Burned Bones and Broken Souls {1x1 with DarkMudkip}

[Jikkah]

Elvira looked down at the ground, a sad smile on her face. "I'd like to think so."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Sorry..." She muttered, "That was insensitive.."

 

[Jikkah]

"No..! Don't worry about it, you haven't insulted me..!" She said, sitting down on the ground.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"You sure...?" Meadow searched and found a couple candles and a flashlight

 

[Jikkah]

"Yeah..! You can ask me anything." She said.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Do you have any regrets...?" She asked, moving over

 

[Jikkah]

"About when I was alive? Or being a witch?" She asked, looking at Meadow.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"About anything...just...regrets.." She said, sitting down

 

[Jikkah]

"I guess... I regret not moving away from the village. It would've been safer, but you can only keep secrets for so long." She said.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Maybe that's why you're still here?" She asked

 

[Jikkah]

"I don't know why I'm here, I've been trying to figure that out for the longest time." She looked at her semi-transparent hand and frowned. "I'm not angry... At least not that I can really tell.."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Maybe you feel bad for leaving Nora behind...so you stay here to protect your house for her..." She suggested

 

[Jikkah]

Elvira's eyes became misty and she nodded. "Maybe... I'm not sure.. It just feels a bit cloudy in my head... I guess." She shook her head. "I don't know, anything else you want to know?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I'm a little afraid to ask anything more, you look really sad.." She frowned

 

[Jikkah]

Elvira looked over at Meadow, a crooked smile on her face. "Don't worry about it, it's just nostalgic talking about all of this, I've never had someone to talk to in decades."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"If I could bring Nora back..." She muttered softly

 

[Jikkah]

Elvira's eyes widened. "Bringing the dead back to life? No..! I don't think that's a good idea... I don't think even the most experienced witches even tried that."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I said if..." She mumbled, "Its not like I can..."

 

[Jikkah]

"Well... My notes..." She made a thoughtful face. "I don't think they were destroyed.. Maybe they were taken to a museum..? Are there any nearby?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I think there's one in town.." She answered, "Why...?"

 

[Jikkah]

"Because my notes may have been preserved there." She said with a smile.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"What would anyone want your notes for, Vira...?" She asked curiously.

 

[Jikkah]

"To show that witches exsisted and the 'black magic' the preformed." She said, making air quotes around black magic. "Most of the writing has been encrypted so that not just anyone can read and try to perform it."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Tomorrow we should go check it out.." Meadow said

 

[Jikkah]

"Really? You'd do that for me?" She perked, eyes twinkling.
