63 Will of wisp (1/2)

Living with sensitive eyes all her life, will o wisp doesn't bothered her much and shr took her chances to ask for a direction from 'it' to her family. It took her to her mother and the odd part was none of them noticed that she was gone for sometime. It was one of the things that bugged her out even until now.

”I'll get to the bottom of this.” She said with a conviction. Iiana followed the orb and found herself hiking up a hill. Sometime she tripped herself and sometimes she would prick her skin with a thorn. If it wasn't for lush and thick trees, she would've fly instead. Afraid of losing sight of it from above the trees, she opt To walk by her feet instead. Quite exhausting consequences but her curiosity far out-weight it.

It was after walking for ten minutes that they reach to the mouth of a cave. Iiana stare at the entrance with a worried look, thinking all kind of scary crawlers might hide inside of it. The orb as if waiting for her to make a decision, stop for a while before turning in circle and slowly, entering the cave.

”Well... here goes nothing..” she took out a small light orbs to light up her path, making sure she is fifty meters away from the will o' wisp, in order not to spooked it away. The caved was diverged into several canals that act like a maze. That worried Iiana more. She took out her nail polished that she had recently purchased earlier this morning out of her boredom getting grounded, and paint it a little on the side wall. This made her nodded in satisfaction.

One thing story books had taught her, is how to be smart. She remember the story book about how the little girl put a bread crumbs on the path but it got eaten. And as a child that time, I thought how stupid she was. Food get eaten, and putting it on the path? A lot of things can happen.

When one leave a mark, leave it where it's hidden and undisturbed from everyone except oneself.

She move briskly then, still holding the nail polish. It was then she felt her arm band starts to slither down and went to wrap around her waist. It become a... belt-tail?

”Are you a unicorn snake?” Asked Iiana. The snake eyes gave her a brief dry look before gazing back to the front.

”Not talking or can't talk?”

It was then the tail swish and smack her butt that she yelp. She rubs her butt and look at the snake head.

”I was just asking and this is what I get, a smack. Great.” She mumbled angrily. Still rubbing her butt, she moved and follow the retreating form of the orb.
