Daani sat back on the rock she'd flipped off of and was looking up at the moon just as Lue came, saying her name. She knew he was there, but didn't show any sign of an acknowledgement. Her joyous and happy feeling had settled into a sort of calming peace. The 9mm lay in her lap, still wrapped around her shoulder.
Lue's worry pulsed through her like blood.* She could feel it strong. So she turned her head and gave Lue a look as if to say, 'It's safe here. I can feel it.'
((*will be explained in about two posts [of mine] or so))

Phyn closed her mouth and muffled the retort that would have followed Checkr's order if she had a chance. She trusted Lue, but there was no point in staying behind now. She landed, scampering after Checkr till they had reached the clearing, were she was kept busy with glancing over her shoulder at the looming trees.

Lue heard footsteps behind him and glances back only to find Checkr and Phyn following him like he didn't want... He looked back at Daani and noticed that she was quite calm... It was like she didn't think she could get hurt. Last time Lue was in here it was daylight and he was still running half of the time because there was usually something chasing after him but tonight he hadn't seen one thing that seemed threatening, other than the mud... Lue nodded and waved a hand behind him for the others to continue following him and walked over to Daani, still not satisfied with that look but continuing on anyways...

Daani did feel safe here. Truly. She didn't know why, but she did. And mayhap the 9mm resting in her lap and the bullets in her pocket added to that safety, she wasn't sure. But she was sure that she'd heard a sort of shimmery ting. But it didn't sound threatening. And if the fact that several fireflies nearby started to shift back and forth in place quickly until a sort of glitter flew off of them was threatening, then she was a halloween Mynci. The glitter hit the ground and swirled upward, and in its midst was a glowing Aisha.
((Another Aisha, hehe ^^ she's a good guy, though))

"What the...?" Lue muttered as sparkles flew up and another aisha appeared before them. Lue growled and cranked his gun, not having taken his bullets out like he did with the others. "What's your business here?" He snapped, tired of all these aishas, even though this was only the second one. He walked up and put himself between the aisha and the girls, not quite sure what this one was capable of...
((Ah, but Lue doesn't know that *pets Lue*))

The mystery Aisha did not look fazed by the gun in Lue's hand. Rather, she asked gently, "My dear boy, aren't you a tad too young to be playing with such things? That's no toy." She smiled.
Daani's eyes widened. She knew that voice! She looked at the beautiful glowing being hovering above the ground, softly levitating up and down. She didn't look like a regular glowing Aisha. This one was a pale blue, with chesnut curls flowing down her back and over her shoulders. She had piercing sapphire eyes and looked more like a goddess than a regular person!
She slid off the rock and ambled toward the woman in a sort of daze. Her heart pounded in her ears. The woman looked away from Lue and to her, and then held her arms open wide. Daani fell into them. They embraced as if they'd known each other for a long time. The Aisha kissed Daani on the forhead and brushed a strand of hair out of the girl's eyes. "My darling daughter," the Aisha murmured, her voice silky and warm. "Finally I have found you."
((WHOA! Major twisty there! XDDDDDDDDDD Mayhap not, but still X3))

Lue about dropped the gun, "Daughter...?" He said and started at the two embracing on the path. Lue didn't really know what to say... It wasn't like the woman was hurting Daani and Daani seemed to be the one who went to the stranger other than the other way around... Lue straightened up and turned back to the others giving them a clueless look. He really had no idea on what to do... so he waited...
((poor lue has no parents...))

The woman straightened and put a hand on Daani's shoulder. "Yes, she's my daughter," she said sweetly. "I have been looking for her for months. She's been missing." She frowned and looked down sadly. "And now I'm like this..." she mumbled quietly.
Her head shot up. "You three. Who are you?" she asked. "Did you kidnap my daughter? Did you hurt her?" Daani answered that one with a shake of the head. "Honey, you've lost your memory, haven't you? And your voice...?" She stopped. Then she asked them, more nicely, "Where did you meet her, and why are you carrying such deadly weapons?"

((wait a minute then...))
Lue stared blankly at the woman and Daani... "Uhhh, my name's Lue?" He said not quite sure what to say still, "And we took these from another aisha... Daani is carrying one too..." He pointed out and then became silent. He never had any parents before or been around many either, he wasn't quite sure what to say... Most of the kids he talked to hated their parents so he couldn't figure out why Daani's mom was being to nice...

Phyn had stopped, hidding a bit in the shadow as the glowing aisha had appeared. Her antennae were stock still in fright, but even when Daani went to this new aisha she did not let her guard down. She took out her camera, taking a quick peek at the last picture taken before snapping another shot of Daani and her aparent mother hugging.
When the glowing aisha snapped at them though, she jumped, her wings fluttering in surpise. She hasily answered her questions.
"I'm Phyn, and me and Lue ran into her in Meridell. She was with Checkr first though." She nodded toward the kyrii, looking fearfully at the aisha like she was someone out of a storybook tale.

The Aisha nodded slowly. She smiled at Phyn's camera. "Goodness, what is that contraption?" she asked. "I've never seen anything quite like it."
Daani pulled on her mother's hand. The Aisha remembered herself and reason here. She cleared her throat. "Forgive me, my name is Nadira Serea Reshaen. I thank you for your hospitality over my daughter, Daani Aritoi Reshaen. I suppose this would be the time in any other circumstance that I take her home and we live peacefully again, but that is not the case now. She has no memory or voice. I can tell without even asking her." She looked at them. "Can I trust you three with valuable, precious information?" she asked carefully. "It may help my daughter, but she cannot carry them out alone. She needs speakers to help her. You all are speakers. I cannot help her because I am... well, anyway, can I or can I not trust any of you?" She and Daani waited for an answer.

For a moment a look of disbelief at the comment about the camera, but she didn't have time to answer before she was cut off by Daani's mother. She clutched the staps of her bag and camera, still ill at ease here.
When asked about the information, she was a bit taken by surprise. What's so special about Daani's voice? Surely she could get by without it, Phyn thought as the glowing aisha stated her question. She answered, with a bit of hesistation.
"Uh, sure? I mean, we've been with her this far, right?"

"And I'm Checkr!" she said, eager to introduce herself,"Sure..." said added doubtfully as answer to the aisha's question, eyeing her warily. She had pulled out her gun in imitation of Lue when the woman first appeared, but now it hung limply at her side. She briefly considered stuffing it into her pocket again, but had an extreme disclination to do so.
"And we're not playing with these. We need them." she added further, working hard to keep irritation out of her voice, simply because Daani's mother was making her feel childish and it was not a welcome feeling.
((OOOh! PAGE PWN! Wh00t wh00t! *dances* xD))

"Well, if my girl trusts you..." She looked at Daani, who nodded. "All right. You seem fine. Let me explain....
"Daani is an Oracle. And the last one, I'm afraid. I was one once, too, before I was killed in a massacre of our clan's village." Daani gasped and rushed forward by the others, turning to her mother in shock. She looked at her daughter sadly. "Yes, it's true. Can you remember?" She thought of the dream, and the strange woman... She tilted her hand back and forth to resemble so-so. "I see. Well, it's better than nothing. Anyway...
"We Oracles have strange abilities. I'm sure you know this, after you've been with one for a time. We have premonitions that take our vision into the future, past, or even something presently happening, but it's more random the younger we are. As we grow older, we can make ourselves have a premonition more often and for longer than a simple flash. But we can never stop the ones that come at random. We sit them out, and then we react."
Daani remembered the train incident with Lue. Was that a 'premonition'?
"We also can sense the feelings and desires of others around us, and can grant those wishes or deplete those fears if we are willing. If one of you three felt worried about somebody following you, for example, Daani could sense it and, if she wanted to, make it so whoever was following you could never find you. At least, for a time. And that was how the mud parted for you. Daani could feel your discomfort and disgust, so she made you a path that closed behind you so she could diminish the worry of being followed by that other Aisha from whom you got these weapons."
