Part 11
Eirika walked right up to the water of the Moonwell in Stormwind city and stared at the crisp, clean water. It almost seemed like the water was translucent, or like it was not really there. there eminated from the well a light, the light She reached out to touch it, hesitated, and then plunged her hands in to scoop up a handful of water.
Instead of running out of her hands, like normal water would, it formed a bubble, and conformed to the creases in her palms. The "water" if that is what you could call it, gave off a golden color, as if was illuminated from within by some form of magic, though Eirika couldn't feel any magic emanating from the water, or the well.
"Amazing, isn't it? Water from ancient well at the ancient well of eternity." Said a voice behind her.
Eirika jumped, as she was so deep in concentration that she didn't notice anyone walk up to her.
"The well used to be where the Maelstrom is now, when the continents were in a single land mass. The well of the Eternity was at the center of this great land mass. Ancient magic was emitted from the well and the primitive Night Elves created homes, cities, and temples on the shore of this vast lake, and learned to use the magical energies of the well. But a horrible mistake drew the Burning Legion to this world." Quescent said.
"The Night elves had one choice, to destroy the well of Eternity or their world would be destroyed, what most of the other Night elves didn't know was that the druid Malfurion Stormrage stored some of that magical water in phials he had made that blocked the magic energies from escaping into the world, he then used the water to form these Moonwells." Quiescent continued explaining.
"But why are you just standing there holding the water? Drink"
It was then that Eirika realized she had been just standing there holding the water this whole time, she cautiously put the bubble of water to her lips, and drank. The sensation was only one she would be able to describe as "dinking pure light". She was suddenly aware of so many things she hadn't noticed before, her vision was sharper, her hearing was sharper, and her reflexes had increased.
Producing about ten phials out of his pack, Quescent began filling the phials with water from the well. After he had filled all of them he placed the full phials in a leather pouch and handed it to Eirika, saying in the process "this is your fight, not mine, you must use these as best you can."
"Well, I think we best be on our way." Said Que.
"Yes, let's go." Eirika replied. All the while wondering what would lie ahead.
