As Alessandra and Clyde part ways, she is now left under the care of the Duhsh Elves while he continues on the path of vengeance. The story of what happened in the seven year absence until their next fated meeting remained unknown, until now.
[Dhush Woodlands - Gwaithgyrth. Enter Alessandra Zalori. The first light of early morning has passed through the woodlands. A circular stone pathway buckles from the tree roots and undergrowth that triumphantly reclaims the forest ground. Resting in the centre is the branch that now serves as the 'base' of Alessandra Zalori's staff.]
Alessandra Zalori:[aside] Solitara approaches quickly, I never thought this day would actually come for me, I still don't feel ready for it, how can I continue to just pretend to be something I'm constantly reminded that I'm not?
[Alessandra Zalori stares attentively at the base branch as she slowly unravels a cloth containing the earth crystal fragment she intends to use as the heart of her staff]
Alessandra Zalori:[aloud] I may not be worthy in the eyes of many of the Dhush but I am in your eyes Virithuir [looks to the crystal], Lnilth [looks to the branch], Naneth [looks at her reflection through the crystal's shimmer].
{Naneth = Mother}
[Alessandra Zalori kneels in front of the branch, her hands delicately cradling the crystal fragment as she closes her eyes. The sound of songbirds and the forest breeze seem to slowly fade to a hush as her lips slowly begin to part]
Alessandra Zalori:
I gûr a thond go-in-nair i faer a rhaw, Be eriol ar gwaith, i ambar a cuil bain. Gweston hain i dadwen e-gwannad anann, Ar hain i reviar ah a tiroven ú-aníra.
Ae torniath i cîr 'waew, i bronad gwaith, Garo i ambar 'wain a mîl adlann. Na sael ar elenath, bêdh i vineth cen, I enniath linno vi rîn idhren.
{The heart and base do join the soul and frame, As one with land, where fate and life are same. We honor they who walked in days of yore, And those who tread beside us evermore.
As stewards of this earth, we yield our might, To soothe the planet's cries with mercy's light. By grace and favor, may the morrow find, Our deeds remembered in ancient rhyme.}
[The branch and crystal begin to levitate as a powerful magic begins to bind and merge them. The branch is slowly warped and carved elegantly with Alessandra Zalori's magic as leaves begin to materialise around the ring of the staff. The earth crystal fastens tightly into the centre, forming the heart of the staff. It slowly floats within Alessandra Zalori's grasp as she softly folds her fingers around the base.]
Alessandra Zalori:[excitedly exclaim] I actually did it! [softly under breath] thank you, Lnilth.
[Exit Alessandra Zalori]
