Rising Mist

"Drops descended like drizzle, turning the velvety sun colored liquid
sprinkled around to blue which was spreading rapidly all over the ground
and stunned everyone inside especially the bear couple who ran out of
the cave in such haste as if they were about to be lit and such a reality was
not far. Sana turned to ask them about what had gone wrong. But they
were as clueless as her.
She had never imagined that their frustrating yet serene start would lead
to such a disaster which had no easy recovery. The place was more dear
to them as they had once lost what they had called home. She apologized,
feeling guilty of the request she made.
Rishi tugged her into silence as no amount of their apology could soothe
their wounds and with the journey ahead unguided and riddled with
unforeseen dangers made it even more difficult to stay here any longer
to help them rebuild their haven back. But it did not stop them from
insisting to help.
They refused Sana and Rishi's aid to restore their place. With the
pressing journey ahead and their refusal, the couple's insistence withered
to dust. Bowing to them in half as a silent apology, they resumed their
unexpectedly paused journey of unknown."
