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!
