Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Rystil Arden]

*As she enters the room, she sees a man that she can barely recognise from her childhood from his ruby-coloured hair, although it is now a dull and listless ruddy colour. She immediately notices that he is missing his right arm, as well as two fingers from his left hand and his right eye, and there are terrible scars over the remaining flesh that are reminiscent of bite-marks from incessant gnawing. His one blue eye still shines with the light of Arris, but it is wide and wild, glancing back and forth with a manic speed and then settling on Vasha, causing it to widen even more, in abject terror, as he begins to shake all over his body and hobbles away as quickly as possible with his arm in front of him like a shield as he trembles, as if seeing a ghost:*

"Ashana--no! I...I...I'm sorry--I'm sorry! I didn't mean...Please, leave me alone--leave ME ALONE!" his screams trail off in a terrified whimper.

"It's Vasha, Gralas." she says in a soothing voice. "Marrik and Ashana's daughter. I've come to talk to you Gralas."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No...Marrik...no...I'm sorry--I'm sorry! Stay away...All you ghosts please, just go away!"

Vasha waves Bertram to stay back, and then casts a spell. With the spell, she colors her hair the origional ruby red it was as a child.

"I'm not a ghost Gralas, it's me, Vasha. I used to call you uncle, did I not?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Vasha? Little Vasha? NOO!!! I'm so sorry...Such a sweet little girl...Why did they have to...No! Vasha...You had so much to live for..."

 

[Bront]

Vasha walks forward carefully and offers Gralas her hand "Touch me. I'm real, I'm here and safe. So is my mother."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No, don't lie to me, spirit! The oasis...They..."

 

[Bront]

"Yes, they killed my father, but we escaped." She grabs his hand and holds it softly, putting her other hand in his. "See? I'm here. Even Puddles is here."

Puddles, never forgetting the old Valsian, walks fowards upon hearing his name. "See, he's grown with time, as have I, but I am truely alive."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Escaped?...Puddles?...Oh Vasha, I'm so glad," he reaches out to give her a one-armed hug before he begins to cry again, "I'm so sorry, Vasha...So sorry..."

(OOC: The old Mojiin? Don't you mean Valsian? Gralas is a Valsian--hence the hair )

Vasha hugs him back "Mother was connected to Arris nearly as strongly as my dad, perhaps more so, so she knew something was wrong and we fled just in time." She lets her hair change back to it's now natural color. "I've taken after both my mom and my dad, and can feel Arris's love much stronger than I could before."

She smiles at Gralas "It's so good to see you alive. I was begining to loose hope." She motions back towards the door for Bertram to enter. "This is my friend Bertram. He helped me find you."
