Light and Dark // One-On-One // CLOSED

Adria scrambled over to it, desperate for it to be OK. Luckily, it was.

"It's not broken is it?" He asked walking over to her, it didn't seem broken to him but she knew the tiara better and wanted to make sure.

"No, it's fine. Thank goodness. I don't know what I'd do if it broke."

"Thats good!" He answered happily "We should probably stay out of the trees for now though" Jack laughed lightly "Your not having the best of luck with them today"

Instead of doing what Jack suggested, Adria placed her tiara on Jinx's head and started climbing.

(i just remembered that she's wearing a floor length gown)

(XD that takes some skill man)

Jack laughed and followed "How do you climb trees in a floor length gown? No wonder you keep falling" He laughed.

Adria looked down. "I forgot I was even wearing this." She was covered in a shadow 'curtain' and revealed to be in a short black dress once it was gone.

"Woah" He said in wonder "Thats convenient" Jack smiled.

"Mother taught me the spell."

"Does she teach you most of your spells?" He asked and continued climbing.

"No, most of my spells I've read in books, or learnt from my grandmother. They aren't really spells, but that's just the best explanation of it."

"Oh nice, I mostly learnt what I know about magic from books"

Adria sat on a bough, lower than the one they had been on before. "Sometimes I wish that I could create something different to darkness. Something more than just shadows and horrors. Something…."

"Sometimes I wish I couldn't just make light" He gave her a reassuring smile.

Adria smiled back, then brought her hair over one shoulder and started to play with it, slightly bored.

Jack sat on a branch and looked out at the stars but he soon found himself frequently glancing over at Adria and back at the stars again.

Adria started to hum a song to herself. She was oblivious to Jack's glances at her.

They sat in soft silence, the only noise being the gentle sounds of the leaves swaying snd Adrias calm humming as they gazed at the stars.

Adria stood up suddenly and started to climb.

Jack stood up and climbed after her "Where are you going?" He asked

"The view's more beautiful from the top," Adria answered, eyes shining.

Jack smiles and continued climbing after her.

When Adria reached the top, almost as if a sensor, the lights of the tree turned off. The stars could be seen so much better now, and Adria sighed with content.

"Wow" Jack whispered, barely audible as he reached the top of the tree and sat down. "You don't see stars like this in Trearia, everything is always so bright"

"Well, Ethulian is the kingdom of darkness. Light shines brighter here."

"Yeah, they're beautiful." He says looking up at the stars but he finds himself glancing over to Adria as he says this and then looks back to the sky.

"You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound," Adria sang softly, a song to the same tune as she was humming earlier.

"Thats a pretty song" He mentioned, looking over at her.

"Hmm? Oh. My mother used to sing it to me when I was a child."
