[ It's night time. The flurries of snow have come and gone. Morgana is sitting on her window pane, looking at the sky, of all things. She's wearing a long dress that pools at her feet and occasionally rubs her hands together. ]

Funny. How the stars look the same even though this is hardly Camelot. Almost as if it is the same one. 

[ But that's not the point. ]

My name is the Lady Morgana Pendragon of  Camelot -- now of the Heimdall house. If you need anything, by all means, let me know.

[ It sounds brave and responsible to her. Fitting for a Pendragon.

It reminds her of Arthur.

Perhaps there is a shadow of sadness on her face. ]

Yes, quite a lot of trees. One can be easily get lose in the forest if ones knows not the way.

What happened to your kingdom?

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

I wish I could see it. Where you come from sounds very beautiful.

[she rolls her shoulder in an odd sort of shrug, indicating 'it's complicated' and her emotional attachment to her home]

It just...fell into decay. The people forgot the importance of their duty over time, thinking it done, instead of remembering it to be a constant and eternal vigil.

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

That is -- that's terrible. I'm sorry. Have you left it and moved to another?

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

How could I? It's my home, and-- [she hesitates, debating for a moment] --my family hasn't forgotten what we're meant to do.

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

That is good. If some are still loyal to the cause, your kingdom could be great again one day.

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

[she doesn't say anything for a moment]

That's my hope.

...I'm sorry, I don't mean to hog the conversation. I was asking about you. I didn't get out of my own home much, so I love to hear about different and new places.

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

You didn't at all. To be truthful since I came to Camelot I have not left the kingdom much.

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

Is that something you regret?

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

Very much so. I longed to. Yet the king would not usually allow it.

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that. I know how that is. I never understood that confining aspect of being nobility...

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

Nobles are tied to their castles and their crowns. That's why there are things most of them will not see.

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

Oh, that I definitely understand. ...I guess I just prefer to be among the people, to go everywhere they are, to hear what they have to say. What they need, what I can do.

[a thoughtful silence]

...I haven't been entirely truthful. I'm Elika...priestess and princess of the Ahura.

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

[ She inclines her head. ]

Lady Elika.

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

[she laughs a little]

You don't have to do that. I can hardly call myself that anymore. Just Elika.

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

Alright then, Eilka it shall be.

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

And Lady Morgana. [she smiles and inclines her head this time] A pleasure. I'd love to hear more of your land and your people, whenever you want to talk about it.

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

If you are Elika then I am Morgana.

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

[her smile broadens]

I think that's probably fair. We even have a secret to keep - I don't see the point in people knowing what I was. It's done now.

So, Morgana - what do you think of this place so far? And these "gods"?

[medicatus.livejournal.com]

It will be safe with me, I promise.

-- It is the most odd kidnapping I've heard of, to be sure. I am not entirely sure I believe the story about them beings gods.
