Rivera grinned.
I get what you mean. She said to Rhinnëa.
Out of nowhere, Nellas' stomach growled loudly.
'Hungry?' Rivera asked.
'Starving!' Replied Nellas.
'Actually, I'm hungry too. What about you?' She gestured to Eyulf and Rhinnëa. They both nodded.
Rivera closed her eyes, and let herself slip away. She was still there, but in a trance. She looked at all of the animals surrounding them; not one missed her glance. She travelled a little further, until she found what she was looking for. A big huddle of berries, with some mushrooms growing underneath. She knew they were safe- she'd recognise those berries anywhere.
'Found it!' She announced, snapping out of her trance.
'Where?' Nellas asked immediately.
'Just around that tree. There are some mushrooms, berries, and some flowers to eat, seeing as we've completely run out.'
'I'm on it,' Nellas said, running where her sister directed her. Rivera settled down on a rotting stump of a tree, waiting for her sister to return. While she was waiting, she floated a pack over to he side. Small acts of magic like this never really drained her- only difficult bits.
Nellas came back with her arm overflowing with greens, mushrooms, flowers and berries.
'You didn't tell me those were the BORING mushrooms. They taste like nothing!' Nellas whined.
See what I mean? Rivera said to Rhinnëa, who was trying to suppress a smile.
'What do you want me to do? Get you some meat?' She asked.
'Yes' said Nellas. Rivers sighed. She knew they weren't suppose to eat meat, but Nellas was getting skinny, so it was probably alright. The protein would so her good. It was one thing being surrounded by fellow elves, where protein-rich plants an such were plenty, but on the run, it was very difficult.
'Give me your bow.' She commanded. Nellas passed her bow, arrow fitted in, without a moments hesitation. She closed her eyes, in her trance, and found a large hare, one with its leg severely bitten. It wouldn't last until the end of the day, so she was putting it out of its misery.
The arrow sailed out of the bow with a whoosh. Rivera opened her eyes. She had hit it straight through the eye.
Nellas passed the hare over, and Rivera started to skin it.
'If you ask nicely,' she said, turning to Eyulf 'I'm sure Nellas would give you some.'
