Incidentally, Caroline and Rojiza didn't make it to Val's wagon first thing in the morning. They had to finish breaking camp, and then Val was busy, and other such stuff. Ah well, such is life. However, evening had fallen and Caroline decides that now is the time to pay a visit to Valelldia to finish the quest.
"Are you ready, Rojiza?" Her answer is an affirmative chatter.
Caroline pats the amber pendant in her pocket gently and takes Rojiza in her hands, venturing out of Mountain Air and toward Val's wagon.
Cornelius brays cheerily--always happy to see a familiar face.
"We'll be back to chat later, Cornelius," says Caroline with a tip of an imaginary hat. "We've got business to attend to."

Val catches Caroline as she is about ready to approach the wagon and invites her in. "Time to finish things up! Did you do the quest? How did Rojiza fair giving up her precious items?"

Caroline joyously recalls the story. "At first she didn't want to. I knew she wouldn't. But I told her to give it a try--to give away something she could live without. She found this little wooden bug and gave it to Anezka. Leshay'e offered to make it into necklace, and evidently this suggestion inspired Rojiza to bring out several other wood carvings. She thought that the necklaces could be given to the other Fortunettes that are already Darklings, and then upon becoming Darklings for the others."
Rojiza paws at Caroline's pocket.
"Oh! I almost forgot--Rojiza has something to give to you, Valelldia." She pulls out the amber pendant.

Val's eyes lit up, "Oh little Rojiza! That is so sweet, I see you have learned quit a bit today. Looks like you are ready to grow." She put on her necklace. Come inside my wagon if you are ready. "She opened the door and went inside, preparing for the growing.

Caroline and Rojiza follow Val inside her wagon--Rojiza chirruping bashfully at Val's compliment.
"It looks beautiful on you, Valelldia," comments Caroline, admiring the way the amber glows just the way its new owner's eyes do.

Val got out her supplies, the alter was still kind of set up from the last growing but there needed to be some things different. And this wasn't as magic intensive as the last since they didn't need that extra precaution against the darkness.
She smudged Rojiza and Caroline with some sage. The smell was beutiful and relaxing. She lit the two candles and started humming an ancient gypsy chant.

Caroline finds herself lost in the rich smell of sage and the luxurious, full voice of Valelldia's chanting. She has a feeling Rojiza feels similarly, for she'd quit fidgeting in Caroline's lap.

Just then Valledia completed the spell. A surge of energy runs through you and into Rojiza. The air smells like fall leaves, the place lights up in brown and silver light. Everything is a blur and seems to happen all at once. When it is over, you come to realise Rojiza is much heavier and has grown into a Darkling infant!
"It is completed." Val said with a smile. "Promise to keep her from the darkness." (working on the certed copy! Sorry if my rping sucked, it's late)

|O_O OMFG. Cuteh!!|
Caroline gasps with delight as she beholds her daughter for the first time as an infant. She squeezes her gently, ecstatic. "Thank you so much, Valelldia!" She hurries out of the wagon and back to Mountain Air.
