I do not own Riviera nor any of it's characters (obviously excluding Cecilia and Katrina)

--Fia--

Fia paced the kitchen of her house restlessly waiting for Cecilia to wake up. At Tetyth the group ran into into the Archangel and after fighting her Cecilia's wings fell off, Mnemosyne dissapeared and it seems as if Cecilia has lost her angelic powers.

Finally Cecilia started to stir and sat upright .

"Are you ok" Fia shouted. Hearing her shouts for joy Ein and co. came into the room. Lina ran up jumping up and down to Cecilia.

"You're awake, You're awake, You're awake, You're awake, You're awake."

"At least let her get up first before you start smothering her." Serene commented.

Cecilia got up looking dazed she felt her back probably hoping her wing's were still there but of course they weren't causeing her to look very sad. Everyone grew silent as they saw the heartbroken look on her face when she fully realized she had no wings. Cecilia stood up.

"Mnemosyne come" she said, but nothing appeared. "Mnemosyne" she cried out, "MNEMOSYNE" she yelled despretly trying to get her diviner to answer her but it wouldn't come which proved it, she wasn't a Grim Angel anymore. She looked at everyone.

"I guess i'll have to adjust to life without my powers" she said sullenly.

Fia searched for the right thing to say here and decided maybe to get Cecilia to help the villagers to make her feel like she's still useful.

"Well if you'd like you can help me with the laundry at Undine Spring." Cecilia looked over at her putting a sad smile on her face.

"Well alright" she said. So the two of them set out for Undine Spring.

Once they arrived at Undine Spring Fia explained basically what they were doing to Cecilia.

"So we dip the clothes in the spring" Cecilia said putting one of Fia's dresses in the water. "Take it out, fold it and put it on the line to dry." Cecilia finished.

"Yes" Fia said as she finished folding one of Ein's shirts. After finishing a few she looked over to see how Cecilia was doing only to find that she was still holding the same dress twisting it backwards, forwards and all kinds of different ways trying to figure it out. So Fia came over and helped her.

"Like this" Fia said, she folded the sleeves inward, folded the top into the skirt and placed it on the line. Cecilia nodded her head trying to understand.

"I'm sorry Fia, but i've never done this because my angelic powers cleansed my body and clothes of impurities usually so i've never had to do any of this." Cecilia said sadly.

"It's ok" Fia said.

"Is there anything easier i can do for you so that i'm not a bother" Cecilia asked.

"Um well Cierra said she needed some help with a potion she's brewing so maybe you can help with that." Fia said, So Cecilia thanked her and walked off towards the Crystal Caverns to help Cierra at the magic guild.

Fia looked on sadly, she knew that losing her powers must have been a blow although Ein and everyone still didn't know what caused the sudden power loss Fia hoped that Cecilia was going to be ok.

--Cecilia--

When Cecilia arrived at the Crystal Caverns Cierra was working at some kind of cauldron and she invited her over, which is when Cecilia told her about the potion she was brewing.

"This potion is actually supposed to have special healing qualities that can cure almost anything, maybe even your loss of power." Cierra explained

Cecilia perked up at the thought of her powers being returned. "Alright get me some Wildweed off the shelf" She pointed at the jar on the shelf which Cecilia grabbed and brought over to her.

"Ok now put about a quant in the pot, or is that a quart... oh well we'll find out soon" Cierra gigled.

Cecilia didn't even start to think about what the heck a quant was all she heard was that it could heal her powers and so she just poured the whole jar in. The brew started to foam and a wierd gas started to come out of it filling the room.

Cecilia started to feel a little wierd and put her hand to her hand and felt something wierder... Cat Ears!

"Oh no it's CatPho Gas" Cierra remarked, Cecilia noticed that she also had cat ears and a matching tail coming from her as well. Cierra thanked her for her help but told her that perhaps she should help Lina gather some some fruit from the Grove of Repose.

Cecilia, only slightly discouraged from her slight mishap with Cierra decided to help Lina who was very happy to bring her along.

"Alrighty all we have to do is bring the apricots down from the tree" Lina said, Cecilia walked over to the tree and put her hand to it to start shaking the apricots down but images started to flow through her head.

The images depicted little Cecilia, and Little Fia sitting around the tree eating apricots with Katrina, they heard a voice calling Fia inside "Well its been a great day you two" Fia started wlaking off, "Wait we have to send Katrina home" Little Cecilia said "Oh yeah, you remember the chant" Little Fia said, "Of course, Little Cecilia said as they took opposite sides of Katrina. "Well i'll see you tommorow then" Katrina said. "Yep" the girls replied as the images faded from Cecilia's mind.

"You Ok Cecilia" Lina asked. "Yeah" Cecilia remarked.

In truth she was more than ok she realized what caused her sudden power loss because when she saw the images she began feeling weak... Because her memories were returning her powers were going away which means that if she satyed away from everyone then her memories should fade and her powers return but that meant she would have to say goodbye to Fia and everyone forever.

--Fia--

When Fia came home from her errands for the day she saw Cecilia at the door preparing to leave.

"Where are you..." Fia started.

"I'm sorry that i've been a burden to you and the others, but i've really enjoyed my time here, however it's because i'm around all of you that my memories are returning and my powers are leaving me" Cecilia started, Fia realized that it meant she would be leaving them for good.

"But you can't just..." Fia began but Cecilia walked up and kissed her.

After she broke the kiss Fia just stood there stunned so Cecilia finished.

"I love you Fia and i'll miss you" Cecilia said as she walked off into the night leaving a stunned, confused and sad Fia in her wake.
