After sending out the invites she would begin preparing her wedding dress and taking care of a few last things before the wedding "This is going to be the second time I get married to a doctor" She joked to herself before looking out her palace window "I made him wait long enough.."

The elfess has been having many busy days in her nation, documents piled and construction of Vikela's palace was progressing. The elfess took a seat from building to take in the beautiful scenery, just then a bird arrived with a letter. Upon opening the letter, the elfess fell limp when her eyes landed upon the news of her aunt's passing. Warm tears once again streamed down the elfess's face. Her aunty was right, over time they grew apart and the past was never made amends, but she loved her aunt truly. "Aunty..." The elfess cried "I'm sorry...I should have been better...I wish I could have fixed what was broken...I'm sorry for letting you down..." Medea puts the letter down as she looked up to the cloud, her hands together like she was praying "May you find peace in the eternal forest...if we were to ever meet again, I would gladly be your niece once more..."

Medea would be on her daily stroll within her kingdom when a bird arrived with a missive. The elfess was not expecting a letter today but here we are, a letter has been sent. She took the letter and went into her bar, preparing some calming tea for the day. The elf sat down at the counter, opening the letter. She lifted up her tea cup to take a sip before her eyes landed upon the words written on the missive. The tea cup fell to the ground, along with dropping the letter. Medea covered her mouth from learning the news, "No..." The elf gasped as tears began to stream down her face "This can't be...not Elena.." She placed her left hand on her chest as if her heart was in pain "No.." The elfess sobbed within her bar. "You promised to take care of Luthien for me Elena...who else can I trust to protect her now...oh dear friend...we still had so many memories to share..."

Sorrows of a Violet “No one was around so you decided to come out personally?!” Sentences echo inside of the elfess’s head. “You have a precious position in the entire Kingdom and you went out all on your own? This is why you’re always needed to be babysat!” The elfess sat there in her bar, alone like usual. A glass of wine as her only company, but she couldn’t complain, wine always did help her forget. “You got this badly hurt and you still say you’re fine?!” The elfess takes sip, trying to block out all the noise. “When will you stop worrying me, Suika…” She takes another sip, pain was something she had grown used to…physical, mental, emotional, she’s grown used to it all, to this elf, pain was just another normal feeling. “You wish to learn the arts of healing without being healed yourself…hmmm?” Finally she feels warm tears begin to stream down her face, it seems that that’s all she’s been doing for the past few years. Smiling in front of her loved ones and letting the tears flow down her cheeks when she sits alone. The elfess closes her eyes, trying to remember when she was truly happy, when she really had no worries…and within her own mind she sees a woman, her golden sunlight eyes were something the elfess would never forget, and her sweet voice was one that this elfess always found comfort in. “Medea, my Little Lion.” The elfess would smile, remembering the sweet yet powerful voice of her mother. She was a woman this elfess looked up to from the very first day they met, someone that Medea did her best to fight for and be strong for, even though sometimes it feels hard to do so. Remembering her mother always did bring a smile to her face but that smile only lasts for a few seconds cause she knows she will never get to hear that voice in the real world again. “Mon Cheri..I'm sorry.” Another gentle voice she remembers, the man she married, the man she shared many loving memories with, the man she had beautiful children with, surely the voice of this man is what brings her joy? It did…for a long time…until he left her and she was alone once more. “I leave Vikela in your hands now, sister.” Another sweet voice that Medea misses, a voice she knows she will also never get to hear again, surely her sister is peacefully resting with her mother now. All of a sudden the search for a good memories turns into torture. “You’re reckless.” “Stop acting like a child” “Think before you act.” “You’re not doing it right.” “Work harder.” “You’re going to get us killed.” “You’re weak.” “You will never be good enough.” The elfess feels herself drowning in despair. “When will I be enough…” Surrounded by love, surrounded by family, surrounded by friends, yet this elf finds herself feeling lonely, feeling guilt, feeling hopeless. “How do I be better for them..?” “How do I become a better mother..?” “How do I become a better partner…?” Questions she asks herself everyday. Questions that sinks her deeper and deeper into her despair, and the further she falls, the harder it becomes to crawl back to the surface…the harder it becomes to make her way back to the light.

The Pact of Healing, Health and Vitality As her spirit left her body, she ascended to the sky filled with stars before going into a domain. She would be greeted with an ancient door in a dark room, and upon the back wall, written on it was a question, “The reality is not what we make it out to be, can you make out your own reality?” Medea would look at the door, wondering if she was supposed to go through it or not, but seeing as there was no other way to go, she grabbed onto the door handle, opening the door and going through it with her teacher. Once Medea passed through the other side, she felt at ease. It looked like a paradise. The area was lush with vibrant colors and greenery, palm trees covered in vines, berries and fruits growing from its trunk. Next to Medea was a river leading to a lake with a beach. In the distance there would be a large mountain, possibly a sleeping volcano that had mythical and normal animals roaming about on it. She looked at herself, and noticed she was dressed in an all white Vikelian style clothing though with no jewelry or crown. She would then notice a nine tailed fox approaching and looking up at her. Upon seeing the fox, she would then greet the animal out of instinct. “Hello there.” The elf said with a smile. The fox would then begin walking towards the river and seemed to be expecting the elfess to follow it, so she did. Once they reached the river, she would notice in the middle of the lake, many Makar would be swimming within the lake, however one with tattoos would emerge from the lake and begin making its way towards Medea. The creature's trunk was long and its body was covered in scales, however the artistic design had meaning behind it. Mist began to disperse and a monk arose, a smile rested upon his face as he held his beads close. From behind, Ember would walk up to stand next to Medea. The monk and Ember would exchange bows and then the monk and Medea would do the same. The monk would begin to speak in ancient blah, but to Medea’s ears she would hear Vikelian and common. “Bonayla Valvyol Riene” The monk greeted Medea. “I am Qu’ spirit of mending and relaxation. I am not greater than who keeps this domain, she is more powerful than us, but I represent her many forms of healing, what is it that you seek?” The monk asked Medea. “I wish to make a pact of Healing, Health and Vitality.” Medea would politely answer the monk. “Time is the fire in which we burn, memories are the nail in which we all step on and remember the pain later on. You wish to learn the arts of healing without being healed yourself…hmmm?” The Monk seemed rather intrigued about Medea as he got close and examined her. Medea would have a sad expression upon her face as she would remember all her memories she had not yet healed from. “That is true..I myself have not been healed and it will be a long time before I am fully healed. But I hope that with this, I will be able to move on from the past, letting all my scars close and be able to live on knowing that even though I could help the people from my past, I can continue to live on to help others in the future.” “I wish to see what you can do, build the healer a shrine, bring forth new spiritualists, and build a temple for her and us.” The monk said while looking down at Medea with a smile of encouragement. “Once you do this, and master all there is on this gift, you will be the first of your kind to follow us. Be happy and heal the heart, mind and soul of others.” Medea nodded to the monk’s request “I understand.” “Now go forth.” With those last words from the monk, Medea would be returned to the mortal realm.
