[OOC:- continued from 'A Resting Place'. This Thread will run mainly in a dreamscape comprised of Midnights buried memories] *A woodland glade. A mountain can be seen in the near-distance, upon that, cut into the hillside, is a small 'walled in' community.* *Coriolis stands proud, all the Scars of recent battle, banished as if never existed...* *His travelling companion stands a few feet back, be-wildered. But this is no time for molly-coddling...* Rhiannon, follow me if you please. *He steps out, heading in the direction of the village-on-the-mountain...*

*Midnight follows at first slowly as she looks around the area. Through clenched teeth she says.*
I keep telling you my name is Midnight. Don't you listen?
*Getting annoyed with this man constantly calling her Rhiannon she picks up speed. She quickly catches up and walks by his side.*

My hearing is just as good as yours, Panther...
*The pair are crossing a clearing in the trees, a path which begins to wend it's way up-hill is apparent.*
*In the centre of the clearing, a ring of people are cheering with Gusto for 2 children, 1 with striking Blue eyes, the other Green. They are fighting bitterly with foresters staves, first, one seems to be winning, then the other. *
*The sparring is evenly matched.*
Do you remember this?

How am I supposed to remember a past that is not mine?
*Midnight's head begins to ache.*
*Thinks* Oh just what I need right now. A headache.
*Though the headache is different from any Midnight has experienced before. It's like something banging at a door wanting to get in...*
*Midnight continues to approach the circle of watchers. Minight watches the children and realises how young they are. By the looks of them they are only 7 or 8. Midnight is surprised by the fierceness of the fight. One of the children is a girl with black hair tied back and the other a boy with his hair cut short.*

The headache is mearly a symptom of indicipline. Clear your mind. Let the truths, whatever they may be, come to you. Look closer.....
*he points out the female contender, along with her striking eyes, she wears a mane of black hair, the same way a master would wear a mace. Despite her dimunitive size, she has a reach un-naturally long.*
*her staff whirrs menacingly through the air, missing her taller opponent, by often less than a hair's breadth.*
*The masculine opponent, with superior physical strength, is slowly but surely driving the flailing dwervish back*
*A confident grin is slowly spreading across the young boys face. He knows that if he can push her far enough back, she will step out the ring and hand the bout to him. Also, it would damage his ego and reputation to be beaten by a girl*

*Midnight turns her attention to the crowd, watching them cheer for the children. It doesn't surprise her at all. Maybe it's for entertainment but she get's the feeling there's something more important at play.*
*She hears the man's word's and tries what he suggests but it doen't work. The door is locked for now at least...*
*Turning her attention back to the children she see's a necklace hanging round their necks. Though they move to fast for her to concentrate on them. The boy manages to turn the match in his favour and is minutes away from winning.*

*A loud [glow=red,2,300]CRACK[/glow] echoes throughout the clearing and one of the staves screams through the air landing a few feet away from the "spiritual audience". The boy towers over his rival the confident growing to the point of a Cheshire Cat's.*
I don't know if you remember this, but i do.

*A second sickening [glow=green,2,300]CRACK[/glow] echoes through the clearing. A moment later, the young girl towers over her opponent. With HIS staff at his own neck. Using the blunted point of her stolen weapon, she pushes him down onto his back.*
*The bout is over....*
You always were a stubborn little thing, Rhiannon....

*Turning her attention to the man she finally loses her temper.*
I AM NOT RHIANNON!!
*After a couple of minutes she calms down.*
That girl could be anyone Just because I look like her does not mean anything.
*The headache intensifies and starts to become unbearable.*
Now is there anything else you want to show me?

Simple. Follow me.
*Again he strides out heading through the tollgates and into the walled settlement. As he walks the streets, his unwilling companion trailing behind, with storm clouds hanging above her head. He makes an abrupt turn, and steps into ONE particular dwelling. *
*Midnight enters, less than a step behind him and comes face to face with.......*

* A woman who looks so much like Midnight that at first she think's she is looking in a mirror. After taking a more careful look she realises the woman is older with flecks of grey in her hair and laughter lines round her eyes.* img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/MissCoolosity/Diana---Rhiannons-Mother.jpg*The woman is talking and smiling. A delicious smell fills the room.. The smell is familiar.* *Her headache gets worse and worse. It's so bad it now feels as if her head is going to explode.* *Hearing a excited girls voice nearing the house she moves subconsciously out of the way to let the girl enter. It is the same girl that had just won the bout. She runs up to the woman who by now has bent down and takes the girl into a warm embrace. When they pull apart the woman holds the girls head in her hands and there is such a look of love, affection and pride in the womans eyes.* *Theres something about the woman that Midnight feels she should know but every time she gets close it escapes her.*

*Coriolis turns to face his spiritual companion. His bearing seems to say, "well?"*
You've met this woman before, she is the one who trained you in the watchers arts. She was also much more...
She was your mother Rhiannon.....Your own flesh and blood.
What happened to you when the darkness came?

Mother!Mother! *A look of shock passes across her face though in her heart she knows it's true.* *Suddenly the door's burst open and her head is swamped. With thought's, feeling's and memories. All of this causes the headache to blow up causing intense pain.* *Thinks* The darkness took her away. *The room and the people within disappear. With a blinding flash Midnight and the man are back next to the opening of the cave.* (OCC: Continues again in A Resting Place
