"So that was Daani?" Phynasked in regard to the mud, slowly taking in all the aisha was saying. the best she could sum up was that oracles were magic user who could see the future. Seemed pretty straight forward to her. And judging from the only other magic user hse knew, some jetsam friend of her parent's friend Jukebox, magic users were normally dangerous and best avoided. But she said she could be trusted, and could only wait to see what would happen from it.

It took Lue a while to realize that the Aisha in front of him wasn't alive, perhaps because he had never associated with a ghost before. Daani's mother didn't look like a ghost though, he had always pictured them white blobs that scared people but this one looked like a normal being. When the older aisha started explaining this oracle business, the pieces of the puzzle finally settled into place, so that is why she acted so weird sometimes, those vision things.... She wasn't joking when she saw the train almost hit him, but was that the future? Was he going to be hit by a train...? That worried him but also excited him, if she could see the future then could she see the past? The aisha mentioned that Daani could...

Checkr also thought back at the train incident, furrowing her brow in deep thought. She then looked at Daani's mother, shrugged, and pocketed the gun. She exchanged glances with Phyn and Lue."So what do we do now?" she asked the aisha, taking a few steps closer away from the edge of the clearing. "Daani really wanted us to come here... Is this why?"

"Yes, and no," Nadira answered. "She could feel I was here, even if she didn't remember why or what, and also because her home is not too far from here. Or, I should say, was. I was killed and didn't come back in this form until recently. And by then it was too late to find out anything." She looked at Daani. "However... an Oracle without a voice is, in itself, a danger. Though Daani is just a child, it is still only a minor danger... for now. The longer she is without a memory or a voice, the worse it is for her. None of you are in danger, let me make that clear right now. But she is."
Daani was curious. She certainly wanted her voice and memory back, but what was so dangerous about their absence?

Lue looked at Daani and back at the Aisha, "Can we help in anyway.... I mean I guess we were already helping her get her voice back but yeah..." He wasn't quite sure what he was trying to say so it came out all wrong but he didn't want to see Daani, Phyn, or Checkr get hurt, even if the Aisha said that Daani would be the only one harmed. He had already lowered his gun and now was leaning against a tree, trying to process everything that was going though his mind.
((xDDDD Lue's a little slow when it comes to complex things like this ^^ xDDDD))

"Well, we said we'd help!" said Checkr boldly. She looked around at them all "How do we... get it back? Daani's voice? And how is it a danger...?" Her brain was brimming with questions she wanted to ask and be answered, but she bit her lip for the moment, getting anxious. If this was so important, they shouldn't waste any time.. They should get going.. and now.. Right?

"Yeah, how do you get someone's voice and memories back?" Phyn asked, a sceptical look on her face. She wasn't too fond of this aisha, but didn't see much point in turning back now. She had released her grip on her belongings, and now stood with her arms crossed over he chest. Her antennae flicked as she awaited the answers to their questions.

Nadira sighed. "An Oracle that has no voice cannot say what they've seen," she explained. "Our powers are also controlled by our voices. Without one, they can go haywire and physically shut down the body. Daani has been without hers for only a short time, as far as I can tell, but the sooner her voice is retrieved, the better." Her voice darkened. "But it won't be easy, let me tell you. It's not just her ability to speak that she has lost. The reason why when she tries to talk it comes out all raspy? Is because she has somehow had her entire voicebox removed from her throat."
"Her memories will return with time," she went on. "I presume seeing the site of our home's destruction will be a major trigger, as was meeting me. But someone has Daani's physical voicebox, and not spiritually saying, either. I mean the real thing."
((Hehe, how are you guys pronouncing 'Nadira' and 'Daani' in your heads? XDDD))

((I pronounce Daani like Danny and Nadria like Na-dree-uh ^^))
Lue still was confused on what was going on, "How can someone remove someone's voice box?? And how are we supposed to get it back, I mean ain't is rotting by now?" Lue made a face of disgust. He had no idea what he was supposed to do, something about getting an voice box back for Daani but when they got it back what were they supposed to do? Preform surgery? And who took this voice box to begin with?

((It's nuh-DEER-uh and dah-nee ^^ I pronounce Sarah's pets loo-EH-no, SEER-uh, a-(like in sAck)-ZOOR-uh, curr-AH-(as in fAther)-see, dreem-AH-toh, and soo-coo-ell. XDDD))
"It's not rotting," Nadira told Lue. "It's magically preserved. If anyone wanted to steal her voice box, they would need to have good reason to, and therefore good reason to keep it fresh and safe. It was taken out magically, and must be put back in magically. Daani will be able to put it in again."
Daani looked slightly unnerved by all this.

((I was closer XD. So yeah, your pets would be Ah-Rah-thyne, Tah-tray, Vin (like fin)-nah-tah, and Row-nee-shee-ah XD))
Phyn's look of sceptisism didn't lift, if anything she found this more and more unbelievable.
"Well, even if she can put it back, how do we know where to find it? And who has it anyway?"

((lol L-ew-ee-no, See-rah, Ah-zur-ah, Dream-uh-tow, Cur-ah-zee, and I don't know who you were trying to spell that last one to be... xDDDDD))
Lue was still confused, he had never really been exposed to magic before he met Daani and had no clue how it worked or anything about it... Yeah he had seen some people preform it but he didn't know why some people had magic and others didn't or anything of that nature. He sighed, "So all we need to do is find this non-rotting voice box.... Would you know who has it?" he asked with little hope of her knowing.

((Arr-uh-thyne, tah-tray, vee-neh-tuh, and roh-nee-shee-uh XDDD I was trying to say Sucuel. XD))
Nadira suddenly trembled. She had a weird look on her face as she said, "No, I don't know. But Daani... Daani does. She'll know. Just take her home, and fast! I'm..." And without another word she became a pile of glitter that fell to the ground and vanished.
Daani rushed there in horror, then turned to look at the others. She shrugged.
