Seville

Spain

The night has already fallen as the ever vibrant, yet beautifully traditional lights of Seville get turned on for the world to see and be captivated by, the streets are quietly intimate, with people clearly in deep dreams.

the sounds of all kinds of birds flapping their wings being the only echo in the pitch quietness, the sounds of shops closing can be heard, people closing their windows, the curtains falling, amongst all of this lies three interesting people, they may be the saviour like in novels, or they may be just tourists at this weirdly late hour no normal tourists is expected to appear at.

The three tourists seem interesting, The first  one is a young woman, maybe 175cm? She’s tan skinned, with very light straight brown hair and green eyes, she seems to be Ukrainian, though her clothes don’t reflect it as she’s dressed in a more of a formal, navy blue woman’s suit rather than traditional clothings, which doesn’t really matter, it’s her choice after all. She seems to carry herself with cautiousness, maybe a little too much of it, she keeps both her arms together, always looking around to see if there’s someone or something around.

Second is a semi short, not over 165cm, very pale young man with curly, black hair and brown eyes, dressed in a Chinese inspired outfit, he seems to walk in distress, always having his arms available in case of an attack, one of them being on the bow on his waistband, which no one seems to believe is a real bow, and they just consider him a child playing, he does have a bag of sorts around his shoulder.

The last one is a young man, around 183cm, he’s dark skinned with pitch dark brown eyes and long, dark ginger hair, he had the facials of an Arabic man, though the rest of his outfit is mostly casual, he’s wearing a sweater with loose pants, he seems to be the most relaxed one of the bunch, though he also seems to be the strangest, he seems to look around a lot and has a blank face with no reaction to anything at all.

The trio are… interesting to say the least, but it’s not necessarily bad, you could just say they’re eye catching, mostly because one of them carries a bow around even though he doesn’t look a day over 14 (he’s probably 24, let’s be honest about that.)

The woman : “we were so late! We won’t get the hotel now, what are we supposed to do?! Return!?” She says the first part in an aggressive way, her voice is that of an angry mom, the boy looking man looks semi scared, while the man just looks like he’s used to it. Ultimately they both wait for her to finish.

“And Go back to the misery!? That-…” she stays silent for a bit before her eyes widening. “That slowly eats us alive.. can we never rest? Never catch a glimpse of peace in our miserable lives…?” she said, her voice shaky and seeming more of a kid left alone without their parents, she seems sad and scared now, she puts her hands around herself in fear, she seems to tear up a little now.

The man pats her on the back, she doesn’t calm down though.

The man : “calm down, Lada. I am pretty sure we booked a hotel that stays overnight.” She seemed to calm down just a little but is still scared and backs away to continue her misery.

Boy looking man : “y-you’re surprisingly normal today, Ibrahim.. no offence..” his voice was surprisingly not that high pitched, it seemed like a normal young adult’s, the boy man whatever seems scared, but not of the man himself, just scared in general, the man gives him the same blank stare before nodding in agreement.

Ibrahim : “I know, míngxīng, there’s no voices or sights today, i guess I am sane for now.” He says with the blank stare, yet gives a slight yet obviously fake smirk that’s meant to be calming but isn’t in the slightest.

Míngxīng nods his head as they continue walking, Lada slowly returns to them after she drifted off to look at the birds and none of them noticed, they all seem a little electric.

Then, the back of a woman with dark hair that blends in with the night, you can’t exactly tell the colour, she’s sitting on a tree while watching them, nothing visibly or you can pinpoint besides her short hair.
