Apollo was basically in the Lake for the majority of the night and eventually woke up. "Wh- where am I?" He asked as he climbed out of the lake and collapsed onto the floor. "Morning sweetie." Sai the female voice from yesterday night. Apollo looked up and saw a white fox. "Woah, so you're my light pet, so cool!" Apollo said as he got up to greet his new found partner "I am not your light pet I am Arunika, and I was actually your mother's partner, well, until she ran away from the village" Arunika said
"Oh, she didn't leave, I kinda killed her." Apollo said.
Arunika laughed "oh you poor thing. You actually thought you killed them." She said still laughing.
"What are you laughing about I shot both of my parents with rays of light." Apollo said.
"What's that with rays of what?" Arunika asked him
"Rays of lig-" Apollo froze. "Arunika, my mom was a light elemental wasn't she."
"Unaffected by light." Arunika replied
"Arunika, my mom's alive!" Apollo yelled
"I know that's why I'm here." She said scratching his shoe. "She sent me to cheer you on In the tournament."
"So once it's over we can go back to her!" Apollo asked excitedly.
"Yes but for now I'm your partner." Arunika replied.
"Lets go then!" Apollo yelled as he picked up Arunika and began running back to the training grounds.
"Hey, I'm not a toy, put me down child." Arunika said as she stuggled to escape Apollo's grasp.
