[Duhsh Forest, Alessandra is demonstrating her magical prowess to Alenia and she is very impressed by her natural ability]


High Elf Alenia: Since birth you have been able to conjure such magic?


Alessandra Zalori: I don't know, I can always remember being able to.


High Elf Alenia: How does it work for you?


Alessandra Zalori: I don't know... I just feel it.


High Elf Alenia: What would you consider the most amazing thing you've been able to do to date?


Alessandra Zalori: Hmm... Oh! I know!


[Alessandra crouches down and shovels her fingers through the earth searching for a seed. She places the seed in her hand and holds it in front of Alenia. It begins to germinate and sprouts into a flower without any water or earth in Alessandra's palm]


High Elf Alenia: [mutters] Vanima...


Alessandra Zalori: Thank you!


High Elf Alenia: You understand me?!


Alessandra Zalori: I heard that word before, it means beautiful. Doesn't it?


High Elf Alenia: Who told you that?


Alessandra Zalori: I heard it in a dream once.


High Elf Alenia: [Aside] a dream? who is this child? 


Alessandra Zalori:  I'm alone and scared. I want to go back home.


High Elf Alenia: If you go back home, you'll miss Shadow when he comes back.


Alessandra Zalori: Oh! you're right! I better stay here. He'd be worried if  I went away wouldn't he?


High Elf Alenia: [Guilty smile] Of course, be patient. He will come say hello again dear.


Alessandra Zalori: Are we going to see the dragon now?


High Elf Alenia: [chuckles] Full of energy aren't we? Alright, I do want to see how you speak to 'Mr.Dragon' after all.


[Alessandra takes Alenia's hand and holds it in excitement, Alenia becomes startled and goes bright red but complies and walks away with her]
