Damned Woods

Aquaria remained silent, though a million questions were running through her head. She obediently remained with Cassandra.  

[Cecily D Aria]

The room was dimly with some sort of red light. There was a pot in the middle over what appeared to be a fire pit. The room was lined with many shelves with plants and jars of who-knows-what on they.
"Sit here," Cassandra said and lead Aquaria to a bench infront of the pot.

"Will it hurt?" Aquaria asked, sitting obediently, though she was scared.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"You might pass out, but I don't think it will be painful," cassandra replied, looking around for something.
garin stood behind Aquaria and gently put his hands on her shoulders.

Aquaria reached up and put her hands on top of Garin's. She wanted this to be over, already.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Cassandra came back with a jar. She dipped her fingers in it and then drew a line on Aquaria's forehead.

Aquaria sat still as Cassandra began to work. She wanted to ask what was going on, but stayed perfectly silent.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Cassandra wiped her hands off and lit the fire under the pot. A fragrent steam filled the room. It would have made Aquaria feel little headed.

Aquaria began to feel a little strange, but pulled together her strength to stay conscious for as long as she could.

Aquaria reached out, unsure if she should take the necklace or not. The odors from the pot were starting to drive her crazy, and what was with that language? Aquaria had never heard it before.  

[Cecily D Aria]

The necklace started to glow as Cassandra continued to chant. It began to pull Sanvi out of Aquaria's mind and seal her within itself.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi screamed in pain and terror as she was sealed inside the necklace. "No, please, please don't!" she pleaded.
Aquaria felt part of her mind being pulled away and saw her vision flip. She thought she saw a girl with long black hair, pale skin, and a white dress for a moment.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin hugged Aquaria from behind and tried to comfort her.
Cassandra continued to chant util the spell was complete.  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria fell limply backwards into Garin's arms as Cassandra finished. She wondered what had happened to Sanvi, and if the girl was all right. She thought she had heard screaming...
