This is the lamp that was found be heather when wandering. She became incredibly attached to it and clung to it, taking it with her where ever she went.It ended up with a never ending glow that confused the poor girl to no end.
Animal: Canary
After Val sending her to borrow gifts from others Val gave a little of her own blood and Amkia arrived as a canary. He is adorable and Heather couldn't get over how amazing he looked. Love at first sight!
Amkia was always wandering about in his canary stage but he never strayed too far. He always loved everyone and would sing happily to himself.
Darkling Infant: Baby!
Now, this was a shock to the system! Heather had to go and fetch some gold from the mines and when she returned amkias beak touched it, and, he turned into an angel! He is beautiful and amazing, loving and wow!
Amkia as an angel seems to become brighter, or darker depending on his mood. He always seemed to be really bright untill Heather got a necklace from a trader, she doesn't understand what is wrong with him!
Child of Light Image
As a Child Amkia was most weary of the leopard that happened to be his sister. He was also used as a puppet to hurt Vanna's mother and so he became ashamed of himself and rather withdrawn. He doesn't talk much other then to Heather or to shout at Kala who turned into an infant not that long ago.

Name: Heather Erivamp
Age: 18, nearly 19

Origin:

How she became a wanderer:
How she became Heather:

Val

Val noticed the newcomer standing out of the way, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible, and she smiled to herself. She'd soon learn that it was hard to hide anything from this mistress of the caravan.

"And for you," she said, looking directly at the shadow-like gyspy, "I have this..." she pulled something from the very bottom of one of the bags- the last thing in that pack. It was a velvet, black bag held together by a white drawstring. She spilled some of the contents out into the woman's hand. They were pearls. "These are mermaid pearls, used to create light... and fire. Watch..." Val took one between her fingers, and suddenly tossed it into the air. As soon as it hit the dark sky, it became a secondary moon, shining in the air.

"It won't last forever," she eplained... "but it will create illusion. They can also create fire." She took one more, and threw it to the ground. At that point, fire burst into a spiraling tunnel that echoed up to the sky. "So use them wisely." She handed her the bag.

*** This is a shell that was found just outside the wagon door.


This strange vile of diamond dust was given to Heather by a strange woman who they found down an alley. What it could be used for, no one knows!


Calming potion thing that is good in small amounts, not sure what happens if you give too much of it

Fresca had a puppy, not sure what is up with that, he is called Frazzle and looks adorable! I still keep the lamp with me, nearly constantly. I have overheard from other camp members that items have been known to grow into animals, would be weird I guess if my lamp turned into anything else, I doubt it though, the dogs dont like it.

Thats a point, the dogs hate my lamp, they are constantly snarling at it or barking at it or something, strange animals. It is only a lamp after all, nothing major, just a lamp, a boring old lamp. Well its not that boring, I love it hehe, my beautiful lamp! I guess I really should go and get soem work done around the camp, the dogs can come with me, get some exercise!

Valelldia came in the dead of night, a single candle leading her way. When she reached the new wagon, moored somewhat outside the circle with the others, she knew it must be the wagon of Heather. ...Did she still not feel a part of this? Valelldia's eyes went wide, and knowing... and she blew out the candle, standing in the deepest dark, and on the lowest step.

"Heather!" She called, low but insistant, "it is time! There's magic in the air, and it calls to your Fortunette. Come out, and sit with me, and the lantern. We'll bring light to this dark night, yet."

"I've noticed, too, that the light never fades," she said, a smiling at the sweet girl's obvious wonder, and not condescending to her innocent questions- for innocence was, after all, the root of all magic. This girl was probably more powerful than she could have ever conceived herself to be.

"It's why we're here tonight," she said. "The reason the light never goes out... is because it is drawn to the magic that surrounds us, as gypsies. If you were to leave us, and forsake the protective bonds of your sister and brother gypsies, the light would subsist for only a while longer... and then perish. Here, it has fed so long on the magic that it burns brightly. ...It desires to live, Heather. Are you willing to help it live?" She brought forth from the folds of her skirt a card- one that she'd read earlier in the night, that had told her it was time for the lantern's growth.

"Sacrifice," she said, reading the name of the card. "It says that your Fortunette is one of self-sacrifice. It is noble, and will give itself to aid others. To draw forth the fortunette magic from this object, and transform it, it has to want to bond with you. To know that you are alike. And so, you must be able to draw sacrifice from others. ...Do you remember the gifts that were given, on the day I returned with my sister? If you can get two other of your fellow gypsies to lend you their gifts to use, and bring them to me to show, I am certain this creature will want to meet you."
