<DIV> She woke curled in the limbs of a large tree. The dawn’s mist was just dissipating with the rising sun. She stretched and opened her eyes to the morning light. She gave thanks to her Goddess for another beautiful morning, before gazing on the surrounding area. Looking out at the field, a look of confusion passed across her features. This wasn’t right. This wasn’t her home. She placed a hand on the trunk of the tree and attempted to find its inner voice. It had one, but it wasn’t the voice of HER tree. Not the tree she curled up in the night before. “What is this place?” She asked. No answer came. Slowly she climbed to the ground in hopes to find something familiar, something that would give her a clue as to where she was this morning. There was nothing. Looking around she noticed that her equipment she had put away the night before was also gone. She attempted to cast as spell she had done the evening before; a simple shape change. Nothing happened. She remembered the words and how it was done, but did not possess the skills anymore to make the change occur. Something had happened in the night. She could only cast the simplest of spells; making fire and ice were about all she could handle. She didn’t understand what had happened. She called and prayed to her Goddess, Tunare. No answer had been forthcoming. She felt a tenuous connection, but nothing as strong as she had the day before. Mysticmorgana looked around and decided she needed to find someone with answers. Getting up she started walking in search of someone…anyone who might tell her what had happened.</DIV>

As she journeyed through the strange yet familiar landscape, she came upon a tiny woman seeking some help. Not one to bypass a call for help, Mystic introduced herself. This woman, the Matron of the Nursery she was called, had concerns about a disturbance happening. In the course of Mystic’s helping the Matron, she was approached by a bear. The bear did not seem to intend her harm, but neither did he seem to want to leave her alone. “Leave the Druid alone, Briar.” A voice was heard in the air. Mystic looked around but saw no one. “I used to be able to see those invisible to others,” she thought. “He’s not bothering me.” She spoke. A Wood Elf appeared before her. “Torryn Woodsrunner” He introduced himself. “Mysticmorgana” She replied. After asking some questions she made a startling discovery. Her night’s sleep had lasted 500 years! She also discovered that he too was from her time, and a follower of Tunare, Mother of All. Throughout the day, Torryn helped Mystic with some of the various tasks she had agreed to help with. He showed her where things were located and helped her start to get a feel of the surrounding area. When the majority of her duties were done, he took her… home…. home to Kelethin. It had changed, yet it hadn’t. Her hometown was now run by the Fae. She had never seen them before……She didn’t understand it all…but she knew she needed rest. As she slept that night, she was more confused than ever… yet she dreamed of Mother…. She heard her.. or rather remembered her words as she had fallen asleep the night before… “Sleep well and sleep safely my child…Seek me out again sometime after you awake.”

"Now why would a Dark Elf, approach me to make sure I'm okay? Especially a Dark Elf who does not know me?" Mystic couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that Torryn would send a Dark Elf to her.. yet he had. Darien had approached her saying a certain ranger wanted him to check in with her... There was something about him.. he knew and used Nature magic. Similar to her own, yet different....To her mind that just wasn't right...but.. if he knew Torryn, she wasn't going to throw away the offer of help in this strange world of hers. So putting her natural suspicion away, she accepted his help, and he took her to Crushbone. She thought she had been done with the Orcs of that clan As they roamed the area, she slowly begain to regain some of her skills. She also discovered that her affinity for healing was coming back much stronger than before... Maybe that's why her Goddess wanted her to be in this time..... Darien told her that he was looking into why she ended up taking a 500 year nap. Who knows...Message Edited by MysticmorganRose on 01-11-2007 11:01 AM
