A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.

This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.

She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.

He looks around.

" - Imrainai?"

" - oh good. I mean, not good, just - I don't know what this is - "

"Well that makes two of us. How long have you been here?"

Permalink

"A few minutes. I don't know exactly."

Permalink

"Is there a note, or anything?"

Permalink

"Something on the table with the notebooks. I don't recognize the letters."

He examines it.

It's writing. It's not any of the languages he knows.

"Huh."

"I - really don't have any guesses."

"I have a couple but none of them explain why you're here. Unless there's something you shoulda mentioned."

"I appeared here, I looked around, I saw the note, I wandered around a little, you appeared."

"That's - not the kind of thing." He sighs. He shivers. "I guess we sit here and wait for them to tell us what they want."

"I guess."

She sits down in the grass under one of the trees.

And after a few more minutes, a crying woman holding a baby appears. She turns around, alarmed. 

" - what - "

"Hi. ...let me guess, snatched randomly going about your business?"

Permalink

"I - yes."

Permalink

"Where're you from?"

Permalink

- okay, this is good, a few questions are good. If they're fairies. They don't look it. 

"I - England, originally. A moment ago I was in fairyland."

Permalink

" - is that even a place?"

Permalink

"Some places call the First Plane that. - you're human?"

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"Living with the fae?"

Permalink

"Yes. I was - I found one in a fairy ring and he took me back home with him."

Permalink

"Ah."
