Chapter 8

Teldasill awakens three days later with no pain at all. She feels for her
necklace once again, with the realization she has lost contact with her
father. She is overcome with discomfort though.. itching, heat, and a slight
pinching feeling. Her body is still grotesque but is scentless, it has a
ripped and mutilated texture yet feels smooth. She is completely astounded by
this concoction that has saved her life, but she realizes she will never grow
and be like this forever.. and is somewhat distraught.

Nienna is summoned to her, to talk to her clear headed child.. They speak
some time, about the future, about the Ragers knowing of the Jewel, but
mostly of Nienna's love and thankfulness for still breathing daughter. Nienna
was in no way ashamed of her child, but knew she must do the only thing left
to fix her appearance. "Telda.. you turned ten years old during your rest.. I
believe it is time to begin your schooling." said Nienna. "You have the
choice of your path, I am merely here to set you in the right direction..".
Teldasill nods solemnly and replies.. "I wish to be like you Mother.. I do
not enjoy these feelings, turning into those beasts could stop them. And I
shall avenge my father, for they have killed him twice now.." Nienna was
pleased Teldasill had made the decision alone and nodded to her daughter.
"Rest then child, you can begin your studies tomorrow, you will gain much
knowledge before you are able to leave my wing..."
