Maria Odess

Maria blinked when the Elf opened his eyes she was about to speak when his hand clamped over her mouth. She mumbled into his hand then watched him dart over the the door. "So ummm... Hello to you too sleeping beauty?" She stood up awkwardly and watched him. "Chosen??? Guardian??? WHAT???" She stared at the elf confused. She could hear the urgency in his voice but she was not sure where it was coming from. She looked at the door calmly. "Well your making about as much sense as the person who invented the jack-in-the-box... I came here alone... I've always been alone...." She felt small and confused compared to the elf who seemed huge and well much more filled in on things.

She sat quietly before gently tracing over the wood of the table with her small gentle fingers. "if you could clarify a few things for me... Where am I? Who are you? What's with the shadowy things that are creepy but polite? And what are you sick with?" As she listed off her questions calmly she made note of them on her finger and stared into the emerald green eyes of the elf. "Sorry for the questions... But this is very VERY knew to me..." The tension in her voice rattled the air and shattered a vase. "oops." She frowned and gave the elf and apologetic smile. She wasn't confused about where her trust for the elf came from. It was coming from the need to trust him and the fact that she knew somehow that he needed her help.
