Ég elska pig, Tóra
Tóra gasped as she immediately was awakened by the strange vision that had just occurred.
She stumbled to the clear pools and painted the clear substance onto her clamming visage.
Her eyes met the familiar face in the water.
What is it he sees that I do not ,she asked herself.
"Hello Blasses Gesicht." A voice appeared. A voice Tóra came to be familiar with.
"Feuer Haar." Tóra replied.
"What are you doing up?" Ila asked as she kneeled before the water.
"Vision."
"Oh? What occurred in this vision?" Tóra glared at the German.
"I may have agreed to forgive you for our quarrel and allowed you to come on our mission, but this does not make us acquaintances." Tóra growled.
Ila sighed as she settled herself on the damp soil.
"I know I have been unfair to you, and I can understand if you choose to not make an allowance. I shall be truthful, you remind me of a girl from a fantasy my mother would set forth before I succumbed to sleep."
"Are you trying to persuade me into appreciating you?"
"No, this is truth. The girl from the fantasy was the mother of my mother's mother. She was a fierce warrior, very witty and intelligent. Hearing of her adventures have persuaded me to be like her, a Schild Mädchen."
Tóra saw the truth in Ila's eyes. She witnessed her passion. And since the day she met her, Tóra finally felt like she trusted the girl.
"You shall make an adventurous maiden." Tóra breathed.
"Thank you. You are an audacious maiden." Ila smiled.
Tóra's eyes found their way back to the water. Was she as brave as other depicted her, or was this a trick?
