A Meeting with Mother Part 1

(*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.

Mirage swallowed the hard lump that had grown in throat, she realized the severity of the situation, whoever controlled that key had the potential to destroy life as everyone knew it. The reprecussions of failure scared her. If she failed in her endeavors, the key could be used to strip the realm she knew of all the resources of the land leaving behind a barren wasteland, and a very small population, one that might not be so kind. She had to find this sorceror. Or die Edie sighed quietly and looked her daughter over and realized that the fear had gripped her so bad that she had nearly bitten her lip clean through. She touched her daughters mouth gently healing her and smiled. "The key can also be used to preserve life, keep it the way it was meant t' be, maybe even make things better for ye all... But.... If those scavengers and bringers of evil get it, that will not happen. Keep that in mind dear." "One more thing, before I go, your true name is to be known, ye name is Mirage Medelia Proudfoot, ye father gave it t' ye... Now... I must go m' dear heart." Mirage stammered a moment and then blurted out "I love ye mother..." And Edie disap peared. Mirage looked at Zaneritos and began to cry. Maron in his light sleep awoke quickly and starterd to scream. Mirage had to pull it together for him, she had to, she was all he had. 

It has begun...

In the midst of a terrible arguement Mirage in her moment of anger collapsed to the ground in extreme pain. Her very essence seemingly ripped from her..."Oh my gods..." she screamed in agony on the ground, Zaneritos, whom she was arguing with moments before came to her side. "The key...it must be removed....it has begun...." Mirage writhed with pain on the ground in the clan hall, she managed to get one last sentence out... "Find Sylus.....go find him ....NOW!" Mirage screamed in utter pain.... Zaneritos took off quickly to look for Sylus. Mirage passed out on the ground in her clan hall......it has begun..
