Currently, Ella was holding her head with Liyanna rubbing her back and Daniel stroking her hand but Ella soon pulled away her hand rubbing her forehead. Ella honestly did not know how to feel. What just happened? She was just here to try and remember an accident how did these people even get led into knowing that Coastal Luna was sinking. It was hard to take it all in, and have the power of a god!? Alena must be some crazy woman after all it did not make sense. Ella was a mythical daughter of the Greek Earth Goddess from Mythology? Ha! As Ella was taking the time to try and process it all, Alena broke the silence and offered, "There is some lemonade.."
Kennedy however was already sipping away on her gold reusable straw. Sipping it, the female looked surprised as she immediately said, "Whoa, guys this is soo good, the blackberry, the lime, the lemon! How did you do it old woman! Is this magic?"
Alena smiled at Kennedy's praise and immediately poured more into a cup for Ella and said, "Nope but Ella is, well not entirely. I try not to let my abilities influence my real life."
Ella taking the cup asked hesitantly, "Magic? Me? I am not magic, I am a whiz in the kitchen but there is some misunderstanding between my family and me. We aren't magic at all. Dad especially. Mi Papi was a simple carpenter, he fixed stuff with..."
Ella had a realization as she tried to recall memories images flashed in her head and it was a swords clashing, was it all true, or was she lied to? Alena smirked and walked close to Ella and said, "If what we find to be connected to your powers then maybe you will see, I was right."
Liyanna immediately held Ella's head protectively and said, "I don't want you to blow up Ella's head!"
Alena looked surprised at Liyanna and immediately chuckled saying, "Smart one aren't you but you are also pretty dumb if you think I would let Ella's head blow up easily, I did that to test the waters and now I know so mind your books missy."
Liyanna looked extremely confused and muttered to herself, "I never thought I would be mad hearing that."
Daniel immediately touched Ella's shoulder and said, "What are you going to do then? Are you going to enter Ella's mind through some spell?"
Shrugging the older woman just put it bluntly, "I am going to make a paste, do an incantation to hopefully overrule the spell, unlocking Ella's memory and power with a high risk of blowing her up. Her Gaia side will definitely come through though and protect her I believe. I have the powders at my disposal, passed down to me from various villages in the great kingdom of-"
"Hey, Crazy lady can I get more lemonade?"
Alena smiled and poured Kennedy more lemonade, with Liyanna soon taking a sip of her own cup. Finding it pleasant she said, "Whoa even the crazies make good drinks...I am enjoying this Alena."
Daniel raised an eyebrow and hesitantly took his own cup of lemonade and began sipping it before setting it down and saying. "It's good."
Alena smiled at the group trying her lemonade as she began making a paste out of powders on shelves of her shop, mixing various colorful powders with water into a paste Alena immediately took the hands of Daniel, Liyanna, and Kennedy and asked, "You three dab your finger into the gold paste and dab it on Ella."
Liyanna pulled away and said, "What!? Do you really think this will work!? You said there was a high chance to blow Ella up!"
Daniel without hesitation dabbed it on Ella's forehead gently with Ella looking up at Daniel, he smiled down at her only to get down to her level. Looking into her eyes he said, "Let's figure out what's going on together? I know you are sick of all of this bs. Just know your friends are here for you. Let's figure out what happened"
