Daine had been drifting in and out of consciousness. Once she had woken up entirely, and cleared her brain of the cobwebs inside, she looked around. She was in a luxuriously decorated room with soft lavender hues all around. The canopy over the soft purple bed she was in was made of silk. Daine sighed. If she were interested in this sort of thing, it would be paradise. But she wasn't a prissy girl, and she wanted to know where she was. She looked into herself to pull out her Wild Magic, but it wasn't there! Instead she found a colorful, swirling mass of foreign magic, one that pulsed with different colors, making her sick to feel it.
She jerked out of her insides hastily. She didn't like what she saw at all. Her Wild Magic was gone, replaces by a purple corrupted Gift. She had no idea where Numair was, or who her captors were.
A mosquito buzzed around her cheek. She slapped it hard, squashing it with her fingertips. Horrified, she tried to heal it, only to fry it with purple, swirling, multi-colored fire. The mosquito was gone and Daine's palm was burnt, the red-and-black skin swirling with the evil colors of the Gift inside her. She needed to get it under cold water, and fast. She saw a violet porcelain washbasin in the corner of the room. As she was washing her swollen hand in the cool water, she looked into the mirror above it. Horrified, she knocked the basin off the stand, sending it crashing to the floor. The sound that followed was atrocious. A housemaid scurried in.
"Magdalene!" she gasped. "That was your late mother's good porcelain, Black God rest her soul. " "Who is Magdalene?" Daine was confused. "M'lady, YOU are Magdalene of Dansburry, and your father won't have you lying to cover up this accident. Own up to it, if your lady doesn't mind my boldness as to say something like that to a lady of your rank. From a lady of my rank its really not proper an' all but I feel that you need some bringin' up an' all with your father bein' away all the time....."
Daine cut her off short. "Silence!" she roared. "I have no need to be raised. I am SIXTEEN years old. My name is Dai....." She stopped herself, for the maid had frozen, her mouth and eyes open wide and bugged out.
Another shimmering light appeared. The Goddess stepped out of the mist. The jewels on Daine pulsed in and out. Her heart beat louder and louder. The Goddess opened her arms, as if to hug Daine, but instead a flash of swirling color enveloped Daine, and she fainted. The last thing that she remembered before she blacked out was the sound of the maid screaming over her.
