Three teenage girls walked into the forest, looking around. One had green hair, one blue and the other red. "Em, this place is really strange," the blue-haired said.
"I know, Saph. But it's Mother's presence; this is holy ground," the green-haired said quietly.
"It's unsettling to me," the red-haired said.

A girl with long gray hair walked through the forest, her footfalls making almost no noise. She wore a pale yellow t-shirt, and a pair of jeans.

"Shh. Someone's coming," the green-haired said quietly. The other two fell silent and jumped into trees. The green-haired jumped into a nearby tree and drew a couple of throwing stars out from a pouch on her belt.

The girl stopped suddenly, looking around.

Emerald continued to watch her carefully, her sisters doing the same.

She held up her hands, palms open, to show she wasn't a threat.

Emerald put the throwing stars away but kept a hand near the pouch, always on guard. She jumped out of the tree, her sisters behind her.

"Emerald."
"Ruby," the red-haired said.
"Sapphire," the blue-haired said.

She nodded. "I am Cheat. It is nice to meet the three of you," She said with a low bow.

The triplets glanced at each other. They normally didn't judge, but they didn't know if they could trust her with the name Cheat.

"A name does not brand a person. I am honorable."

"No, but a name helps to shape a person," Emerald said.
"I'm sure we can trust her," Ruby said. "You've studied way too much, Em. If she hasn't attacked us, I'm sure she won't." Sapphire nodded.

"Plus, you know Her High Lady Fele's land wouldn't let anyone on the land if they wished harm to another," Sapphire added.
"This is true," Emerald said.

Emerald let her hand drop to her side though she was clearly still on guard. She was always on guard, however.

She smiled kindly again. "Why are you here?" She was clearly just curious.

"We're travelers," Sapphire said.

"But we are looking for a place to stay," Ruby said. "We just dunno anyone in the area..." She scratched the back of her head. "We were jsut going to stay in the temple for a bit, though..."

She closed her eyes. "It is not overly large, but it could house the three of you easily. I built it next to the Waterfall of Eternity." She was clearly talking about Eternity Waterfall when she said 'Waterfall of Eternity.'

She shook her head. "Of course not."
