Meeting Madame Lumeria

    by: Unknown
It was winter, and snowflakes drifted from the cloudy sky and joining the blankets of white snow that covered Warfang this time of year. Trotting around in the bustling market square, passing shops that sold food and other goods, the pink dragoness known as Ember, wearing a orange scarf around her neck, hummed a june to herself.

Bouncing against her flank were two satchels, one containing her money while the second contained her supplies she just bought. As a healer in training, and a amateur spell caster, it was Ember's responsible to replenish the medical stock at the temple's infirmary.

Her task was completed for today, but she wasn't going back home just yet. Usually she liked hanging out in the square for a while, buying herself something with the spare money she had, for her instructed, Aqua, didn't mind her doing so (it was a reward she gave Ember for her hard work during the rest of the year), and checking out a few stores that sold beautiful items.

But as she walked down the street, her head zipping left and right, Ember's eyes fell on a very peculiar store. In fact, it was a maroon tent, looking completely out place between the wooden stalls. Snow that covered the roof caused the canvas to droop, and a sign, swinging in the light breeze, was titled "Madame Lumeria's fortune telling and gift shop!".

Ember was curious, for she had never seen such a store before in Warfang. She decided to pay it a visit, trotting over towards it, lifting the flap that acted as a doorway, and entered the tent.

She found herself in a round room, the walls, multicolored pillows, and scented candles giving it a cozy feeling. A table was set in the middle of the room, and in the middle of that table was a crystal ball.

"Hello!" Ember called, "Is anyone here?"

"Greetings," came a voice, which caused Ember to jump.

Looking to her left, where the voice came from, she saw a old female fox emerged from the shadows where she seemingly just materialized from, wearing a red robe.

"I'm so glad that you've came to seek my help, Ember," the fox continued.

The pink dragoness' eyes widened in surprise. "How did you know my name?" she asked.

"O, young one," the fox said, "I am Madame Lumeria! I know all and much more."

She walked towards the table and took a seat on the pillow, watching Ember with piercing green eyes.

The pink dragoness eyed her skeptically. "O, really?" Ember said with one eyebrow raised.

Lumeria nodded. "Indeed," she said, "I know that you also had a crush, and still harbor feelings, towards the legendary purple dragon, Spyro."

Ember's mouth fell open in shock, taking a step back. Things were getting a little bit freaky. How could she know? It was probably coincidence, or someone, she did not know who, told this weird fortune teller about her crush on Spyro.

It was like Lumeria could read Ember's mind. "And no, no one told me about your crush on the purple dragon." She grinned. "If you still don't believe me, I have another secret that no one, except yourself, knows: you also have "feelings" towards Spyro's mate, Cynder, too."

Okay, now Ember was freaked-out. After Spyro turned Ember down, the pink dragoness was soon treated with disdain by Cynder, angry at her trying to steal away the one she loved.

Ember didn't want to make enemies, even less wanting someone to hate her. She was a sweet girl that wanted to be friends with everyone, so, she, after apologizing to Cynder several times, began to built a relationship with the black dragoness. But soon she began to develop deeper feelings for her.

Ember didn't know why but Cynder's strength, her beauty, her charm attracted her.

The pink dragoness blushed so hard that her face turned from pink to red. She rubbed one front leg against the other, and she averted her gaze. She felt like darting out of the tent, to escape this freaky old fox who knew so much about her.

Lumeria laughed. "O, young one," she said, "It would seem that my bluntness had embarrassed and scared you. Don't worry; your secret is safe with me. In fact, I want to help you. So, why don't you take a seat and I'll offer you a few items."

Not knowing what else to do, Ember did as Lumeria asked. The fox reached into her robe and pulled out to objects, setting them on the table. One was a pretty amulet, made from gold, and the other was a small bottle, containing pink liquid.

She pointed at the amulet, saying: "This amulet right here in enchanted to transform you into something your crush, the purple dragon, would find attractive."

Ember studied it. "So this thing would make me more pretty for Spyro?" she asked.

"I said that it will transform you into something HE will find attractive," explained the fox.

Ember nodded, turning her attention to the one bottle. "And that?" she asked, pointing a claw, "What will that do?"

A sinister grin appeared in Lumeria's face. "That," she began, "Is a love charm. Feed it to someone and that someone will fall in love with the first person it sees. But there is a catch: the potion only works on females, so you will know who to use it on."

She leaned forward, asking in a hushed voice, "I can only give away one, for using both can be dangerous. So, which will you choose? They are five gold coins each."

Ember looked from the bottle to the amulet, and from the amulet to the bottle, wondering which one she will take.

You have the following choices:

1. She takes the amulet.

2. She takes the bottle.

*Noteb*
3. Ember asked if there were more items she could offer.

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
