Northstar Vale heal your frays

❝Paradise.❞ Arika slowly sounded out after Antigone.

It was a pretty word to young girl, and was now how she would define their home. The silence they had walked in was comfortable, the red boy being an easy presence for her. Her walk through the vale only nurtured a growing appreciation for her home, even for the ones she shared it with. Arika continued to remain quiet as she looked over the lake they approached, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

❝What's that?❞ Her gaze had fixed on the creatures beside the lake as well within a second, turning her attention away from the sheer beauty.

Her voice was quiet, and her steps unsure on the gravelly shore. A small anxiety quelled inside her at the sight, the curiosity shifting to a timidness. Her mother had spoken of deer, but the little girl had not pieced the descriptions together at the sight of them.
