'She's waking' thought the women lurking in the shadows 'But when shall I reveal myself?'

At that moment a man of many years clad in robes of white, with a full beard stumbled upon Olphia. He remained Composed, his face not showing a trace of the shock he felt. "wake up girl." said he shaking her lightly, he noted her strange attire. Olphia stretched and opened her eyes, taking in the strange scenery.
"Well now that's ---"the robed man started to say but was cut off abruptly by Olphia's shriek. "Who-a-are- you-u?" She stuttered, gaining confidence she demanded "where have you taken me? Who are you?"
The man chuckled "I've not Taken you anywhere all I did was find you" he reached a hand out to help her up. Olphia took his hand and pulled herself on to her feet, standing she began once again to question him. He held his hand up to silence her, clearing his throat in a stately manner. "All questions will be answered in time, but a name I can give...my name is Morphis." Here he paused "And praytell, what's yours?" .Olphia smiled at him saying too the kind old man, Morphis "I'm Olphia. I just don't understand how I ever got to be here.".
The question was answered with a discontented sigh and the words "ahhhh another question I cannot possibly answer.". Morphis started to walk down the dusty dirt road toward the humble village of salamari, he stopped and called to Olphia "Well my dearest Olphia, are you coming?". Olphia ran too meet him, and once again he began to walk, this time with Olphia trotting at his side. They walked the whole length in silence.
"First too errm... get you some proper attire." He said slowing, his eyebrow cocked slightly as they walked into the dress shop. "Pick out an outfit...any outfit. Dress, cape and..."He looked at her bare feet then said bluntly "shoes.". Olphia shook her head 'no' but Morphis continually shook his head 'yes' until she'd picked out a blue frock, with a matching cape , the dress had a chocolate colored bodice trimmed in gold, it matched the shoes she had picked out. Morphis paid for the outfit, and they left Olphia getting use to the shoes. Morphis looked Olphia in the eyes and said "We're going to the mythical creature market...shady characters there...so be on your awares!". They turned into a street lined with cages.
