A/N: Yeah... sorry. Because of the time it takes for me to write coherently, chapters are going to be really short, but hopefully more frequent, due to the fact that I have more free time and I'm not making myself write lobg chapters.
May was really starting to wonder how she got here. Was this all a dream? It felt like one. If she had a time machine and went back to before this all happened, then told her past self about what happened to her, than she'd laugh in her face.
May thought back to how this all happened, trying to figure out how she went from a careless summer vacation to using magic swords to save the world from a giant sea serpent bent on world domination.
She could trace the outline of events easily enough- she and Emily had met Jason, Matt, and Rachel at a diner, where they went exploring and discovered the swords and some woman had told them the whole prophecy thing.
Then they'd had a bunch of wacky magical adventures, May bleached and dyed her hair, met the bad guy, and killed him in properly epic fashion with something that might've amounted to the power of friendship, but still.
And now she was here, with a sword that had vague powers that had something to do with flowers and vines but was still cool, and her spirit animal that was apparently a hummingbird named Jenny looking at her curiously.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"What makes you think that something's the matter?" Jenny replied.
"You're looking at me funny."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are, so spill."
"Nothing's wrong!"
May sighed. "Can you at least tell me what's on your mind?"
Jenny blew out of her nose and ruffled her feathers. "I was thinking about how weird it is that you can see me. And that we have no idea how this works. I mean, I thought that we could just straight up read each other's minds, but I guess not, huh?"
May nodded. "I have no idea what it was like for you. I know you could see into reality and stuff, but not much else."
"I mean…that's still what's happening. All it really is for us is like… Well, the Mindscape is like another reality superimposed onto yours. So baya just appear by their people when they're born and we just follow you guys around because it's the most interesting thing to do."
May hmmed softly. "I guess it is kind of weird that there's a talking hummingbird on top of my magic sword now. Another thing to keep me up at night."
Jenny rolled her eyes. "You should go to sleep."
May sighed, but went to sleep.
