Chapter 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!
"Excuse me, but do you know where I could find Miss Daine Sarasri?" Emma asked for the tenth time today. She was beginning to get tired of this.
"Errrrr.. Yes. Right down that hallway, make a left, two rights, and go up a story. Then look for the plaque above the door that says "Numair Samalin and Daine Sarasri." The person said.
"Thank you so much!" Emma replied before starting off in the direction pointed to.
Daine's p.o.v.
Daine was finishing a birds wing, the poor thing had crashed into a window. Luckily it was still alive. Using her magic to slowly rebuild the hollow bones until, finally she was done.
"Phew! You messed yourself up proper! Make sure to stay away from windows from now on okay?"
The bird promised to keep out of trouble, and was soon out the window. Awkwardly flying on its newly mended wings. Thank goodness that's over. Now, I'm getting hungry. She made her way to the door through all the animals and magical devices (Numair's) and opened the door to a girl with startling green eyes, who was just about to knock on the door.
"umm.. can I help you?" Daine asked.
" Are you Daine Sarasri?" the girl said in a hopeful voice.
"Yes.." This was a bit confusing. The girl practically melted at her answer.
" Thank goodness! I've been looking all over for you! First I had to go to through the market and there were lots of people. Then I asked where your room was and nobody told me, just walked on by. And finally I found someone.. I babbling again! So sorry, I'm Emma, and Maura told me to find you before I did anything here in Corus." Emma said, then held her hand out.
"Hi, so why did you want to see me again?" Daine asked as she shook hands.
"Maura said that when I went to Corus the first thing I should do is talk to you. Not that that makes any sense." Emma replied.
"Who is Maura?" somehow the name seemed familiar.
"Lady Maura of Dunalth. She said she knew you from a couple of years back. Actually, she told me to tell you that she made friends with the wolves. Why, I do not know." Emma smiled.
"I remember now, how do you know her?" Daine asked . "Well, she was like a big sister to me, she is the one who taught me to read and write and such." Emma said thoughtfully.
"Are you hungry? I was just about to go get something to eat" Daine could hear her stomach protesting continuing the conversation here. So they walked to the mess hall to get something to eat while Daine caught up on the latest news from Dunlath.
Later that day....
Daine and Emma had finished their meal and were headed back to Daine's room.
"So Tate is your uncle?" Daine wanted to know (a/n: ever notice how much T.P. uses that?) "Well, not exactly, he sort of, found me in the forest, right after the battle. He looked for my parents, but he never found them. So he and Maura have been taking care of me ever since." Emma replied, just a little sad.
"Oh, I'm sorry, it must be hard for you." Daine started to have flashbacks of when she was all on her own.
"well, I have them to take care of me so it worked out well." Emma smiled.
"I forgot to ask you, why did you come to Corus in the first place. Hopefully not just for me."
"umm well, I have some. unusual magic, and I thought maybe I could learn about it in the Royal academy" She replied.
"Unusual magic?" Daine was hooked now.
" Yah, I have a, umm. knack for trees." Emma blushed. To Daine, this was getting a little freaky. "a knack?"
"Well, I.. Can talk to trees." Emma said hastily.
"Emma, you haven't ever, forgotten you're a human instead of a tree, right?"
"no, I haven't ever done that. Though trees tell me I am one all the time."
Okay, this just got freaky-er. Is that even a word? Oh well, she can talk to trees, doesn't know her parents, trees tell her she's not human. she sounds just like me! Now what? I think I'll just check her for wild magic.
"Daine? Are you okay? You spaced out on me there." Oh no, I hope she doesn't think I'm crazy, like everyone else. Emma thought, looking at Daine's strange expression.
"Oh! I'm fine. Could you stand there for a minute? I want to check something." Daine trailed off.
"Sure." Not good, not good. Emma was getting nervous.
Meanwhile, Daine was using her magic to look at Emma in a new light, so to speak. Sure enough, Emma had wild magic, but it was, green?
Suddenly Numair walked in, and looked at Daine and Emma. "Hello Daine, and who is this?" he asked.
"Numair this is Emma, Emma Numair." She introduced them then looked at Numair. "I was just wanting to talk to you. Emma, could you sit there for a minute?" Emma nodded while the other two went into another room.
**** yay! 3rd chappie done! Sorry it didn't come sooner, I had to yard work. c-ya later! Oh, and I'll update as soon as I can, I'm writing this as it goes. Any suggestions are welcome! Tootles!
