"I guess Eri really is that happy to have a daughter. I mean what mother wouldn't? I wonder how 'Lieza' will adjust to her home while like this! By the way whatever happened to Grenseal? Will there be a new character in this story? What about the Harmonians? How far away are they from Ansendale? What lies in store for Lieza?" Elle questioned as she turned the page to the next chapter.
"Chapter Five: The New Feelings."
"Sweetie, hurry up we need to go to Mr. Kima's!" Eri yelled up the stairs.
"I'm not going! I look ridiculous!" Lieza yelled back.
"No you don't... You look like a beautiful young woman!" Eri replied.
"Exactly, I am a boy remember!!" screamed Lieza.
"Not when I last checked! Now get down here, and let's go!!" Eri stated.
Lieza grumbled and walked down the stairs. She wore a beautiful silk light green dress with symbols of stars on it. Her mother forced her to wear a medieval style green colored heeled set of shoes. "I feel so strange..."
"Awh shush you look great!" exclaimed Eri.
"Please... let's just go... I feel so girly right now..." Lieza commented.
"Ha-ha... alright sweetie we can go, but after Mr. Kima's we need to go shopping for food. I forgot to go yesterday." Eri said as she hugged Lieza, and then began walking out the door.
"Ugh... This is going to be a long day..." Lieza thought to herself.
Both women walked slowly throughout the city heading directly toward Mr. Kima's workshop. People along the way would stare at Lieza, and some would even stop the two to question Eri on whom this girl is. Eri would simply reply that she was the daughter that was missing for many years in her life. The people were happy with the answer, but some were even more interested than others. Many of the young men in the city would go ahead and compliment Lieza on her looks, and some even asked her out. Lieza was beet red by the time they reached Mr. Kima's shop.
"Mom... that was SO embarrassing... "Lieza said quietly looking around. Some of the people in town were still staring at her.
"That's okay, sweetie, I'd get used to it if I were you..."Eri stated calmly.
"I think that will be the biggest challenge... I mean I can't believe that I'm even saying this! How have I even come to walk in these things!? This rune must be changing me while I don't know it! This is the only thing I can think of!" Lieza said to her mother.
"It could be... Or you just WANT to accept your new change, and you want to know more about this change..." Eri told her daughter.
"T-That's ridiculous! How could you even think that I would want that?" Lieza yelled.
Eri giggled at her daughter's reaction and stepped inside the shop. "Kima Trimbur! How are you doing today?" she asked.
"Why Eri, it must have been years, last I saw of you, you were just a young lass that came up to about yae high on my knee... ah... Good times I say... Good times..." Mr. Kima exclaimed with joy.
"Oh Kima, you know I saw you a few days ago, stop playing around." Eri said as she laughed.
"Right, right, well how can I help you?" he said smiling.
"Well, I need you to make some clothes for my daughter here..." Eri stated.
"Please make sure most of them are meant for adventuring... I don't want to be in the house all day... "Lieza added with a smile.
"Will do young lady... Now Eri please tell me I never knew you had a daughter... she is very beautiful... she looks just like you, but with her father's hair." Mr. Kima said as he took the measurements from Eri.
"Well she disappeared for many years, and we couldn't find her after much searching... but just yesterday she walked into town..." Eri lied.
Mr. Kima nodded and told them that with all his new workers the clothes should take about a week to complete. Eri and Lieza left and went back to their duties for the day... Shopping....
