Into the desert...? Blast... ... I-- I have erred in my judgment. I must find him... *holds the back of his hand against his forehead, he seems quite distressed* Which direction?
c: ~ Ah~! *drops the board and scurries away, returning with some things that she puts on the camel that appear to be bottles of water and other stuff, she comes back over with a bottle for you* Drink that sparingly.. It gets pretty hot out there...
I would get some alcohol and pain medicine, but Loulu told me that's probably not a good idea... Um... Ummmm~... *turns around, looking through the things she put on the camel* I should have some... Some herbs or something...
Ah ha! *pulls out a bottle of something, scurries over* Kesese~ I love not having to work hard for some things~ ID
This stuff will feel weird, but it won't burn too much. It'll feel cold instead.. *takes the bandages off and applies the contents of the bottle on your leg before giving you new bandages* Hm~ better now? c:
*Looks at you, smiling slightly* I guess I can tell when someone doesn't like a certain way of doing things... I wish I new a little ice magic, because it might help to cool your leg down a little more, but... That... *frowns, looking away* Anna did...
*Sighs, shaking her head* Now my magic is even more limited... Anna and I figured out how to... Combine our magic, without Egypt's instructions... In the middle of training out in the desert, I got the idea that if Anna and I were to shoot fire and ice at each other a certain way, it could create water. With that, and my earth magic, we created a little oasis in the middle of nowhere for us to rest at... Together we had even more than just four elements...
*still looking aside* ... This is not something magic cannot heal. Yet I must bear these bandages until they take effect, while I bear them my magic have little to no power. Hnn... ... *finally turns his head back to you* ... Lady Anna-- *stops, apparently does not know how to continue*
*Has noticed the conversation scene has changed and you're now on the camel >n>;;*
*Shakes her head, holding the board in her hands tightly* I'm an idiot to think the things I've done in the past haven't affected him... Or anyone for that matter...
? *didn't notice you didn't notice before* ... For what we are, it is bound to... be so... ... You are not alone... Maria. *looking off into the distance, determined* ...Know you what to say to him? ... I... Or how it should be said... ...
It didn't seem as if he knew his way.. Considering the spirit in him prefers a cold climate, unless he can find his way through endless fields of snow he won't find his way out of the desert. Before long he'll get thirsty, and possibly collapse from heat exhaustion. It could be sooner than we think because he can't stand this kind of a climate. He always got sick when he came to visit Anna, and was only here for a day or two before returning home a mess... *Turns, whistling with his fingers and a camel appears, he tries to help you up before it walks closer*
... ...You have... my gratitude... Hnn... *looks a bit unsteady standing on one leg* ...What in blazes is that? *blinks and stares, did he ever see a camel before he does not remember it*
Waah~! *stumbles, falling at it* O-Owww... Ugh, wh-- why... *struggles to climb on* ...Never in my life... have I seen such a creature... A-Ah, my pardons! ... ... *once he got up, leans forward curiously* Will you introduce yourself?
*The camel leans it's head at you and bites your hair, chewing on it*
*He's smiling, trying to hold back a chuckle as he takes the reins; the camel stands, lifting you up with it and starts to walk* I'm unsure if there were any camel deities in the past...
! Hmph... So it is indeed an animal. *is not very pleased, trying to fix the mess in his hairdo* ... ... *yawns, then stares out over the vast fields of sand ahead* ... Nh... Had he Lady Anna with him?
*As they come to the edge of the sand dune, he lets the camel go and it gallops down quickly, nearly tripping, and he is slow to slide down the sand dune behind it*
!! *was just trying to shield his face from the sun, clutches tightly to the camel as it begins to gallop, but suddenly gets a startled expression and immediately lets go, sliding aside a bit before falling off*
I understand things are hectic in your country, as of late... In all the confusion, you can hide things. *Stops, glaring back at you, though looking hurt* You knew her better than I did- she ran from me to you seeking help.
This... Rebel... Attacked Maria, and Sycrensia. I owe my loyalty to him, not her. I trust this is taken care of... And, he already knows. Don't bother him. *Gives Anna a sad glance before turning, and wandering off into the desert*
I know now why I woke up strangled in the bath tub now, without your help... But now I need you- I-I'm... I-I'm ready for this, whether it might hurt or not... This magic has been trying to forge with my soul for a while, hasn't it? Hannes explained something of yurima, that he had found one that worked well enough with him that he wanted it to remain with him forever... I think I found that long ago, and have been too afraid of it...
*is still following, reaches out for your arm, trembling more now* ...I-It is not what wounds was afflicted on my body...! But those... those I thought of as family... ... They cast me away long before any of that! You-- You are... I am making you abandon all you have for this...!
*Squirms away from your hand* And what have I abandoned so far? *pouts* Both of my brothers are already upset with me, one of which disowned me for even saying that I loved you, basically! My sister- sweet Louise- and my friends- they know I'm one to make decisions as drastic as this. They understand it- and though I love them all very much, I understand what I'm getting myself into, Hannes! I knew it from the start when I said I wished to learn magic, so that I could be with you. They have not abandoned me, even thus far. Even if they were to, I would still go on. Unless by learning this I'm making you abandon me, then I want to proceed...
*Remains silent, but using his fingers to count, then he turns towards the dresser at the side of the hall and forces it against the door; something of an explosion erupts behind the door, and a bright light shines through the cracks as he tries to hold the dresser against the door* a moment later, something of a loud cry is heard and the door begins to rattle- something sounds like it's scratching at the door furiously without ceasing*
Why what? *he asks finally, still holding the dresser in place* I thought you were alright with her learning this magic...
*There's a blinding glow coming from the end of the hall, inside is a bright-white figure laying on the ground, you can't see any features, and it seems the figure is steaming like it's still pretty hot* the figure seems to be twitching too*
*Catches up in a moment, he's got oven-mitts on* What are you doing? Do you want her to burn to a crisp? *pushes you aside and grabs the figure, quickly tossing it into the bath and flings the mitts off as they catch fire and burn up*
*The water begins to bubble and steam; when it calms down, the water has evaporated and you can see clearly that it is Maria, without clothes and her hair is very long and Rapunzel-like* she's barely breathing*
My mother did the same to me when I began to learn magic. I was terrified to let the magic become one with my soul, as it would change me. It would consume me. But I had needed to leave my country to fight somewhere else with this magic; I could not let the Gods follow me around for it. It is hard to explain... But in coming an inch from death, my view changed dramatically. I saw that the reason why my hands would light on fire- the reason I'd wake up with trouble breathing, or something of drowning in my lungs was the magic being almost forceful. I was afraid of it, and it would not let me forget about that. I can sort of understand Sycrensia's magic, though it be different from my own. For you to be on par with him, you have come to your conclusion, I hope...
*Still freaking out for a moment, banging on the barrier and whimpering before she notices this* W-Wha... What am I-..! Oh! *closes her eyes, frowning and trying to calm herself*
