Here's another chapter, enjoy!
"Amethyst... Wake up lazy bones!" Garnet squealed in her sister's ear.
Amethyst always woke up late, especially on berry picking day, a day where the twin's went to the forest and picked berries to make a pie with their carer, Lara.
"G-get lost twerp!" Amethyst shouted at her twin, bashing her hard on the head with her arm sleepily.
Garnet winced, and grabbed her sister's pink arm and yanked it.
"Fine, let me get ready..." Amethyst yawned tiredly, and she went over to the tub on the table and splashed some water on her face.
She shook her head and followed Garnet out of the door, and down the wooden step ladder.
Mikaria was a very beautiful city, all the houses were built in trees, and water currents ran around the trunks.
Mudokon children were running about, playing with sticks, and splashing water at eachother.
"This place never stops getting beautiful..." Garnet said dreamily, annoying her sister.
"Yes... Very nice, come on, we've gotta get some berries..." Amethyst said boredly, grabbing Garnet by the shoulders.
So they walked off into the woods, where it was quiet and peaceful.
"Do you smell something...?" Garnet whispered, grabbing her twin's arm.
Amethyst sniffed and grimaced. "Yes... I have no idea what it is, it's gross!" she cried, sticking her tongue out.
They ignored the stench and went through the winding trees, and into a dark area. The disgusting smell was worse, Amethyst and Garnet couldn't bare it, they slowly backed away, and sat down in a pile of leaves.
"It's getting really bad now," Garnet whimpered, her orange eyes watering.
Suddenly a shuffling noise appeared from the darkness.
It was getting louder, and louder. Next, a growling noise came.
"What the-?" Amethyst wondered, putting her arm around her scared sister's waist.
"Well well well... It's our little queen!" A Slig laughed out of nowhere, it's body formed as it walked from the black, a Slog was behind it, trotting along.
Amethyst and Garnet were lost for words, and they shuffled backwards.
"P-please don't hurt us, whatever you are!" Garnet screamed, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Oh, I won't hurt you, little princesses, but-" the Slig said in a sly voice.
But before the Slig could get any closer, a blinding flash of light shone onto the evil slig.
"You will not harm these children... They are sacred, and if you touch them..." A beautiful, holy voice rang through the forest.
A fireball flew down and blasted the Slig and Slog to smithereenies.
"Children..." the voice sounded again, and a thin, silvery figure of a Mudokon appeared, with long, trailing hair, blue orbs where eye sockets are supposed to be.
"What.. are you?" Amethyst said quietly, rubbing her eyes.
The female figure swished her hair to the side, and said: "I am a goddess, my child, do not be afraid..."
