It wasn't the most adventurous time in Crocus, it sure had brought its hair raising moments, with the sudden departure of her own partner. Which sounded like a very strange word for a man that only played games with her, she had been very aware of that, that didn't mean that the sudden leave was no surprise. She had not expected it, not with no words, not with just turning around as she had her back towards him, literally in the same place. Now she had overcome that anger and that loneliness, as she didn't like being alone, thanks to the help of the Goddess whose soul she hosted. But than the following thing was that she learned of her mother, she had been looking for almost a year now, having fought her sister and father about it. They had their peace with her being gone and now she learned that her mother was dead and that she had a second family in Sin which left her a half brother. Instead of pushing him away and calling him a liar, Phoebe had played a new game, thanks to Persephone.

That didn't mean that it was a good thing to do but she needed him later to go to Sin. She wanted to see where this nonsense had taken place. She turned the letter in her hand and put it in the purse that was next to her on the table. She had met Lady Merlin a few days ago, where she had helped with the delivery of an item and now she had a letter. She had not even told the Lady her address or well the place where she stayed but yet she seemed to know everything. Phoebe sighed and was half happy to have a request from the Lady Merlin but also, she didn't feel like doing anything. But she stood up, finished her hair in a braid by wrapping the hair tie around the last end and picked up her jacket to head out.

She owuld have to walk towards the tower again and wonder what this quest was about as it had not been a very clear description, just something necessary she had said. Phoebe shook her head, she would figure out once she was with the Lady. She entered the place and walked up the staircase, only to find the door open and no Lady Merlin but a blonde, Phoebe guessed about the same age as her and taller. Which happened easily to Phoebe, "Hello, ehm. I got a letter from Lady Merlin to help her on a quest. Have you seen her?" She had no idea who this person could be and if Merlin thought it to be funny to leave and hand her job to someone else because Phoebe didn't show up soon enough. Perhaps they would have the job together, Phoebe would have no problem with that. It was always interesting to meet more people and perhaps she could make good use of information and so on in this world with help from others. Persephone approved at that idea but she kept rather quiet, as she had done the last day with Victor. Perhaps she was seeing things again but it felt like a pattern now.

As she had just arrived, she immediately noticed that the tall pretty sorcereres wasn't here. That was easy to spot as there was a blonde woman inside the tower where she had visited Merlin once before. Phoebe took the note out of the pocket of her jacket to show it in case this woman would ask but she didn't. All the blonde mentioned that she must be the one that came to help and that Lady Merlin had just left. But before she could say anything else or really think more thoughts about the situation, the two ladies stood in front of each other; the blonde had came closer and mentioned that they were both asked to help. Well that was interesting, "Perhaps another ally." Persephone purred in her mind.

Phoebe her lilac eyes turned towards the amulet and looked at the pretty colour and glittering that it gave off and she nodded, "And for what purpose does it needs to be enchanted?" She looked back at the lady who introduced herself as Xandra Queen, "What a pretty name, I'm Phoebe Rainsworth." She said to return the favour of giving her name as well as lifting up her own hand to shake Xandra's. She wasn't sure why two people were necessary, but she wouldn't complain about it, perhaps it would be else too boring and it might be a difficult enchantment that it would be nice to have back up to read it correctly.

She looked around the room, where all the papers and books were spread over the whole room, she sighed slightly because it seemed like a lot of work. So she listened to the explanation of the enchantment and nodded as a reply to the part that they had some work to do, "Well thank god we are with the two of us." So she looked around the study, what kind of books would they need, it would have been nice if Merlin would have provided the books for them.

At first she had thought bad about the potential of not being able to do this job alone. It wasn't because she didn't like other people but she had the feeling that Lady Merlin would underestimate her, perhaps she shouldn't think in that way. As she looked around the room with the many papers, books, object she couldn't indentify, she didn't know what to say or think about it in the wave of a short annoyance. Where Persephone had purred about a new ally, that's what they were playing, the game of life. Trying to find people that could use to depend on a little, to no longer be left alone by idiocy on their side. No longer being dumped by so many people again and again. "Yes let's start. The question is where." She said, dropping her annoying feeling and simply asking and giving a smile to Xandra. Man this room was a mess, she had not seen it the last time she had come around, she had just talked to Merlin downstairs.

As Xandra mentioned the title, Phoebe nodded, "I wonder if it would be able to give someone a longer life as long as they were the enchantment." but would that make them the enchanter, she wasn't capable to do that, not even with Persephone her soul within her. "I agree it might be a nice present to receive and thus to give." But strange you didn't even take the time to make the present yourself, so how much did that person really mean to her. She didn't even feel the need to bring it up, to everyone their own right? So they had to find this book and Phoebe looked where Xandra started, so she would start at the exact opposite, the quicker they would find it probably, instead of looking at the same point over and over again.

Because of flipping through papers, pushing them aside, or objects as carefully as the raven haired mage could, she was getting slightly annoyed that they had not found the book yet. She didn't know what it was today, being so annoyed but it had them already taken fiftheen minutes! Couldn't Merlin if she wanted them to do something; put the book on her desk and let them finish her job. She couldn't imagine that the high mage wanted stranger to search through her stuff, what if they put something somewhere she wouldn't look for it again, or break one of these strange objects. She would cringe with the thought of that, now thank god she didn't own very special stuff and with that her clothing was the most and she was already used to Mary stealing it. She turned around quickly when her track of thoughts were disturbed by the sound of something falling, not loud, just papers. "Ah good, let me pick this up and we can read how to do this enchantment." she said with a smile as she hunched down to grab most of the papers that were within arm length of her. Curious to how this enchanment might work.

Persephone seemed to be a bit restless and Phoebe had no idea what or why and she simply ignored it. They could do a job for Lady Merlin, as Persephone had said before it was the idea to have Lady Merlin become an ally, a pawn in their game of life. Which was a tough game and Lady Merlin might never know she was a part of the game to play anyway. It was a game for only Phoebe and she would figure out how it worked in the end, it was a difficult game with no instruction manual and so on. All that was left to do was simply play the game and hope for the best. Phoebe was up for that in the end. When Xandra found the book, there were a lot of papers falling down and Phoebe simply walked over, hunched down and start picking them up. Soon Xandra was helping her out though.

Now that she looked at the book shortly that Xandra put down, the raven haired girl wondered what enternal life would mean. To a Goddess, one forgotten and left only like a fragment of what she had been, it didn't even seem to be fun anymore. So why would Phoebe want anything like that, it didn't make you invincible and you would have a very big weakspot, what if someone took the amulet away from you. She shouldn't think too much about it, it made Persephone not really happy either. Phoebe didn't ask much from Persephone but she always wondered what was really going on and at this point, perhaps if she had not been with someone else in the room, she would have asked. What was it like to be a Goddess and so on. What kind of effect, what kind of hazards, anything. Only thanks to Persephone she wasn't lonely anymore, she wasn't that easily hurt anymore and all that jazz.

When she made a new stack of the papers, taking the ones from Xandra, she placed them somewhere else, as they would need the table where Xandra had placed the book again to work on the enchantment. "I have experienced and worked on a couple," Phoebe said with a smile as she looked at the book, that sure looked old. Phoebe leaned a bit closer to read the ingredient list, "Let's first take everything we need." She said as she read that they would need a bowl, some mineral water and other things that were on the shelf close by, so Phoebe walked around the table to get it.

Persephone would be able to help and stop Phoebe if she would do something wrong considering the concoction. Although the book was already quite clear on what they should do and what not. She looked at Xandra, "It needs the enchantment that stands here, shall I say it?" If Xandra agreed, Phoebe would do so and else refrain from it. But after the enchantment it would be done and they could take the amulet out of the now mixed water and let it dry on the paper towels that she had placed already next to the bowl. All needed now was for Lady Merlin to see if it was any good.

Phoebe noticed that after Xandra and she herself needed to let some of their magic into the amulet, to empower the enchantment, Xandra seemed to be lost in thoughts for a few seconds. It went all rather quickly so it wasn't annoying or anything but Phoebe made sure to look at the blonde to see if she was alright and if she wanted to talk about it. She placed the amulet on the paper towels to dry them off softly. The magic that they used together, so a combination of them both, had worked so smoothly together that she found it fascinating and perhaps a slight bit scary as well. Persephone had been rather quiet as if she was hiding something but as Phoebe asked her what was wrong, the Nature Goddess said that she didn't know but the whole enchantment had given her a strange feeling.

Now that the enchantment was done, they owuld have to find Lady Merlin, Phoebe her first guess would have been to go to the royal library or something but the door opened and as she twirled around to look at it, she recognized her name and the voice who said it out loud, Lady Merlin had entered herself. "We just finished." Phoebe answered glad to see that Lady Merlin remembered her name as she and Persephone had tried to make an impression on the Lady, "Interesting, how did the fusing of the magic go? No out loud discusions?" The lady asked with an amusing smile on her face and Phoebe looked shortly at Xandra as she didn't understand what she meant, "I'm glad that the divine beings around you, allowed me to make use of a bit of their magic capability." The advisor of the King mentioned with a slight wink to both girls before she walked towards her desk, "Now if you bothw ould be so kind to bring the amulet to Luciel." she took it from the paper towels to check and magically and suddenly have it in a wrapping paper with a nice red ribbon, "She is in the library." Phoebe nodded and took the gift from Lady Merlin again and waited before she was out of the room to ask Xandra, "What did she mean? Divine beings?" There was only one that she could imagine and that was Persephone but she had never told Lady Merlin that she had the Take Over magic.

Apparently Xandra had the same question for Phoebe, where the black haired lady wondered if she was really meaning to tell about Persephone. The Goddess herself held her mouth shut, not entirely sure what to do. Normally so focused on finding allies, she was now afraid to tell people about her very own excistence? Phoebe didn't know, and even if she asked in her mind, the Nature Goddess didn't answer, which was quite annoying too, perhaps she was lost in thoughts, perhaps she was afraid for telling people, perhaps there was more to Persephone than that the Goddess told her at first instance.

"Yes, let's first bring this to Luciel." Who Phoebe had met about two times now and she hoped to find the strange blonde quickly as her curiousity was asking a lot from her. It wasn't that far a walk towards the library, only about ten minutes. But the Library was a big building belonging to the Royals but used by everybody as to inform people about the world. That's where she had met Luciel before or well where she had translated a letter for her and before that.. She clenched her jaw as considering the first job she had done for Luciel and the effect it had in the end. She would get shivers and goosebumps if she thought about that rat again but thank mostly of those emotions were overshadowed by a not-understanding of what happened after. So she basically forgot. She had been on her way to the library and realizing what kind of a gigantic big building that was, Phoebe also realized that finding one person in there was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. And because it could take a while, it allowed Phoebe to think of many things that Lady Merlin might have meant with the words; Divine beings. Divine beings mostly related to a God or Goddess most of the time, like with the Illumin and what she read about that, only out of interest.

Phoebe turned her face to look at Xandra, just at the moment that she wanted to look at her to see if she could see anything for example if Xandra seemed to be talking to someone in her mind, her partner whispered the question where they would find her, her refering to Luciel. While walking around, further into the library, the question (which Phoebe had shrugged off) was answered as Luciel was there. Phoebe handed the gift to Luciel mentioning it came from Lady Merlin before leaving her and the gift and thus the library.

Hopefully getting something but she didn't know how to start, afraid it was a mistake in her own mind as she had not told Lady Merlin, how would the enchantress know. But her mouth fell open as soon as Xandra dared to tell her, "So she did mean that, to me it would be Persephone, the Goddess whose Nature magic I can use, the same as you." It was very nice to know that there was someone who understood her in the ways of magic. Perhaps Xandra had been a user of the same magic though and not changed to the direct opposite of her magic capabily as Phoebe had done, but still it meant there was someone that understood. Someone that would be able to help instead of suggesting to try to take the soul out, which had made Persephone fight her but at the moment they seemed to be able to be side by side; playing the game of life.

They would head back in the mean time to Lady Merlin to get rewarded. The Enchantress didn't mention anything else right now, she was glad to hear and paid them barely looking up from the scroll that she was reading. It was a shame that they couldn't talk right now because unfortunately Phoebe had to go, "Let's meet again soon, I love to talk to you." Finally someone that might understood, but she shouldn't get her hopes up too high, it wouldn't be the first time nor the second that she would be left behind and probably forgotten.
