Once you stop blinking the dew off of your eyelashes you take a good look at the world beyond.
The sound of music hits your ears, a soft, energetic music that makes you want to dance. There is also the sound of voices talking in a strange tongue. You walk deeper into the woods and soon find yourself in what appears to be a semi-clearing, but as you look up you see houses and homes in the trees. People around 4 to 5 feet tall are walking on bridges between the tree houses.

Kitanna-blade Star held back a smile, as she pulled the long sleeve away from her right hand. SHe snapped her fingers and a peice of parchment appeared before her. She then flipped her hand and a quill appeared and began to make a rather unusual list on the Parchment.Parchment LIst Boison berries
half a dozen tree branches
pink and silver fabric
white thread
a large couldron
2 wooden bowls
a vial of rat blood
a cup of white sand
a pouch of coals, prefferably still warm
2 apples
an Ivy vine
a large peice of birch bark
rope
a dozen 3inch strips of leather
a chess set.
"If you would please, acquire me these items, and have them delivered to SilverBlade's Home" she said sweetly "I'll need them by tonight" she said as she smiled sweetly and refrained from yawinging in the poor girls face.Once she had releived her self of the burden, she winked at the young lady, and began to turn to leave. but then stopped her self short and turned back to Aila.
"Oh, and if you find yourself near the market, pick up some flour and a pound of milk chocolate" she said sweetly "oh grab some white chocolate too" and with a smile still on her face from the thought that skittered through her head, she turned and headed back to her family hut, where she could get some sleep.

Star Wandered into her home a few minutes later, and after passing through a Richly decorated sitting room, she took the stairs up to a second level, which at a quick glanced seemed to be nothing more than a very large study, filled with book shelves and books, and vials of all kinds. Passing the second level and taking the stairs up the the 3rd and final level she walked into Her own bed room, where she quickly changed and settled down for a good days sleep, so that she would be able to think clearly when she met with Blade again.

An hour later, Blade awoke as the sun first lightened the sky. She hadn't slept much, but then again, she wasn't one for waisting time with things such as sleep. She changed rather quickly into something a bit more casual than the cloths she normally wore. She was dressed entirely in shades of green as she strapped on her sword, and numberous other weapons and left the sanctuary of her home.
Her first stop was Shades Blades, where she eyed a collection of Shruiken before picking out six Stealth coated stars, a bottle of metal polish and a fresh sharpening stone and cloth. She slipped her new items into the olive green belt pouch and Headed on down to the Produce market that was just beginning to open for the morning.
She walked through the market passing a variety of profitable vegitable and fruit stands. And a handful of meat and leather stands before stopping at a puny looking vegitable stand where most of the produce seemed rediculously small, and in very poor shape. Behind the stand stood a young man in torn cloths. Blade reached into a pocket in her tunic and pulled out something in her closed fist.
"Six Sweetpeas Please" She said casualy as she set her hand, palm down, on the table and slid it towards the man. He reached over and grabbed the undetermined amount of coins from the table and then reached under the table and pulled out a medium sized brown leather pouch, which he handed to her.
Blade took the pouch and walked smoothly away from the Stand. She walked over 2 bridges and up half a dozen slopes, all the while heading south, before comming to the door of a three story tree Hut.
She Opened the door with out knocking and walked into Starfire's main sitting room. She walked past the sitting room and into the kitchen, where she opened the bag and removed six perfect, large round blue fruit. She layed them on the counter, and then took the next moment to rummage through a cabinet to find a fine blackpowder. The powder was a summoning Powder, so once she had poored it out onto the table, she wrote the names of Her hold friend Anila, and Anila's Daughter Nausu as well as 2 other people (( Starfire wasn't one of them since she lives there, but this is a great opportunity for anyone to jump in and join the story, as one of the 4 people that blade has chosen to summon to assist her on her mission))

Anila drew a breath in, holding it for a few moments and released it again. She sat in her home on the wooden floor meditating like she was told to do. For once, Anila thought, I have time to meditate in the early hours. That train of happy thought was dashed away when a puff of smoke fulled the space before her. It told that Anila Trueshot was summoned to assist Blade. With a small sigh Anila rose off the ground, "Nausu? Did you get one too?" She asked as a young elfin child entered the main circular room that served as the livingroom/sitting room to the two elf girls' house.
Nausu nodded to her mother, Anila, "Does that mean we get to go on an adventure?" The young elf asked excited for she was ready already before Anila could say yes or no. When Anila nodded Nausu let out a cry of glee as she jumped. She followed her mother out of their home across the many wooden bridges that connected platform and buildings and to the house they both had been summoned to.

She heard the 2 soft footsteps bridges away, And was at the door, holding it open before they had a chance to even think about knocking.

Anila smiled to herself as Nausu skipped along behind her as she hummed a song. Nausu had always filled her life with joy eversince she came to the trees here to live. For many years she lived by herself out in the woods. Now she had grown use to all the people and things here. "Greetings there, my friend," Anila said when she saw a young elf holding the door open to Starfire's home for them.

Blade nodded, and let the door fall closed behind her. Once they were inside she gestured casually to the cushions on the floor of the sitting room, and headed back into the kitchen.

Anila took a seat on a red cushion on the floor looking about the room.
Nausu collapsed down on a red cushion as well and asked curiously, "What do we do now?"
"Now we wait, Nausu," Anila said with a small smile. Maybe she could catch up on her meditation taht she knew she was missing. She crossed her legs and placed her hands on her knees waiting for the other elf to return.

Back in the Kitchen, Blade picked up the 6 blue fruit one at a time, and tossing them into the air, used them as weapon practice as she took her two swords and quartered them each individually, catching them on a plate as they fell. Once all six of the rare, and forbidden* fruit were cut up and on the plate she took the platter and set it on the low table in the middle of the sitting room. "help yourselves" she said smoothly.
((*These are Aratian Fruit, they are a very rare fruit that only the higher nobility is allowed to consume, Thus they are forbidden to anyone not of the kings blood. Blade however has her conections blaugh ))

Anila looked at the fruit surprised recognising it as Aratian Fruit. She wanted to ask how on earth did she get Aratian Fruit but decided that it was not her place. "Thank you," she said simply bowing her head to Blade in thanks.
"Wowee! I've never seen that kind of fruit before! What kind is it?" Nausu asked jumping up and going over to the low table where she plopped down again and grabbed a piece of the fruit. She examined it in wonder wanting to remember every detail of the fruit.

A small smile creeped over Blade's face as she watched the happy young child leap for the new fruit. Then a thought hit her and she removed her sword, sheath and all, from her belt, held it up and pounded on the ceiling. As she pounded the third time she said, in a harsh voice "Wake up you lazy snob"

As darkness enveloped her, she felt at peace, here in her home, where nothing made a sound and noone came nocking. She was unsure how long she had actually gotten to rest, when suddenly a loud banging and a muffled voice from the main floor awoke her. She quickly changed into something comfortable, yet acceptable for what ever company she may be having at this strange hour. She grabbed an ornate gold staff from the second floor study, just for decoration, and then glided down the fine flight of stairs to her own main sitting room, where she was shocked to find not only Blade, who was fastening her sword to her hip, but also Anila and sweet little Nausu. Ahh how her demeanor always brightened when that young prodogy was around.
Entering the room fully, she set the shining staff against the wall to her right and sat down opposite Anila, smiling. "So what brings you to my humble home?" she askes in her usual singsong voice, ignoring Blade, as she loomed over them all.

BLade gave a mental shrug and then returned to the kitchen, she was far from a good cook, but she knew how to cut fruit, and she could handle pooring a drink, so she pulled out four glasses and set them on the table and then went in search for something to drink in them.
