(*OOC*) This took place before everything started
happeneing , when things were oh so much simpler.
Mirage walked along Main
street, carrying Maron in her arms, he was fast asleep. She enjoyed carrying
him as he slept, his peacefulness setting her at ease. His little chest
rising and falling almost in perfect sync with her small footsteps. Zaneritos
walked along side of her, he seemed to be very happy, seemed to be enthralled
by the fact that Mirage and Maroin were apart of his life , but there was
something missing, yes of course, Mirage would not say yes. This saddened
him slightly but he seemed to accept it, even now walking alongside Mirage
and the sleeping child, he had no other choice right now. They stopped
in Festival Square and went and sat on the bench there. Mirage beagn slowly
rocking Mar on. They sat in quiet conversation, talking about this and
that, and suddenly Mirage grew quiet,something felt wierd just as it had
in her dreams, a prescence was felt near her, one of comfort and calm,
like the one a mother might emit from her to her child. Mirage looked at
Zaneritos , a curious look on her face, she asked "Do
ye feel that?"With a shake of his head Zaneritos
smiled and looked back at Mirage just as quizzically"What
are ye talking about?" Mirage shook her head
in dismissal of the feeling, she could not remember ever feeling like that
before, although it felt familiar and she knew there was so many things
she did not know. After all since her memory loss she had started over.
Then as if a light was ripping a whole through this world's dimensional
fabric, A woman very much like Mirage appeared, shimmering into view, a
smile on her face. Her long black hair flowed down her back in ringlets
, just as Mirage's had, the green eyes sparkled with wisdom and everything
glowed about her, a part of Mirage that was lost so long ago. It was Edie,
Mirage's slain mother. Mirage however did not realize this, and decidedly
began to question the prescence in a rude conde scending way that was her
style when threatened. "Who are ye and what
do ye want?" Mirage stammered with her words
because she felt deep inside that she knew who this was, but whether or
not this was a good or bad being was too forgotten. Edie smiled at her
daughter in a loving and knowing way, and reached out a hand and touched
it to Mirage's cheek, Mirage recoiled slightly but did not move much, then
it hit her. A flood of memory, pictures with no words, no feeling, just
a parade of her life as she had lived it, right up until the very moment
of her memory loss. Mirage let out an audible gasp, while Zaneritos sensing
that Mirage was going to go into shock and might drop Maron, scooped him
out of her lap. "Come 'ere little fellow."
He
whispered and gently cradled the still sleeping boy in his arms. Mirage
gripped the bench with both of her small hands, she studied the figure
before her. "Mother?"
she asked in total shock now. Edie smiled and nodded, still not speaking,
she looked over her daughter and shook her head, a little look of disappointment
on her face. "I see ye still have it inside
o' ye, and that is a very dangerous thing." Edie
places her palm against her daughters cheek and ran it down to her chin
to turn her face up to look at her. "Ye memories
won't tell ye much but I will explain, the key ye have inside o' ye...must
be removed and be removed soon." "A sorceror must be found, the one that
stole ye as an infant and placed the key within ye, his name is Cerembelles,
if ye do not find him before those priests do, ye will die and so will
many people of this realm." "Ye know full well what that power can do....the
four winds at the mercy o' the caller, the resources need nothing but a
word....fire t' burn, water t' drown, and so on...and ye can not allow
it, ye must find the sorceror, remove the key, and de stroy it so these
things will not come to pass." Edie spoke
quickly.
