The face with copper hair flung around and emerald eyes. The face from before. but wait, the description sounded familiar. it was so simple and yet. so complicated.

"Witchcraft? Well, that is one of the most understated word I've ever heard describe this. it's not witchcraft, it's the Gift. and If I do say so myself a pretty adequate spell. the countenance has no flaw, it leaves a brilliant flare, not to mention this is across the barrier.." The words of the stork man shocked me back to reality, the drone of his voice was making me fall asleep, but I was forcing myself to stay awake. I had to clue this together.

"Uh. Numair, you can stop now" Said the flame haired maiden.

"Nu-N-Numair?" this was getting too weird.. "B-b-but that means your-y-your Alanna" I exclaimed

The woman nodded and my eyes widened. "Y-You mean your r-real? It's not just a story?"

I never got an answer. I heard Numair yell "Alanna the spell's breaking we need to save our strength to get the barrier crossed.we..." ripples broke across the surface of the water and the faces disappeared along with the dark purple glimmer. Suddenly I felt a jerk in my stomach, and my head started to spin. My neck started to feel weak and my head heavy. I could hardly hold my head up. and then everything was black

I awoke to a blinding migraine. My head pounded every time I tried to get up. I tried to open my eyes but it felt as if 10-pound weights had been placed on them. Stubbornness welled up and I opened them a crack, and let the light in. The migraine being sensitive to light I had to shield my eyes, wanting to see where I was. IT looked different. There were small houses everywhere, it looked. almost. medieval, but I was probably just delusional from the fall. Or at least I thought I fell, it felt like I had fallen a far distance, and it seemed as if every bone in my body was broken. I tried to get up again, but I was too exhausted. Finally I gave up, there was no use killing myself. I hit my head with my fist, but even that tiny movement exhausted me. It felt as if every ounce of energy I once held had been drained from me. After that, everything was black.

When I finally awoke I was back next to the fountain. I felt a small amount of blood trickle past my ear. Carefully I reached up and touched where the cut was. It wasn't real bad, but where it came from I didn't know. But surprisingly I could move, without killing myself. Yet, I was still tired. Struggling to my feet I managed to push myself up and walk towards the girls bunks. I bandaged the cut on my head, realizing it was worse than I thought, and managed to climb up to the top of my bunk, where I drifted into a not-so-peaceful sleep.

A/N I warned you! It's the shortest chapter ever. Bwhahahahaha! But anyways, a new one will be up soon, it'll probably be just as short. maybe a little longer.. I wanted to put up more in this story but I couldn't I thought it would be better just to stop it here. Constructive criticism is appreciated! And just to warn you, I'm changing summaries. and titles, the old ones. well. just don't fit the new plot I've constructed. But don't worry I'm still straying as far as possible from the "Land of the Evil Mary Sues" so please keep reading. ~takes out a little gold pocket watch thingy~ You must review.. I only got 1 last time. shame on you all!!!! Another reason to change stuff. so people will read. go review: Do it now. go!

The review by the Eve of Mirkwood (galadriel greenleaf) was much appreciated!
