*Nessa hugged Katya, cradling her in her arms and rocked her gently, to comfort her.*
"I understand. Your memories are returning. And they must be horrible. You should talk to my friend Wild. Her entire family got killed by trolls. She will understand you perfectly. When you are ready, I can take you to meet her. But only if you want to. Wild can be a little... wild, but she has a warm heart, even though she denies it."

*She held onto Nessa a moment, trying to calm herself down*
"I need time...it's too much...but, now I know where my scars came from. Who did it."
Who destroyed my life.
*The Bolsheviks. No wonder the woodsman had been so desperate to get them both out of the country*

*Nessa embraced her friend warmly, trying to protect her from the painful memories.*
"You are safe now, Katya. Nobody will try to harm you here. Haldir will never allow it."

*She nodded, giving Nessa a squeeze before sitting back a bit*
"I believe you. This place, it is so peaceful, and serene...I feel safe here."

*Nessa smiled mildly.*
"We elves are peaceful creatures. We use our magic to create peace. As long as you are here as our friend, no harm will come to you. We will protect you."

*She gave Nessa a small smile*
"I'm sure I could always get along with you."
*She glanced at the retreating Rayek*
"Well, anyone who is nice like you."

*Nessa smiled warmly back.*
"You can get along with most of us, then."
*Her face brightened as she came to think of something.*
"As for your scars, do you know who I should introduce you to? Haldir's sister Leetah! Our shaman in White Magic. She is a very powerful healer."

*A glimmer of hope surfaced in Katya's eyes*
"Do you mean...she could make them go away?"
*It would be wonderful if that were so. Then, she'd be able to wear more different kinds of clothes and not be afraid of people seeing the hideous marks on her*

*Nessa smiled warmly.*
"Leetah is the most intelligent of all the elves in Lorien. And her son, Figwit, resembles his mother. Elves from other kingdoms come to Lorien to get help from her healing hands and her potions. I believe that she would be capable of helping you as well."

*Katya, though she wouldn't have recognize the word for it, glomped Nessa*
"Oh, thank you! I"d love to see her as soon as possible--but, hehe, it doesn't have to be right now."

*Nessa smiled and hugged her friend, glad to make her happy.*
"I can get you in to see Leetah whenever you want. Leetah is a friend of mine. Just tell me when you want to go. What do you want to do now?"

"Leetah," she repeated, commiting the name to memory.
"Well...I'd like to see the music room, actually."

*Nessa smiled and showed the way to a big beautiful room in the middle of the castle. Already before they entered the room they could hear a beautiful soprano voice singing a melancholy song in Elvish. Nessa opened the door and stepped aside, allowing Katya to enter first. Then she entered the room and closed the door behind them.
There was a beautiful, darkhaired woman in the room. Her eyes were glittering in green and gold. She was playing the piano as she sang along. Nessa turned to Katya and whispered.*
"This is Leetah."

*Leetah stopped singing when she noticed the two women standing by the door. She stood up and came towards them with a smile.*
"Nessa, how nice to see you again. And who is this charming young girl you bring with you?"
*She looked at Katya with a smile, offering her hand in a greeting.*
"You must be new here. I am Leetah."

"Oh, hello, Leetah! Nessa was just telling me about you."
*She took Leetah's hand, giving it a gentle shake*
"I am Katya Nicolaevna. It is nice to meet you."
