Arietta was in the forest and looking around for some spirits. She had done some research about how to help her mother, but she couldn't finish anything without the spirit...
"Arietta~" someone, or thing said in a singing voice.
Arietta looked up and saw a small wind fairy, she smiled gently, "How's everything?"
"Is there anything I could help you with?" the fairy asked, "You know, since you helped me out last time."
Arietta thought about the offer, "Just tell me where can I find whoever's in charge in here..."
The fairy looked afraid, "You mustn't go and see him! It would put your life in danger....!"
'But what about my mother....? I have to make sure she's back to her old self again...'

"I believe...it is 'her'." a calm eerie voice sounded through the forest as the source walked soundlessly toward Arietta.
"What is it you want with me? You are living. Most of the living wish to stay as far away from here as possible. Or rather...far away from 'me' as possible..."
The voice stared Arietta down, and rose it's head up slightly in arrogance.
"At the risk of encouraging your stay...what is your name?"

"Arietta Charlotte Valiase!" Arietta said loudly, she isn't afraid.
"Arietta......!" the fairy tried again to ask her to leave.
Arietta ignored the fairy and kept looking at her surroundings. There's a voice, but she didn't see the the person. By the time she turned to where the fairy were, it was gone already.

The voice laughed menacing and harsh staring at the other with eyes of amusement.
"You should follow suite after your little fairy friend. She definitely has the right idea. Not to fear me is foolish, when so many before you have done so and died. What is it you wish of me? I doubt I will grant it, but I require amusement, so tell me."
The voice watched the other some more, curiously.
Does she truly not fear me...?

"I need a way to help my mother!" Arietta said firmly, "She had done nothing wrong, so I hope you'd help her!"
Arietta doesn't care what happened to herself, all she wanted is to help her mother. She had already made up her mind, if she can help her mother, then she doesn't care what had happened to her.

"And tell me why I should help 'you' exactly? I do not fear you, and I find nothing interesting about you. What have you to offer me in return for my generosity? Nothing. You come to me empty handed, little one. Quite a pity indeed." Without a second thought, the voice disappeared as the source walked started to walk away.
Everything and everywhere seemed to quite down at the voice and even as the voice quieted and started to depart, everything remained quite along with her.
The source's hands folded themselves in her sleeves, as she walked with an almost regal tone.
Hmph. Such an arrogant one she is. Comes to someone such as me empty handed. What a waste of my time. I actually thought there was something of interest with this little one. I suppose I was wrong...A pity indeed...

Arietta took out her wooden staff and followed the voice, "You're wrong! I did not come here empty handed!"
She decided that she's going to do it, for her kingdom, for the queen of her kingdom, for her mother.
"If you help me, no, my mother, then I'll give you my life in exchange. If that's still not quite enough, then you name the price!"

"Little one...what type of person do you think of me? I will not take your life in exchange for the assistance of your mother. Yes, I am evil. But no...I have 'some' form of compassion. Also, you are foolish to throw your life away so readily. You are still a little one. Do not be so careless. How about this. If I help your mother, I will take you in as my apprentice. I find men stupid, and ignorant, and therefore, refuse to marry or even have one court me. Due to this, I have no heirs. You will be my apprentice for a total of 12 years. Do you agree?"
The voice waited quietly quietly in the shadows for the other. As if also waiting, the trees whispered softly as the breeze brushed itself against them as if whispering a secret.

'12 years....?' Arietta thought about it.
"You mustn't!" the fairy suddenly came back again.
Arietta had no other choice, it's either that or more research...and she can't take anymore of those useless book that doesn't help her one bit....
"Sure, you got yourself a deal!"

"Very well, then. Arrive here tomorrow evening at 9 o'clock on the spot. I detest tardiness and have no patience for such. One of my underlings will lead you to me. Till then."
Now fully gone, the forest creatures dared to poke their heads out of their crevices and holes, sniffing around for signs of the voice. No longer smelling her scent, they dared to venture out further, and go about their dailies.

"Fine..."
Arietta then left the forest. She was willing to do anything now. She was desperate, if she doesn't find a cure soon, it might be too late to save her.....

Standing there waiting was Empress Kanershu with her hands folded in her sleeves. Most considered her more menacing this way, and instantly hid in fear.
Finally seeing Arietta, she glared halfheartedly.
"You're 'late'."

"So?" Arietta asked coldly.
She wasn't planning on being late like this, but she had things to do before. But still, she's still fearless.

The empress smirked quietly to herself. She has attitude...Maybe she 'will' survive this.
Firstly, I am a woman of my word. What is wrong with your mother?

"My mother was driven insane by a spell in her water on night at a ball." Arietta answered unemotionally, "I was supposed to be the one to drink that....." Arietta clenched her fists, "So you can make sure you cure her?"
