No one in particular~
Aurora continued to spy on the old woman through the window. What was she doing? she wondered. She wondered if she should talk to the mysterious stranger.
"Hello?" Aurora asked, trying to be brave. The old woman turned around and smiled warmly at her.
"Why, hello there, young child. I am Miriam, the elder of the fae. Would you like to come in?"
"Oh, um, okay..." Aurora said cautiously. She didn't want to offend Miriam. She opened the wooden door and slowly walked inside. "It's a pleasure to meet you, oh great fairy elder. My name is Aurora."
"I already know who you are," the old fairy laughed. This made Aurora feel uneasy, "I saw you through my crystal ball! I was hoping that you or one of your friends would come to me."
"Did you need us for something?" replied Aurora.
"Why, yes, actually, I do! You see, my darling, I have sensed that there is a great war on the horizon. What I propose is that you help me prevent it!"
"Well, I'm no one of significance..." Aurora told her. Miriam looked at her with her saddest look.
"Would you really be willing to help out a poor old woman like me?" Miriam sounded so disappointed and innocent that Aurora couldn't help herself.
"Okay then...", she replied, "what do I have to do?"
"You must convince your leader, the harpy eagle, to come and visit me. But first, I have a very dangerous task for you. You must arrange for me to meet with the river spirit!"
"B-but, the sirens are a force to be reckoned with! It could take weeks to convince the leader Nami to meet with you! That's if they don't kill me first!"
"I don't CARE how long it takes! Of course, if you don't manage to find her before a major battle occurs, there will be some very serious consequences. Now, GET OUT!" Aurora, with tears in her eyes, fled the small cottage. What was her problem? she thought, why did she suddenly snap at me? And what will happen if I don't find the siren leader in time?
(I know it looks like I'm trying to progress the story a lot, but this storyline can take place over a few weeks if needed :3)
