Thorenton: Thank you. Yours as well.
~Sizic smiles~
~Thal leans to look at the window~
Thal: Sizic. Have you any idea where she is? We need to leave.
Sizic: I haven't got an idea! Why did she leave you anyways?
Thal: She wanted to get some healing plants for him. Let us just wait and see.
Sizic: How can she see the plants in this dark night? I could barely find my way back here!
Thal: Calm down. She is a good witch. She'll be fine.
~Sizic rolls his eyes~
~The wooden door opens~
~A young girl. Perhaps in her early teen years, appears. She has bluish, greenish eyes~
Thal: Adriside!
~The girl steps forward into the room. She looks around then her eyes settle at Thal~
~The girl closes her eyes~
Thal: I haven't got an idea, and so has Sizic.
~The girl looks at Cecilia and then smiles. She closes her eyes again~
~Cecilia runs to hug the girl~
Cecilia: I missed you, too!
~The girl lets go of Cecilia. She focuses again on Thal~
Thal: Oh he's Thorenton. The man we were helping, remember?
~The girl looks at Thorenton. She closes her eyes~
Voice: 'Hello, I am Adriside. Nice to meet you'
~Thorenton looks frightened. He looks around the room~
Thal: Don't worry. It's Adriside's way of communicating. She basically cannot talk but she can telepathically speak to us.
Thorenton: Telepathically? You're witches?!
Thal: Well... yes we are.
~Thorenton jumps up. He stands on his own two feet and puts his hands in front of himself in a protective position~
Thorenton: What do you want?
Thal: Thorenton. Calm down. We mean no harm whatsoever.
~Thorenton focuses on the girl as she telepathically speaks to Thal. Bluish, greenish eyes...Thorenton remembers her~
Thorenton: It's you! Your the figure that was at our camp that night!
Adriside: 'Yes, and I remember you, too. You tried to catch me but I ran away. I think you were in trouble from your leader.'
Thal: Wait, what?
~Adriside looks at Thal~
Thal: Oh, okay then.
Thorenton: What? What did she say?
Adriside: 'Sit down and we'll tell you. As Thal told you, we mean no harm.'
Thorenton: You shut up! Your a creep!
~Adriside's eyes tear up~
Thal: Adriside... he didn't mean...
~Adriside walks backwards heading to the door~
Thal: Adriside...
~Adriside opens the door and runs into the dark forest~
Thal: Wait!
~Thal turns to look at Thorenton. It was clear that she was mad~
Thal: How dare you call her a creep?! She is just a young girl! You should know better! You don't know how many names she's been called her entire life and now you call her a creep?! She was trying to calm you down!
