of the city, it was a good thing he was a farm boy and already lived out in the fields, meaning nobody would see her. She walks in the drainage ditches to Taurus's house. His house was a rather large one and not easy to miss in the outskirts. 
As she makes her way up to the house, she notices a carriage with several guards nearby. Aqua glances around to find cover only to rest upon the large oaks that cover the yard. The nearest one was about ten feet, in front of her. Aqua knew she had to stay obscured from the guards and move quickly and stealthily.
So, like a squirrel she climbed up into the oak hammocks and used small vines to cross from tree to tree.
By the time she reached the house she came across Taurus sitting directly below her with another figure. Aqua quietly jumps down from her tree branch to a lower one to listen, possibly to get Taurus's attention when the other figure walks away. She cranes over the branch to notice that it was Pisces sitting with him on the garden bench. She frowns, this couldn't be good. Aqua looks around to see any guards were surrounding them and noticed there were at least five.

"Now that Aqua is left, it gives me time to tell you something. Aqua watches and listens to their conversation.  Taurus stands up and guides Pisces to stand up while holding her hands, "Pisces I have had feelings for you for a very long time and I was afraid to tell you but since after the incidents today I feel like you shouldn't be alone anymore." Aqua feels her heartbeat with sadness and cripple inside, her she grabs her stomach and faces away as she hears Pisces's words, "Oh Taurus, Aqua really liked you but I did as well, you have no idea how much I wanted to tell you how I feel." She looks up into Taurus's eyes, "I like you Pisces." Aqua looks over her shoulder to see Taurus holding Pisces particularly close and they lean in to kiss each other. Aqua had tears of heartbreak in her eyes. She could not even bear their sight anymore, she felt very betrayed as well as led on. Why did I even trust them? Why did I even fall for Taurus? I was a complete fool. Aqua wipes the tears away from her face. Aqua slips away unnoticed, and made her way back to the forest whence she came.

Aqua walks through the thick forest thinking of her friends she was upset, mosly with feelings of betrayal confusion and anger. It's been a while since she felt this way.  She comes across a pocket full of moss, she waves her hand growing a small shelter of vines and makes her vines have their beautiful pink flowers. She closes her eyes in the dark. Please, please I need bioluminescence to feel safe. Aqua spits on her vines that cause them to slightly glow. Tired from her crazy day, Aqua lays down. As she closes her eyes, she sees small fireflies fly around in her shelter and Crowlere walk in to sleep next to her.

"Hey wakey, wakey Aqua." Aqua jolts awake to hear someone calling out to her. "Hello?" She notices it was a little foggy in the forest. She squints her eyes to see through the fog. She waves her hands to cast her bioluminescent vines through the fog.

 "Woah watch it!" She realizes it's a boy, "who are you?" The boy laughs, "you seriously did not recognize me? Typically, I'm shy and well, never around." Aqua sees a white-haired boy with orange eyes walk out of the fog. Aqua notices he holds her staff behind his back casually. "it's me....you know, Aries?" He awkwardly says. "Oh, OH! Well, that explains the clouds. Why are you here? " Aries punches a flat hand into the sky, "yeah I heard what happened and I believe you're innocent so I came looking for you last night but I had to make it foggy to stay aware that I wasn't followed. Oh, and I brought you this. " He hands Aqua her staff, "er, thanks." She had not thought of grabbing her weapon. Aqua realizes he was not as shy as he claimed to be. "Well at least someone believes me..." she awkwardly gawks back, "thanks, Aries." Crowlere walks out of Aqua's hut and stretches a typical cat stretch. Then flies off, "Crowlere! Come back!" Aries smiles, "well, I see you have a lifetime pet miniature griffin. I wish I had a miniature griffin." He reaches into his bulging coat pocket to reveal a blue and white feathery flying squirrel. It squeaks angrily at Aries for disturbing her slumber, "meet Andromeda, my lifetime pet." Aqua crosses her arms, "did not let Crowlere see her." The twigs snap somewhere in the forest, "c'mon we need to run, we're being hunted by a creature." He puts Andromeda back into his pocket the grabs Aqua's hand then he jumps flying extremely fast further into the dark forest. "Woah!" He and Aqua land in a small clearing. Where they see a nymph and her beast-man by the water fishing. Aqua mouths 'stay quiet' the two watch the pair.

 After a moment of silence, she begins to listen to the rhythmic flowing of the water, how the forest breaths life, and feels the weight of the forest on her shoulders she back up to a tree becoming dizzy. She sees Aries turn around to look at her, "Aqua, are you okay you did not look so good." She breaths heavily, suddenly she could not move her hands or her legs, blackness succumbs her when she realizes she is being engulfed into a massive, oak tree. The last words she hears is Aries shouting her name. "Aqua!"
