Lorelei was disappointed to hear she was a stranger to this young woman. "I know that I can sing", she said, slowly raising her eyes, "although I know nothing else. A voice called out to me, telling me of my power".
Her eyes caught sight of the open book, recognizing the language. "Healing. I have...the power to heal...",Lorelei trailed off in deep thought.
I am a being of song and healing, but why was I brought here, who really am I?
Sensing Vertaia's eyes on her, she quickly gave her a smile "do forgive me, I just awoke here in this strange land, and am very weak. Forgive me for rambling on as I have, I am quite confused over my current situation".

Vertaia nodded. She frowned. "A voice... and nothing else, huh... hmm... i think that you have amnesia..."
She then paused.
"Let me explain. you are in an enchanted forest. This forest is on a cross-shaped piece of land, floating in the air, over the ocean. it is from an aerial view, shaped like a cross. You are in the centre now. in the north, there are coniferous trees and bushes with blue and black berries( edible) and a shallow river flowing through it. in the east , there are bushes with sharp thorns, big trees and two clearings."
Vertaia took a breath and continued.
" the south and west are the most dangerous areas, with scorpions, spiders , and strange, deep pits that sometimes have levitating rocks which one can use to escape from the pits.There are fish in the river, rams roam the lands along with some wild flying pigs, chickens and ducks fly around. Ah... also... with regards to my strange question earlier, There are two lands."
Vertaia paused , looked sad and pensive for a moment. Then, she continued.
" One is a land of eternal magic and is the home of all witches, magic and any strange mythical creatures you may know about. Shaped like a crescent moon, it has a wide bay and a huge harbour. it also has four kingdoms( the werewolves, fairy, mermaid and vampire). that land is called Nocday. there is a second land and that land is home to all people who love healing. This land is shaped like a stethoscope and it is surrounded by a bubble of light which the citizens attribute to a plant called Panadrox and it sits on the top of a tree named bloccroi which rises from the seas. It is called calgatia i suspect that you are from that place. You might be a calgatan, that is... I suspect... I... I...think."
Vertaia then looked down, feeling embarrassed suddenly. Maybe she had spoken too much...
She hoped not.

"A Calgatan...", Lorelei repeated, feeling unsure. "What are those people like? Are there more like me? And you spoke of faeries, can they live in Calgatia? Is it possible to....",was all she could say. Falling to her knees in split second, Lorelei gasped for air, her head spinning.
"I...I seem to have gotten so...excited over this new...development, I have forgotten how weary I was", panting away for air, Lorelei could only look up into Vertaia's eyes and give a weak smile.

"Faeries can live in either Nocday or Calgatia. However, I do believe that you come from Calgatia as most who live on Nocday are brutal and heartless...oh..."
Vertaia spoke as she looked at Lorelei with concern as Lorelei fell to her knees and gasped for air.
She paused and bit her lip." Oh dear. Wait a minute. Do you need help... or can you enter the hut on your own?" Vertaia asked worriedly.
She did not know what to do. If this was a trap by a Nocdaylian, she was in big trouble.
On Nocday:
Echoila Moonwater scowled. She had no more crystals. She needed them to make an anti-cure.
She hated to go. But... it was necessary, for the creation of her most wonderful of creations... torment.
She did not want to see her daughter. She hated to see Vertaia, the traitor. The one who chose the weaker path...
The path of healing, Colgatia... it was all a fool's ideal.
She snorted and spoke to herself, smiling in glee. "If I see her, she will be punished."
---
OOC: Anti-cure= Opposite of Antidote. instead of healing, it would aggravate any conditions a victim would have.

Lorelei staggered up to her feet, using the doorway as support. "I'm fine now. My energy left me for a moment." She walked through the door. "Do you think, if I may be so bold...can I stay here with you until I recover my memory? If it's no trouble to you, that is!", she managed to say, slowly making her way to an armchair. She did not sit on it until she was sure her presence was wanted.
I hope she is not from Nocday, please be a friend and not a foe,Lorelei thought to herself, making a silent prayer.

"Yes. You may. Oh and if you wish to know, I am Vertaia Moonwater. I was banished from Nocday a decade ago." Vertaia paused and looks at Lorelei.
Then, she quickly continued."I was the heiress of my family. However I was banished because my mother hated my kindness and compassion.She told me that my kindness was a weakness. But... is it... truly one?"
She then looked down, hoping Lorelei would not run away.
Meanwhile, Vertaia's mother had reached the edges of the south.

On hearing Vertaia was from Nocday, Lorelei unconsciously widen her eyes and grab tightly the back of the armchair. After Vertaia explained herself, Lorelei calmed down, if she is different than her neighbors, than she may be trustworthy maiden, so she concluded.
"You say banished? To here? This place is for those that are banished? Could that mean", Lorelei started, welling up with sadness, "that I was banished here? But...why"?
Lorelei shook her head, "if kindness is why we were both brought to this place, then...I don't mind at all, because I'm proud to have a caring heart. To be as cold as the night air, it is simply not for me to do. Do you not agree as well"?

"I have no idea about this place being for the banished. However... my mother... she says to be kind is to be weak. But... I... I do agree with you. I can't ignore my heart. I can't be cold and cruel like her." Vertaia looked up and spoke.
Vertaia's eyes were full of hope.
Suddenly, she heard a mad cackle.
"Oh darling daughter! I am here!( these words are said very loudly) I am here to...( these words are said in a sickeningly sweet tone) punish you! Your kindness will die!"
Vertaia panicked. Her face became pale and she started to hyperventilate. She fell to her knees.
"It... it's her..." She whispered.

Lorelei was startled by the new voice. Lorelei tried to act quickly, she ran to Vertaia's side and put an arm around her to support her to her feet.
*Whispering* "Vertaia, what should we do, this woman, the one you call mother, she threatens to take your life? If you would like, I could sing a song for our protection....somehow I know that I can do that", looking into Vertaia's frightened eyes and was saddened by it. Lorelei gave her a reassuring smile to encourage her new friend.

OOC: Vertaia's first post , another post and her personality has been slightly changed- so check the front page of thread!
Echolia's profile= slightly edited.
Note: Despite some changes....not much of the plot has been affected.
Oh yes, you might to edit your post a bit. Echolia is not near the hut. She is amplifying her voice to frighten her daughter.
OOC: the magic in this post is involuntary. It is her magic trying to protect her, by responding to her emotions, but wrongly. To stop her panic.... calm her down. hehe...
Also, she's not despairing, she's fearful.
-----
Vertaia shook her head violently. "She will destroy all of us... she will... she will... she will..." She started to hyperventilate.
Her magic whirled as she panicked and the stasis spell on the healing potion stopped. Then, the pot broke.
A bowl broke and a sad song started to play on the piano. It was playing out Vertaia's panic...
Then... a window broke and a chair fell.

Lorelei looked around and saw how the pot broke (double checking to see if it was not Vertaia's mother doing so). She heard the piano staring to play a melancholic tune and noticed it was responding to Vertaia's magic and anguish.
"Vertaia....I'll help you", Lorelei said, taking her hands and holding them, she began to sing a soft tune:
"Serenity shine on me,
the light of the moon.
Pacify the fears,
And shine the path soon.
Fill me up with light
until darkness has begone.
Heavenly bodies shine on,
to the path of the happiest one."
Lorelei closed her eyes and a light started to shimmer, the faint glow surrounding the two.

Vertaia felt a calm come over her. Her magic calmed. Everything calmed.
She stared at Lorelei. Then, she saw the broken pot and spilled liquid in the kitchen. She also saw the fallen chair and broken window.
for the next few minutes, she was silent.
Then, she spoke. "Thank you."

"I'm glad that my song has eased your feelings", Lorelei said as the faint light went away, "We should probably rest, we are both fatigued. I'm sure we will be safe. I'll sing a song of protection if you would like, it will protect us from harm of malignant magic, I'm sure of it."
Looking at the debris about the old inn. Lorelei hummed to herself, feeling she should help fix the broken things before resting. "Hmm, surely we could secure the broken window by firmly playing curtains over it, so a gust of wind will not enter. Then there is the stew upon the floor," bending over the spilled contents and pointing at it, "will this be easy to clean up? I sense a bit of an aura of some sorts of magic."

Vertaia smiled. "Do not worry about those. I can fix them. Umm... umm... that was not stew. It was... a ... a healing potion." she spoke with a soft yet slightly-more-confident tone.
Lorelei did not reject her. Her heart felt a tinge of hope. she smiled. However, she twiddled her thumbs together, showing that she was still nervous and shy.
" White Muun power... listen to me. I am one who heals. I am one who lives with magic. Tersus floor!" Then, the cauldron was upright and the spill was gone.
Then, she looked at the window and calmly chanted...
"White Moon... power, listen to a user, a person who needs your power. fix the glass window. FIXITUS...now!"
The glass shards rose and merged together and fixed themselves into the window.
Then, Vertaia fell to her knees. Emotional panic attacks which involved magic were draining and she normally remembered that fact. But today she did not and used magic after one so now, she was exhausted.
She looked up at Lorelei and smiled wanly. "There is food in the kitchen..." She spoke softly and rested her head against a wall.
----
Tersus=clean, neat, correct( latin)( inspired by Harry potter)
fixitus= A pun, a play on the phrase: fix it"
OOC: ADDED TWO POWERS( not very major, just a cleaning spell and a fixing spell.) and removed one healing spell from Vertaia.
This change will not affect anything that has happened thus far, in the roleplay.
Also: Spoiler... Echolia will die... soon. HAHAHA. xd
