*Leetah stood up.*
"And now, children, I suggest you run off. Get some rest and prepare for your journey. It will be long, hard and dangerous. You must be far away from from the border when the sun rise, or THEY will see you."

***************NEW DAY***************
*Nessa climbed up to the tree house, and helped Katya up. She knocked on the door before entering, stepping aside to let Katya go first.*
"Leetah? It's me, Nessa. I brought my friend Katya. Are you here?"
*She looked over at Katya.*
"Sometimes she is out in the forest, collecting herbs and plants for her healing potions. Please, sit down."
*She whispered.*

*The house, like most things in Lorien, was very impressive. The engineering was rather ingenious--it didn't seem to so much as sit on the tree as wind through and around it. It seemed to be the tree.
She sat down, wondering not for the first time if she could do magic. Or, at the least, make potions.*
"Oh...all right. I wouldn't want to rush her."

*A beautiful young girl with long dark curls, and eyes that glittered in green and gold, entered the room quietly, as if she came out of nowhere. Young was the first impression, but when you looked into her eyes, you could see a deep wisdom there. A knowledge that not all humans get, not even in a lifetime. And there were also sadness there, as if her heart was about to break. Still she was here in Lorien, trying to help her beloved people with their difficulties. And now she came over to Katya with a mild face expression and extended her hand in a greeting.*
"I welcome you both to my humble home. What can I do for you?"

*Keeping Nessa's warning about Tearbird in mind, she lightly shook Leetah's hand*
"Oh, I wanted to meet Haldir's sister. Nessa's talked so highly of you."

*Leetah smiled and shook Katya's hand as well.*
"Ah, so you are the reason why my brother is walking around with stars in his eyes. It was about time someone woke him up. My brother has talked highly of you as well, and looking at you, I can see he was right. Now, what can I do for you?"

*She giggled*
"Well, I think I have stars in my eyes, too." She said, finally letting go of her hand.
"I, um..."
*She bit her lip, suddenly uncertain.*
"I was told that maybe...maybe you could help me get my memories back."

*Leetah smiled and looked at her. Her voice was mild as she spoke.*
"Are you certain you want to remember? Getting back memories is a tricky procedure. I know how to do it, but very much depends on the mental strength of the person I'm trying to help. I don't want you to receive memories your soul is not yet ready to deal with."

*It was good advice, but Katya had been empty of all the normal things regular people--people with a past--had that she wasn't really listening very closely*
"I'm desperate to remember. I don't know anything--who I am, where my home was, who my family was or what they were like. I don't even know my own birthday!"

*Leetah nodded. She understood the pain the girl was going through. She lifted her head and looked at Katya with a smile.*
"There is a potion that may bring your memories back, but I have to collect the plants and herbs to make it. And some of the herbs must be picked at special hours to be effectful. The potion doesn't taste very well. It is bitter, like the memories the human body is trying so hard to block. But if it works - it is very effective."
*She became serious.*
"Are you brave enough to try - now that you know the risk?"

*She started to immediately answer 'yes', but then stopped...and thought about it. While certainly, not all her memories would be good ones, that went without saying for everyone.
She took a deep breath*
"Good or bad, I want to remember."

*Leetah nodded and smiled.*
"Very well. I will start collecting the herbs for the potion. If you return to me the next time the moon is full, it will be ready for you. In the meanwhile - is there anything else I can do for you?"

*Positively beaming, she threw herself at Leetah and hugged the elf*
"Oh, thank you, thank you, and I don't really have anything else to ask! I've asked so much already."

*Leetah smiled and hugged the human girl back. She was so sweet and innocent.*
"Well, it is my job to see to the wellbeing of the people of Lorien. And you are one of us now. Don't be shy to ask if there is anything I can do. Like...."
*She looked at her with a glimpse of humor in her eyes.*
"...healing of wounds, for instance. Or scars?"

*A blush crept into her cheeks, and, suddenly shy again, she stared down at her hands*
"Well...there are scars. Ugly ones from...from what made me lose my memory."
