[Gil'dae Cheb] Enelya's Awakening (Open to all in the Gil'dae Family)

[Enelya Elsdragon]

Era II of the Celstine Mandate
Era XIV Post Fractum
20th Candlemark in the Darkening of Thera, Fifth Cycle

Suddenly everything went dark, with the taste of dirt in her mouth. She hears a scream, and realizes it's coming from her own mouth. The excruciating pain and burning sensation in her back got worse, then started to fade away as she lost consciousness...

That was the last thing Enelya remembered when she began to awaken in the home where she and her mother stayed in the Gil'dae estates. A tingling sensation in her back, induced from the memory, began to dissipate as she opened her eyes. Enelya found herself in a bed looking at an ornate ceiling with carvings and the muffled sound of servant calling out for a Lady Elsdragon. Lady Elsdragon? So she was home then, in her own luxurious bed. What had happened? Was she all right?

She tried to sit up, was able to do so but with a massive headache erupting. The servant, whom she didn't recognize, looked enthused as she set pillows up to let Enelya sit up straight. She looked around the room and recognized it perfectly, it hadn't changed a bit. A few moments later another woman entered the room, it a took a moment for Enelya but she soon realized it was her mother.

"Arwenamin! Mother! How long have I been out? And please no lecture I've learned my lesson about going to close to the-"

Enelya began in elvish but immediately stopped talking when Silmarwen started crying and hugged her daughter. The young elf was confused, it couldn't have been that serious, she had only fainted, or did she? Enelya patted her mother's back, it wasn't like Silmarwen to be so informal. She began to speak again when her mother let go but Silmarwen spoke instead.

"My daughter, we thought you were dead. We were going to convene a meeting about you soon whether or not to keep you in such a state." She sniffed and wiped away a tear. "You have been unconscious for about an Era, Enelya." The servant beside them both nodded vigorously at that statement.

"That can't be true, it was as though it happened yester-"

"No! It has been an Era since you were found by the Blackbarch, in a coma. We had a healer come look at you and he said it was a curse. He tried to lift it, but could not, saying to wait it out. I was afraid you were dead. I told Keldon nothing, please don't be mad but he thinks you are dead."

At that moment Enelya got very angry at her mother for leaving her brother uninformed, but held her tongue for her back began to hurt again. Why was it hurting it so? Was it where the curse had hit her? So many thoughts were swimming through her head it was hard to understand it all. Enelya took a deep breath and asked her mother about what she had missed about the world. She refused to wash up until she knew everything about what had happened.

Silmarwen began by telling her that conflicts in Paxia and Narim were now over, and ended with the new predicament about the new constellations in the sky. When Enelya asked about her brother, Keldon, Silmarwen only knew that last she heard he was in Primus Gaudeo. With that, Silmarwen left the room to tell those in the house and in the estate that Enelya had awaken. Enelya asked the servant to get a hot bath for her started and once it was ready to help her to the bathroom.

(OOC: Open to anyone in the Gil'dae homes/estates at this time. It's okay if noone responds this is just a thread needed for Enelya to back into Aller- woops I mean Aelyria... lol.)

The servant left to go prepare her a bath while Enelya let the facts sink in. One, she was home, safe and sound. Two, she was attacked by the Blackbarch and in a Coma for an era. Last but not least she needed to contact to her brother. In a quick decision she decided she would stay home for a few cycles before heading off to Primus Gaudeo to search for her brother. Enelya hoped he was still there and was not sent off somewhere else because of his Imperial position. She looked down at her slender hands and then to the room around her when the servant returned. The servant had a bathrobe in her arms for Enelya. She placed it on the edge of the bed and helped Enelya out of the sheets and onto the floor. The servant than held up the bathrobe for her and closed her eyes.

With much difficulty Enelya undressed and put the bathrobe on. She found that the more she was up and about the better she was getting, but her back would hurt after certain exercises. The servant led her to the bathroom next door and as soon as Enelya entered the room her nose was filled with the sweet smell of rose water.

"Kwara sina ten'amin. San'lle aa'kela."* She said to the servant and handed the bathrobe to her not caring for her nudity, a good servant knows when to look away. Enelya recalls that this particular servant was excellent. She carefully stepped into the bathtub and she winced slightly from the hot water while the servant left the room. Enelya sunk into the rose water with a smile on her face. The warm water felt good for her sore body.

(*Take this for me. Then you may go. - very broken, I'm not that great at elvish.)

Enelya sat in the tub wallowing in her thoughts. She washed her hair thoroughly and scrubbed her body till it was slightly red. She felt dirty for no reason, she was pretty sure that the servant must of washed her when she was out, but something else made her feel unclean. The problem was she couldn't lay a finger on what it was. Maybe it was residual magic from the curse? As soon as she thought that a shot of pain went down her back and she arched it in pain. A slight yelp escaped her lips and she placed a hand on her back for the first time, feeling scar tissue on her back.

Scar tissue? Why didn't it heal correctly? Was it a scar from the spell? Enelya didn't know, but was worried that it wasn't a very pretty sight. She finished up washing and got out of the tub with ease. Enelya surprised herself, it seemed that her stiffness was dissipating fast. Hopefully with some exercises it would go away completely. Enelya drained the water from the tub and looked at herself in the looking glass. In the front she looked the same, her hair in the same style it was last era, she didn't look any older nor did she feel any older. Though one era for an elf wouldn't change their physique, it was still a little odd for her.

Now it was time to look at her back. With a deep, shaky breath Enelya turned around to look at her back side. Her head was turned to the right over her shoulder to see and she grimaced slightly from the sight. She was flawless except for one spot on her lower back. An odd shaped spherical scar resided there, with tissue creeping a bit outward from it. It looked like a fireball burn that you would find on a human that didn't have the healing abilities an elf had, but she wasn't human. Enelya touched it and found the scar smoother like a baby's skin, yet bumpy because of how scar tissue acted and knotted together.

She was upset that such a side effect had occurred from the curse casted upon her, but realized that it added character. It would also a make a great story. Enelya dried herself off and put the robe back on. She opened the door and found the servant was still there. Enelya wasn't one for using the servants very often so she dismissed him and headed back to her room.

Even though it seemed like she had only slept for a day, her body somehow had longed for the halls of the house and she was happy to see the ornate elven architecture as she walked gracefully back to her room.

-End-

(I'm closing this thread, It was really only needed for Enelya back into the game.)
