“Admit it, Ceki. We’re lost.”
“Then what, exactly, are we doing?”
Ceki smacked a branch out of his face, cloven hooves crunching under grass and leaves. Their fairy lights bobbed overhead, lighting the path through the darkened forest. “We’re going,” he replied, annoyed at his friend’s annoyance, “to the naiad’s lake.”
“You keep saying that,” Aimar sighed, trudging along with his arms folded over his chest, “but I don’t see a lake or naiads.”
“We just have to follow the river!” Ceki gestured to their right, where the rushing current of Parelia River flowed downhill to Athendrolyn and into the sea. “It’ll take us right to the lake and then we’re golden.”
“We’ve been following the river for half an hour. Don’t you think we should have gotten there by now?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never been this deep into the forest.”
“Wait, hold on.” Aimar threw his tawny arm out to stop them from walking. “You’re telling me you’ve been leading us by guessing the directions?”
Ceki smacked him away. “You have any better ideas?”
“I do actually. Going home.”
“We haven’t even made it to the party!”
“No party is worth this—we can go to any dorm party!”
“See, that’s where you’re wrong, my pointy-eared friend.” He threw an arm over Aimar’s shoulders, lightly nudging him with his long, curved horns. “We’ve both been in this city long enough to hear the stories, right? Naiad ‘parties’ where there’s nothing but sex and magic until the sun comes up? Everyone from anywhere can join in? They’re made of magic water so they can go all night? Come on, man, you know this is worth it.”
“You know what else I’ve heard, Ceki?” Aimar shifted his weight out from under his arm. “I’ve heard about the magic illusions naiads use to mess with people who get too close.”
“We haven’t seen a single one!”
“How do you know? We could be walking in circles thanks to one of them!”
