[ Misia continues running until they've reached the edge of the forest, a long ways away from the Temple of Hydra. At the very least, Scorpius' troops wouldn't catch up with them immediately, but it would be a death sentence for them if they went without shelter. Once they make their way out of the forest, the two come across a shore, the ocean glistening in front of them. Misia walks along the beach at her brother's side, in search of refuge; she doesn't see anything just yet, but when Elef asks her about what the stars told her, she responds: ]
I saw Krios, the Ram, shining brightly over this area. [ The mythology behind the constellation was that he was a ram sent to rescue two siblings from being sacrificed for the gods, which Misia thought was more than fitting. For it to be shining brighter than the other constellations, surely it meant that they would be protected from harm. That's why she adds: ] The stars have led us here, so I am certain there is someplace. We just have not found it yet.
[ She had only seen glimpses of what would be their shelter among the stars - what appeared to be a cove - but she's confident that it's in this area; she just had to be vigilant and look for it. That's why she continues to glance around as she walks along the beach at her brother's side, looking for anything that looked remotely familiar to the vision she'd seen. After what seemed to be an eternity of walking, Misia finally spots a cove that looked like what she had envisioned around the corner. ]
Ah! Elef, over there! [ Misia points to the cove ahead of them and breaks out into a sprint towards it, excitement overtaking her. Her steps come to a halt, and she looks around, looking for somewhere that they could inhabit for the night. It is then that she discovers a cavern edged in the side of one of the rocks, and she makes her way to it, gesturing towards it when Elef draws near. ] Here. I think we could hide in here for the night. [ She looks over at Elef, tilting her head as if asking for his opinion on her suggestion. ] We are rather far from the temple, and since it is already late, I doubt that Scorpius's troops will be searching for us all night.
[ She glances in the direction where the temple they had just escaped was in the distance. ] However, I suspect they'll be getting close to us by tomorrow afternoon, so we'd have to leave at dawn if we want to avoid them. [ If only they could craft a boat. Then, they could sail away from Lesbos to some other island that she's certain they will never be found. An island where they could just live peacefully together, not having to worry about anything ever again. However, Misia pushes aside that thought for now; what was most important is that they made it through the night. ]
dreamwidth if you mess this up again I SWEAR

...Is that alright with you, Elef?
