章節 4: 4

"Hello" "Ric I got one that can talk." "I'll be there." Hanging up the phone I grabbed a bag and headed to the car only to be cut off by Hope yelling at me to let her come as well cause she doesn't want to deal with Landon. I said "I have to go meet Dorian he has a monster trapped that can talk with us." Hope looking upset says "Fine but I'm not happy about this." Getting into my car I head to the airport so I can fly to Washington state to the cabin that Dorian is held up at to speak to the first communicative monster that is after this forsaken knife. I pull up to the cabin and walk into the room to see Dorian has trapped the Dryad in a ring of flowers keeping her locked in place with a barrier. "A dryad I presume?" the creature just nods her head in affirmation I continue "It says here that you are a living spirit of a tree." again she just nods "It also says your kind are gentle creatures who chose to live amongst humans. We are not your enemy, we are just looking for answers." she looked into my eyes and said "Humans are known to lie." Dorian countered back with "so are monsters." not responding to Dorians hostility she spoke again "There is a man I cherish his name is Oliver. If you bring him to me I will believe that you are trustworthy or what passes for it among your species. only then will I answer your questions." Dorian then said "wow wow wow we are not negotiating right Ric?" I looked at her and said "What should we tell this Oliver?" She came towards me and pulled a ring on a woven string from her neck and handed it it me while saying "Show him this ring it belonged to him, he will come with you. I will give no further answers until he does." Dorian tried to provoke her by saying "What if we don't Take the deal?" She simply sits and says "Trees are patient Humans are not." Dorian and I then head outside to talk as well as figure out how to find Oliver. "I think we should get Bonnie to do a locator spell to find this Oliver." "Agreed" Dorian said I walked back in to sit with our guest while he went to ask Bonnie for help. While sitting we get to talking about loss, love and my family I'm starting to think she is psychic I say to myself laughingly. Dorian then walks in saying he has good new and bad news "First Bonnie did a combo summoning/ astral thing to locate Oliver and he's here bad news is he doesn't remember her but is waiting to see her. Weird thing is he wants to know her name." The man Oliver then walks in while looking and our new dryad friend and says "I am Oliver and you are?" she looks saddened but then looks at him and asks about the meadow he says he still lives there to this day. She smiles at this and says "My name is Elida." He looks to be on the verge of tears and wants to hug her but the barrier and the fact that he is just an astral projection stops him. He looks at me and says "I need to come to you physically can you tell me where you are? I need to know so that I can bring something that will clear her mind of all foreign influence." Shocked and taken aback I say "Yes, Dorian can help you with that where are you? We are sort of short on time at the moment." He then says I'm in Washington in a port town called Port Angeles." Dorian looks at me and says "Ric that's not even a long drive from here we are just outside of there in a town called Forks." Oliver then says tell me the address please I will be there within the hour." After getting the information he needed he was gone but Elida looked confused she hadn't any idea what we were talking about.
