Emaria blinked and tried to get her breathing and heart rate to calm down.
"Runaway fear leads to runaway magic."
The fairy almost rolled her eyes. Of course, when she was panicking was when her mother's lessons would recite themselves in her head. "Yeah, uh, no. I'm good," she said skeptically, studying the lizard-like person for a moment. Emaria could feel fear and confusion radiating from the other being, thanks to her empathetic abilities. Then another sort of feeling occurred to her. "Wait… are you hungover?" she asked bluntly.
erie lowers her frills "yeah majorly, so stop yelling. and you didn't answer my first question." she said not realising her mistake 'yessssh she is crazy, but i bet i could still take her in a fight.' she thought completely forgetting her fear just moments before, "wait what and who are you?" she says again not releasing she went back to goblin.
"What first question? I answered both of your questions, what are you talking about?" Emaria demanded though she did lower her voice. She was familiar with the effects of a hangover. Getting drunk was ridiculously fun, but the consequences were always a bitch. "Oh my gods," the fairy muttered as she rolled her eyes. "What the hell kind of language is that? I can't understand you."
"huh?" she says in common, then suddenly realizes what happened, "oh whoops, i ask if you knew where this place is, and the second time who you were. i was speaking goblin."
Emaria was even more confused by the lizard's questions. "Uh, yeah, I know where this place is. You don't?" she asked, still taking in the appearance of the other being. "Where the hell are you even from? Why are you here? How'd you get here if you don't know where you are? And why are you so hungover? Were you at a rager?"
her frills start to rise again "shut up you crazy weirdo. I'm from down south, probably. i don;t know why i'm here, or how. and i won a drinking contest with… i think dwarfs or three annoying fairies… or maybe annoying birds. Wait, do talking and drinking birds exist? and i still have to figure out what happened after i stole the hat. and i have to find the hats."
Emaria's gaze narrowed into a glare. "I'm not crazy," she snapped before trying to figure out where exactly this person was from. "Eraklyon?" she asked, thinking of the only southern realm that was remotely close to Solaria and within… walking distance? Had this lizard walked here, drunk, all the way from Eraklyon? "No, they don't," she answered pointedly. "What hat?"
"Eraklyon? i've never heard of that, i mean i was born down south. and i'm pretty sure i saw an asshole bird yesterday, but i guess they're all assholes. and there were… i think five hats." she says "oh. OH NO! the asshole bird took the hats! ok so after the bird, i think there was some sort of race. i won. and that's hours of my life i'll never get back. worth it though." she says with a smile "and you're in the drunk person woods because?"
Emaria wrinkled her nose with confusion. "You've never heard of Eraklyon?" she asked skeptically. "Are you even from the Otherworld? I mean, I've been drunk before, but I'm not right now." She winced at her own words. "Shit. If you ever meet my parents, please don't tell them that. They don't know I party. I digress… I'm out here because I need space." She paused a moment, then added. "From my mom."
"huh. so where'd you come from, 'cause i've got orient myself before i leave." she says looking around, almost expecting them to jump out of a tree all of a sudden.
Emaria sighed. She could see where this was going. This lizard person was going to want Emaria to take her back to Alfea. Then her mother would know she'd be out past the barrier, then Emaria would get reamed out by her parents until curfew.
She sighed reluctantly and turned back toward Alfea's campus, making a lazy hand signal that the lizard should follow her. "Come on, I'm sure my mom can help with whatever you need help with. Where are you from anyway, if you're not from the Otherworld?"
(btw i don't really know what this place\world looks like)
(Sorry 😅 So this is Alfea College, and most of the surrounding area is somewhat-densely wooded. And here's a picture of a globe that can show the relationship between Solaria (the realm they're currently in) and Eraklyon)
(wait u can teleport between worlds right)
(Emaria? No, she can't. She needs to use a gateway ring to travel between worlds.)
(sry, i mean for my character)
(Ngl I think that would be a bit much)
(k, 'cause im not quite sure how to put my character in this universe)
(Maybe someone else with teleporting powers sent her?)
(if your character had the powers, I feel like that would be too easy 😅)
(yeah i could work with someone did it)
(awesomesauce 👍🏻 It's your go)
