Undiscovered Colors

Haiku was worried about his family at home, part of him wanted to go check on them and the other was far too obsessed with protecting Bowen. Eventually he would need to return to Abaven, but he had much more trust in his family keeping themselves safe. Bowen was lost to him once, and he couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Except perhaps to observe the strange occurrences around them. Everything seemed to glow, the plants, the small animals, the lights in the sky.

He stayed by her side, so far there were no injuries, only fright. No one had been able to explain the events, the dark days, and the lights. Haiku wasn’t about to take any chances and walked beside the caramel cream girl. The shimmering shore was always in a state of illumination but tonight it was so much more so. He knew how much Bowen loved the ocean and they spent much of their time together here.

Blue and lavender eyes looked out over the glowing shore, and if it were possible he would have said that the whole ocean was glowing bright blue now. The shore seemed very calm and peaceful, the usual feeling of horror was not weighing on his shoulders. As they stopped Bowen leaned against him and he leaned over to kiss the top of her head. He watched as Bowen reached out to touch one of the glowing mushrooms that littered the beach here. He almost tried to stop her, feeling nervous about the strange fungi. Nothing happened with the first touch so he relaxed against her. "I’ve never seen anything like this before.” He spoke softly, feeling like the atmosphere was too somber for more than a whisper.
