7th of Spring
Kiara in her short time here had realized the Archway was the best place to fish. Fish were almost always there- easy to find and easy to kill with her trident. The sky was full of clouds, today- though some would’ve been sad about the fact that it was, it was good in her eyes. Less people were going to be coming with no sun. She set off to her first fishing hole, setting her bucket down and tightened her grip on the trident. Her first hole was one of the best she found- it was shallow, making for easy fishing for her trident.
Few fish were swimming along peacefully, unaware that a predator was lurking among them. She tried to predict where the fish would be once she would smash her trident into it. Thinking about this, she readied her trident, making a guess, and the fish soon was under the trident. She smashed right upon it, and raised it up, only to see the trident but no fish. She could hear Liam’s voice in her head, remembering advice from long ago- “Always aim lower- water changes how things look.” She might have no ghost physically following her, but she felt like she had one stuck in her head.
The fish swam away from reach, but new fish were soon coming by. Thank Laviku for making fish one of the dumbest creatures in the world. With Liam’s advice in her head, she raised her trident again, predicting the path of the fish and slamming it down a bit lower. She swung the trident up, seeing a medium sized silver fish caught on the points of the trident. A feeling of satisfaction went through her, and she smiled slightly at the bloody fish.
"Thanks, Liam.” She said, voice soft, the words only for herself.
