Amaryllis led them through a door at the end of the hall then turned left into a smaller hallway. Saija still wasn\u2019t quite used to how clean everything was here, compared to her old life among the Natas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cHere we are.\u201d Amaryllis stopped in the middle of the hallway and pointed to a door on the left. \u201cOnin and Tannin, this is your room. We\u2019ll be across the hall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin yawned. \u201cI\u2019d like to stay up and discuss what we\u2019re going to do next, but I\u2019m exhausted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah, you should get some rest and let that leg finish healing.\u201d Kasai started to stretch her hand out, paused, then shoved it back in her pocket and looked down at her feet. \u201cUh, see you tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah.\u201d Onin raised his hand and made a small, stiff wave. \u201cGoodnight, Kasai.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Cerina made and exaggerated gagging noise. Saija turned, grabbed Cerina by the wrist and pulled her into the girls\u2019 room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUg.\u201d Cerina rolled her eyes. \u201cI can\u2019t stand them being all mushy. I just want to slap Kasai and tell her to kiss him already.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI think they\u2019re cute.\u201d Saija put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes. \u201cThey obviously like each other, and it\u2019s not just about being horny. It\u2019s\u2014\u201d Saija tapped her finger on her hip. \u201c\u2014refreshing. I\u2019ve never seen a relationship like that. With the Natas, they just do whatever they think feels good and don\u2019t care about anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah, whatever.\u201d Cerina snorted and picked at some dirt under one of her fingernails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija frowned. Cerina wasn\u2019t exactly mean like a Natas, but she didn\u2019t have that happy, relaxing, put-you-at-ease aura that Onin, Kasai, Tannin, and Amaryllis, had. If the people that found her after the Natas left were all like Cerina, she\u2019d probably be dead now. She shuddered and walked around to inspect the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">There were four wooden dressers on the far wall, and two large beds up against the near wall. The bedspreads and walls were both a pastel pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">The door opened. Amaryllis and Kasai entered and closed the door behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cSo, this is my first, uh, normal, slumber party.\u201d Saija took a step closer to Kasai. \u201cDo we play games or something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cKill me now.\u201d Cerina groaned and turned around. \u201cI\u2019ll take a shower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOoo! I\u2019ve got an idea!\u201d Saija smiled and bounced on her toes. \u201cLet\u2019s go to the hot springs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Cerina paused mid-stride. \u201cOkay, that actually is rather tempting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUm\u201d Amaryllis looked at Cerina, then over to Saija. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a hot spring anywhere near here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cNot a problem.\u201d Saija lifted her hand. She stopped, and brought her hand back to her chest and turned to Amaryllis. \u201cUh, can you show me how to do the blue portal thing again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI can.\u201d Amaryllis put an arm around her shoulder. \u201cBut you need to learn that on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija blushed. When other Natas touched her it lead to activity\u2014better not to think about it. She took a deep breath and pushed the memory aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Amaryllis lifted her arm and looked into Saija\u2019s eyes. \u201cYou\u2019ve suffered more under the demon than you care to admit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Kasai stepped around to her other side and took her hand. Saija squeezed it and took a few deep breaths. These people wouldn\u2019t hurt or violate her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cSo, anyway\u2014\u201d Saija cleared her throat. \u201cUh, how do I make the portal blue?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWell, what do you normally think about when you make a portal?\u201d Amaryllis asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cHmm.\u201d Saija pursed her lips. \u201cI dunno. I kinda reach through space to the destination, and yank.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cEmotions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cHmm.\u201d Saija paced back and forth. \u201cI don\u2019t do so well with those. Uh, I feel confidence, asserting control. Maybe a bit of anger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cTry to think about the opposite of those things when you form the portal. Think about it while we pack.\u201d Amaryllis smiled and turned around. \u201cOh, that\u2019s right. I had your bags brought here from the hostel where we first met.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\"><em>The opposite of what I normally think, huh? <\/em>Saija frowned. <em>What exactly does that mean?<\/em> She turned around and found her backpack on a nightstand on the other side of one of the two beds in the room. She unzipped her pack and peeked inside. Looked like she forgot to pack swimwear or pajamas. She shrugged, zipped the pack up, and slung it over her shoulder. There would be time to worry about that later. For now, she needed to concentrate on her portal technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija lifted her right arm and held her palm facing away. Opposite. She thought about pushing out to her destination, a traditional onsen just outside of Dabrath.<em> I want to take my friends there to relax. This is stupid. I don\u2019t normally have to think this much about it. Is Amaryllis just trying to mess with me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija opened her eyes. She stared at the portal. It looked the normal size, swirly shadows. Except it was purple. Saija narrowed her eyes at it. It was supposed to be blue. What had she done wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWhy\u2019s it purple?\u201d Cerina asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija frowned and looked over her shoulder at Amaryllis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Amaryllis cocked her head to the side. \u201cPerhaps the old way is so ingrained in you that this is a little of both methods.\u201d She stepped through the portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI think it\u2019s pretty.\u201d Kasai smiled to Saija and stepped through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cThis better not dump us in the mountains,\u201d Cerina said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija poked at the portal, shrugged, and stepped through.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside id=\"custom_html-2\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html amr_widget\"><h2 class=\"widget-title\">Advertisment &#8211; Help keep Etherno free<\/h2><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-6329442091957906\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"2637632844\";\n    google_ad_width = 728;\n    google_ad_height = 90;\n<\/script>\n<!-- 728x90, created 3\/31\/09 -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/div><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/etherno.aarondemott.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dragon.png\" alt=\"dragon\" class=\"wp-image-41\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija exited the bathroom and entered the women\u2019s changing room at the hot spring. Saija looked around the room. It was empty. Saija shrugged, stripped, and showered quickly. She slid open the door to the spring, stepped out onto the deck, and paused mid-stride. The other girls were already in the water. In their swimsuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUm\u2014\u201d Saija glanced back over her shoulder. \u201c\u2014this is a traditional onsen, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah.\u201d Kasai looked away and into the water. \u201cI\u2019m just shy and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI\u2019m saving everything for Ryogin-sama,\u201d Amaryllis said with a little sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Cerina and Saija groaned at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYou\u2019re fine.\u201d Cerina rolled her eyes. \u201cJust get in the water, already.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija stepped down off the deck and into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUh, that thing\u2019s not going short out, is it?\u201d Cerina lifted her right foot out of the water and poked a toe at Saija\u2019s artificial leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cNo.\u201d Saija rolled her eyes and waded further out and sank down into the water. A sigh escaped her lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOh, that feels nice.\u201d Saija rolled over and sat on a seat-shaped rock, only her head above the water. \u201cYou can just feel the tension flow out of your muscles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cMm-hmm.\u201d Kasai and Amaryllis said together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cThanks for bringing us here,\u201d Kasai said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija closed her eyes and ducked her head under the warm water, leaving nothing but her nose in the air. This was even better than a massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Amaryllis distorted voice sounded through the water. Saija thought she heard her name. She poked her head above the surface. \u201cHmm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI said I need to apologize to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOh?\u201d Saija pulled herself over and sat cross-legged on one of the rock seats between Amaryllis and Kasai. \u201cWhat for?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI was fairly short with you when we first met.\u201d Amaryllis shifted on her rock. \u201cI mentioned I\u2019m half Nekotian, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYes.\u201d Kasai turned to face her. \u201cWhat exactly is a Nekotian\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Amaryllis held up a finger. \u201cThe Natas have been active on our planet for a while. They\u2019re searching for the perfect host. As part of that search, they\u2019re trying to combine giftling\u2019s powers with the best traits of other species. Kasai and I are both results. She\u2019s half dragon, and I\u2019m half Nekotian. They\u2019re aliens from another planet that look kinda like I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cThen the rumors are true.\u201d Kasai pulled her knees up to her chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija moved over closer to Kasai and put an arm around her shoulders. She turned to Amaryllis. \u201cWell, we kinda guessed that, but what\u2019s this have to do with me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Amaryllis glanced away. \u201cI saw you before I ran away from the Natas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Kasai\u2019s head jerked up. \u201cYou were with them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah.\u201d Amaryllis brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. \u201cI lived in one of the Natas worshiping villages until I was about twelve. Then, some Natas visited the village, and I learned what I was, and why I was created. I ran away, and Ryogin-sama saved me just before the Natas captured me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d Saija looked away and stared at one of the rocks. So many bad memories of that accursed Natas chasing and torturing people. <em>You\u2019d think the cat-ears would stand out. <\/em>\u201cI don\u2019t remember you. I\u2014\u201d Her voice caught. \u201cI try not to remember, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI think the Natas that possessed you was coming to inspect me or something.\u201d Amaryllis shrugged. \u201cThat\u2019s when I ran away, so you wouldn\u2019t have seen me. The Natas almost re-captured me, and that\u2019s when Ryogin-sama found me.\u201d Amaryllis glanced over at Saija. \u201cAnyway, I saw you again and all those old feelings came rushing back, and I thought of you as an enemy still. As a victim of the Natas, I should feel more compassion. You\u2019ve suffered more from them than I. Can you forgive me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija lowered her head and stared down into the water. \u201cI don\u2019t understand you people. I\u2019ve hurt all of you, and you\u2019re still nicer to me than anyone else has ever been. I don\u2019t deserve that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t you.\u201d Kasai placed her hand on Saija\u2019s right elbow. \u201cIt was a Natas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d Amaryllis lifted Saija\u2019s chin with a finger and looked her in the eyes. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t you. I was wrong to think that, and you can\u2019t let yourself believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah, she\u2019s right.\u201d Cerina sat up and tucked her legs underneath herself. \u201cIt\u2019s getting way too emotional in here, but we\u2019ve got to focus on the real enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija looked up at her. Cerina bit her lip and looked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUgh. I guess I should share this.\u201d Cerina took a deep breath. \u201cWhen I was little, they found a girl about my age wandering around outside the village. There were all sorts of rumors about her, and apparently she had some kind of fire gift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija turned to Kasai and raised her eyebrows. Kasai jumped in her seat, then shrugged. They both turned to look at Cerina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah, it was Kasai.\u201d Cerina rolled her eyes. \u201cI only saw you a few times in the distance until my little sister and I were playing in the park. You were at the other end of the park, and I was too shy to say hello or anything. Anyway, after a while some guys wearing black jumpsuits ran out of the woods and started throwing ice and fire around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI pulled my sister down underneath the slide, and we watched as you grew wings and a tail and started throwing fire back at them. Next thing I know one of the guys in black is trying to grab my sister and I.\u201d Cerina wiped the back of her hand across her eyes. \u201cI curled into a ball. My baby sister stood up and yelled, \u2018Leave my sister alone!\u2019 I clenched my eyes shut and started crying. I guess I used my gift for the first time or something. They left me alone. After a while I got up, and the whole village was on fire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija looked down and put a hand on her stomach. <em>It\u2019s Cerina\u2019s story, and it happened in the past. Why do I feel bad?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOnly a few of us made it out.\u201d Cerina sniffed and wiped her eyes again. \u201cMy sister wasn\u2019t one of them.\u201d She took a deep breath and looked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cFor a long time, I blamed Kasai for it all. I know it\u2019s not her fault, but\u2014\u201d Cerina looked down and put her hand on her chest. \u201c\u2014but I still feel mad.\u201d She sighed. \u201cI\u2019m working on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cCerina&#8230;\u201d Kasai stood and took a half step toward Cerina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWhoa, there.\u201d Cerina held up her hand, palm out. \u201cThanks, but no thanks on the hug. I\u2019m not really the huggy type, and I still don\u2019t like you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Kasai\u2019s shoulders drooped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI\u2019m working on it, okay?\u201d Cerina huffed out a breath. \u201cJust give me some time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Kasai sat back down, head lowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Saija patted her shoulder. \u201cUh, that\u2019s actually pretty nice, for Cerina.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">She winced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\"><em>I\u2019m gonna need to practice this being nice thing myself. I really suck at it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Kasai looked up and gave her a half-smile. \u201cThanks.\u201d She cleared her throat. \u201cSo, uh, are we ready to head back? The hot water\u2019s making me sleepy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYup.\u201d Cerina stretched her arms over her head, yawned, then rose to her feet. \u201cI\u2019m pretty thoroughly cooked at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYes, we shouldn\u2019t stay too long.\u201d Amaryllis stood and flicked water from her tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cAll right.\u201d Saija stood and stretched. This had been an interesting trip to the springs. She felt warmer, but that had more to do with her emotions than the hot water. Even a grump like Cerina tried to get along better with others. This wasn\u2019t at all like living among the Natas. She smiled.
