Curiosity struck as Ayden saw three figures nearing the water's edge. Ayden stopped to watch the children as the headed towards the frigid waters. They ran with the glee of children, but it was eerie. The sun was very low in the sky, the air was crisp, and yet these children ran towards the water like it was the middle of the summer.
It took Ayden a few moments to see that another small figure sat in the middle of the river, splashing and laughing with joy. Ayden could see the figure clearly with the power of her gift, she had to blink several times. The child in the water was green in hue and rather monkey like, maybe frog like and she could have sworn she could see through it like the glass on a bathroom shower.
Ayden wanted to yell for the children to stop, but she seemed dumbfounded with the strangeness of it all. She had to be seeing things. A second look at the middle of the river and there was nothing, but the children continued to the edge of the river none-the-less. Ayden found her voice, and yelled to the kids nearing the edge. "Be careful the water is cold and the ice looks to be thin."
But before the last words were out of her mouth a child fell into the water and started paddling towards the one in the middle.
Ayden could see the paddling child turning blue as the water froze his, her little body.
Ayden started running towards the edge of the water, but she knew she'd not make it in time. She stopped and looked around, only one woman was near by. Ayden sighed, there was nothing else left to do. She wove a weave of air and pulled the child from the river and continued running towards the others.
They were careless of their friend being pulled back from the ice waters. Ayden dropped the child and used the same weave of air to restrain the children from the water. It would have to do for now. She was confused as to why they would plunge so carelessly into the water.
But the other two children were not what she cared about now. Ayden ran to the soaking wet child. There was a dilemma, let the children plunge into the ice water as their hearts so dearly wanted, or let this child freeze to death when she could help...
