Walckon steps forward as he replies "well I'm Walckon I grew up with Nile." My eyes widen as I say "what!" Nile adds "Calm down Walckon." Walckon replies "ah come on you didn't tell her." Walckon steps closer as he says "you should have seen him always had his face in books, never looking up." I smile and Nile responds "you should have seen him, makes you think "wow there is a elf that is that stupid. What?" Walckon smirks as he replies "oh yeah." Nile smiles and I ask "so you weren't friends?" Walckon looks down as he says "no." Nile suddenly punched Walckon's arm as he says "yeah we're friends now." As Walckon's eyes widen I smile and Nile turns as he asks "Elliane could you take Walckon home." Walckon adds "no, I can walk myself." Nile responds "we shouldn't risk anything yet you need to take it slow, so no job just yet to." Walckon states "I just got my life back I want to run and do things." Nile replies "I'm just saying to take it slow." Walckon sighs and I say "It would be nice to talk I would love to hear about the town." Walckon's eyes widen and he smiles as he responds "alright." I smile to Nile as I step out the shop.
As Walckon steps out after me I say "lead the way please." Walckon starts walking and I follow. Walckon asks "so I have to ask who's kid are you?" I smile as I respond "I'm Nile's." Walckon's eyes widen as he studders "N..Nile? Nile has a wife?" My eyes widen and I reply "oh no Nile took me in." As we exit the marketplace Walckon stops walking. I look to Walckon as he asks "took you in?" I respond "oh yeah I don't know if you knew her Adaillene was my mother." Walckon replies "I'm sorry I don't." I smile as I reply "it's alright." Walckon clears his throat and he says "I'm sorry." I reply "oh no don't be, I'm glad I had Nile." Walckon continues walking down the dirt path as he asks "so can I ask how did you heal the unhealable?" I follow as I respond "well it's complicated." Walckon says "I have time." As Walckon turns he walks up a set of steps. I follow but stop at the last step. As I put my hand on that railing I say "I don't really know how to explain it." Once my hand touched the railing suddenly vines shot out completely going over my face. My eyes widen as I gasp. I push the leaves and vines out my face as I step back. As I fix my hair my eyes widen to see Walckon with his eyes widen.
I think "oh no he is gonna think I'm weird." Walckon's blank expression doesn't help and I say "I don't really know what but I'm not fully a Elf. I know this must seem,-" Walckon interrupted me by stating "so cool." My eyes widen as Walckon smiles he steps down the steps as he asks "how do you do it? Do you think of it? Well I'm not sure you planned that huh?" I smile as I respond "no I didn't, but sometimes it just does it but I can control it." Walckon replies "that's incredible so what can you do with it? Do you fight with plants?" I smile as I put my hand over my wood bracelet. I glance to Walckon to see his smile was gone, he actually looked furious.
My eyes widen as I step back when Walckon steps down the last step as he asks "Elliane do you know that elf?" My eyes widen and I turn to see Anazar looking around yet just standing beside the dirt path. I sigh as I turn back I say "unfortunately." Walckon adds "oh dear he is coming." My eyes widen as I ask "what?" When Anazar asks "Elliane can we talk?" I turn as I respond "I'm actually working Anazar I just had to bring Walckon home." Anazar's eyes widen as he asks "Walckon?" Walckon responds "hello I don't think we have met." Anazar replies "no but I heard of you're curse I'm deeply sorry." Walckon responds "well curse no more thanks to Elliane." I smile and Anazar's eyes widen as he says "what?" Walckon continues "yes Elliane cured me which I never fully said it thank you Elliane." Walckon suddenly pulled me into a hug and my eyes widen. Walckon states "you and Nile make a great team Elliane thank you so much." I smile and I reply "of course." As Walckon let's me go he adds "thank you for helping me home to." I respond "of course." As Walckon turns to the stairs I instantly turn when Anazar says "Elliane." I clenched my fist and Anazar continues "I'll just wait for you to get off work." My eyes widen as I turn to see Anazar walking away already. I think "that's new." I turn walking back to the marketplace.
As I entered the marketplace suddenly someone grabs my arm. My eyes widen and I turn to see Canlyn. Canlyn smiles as she says "there you are we were looking for you." I ask "we?" As Qarizan steps out from behind Canlyn. I smile and reply "I am working so." Canlyn responds "aw okay well find us after." I ask "did you need something?" Canlyn replies "uh to hangout duh." My eyes widen as Canlyn and Qarizan walk off. I think "what just happened?" I just turn and walk to Nile's shop. As I see Sult standing before the shop I think "why?" I straight up walk pass Sult as I go into the curtain. Sult gasps as she says "Elliane." I turn as I say "I'll get you Nile." I turn back and the curtain shut.
As Nile steps into the small shop I say "Sult is here for you." Nile responds "uh she isn't." I ask "what?" Nile replies "she came looking for you." I sigh and respond "oh okay." I lean against the table and Nile laughs slightly and he asks "how was it taking Walckon home?" I respond "it was fine." Nile says "thank you, I know he never liked taking help." I say "of course he was kind." Nile laughs and says "well I don't need you here today Elliane so you can go out."
When suddenly Canlyn screams as she asks "did I hear that right?" My eyes widen as I stood up straight I look to Nile. When Canlyn steps in as she grabs my arm she states "I'm stealing you're daughter." Nile smiles and says "have fun." I say "wait Nile didn't I have to." Nile responds "nope." I ask "how about,-" Nile interuped me by saying "no go!" My eyes widen as Canlyn pulls me out the shop fully. I sigh as Canlyn says "yes! So what should we do now?" Qarizan says "I wouldn't mind a tour of Elliane's house." My eyes widen as I say "what?" Canlyn asks "how about we go into the forest? I heard there's wolves." When Sult shouts "Elliane!" I turn to see Sult who looked furious. Sult states "you didn't even come back or Nile. I think "you're still here?" As Sult just kept talking I realized I probably shouldn't have left her out here like that but then again I can't stand Sult.
When Sult shouts "Elliane!" My eyes widen as I think "oop, wasn't listening." I respond "yes." Sult asks "are you even hearing me?" I think "I wish I wouldn't." I ask "what do you want?" Sult's eyes widen and she huffs as she asks "I wanted to know if you could make this grow." Sult holds up her hand to show a seed. I ask "what is it?" As Sult closed her hand she says "a rose tree." My eyes widen and Sult sighs as she explains "I wanted to know if you could make it grow then make it into a liquid." I respond "oh so a youth giving potion." Sult replies "what I didn't think of that? I just thought it would be red I wanted to add it to my bathhouse." I hold out my hand and Sult puts the seed in my hand. As I look to the seed Sult asks "can you do it?" I hold out my hand as I respond "I could try but I won't." Sult's eyes widen as she asks "why not?" I respond "I don't know I've never done it before." Sult grabs the seed as she huffs. Sult turns as she states "you're just doing this because of what that idiot said." My eyes widen and I respond "you do realize we would have to go through testing. Not only could it make someone a baby again. What if it makes you're skin so soft that it falls off." Sult walks off as Qarizan runs after her and I sigh.
When Canlyn says "people are finally accepting you yet you self sabotage it." My eyes widen as I look to Canlyn. Canlyn says "I don't see why you would." I respond "I'm not sabotaging anything. I just can't stand Sult, at most it was just a joke." Canlyn asks "yet you do it to someone you can't stand?" I respond "it's ju,-" Canlyn interuped me by saying "didn't she make people more scared of you. So this joke won't exactly help you in fact that's why it seems like self sabotage." My eyes widen as I think "what did I do?" Canlyn adds "I'll admit I don't see you're plan." Canlyn turns and I ask "plan? What?" Canlyn was walking off and she looks to me she asks "you coming?" I respond "oh yes." Canlyn continues walking as she says "I know just were to look for,-"
I turn as I walk behind the shops. As I think "sabotage? Did I really? No!" I sigh and I run straight towards the trees. I only pass two trees as I slow down. I let out a breath as I look around. With just trees around me but quite spread out. I sigh as I think "everything is different." I sit down in the grass as I look up to the trees.
I smile as I think "ah Mr. Mystery Man I understand why you stay in the forest."
As I twirl a grass blade with my fingers I smile more.
When Snap!
My eyes widen as I turn. Instantly vines shot out from underneath me. I gasp as I shut my eyes. As I only hear wind I slowly open my eyes to see a dear frozen in it's tracks. The dear was purple with blue spots here and there on its back and neck. The dear had massive antlers which was covered in dark green moss and light green vines with tiny yellow flowers on it. I stand as I say "ancient dear from the dark side?" The dear runs off away from me. I think "what on earth is that dear doing over here." As I turn back my eyes widen to see the vines were still straight up. On one vine was a leaf which the vine stabbed straight through. I reach up for the leaf yet I can't reach. I grab the vine as I stand on my tippy toes. I reach up, again, for the leaf when the vine bends down for me to grab the leaf. I grab the leaf as I say "thanks?" As I look to the leaf the whole in the middle looked so clearly cut. My eyes widen and I drop the leaf as I look forward.
I clenched my fist as I let out my breath.
I instantly start running. I jump over a log and slide under the next as Walckon words pop in my head "that's incredible so what can you do with it? Do you fight with plants?" As the leaf pops in my head I think "is it possible?" I jump over another log as I slide my hand on it Mr. Mystery Man's words shot into my mind. "yes, but if you see it as constantly being hunted by multiple people and you find yourself in the middle of the forest, what do you do?" As suddenly branches shot out of the tree. I stop as I turn looking to the sharp branches. I gasp as I smile. I turn slightly and I look to a tree as I think "could I?" I walk to a tree as a small branch was sticking out with a tiny green leaf. I grab the branch as I shut my eyes. I start pulling but for once I open my eyes. As the branch grows I kept pulling and suddenly it shines brightly and I fall back. I gasp as land abruptly. As something even lands on my legs my eyes widen to find a wooden axe? The axe was massive with it's long handle and huge axe. There on the top was a small branch with a leaf. I grab the handle with both hands as I stand. Yet the axe stays on the ground. I gasp as I couldn't pick it up. I clenched the handle as look around. I drag the axe to a tree. Just before the tree I turn as the axe lifts up slightly. I spin again and step forward as the axe hits the tress base. My eyes widen as the axe was stuck. I pull the axe but it was stuck. I pull harder as my flats slip in the gravel. When finally the axe come out and I fall back. I gasp as the axe lands on my legs.
Crack!
My eyes widen as I look up to find the tree was cracking straight up on the trees side. I gasp when suddenly the tree falls towards me. My eyes widen as I push the axe off me. I quickly dart to the right as I roll. The tree crashed down and my eyes widen as the axe was completely crushed under the tree. I clenched my fist as I let out a breath I think "well that was." I just fall back as I look to the sky. I was breathing heavily and I sit up as I look to the tree I say "I took down a tree." I laugh as I say "I took down a tree!" I stand as I jump happily. I stop as I softly say "I took down a tree." My eyes widen as Harlyn words hit me like a wild kani bird.
*As Harlyn looks down she said "please forgive me Elliane I only said that because I was scared."*
I step back as I remember.
*I ask "do you all think I'm scary?" As each of the woman freeze Qarizan said "it's just because we didn't know what you're power was but now that we see it we know it's safe. Do you understand?"*
I clenched my fist as I turn walking. Soon I exit the tress as I think "does everyone fear me too?" As I look to the town I clenched my fist. I start walking to towards the town. I let out a breath before peeking around Nile's shop. The marketplace was booming, full of people as some chat and even some were laughing. I step a bit more out as I even see children running around.
As I was lost in watching, suddenly I feel a tug on my dress.
I look down to see a little boy. I smile as I step back. The little boy actually looked familiar. The little boy says "I'm Kai." I felt uncomfortable so I step back again. Kai states "I don't know if you remember me but you wrapped my knee." My eyes widen and Kai suddenly held up a small white flower. I kneel as I respond "of course I do." Kai asks "will you not take it?" I clenched my fist and reply "well I,-" Kai suddenly dashed foward with his arms apart. I gasp as I step back and Kai hugs my legs. Kai says "I'm sorry momma don't like you, but I do." I respond "oh no that's nothing." Kai turns as he steps away. Kai looks back to me and he smiles as he sets the flower down on the grass before running off.
I just stare at the flower as my thoughts collide.
Yet it's broken by "Elliane!" My eyes widen to see Canlyn walking to me. I turn as I think "oh no." Canlyn asks "Elliane?" I turn back as Canlyn stops a bit before me and she says "I guess we lost each other come on now." Canlyn turns walking off and I sigh. I kneel and grab the flower. I push the flower towards the grass. As the flower goes back into the grass I let it go as it perks up more slightly. I smile and stood. I could only look to the flower for one second before "Elliane!" My eyes widen and I look up to Canlyn as she puts her hands on her hips. Canlyn asks "you don't listen huh?" I step over the flower as I respond "look it's just,-" Canlyn interuped me by saying "I know you have never had a friend." My eyes widen and I reply "well I do have friends." Canlyn smiles as she responds "I'm sure you do but I mean real friends." I say "I hav,-" Canlyn interuped me again as she states "oh Elliane I grew up here to, please don't tell me you count Anazar." I look down as I think "she is right." Canlyn adds "Elliane I'm just being honest Anazar isn't a friend let alone someone to brag about." Canlyn reached out as she continues "it's alright I can be you're friend." Canlyn fingers tips almost touch my arm and instantly I grab her wrist. I state "I may not have friends but I know what a friend looks like." I drop Canlyn's hand as I walk around her. I could only take a step before Canlyn grabs my arm. My eyes widen as I turn looking to Canlyn. Canlyn says "wait I didn't mean to be rude I'm just trying to,-" I interuped Canlyn by saying "oh no no it's fine truly." Canlyn's eyes widen and I pull my arm. Canlyn adds "wait I just,-" when suddenly vines shot out my bracelet as it poured over Canlyn. My eyes widen and I feel Canlyn let my arm go. I pull my arm as Canlyn steps back fixing her hair. I look to my bracelet and smile. I grab all of the vines at the base and pull it off. Canlyn let's out a huff but I don't even look to her. I kneel as I stab the vines into the ground. Instantly the vines go into the ground and even orange flowers start to bud and grow. I smile as I stand. Canlyn asks "you like you're power?" My eyes widen and I ask "do you like yourself?" Canlyn's eyes widen and she says "I apologize I just,-" I turn walking away. Canlyn gasps and I hear her footsteps follow me. I turn and I see Nile's shop empty. I keep walking and Canlyn says "wait Elliane!" As I pass the vine I can hear more people passed the marketplace entrance. Canlyn says "wait," as she runs up to me. I respond "shh." Canlyn's eyes widen as she asks "did you shush me?" I ask "didn't you notice the marketplace got kinda empty, very fast?" Canlyn responds "what? no." I turn and my eyes widen to see the food stand, empty, not even Lay was there. I turn continuing walking towards the entrance. As I can see people around the well I think "what's going on?" Canlyn asks "oh Elliane I have this plant that's dead could you take a look at it?" I glare at Canlyn when I hear Liam yell "Lay!" My eyes widen as I look to the well and run towards it. I can hear Canlyn snap "no wait!" I hit the crowd but push through people as people turn they instantly step back once they see me. I clenched my fist but I see Nile, Liam, Inakta and Hlem facing the well. As everyone stares at me Nile turns and his eyes widen as he says "Elliane." I ask "what's happening?" Inakta turns as he asks "Elliane?" Hlem turns as he states "I knew she couldn't do it." Walckon walks around the well as he adds "I told you send me." Inakta asks "Canlyn what happened?" Canlyn let's out a breath as she responds "hey I tried." I ask "what is going on?" Nile replies "she is already here let's just show her." Liam turns and my eyes widen to see black paint on his shirt. As Lay jumps infront of Liam she says "yes let's show her." Lay was also covered in black paint. I ask again "what is going on? Really?" Nile responds "it was supposed to be a surprise Elliane." Nile steps aside with Liam and Lay. As Inakta and Hlem step back my eyes widen to see the well was decorated. The bottom of the well was painted like if petals were growing from underneath the well, along with pots around it which held small plants. On the roof of the well was more plants, moss, vines, and a small sign which said "dedication to Elliane our beautiful flower." I ask "what is this?" Inakta explains "a dedication to you." I look to Nile and he gives me a smile. I look around to see everyone staring me down. I say "it's lovely thank you all." As I put my arms slightly up a woman to my right flinches. My eyes widen and the woman was just looking down. Inakta says "yes I decided to do this to show the towns thanks." I respond "that's very." I look to Nile and he looks down. I continue saying as I step forward "kind of you. I mean kind that all of you did this. Uh thank you." Nile nods and I smile as Inakta eyes slightly close he explains "you have nothing to thank us for." I sway my arm as I respond "well still thank you." When the woman from before runs off. My eyes widen and Inakta replies "she's so busy oh uh."
Inakta pats his pockets as he steps closer to me. Inakta smiles as he says "I had this made." Inakta holds out a small box. The small box was green with a black ribbon around it. I ask "uh what is it?" Inakta responds "well it's a gift." I say ask "mhmm but for who?" Inakta smiles as he responds "for you my beautiful flower." My eyes widen and I look to Nile. Nile didn't look happy let's just say that. I step back as I reply "thank you but I can't accept." Inakta states "Nile you have raised just a kind woman I just adore it. Now why don't you tell her it's fine to take it." Nile's eyes widen and he clenched his fist. My eyes widen and I instantly grab the box as I say "I appreciate you thinking of me and getting me a gift but please if I could just pay you,-" Inakta interpreted me by stating "that doesn't sound like a gift now does it?" I sigh as I think "there no wining here is there." Inakta clears his throat and I smile as I respond "thank you Inakta." Inakta says "well of course Elliane I hope you like it." I reply "it's a cute box." I could only look to the box before my eyes wander, I look to the well. I say "really this wasn't necessary but thank you everyone." As people start walking off. Inakta clears his throat. My eyes widen and of course Inakta was still before me. Inakta says "I'm waiting, please open it." I ask "open?" Inakta smiles as he says "so adorable you act like you've never gotten a gift before." As suddenly Inakta steps forward as he pulled the black ribbon. As the bow unravels Inakta smiles more. I grab the box lid and open it to find a small light green cloth bag. I smile as I say "it's cute." Inakta smirks and he says "I swear you're adorable." My eyes widen as Inakta grabs the bag he opens it as he explains "there's something inside." I smile as I respond "oh I thought you were giving me the bag." Inakta turns the bag over the box and My eyes widen to see a necklace fall into the box, it was green and the shape of a leaf. When Inakta smirks as he says "I would never tease you." Inakta suddenly smirks more as he adds "unless you want me to." My eyes widen when Nile states "alright," as he steps in-between me and Inakta. I smile as I look down. Inakta laughs as he steps around Nile he says "ah Nile." Nile says "it's beautiful," as he picks up the necklace. Inakta reaches for the necklace and Nile quickly walks around me as he opens it. As Nile puts the necklace around my neck. I smile more as Nile closed it and I pull my hair out. I say "thank you Nile." Nile responds "of course." I say "also thank you Inakta it's beautiful I love it." Inakta smiles as he replies "of course anything for my dear Elliane." Inakta walks off and Nile clenched his fist. I place my hand on Nile's arm as I ask "Nile did something happen between you and Inakta?" Nile's eyes slightly close and he responds "I have to test medicine." Nile turns walking away and I sigh as I fold the box and slip it into my dress beside my wrap. I look to the well as I step forward I reach out touching the painted stone. I couldn't hold my smile as I think "well this is better right? Is this better?" My eyes slightly close as I remember the woman flinching when I moved. I clenched my fist when suddenly a woman gasps. My eyes widen and I spin around to see Luna. Luna smiles as she says "Elliane?" I respond "Luna? Hi I can't believe you're out." Luna steps forward as she says "well I needed to speak with you Elliane. Also I just passed Inakta he said I should check out the well." I smile as I say "well it's beautiful." Luna responds "yes it is." Luna sighs as she continues "Elliane I would like to apologize you tried to offer to take me to see the flowers you're mother made and well that's something I couldn't wish for more." I smile as I respond "I have a better idea."
As me and Luna walks off towards my cottage. Luna was smiling brightly yet little did I know I was only going to cause more harm than good.
