"Perfect." Terenia sighed in pleasure, she was in a natural hotspring that she had stumbled across on her trip through Dymaculus. She had looked around then undressed and gotten in, knots from days of travel fadeing into heat. FoxFire, her horse, was tethered nearby with her belongings near enough she would see anyone who tried to steal anything. Though she hoped no one came, the shame of the leader of the Yshin being caught naked out in the wilderness would be unbarable even if no one heard of it or knew it was her. She would not have done this at all if not that this was too good an oppertunity to miss out. She had been to hot springs before, in Harate there was one as well as a few other cities she had traveled, and knew how good it felt to have your troubles and pains boiled away in a manner of speaking. "Just perfect." Her soft, sweet, fresh voice said lightly.

A head of damp, blue-gray hair rose out of the water. "Isn't it, though?" asked the girl who followed it in a singsong voice. It was as dreamy and seemingly dazed as everything about her, including her purple eyes as she smiled at the woman. "Yes, they're much much warmer than my home waters. Not that I remember them, I was six at the time." This girl talked as if she started conversations and gave her life stories to naked strangers while they intruded on her dip in a hot springs every day. This former mermaid went by the name of Mathis, her last name being Bluetrace. Many who knew of her called her Mathis the Mer for her heritage. [/color]

"Wha!" Terenia jumped out of the water and then in embarresment got back down but reached for her clothes and but them on quickly getting them soaked. "Um, er, I'm sorry for itruding, I didn't realize you were there." She said embarresedly before her temper kicked in. "Just what were you doing hiding in the water like that? Trying to give me a heart attack! Some strange way of assasination or something? Who are you and why are you here!"

"I'm Mathis, Mathis the Mer," she said in a singsong way. "And this is my hot springs." Actually, they weren't hers at all. But the former mermaid always had thought it odd that upworlders thought they should own everything. Where she came from, no one owned land. Everyone lived in the same place, they simply shared what everyone needed. So, she still didn't quite get the idea of claiming land and property, and if anyone asked her why she was in a place, she was likely to answer that it was, in fact, hers. This added to the oddity of the young girl who wasn't truly human as she seemed.[/color]

"Yours huh?" Terenia said sceptiacally. "A mer owns a plot of land wich has some obviously seldom found or used hotsprings on it that is located in the Ebony Dragon's country? Girl you have to be the worst liar I've ever men and I've meet alot of liars. Well Mathis, I am Terenia Yshin Moke, current Clan leader of the Yshin Emon, a Koanan level magic user, Guardian of Yal, and Seeker of Zan." Terenia said proudly, she watched Mathis carefully to see how she would react to all that. It was more title than most of people had and impressed people who did not even have a clue what they meant.

Mathis looked at her with those dreamy purple eyes. "Well, Terenia Yshin Moke, current Clan leader of the Yshin Emon, a Koanan level magic user, Guardian of Yal, and Seeker of Zan, that's a very long name," she said simply. "I know it's mine. Could've sworn it was." She crawled out and wiped one wet hand dry on her shirt, taking up her notepad with it and scratching some picture. She mumbled something, the paper glowed, and a few seconds later a fluffy orange towel was in her hand. She wrapped it around her and let out a great yawn. "If you want one as well, I'd be glad to make it. It's very tiring work, but I need the practice. It'll get easier, they say."[/color]

"No thanks, I don't trust non-Emon magic." Terenia said bluntly. She was a little worried though learning the girl was a mage. She prepared her own magic, ready to take off into another realm if the girl tried anything. "And you can just call me Terenia if you want."

"Well, then, thank you Terenia. I might get a little fumbled up remembering all of those names." It was true. Mathis was known to be a little bit scatterbrained sometimes. That was alright, though. Because all mermaids were known to be a little bit ditzy, and even if she'd lost her underwater appendages and all other traits, she kept the age, she kept the silly air of dreaminess that hung around her constantly.[/color]

Terenia glanced at the girl, sizing her up. "Your strange you know that?" Terenia said bluntly then smiled. "But I suppose people would say I'm strange to. So Mathis what are you doing in Dymaculus? I am looking for Zan ofcourse but more than that I am just having fun visiting new places. Hey I don't suppose you would know where Zan might be?" This last question was rather an odd one to ask an outsider but Merpeople and Naiads would know more about the bottom of the ocean then even the Triwe so might know if Zan was on the bottom of the seas. How they would know it was Zan would be another matter entirely but it was worth asking.

"You know, I've heard that, but the mages at Rementhos don't find me the least bit odd, though they do call me the anomaly sometimes. And where I come from I don't remember being odd, but I was only a little merling at the time, see. I don't suppose I know this Zan you're talking about. Never met him. Is he nice?" She looked at Terenia with those dreamlike eyes, but almost seemed to be looking past her, as she often did.[/color]

"It's not a person, but I can't tell you anything about it since you are not Emon. And up here girlie your odd." Terenia said in her usual blunt manner, ignoring the dreaminess. Her old adoptive sister had been a dreamer, nearly destroyed the caravan with her inablity to concentrate during magic lesson which Terenia had always through hilarious, depite the fact that once her hair got caught in a portal and leanght was halved. Still it hd been funny to watch things suddenly disappear, and not even the whole thing mos of the time. So she didn't mind dreamers in the least, in fact she liked to stay with them for awhile and see what thing they would do by accident in the middle of a day dream.

"Oh, well, in that case... I suppose it's not so bad. Secrets are always fun. I don't remember much about the Nameless One except she's supposed to be my goddess and she's all about secrets but you know I never really did remember much about her and she doesn't seem to have any temples on the land that I know of." She babbled on as if everything she was talking about was so interesting, which was another thing to set people off. Sometimes she got off on such a tangent that you couldn't remember what in the world Mathis had been talking about in the first place. "Hey, you don't suppose her real name's Zan do you? I seem to recall no one knows it. Which is funny if you think. How would you feel if no one knew your name?" Not many people could simply sit down and talk to a random stranger like they were family or friends they hadn't seen in a while or something. She was never on her guard... and that was a frightening thought. Either she was incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.[/color]

"Nameless One? Oh I heard some about that goddess, it's best not to mention her at all. From what I hear she is not only goddess of secrets but also likes to be a secret. We Emon can travel to the god realms so we know about her but avoid mentioning her as much as we can when we pray. She is not Zan, Zan is not a concious thing as far as we know. Shoot I wasn't supposed to say that much! Well you need to forget everything I have told you about Zan and never mention it again. That or take the Friends Oath." Terenia was such a forgetful fool! They knew next to nothing about Zan but what they did know they were forbiddion to tell to non-Emon. She was such a blabber mouth!

"Oh, well, thanks for reminding me. I'd still love to meet this Zan guy. And if he's unconscious, I hope you find him soon. Elsewise he could be buzzard food." She really wasn't the best at listening. When people corrected Mathis, they did it once. Then they decided not to bother anymore. Way too much work.[/color]

"You really are a weirdo." Terenia said then started laughing heartidly. "So what are you doing here anyway?"
((Writer's Block, sorry))
