"You can go ahead. An interpretor is always valued." There are many reasons why there can be that value, though, Xapneir thought devilishly. Looking around, he wondered whether it was even possible for anything to grow. Turning to Erica he said, "So. Do you remember my name?" He doubted she would, but it was worth a shot. Why he would -want- her to is another matter entirely, but for now it was a good enough idea just to play nice.
Anubis walked up to the black, round pool and kneeled.
He put one finger in the water and swished it around a little.
"Lady Greenteeth...," he said softly in her language.
His voice was less inflammatory and grim now. It almost sounded gentle, sweet.
"Come to me my love...," he said. "I have a gift for a gift..."
The pool's surface stirred. A webbed blue-green hand slid out of the water, and wrapped itself around Anubis' wrist. The nails of the hand were yellow and cracking.
Anubis turned and said to the group in a common tongue, "Do any of you have any gold, silver, or jewelry?"

Pine watched in awe as Anubis went up, she almost felt a little hypnotized from the voice, it sounded like a gentle lullaby. As Anubis turned back to his normal voice she jumped and backed away. Panic was forming inside her, she didn't want to be hypnotized.((Yeah, that was!))
Xapneir side-stepped away from Inglades. Couldn't he have a moment of silence? He watched Anubis, interested. He had never seen anything like what he was doing before. The language he spoke was melodic. "What language was that? It was very unlike anything I've ever heard before."
Sylvan, that was what it was called, pine took a couple more paces back, ready to bolt. She hated this language for it's beauty.
Anubis took Eragon's dagger, ignoring everyone's compliments. He offered it to the water spirit, who had popped half of her face out of the water. She pushed it away, releaving the rest of her face.
She then tapped her cracking lips and smiled a green-toothed smile.
Anubis smiled himself. "She wants one of you to kiss her."

Pine looked around. There was no way she would volinteer, she couldn't even stand the things voice. "Why don't you do it, oh big tough Eragon?"
Shaya heard voices. Finally she found them. Not trusting the water and what it may or may not do, Shaya ran all the way around trying to get to the other side.
inglades knew where this was headed, and as disgusting as this was, if he had to to avenge his brothers in arms, he would. "i'll do it" inglades said grimly
She then tripped and splashed in the water. "Ewwww!" she hissed. She sat in the water for a minuet. Something was wrong, a creatur is comunicating with a surface being, crap Jumping up Shaya kept running, praying Pine and the others were the ones talking to one of the waters creatures.
Pine looked everywhere to stop herself from looking at the water creature, she hated it so much. She spotted a moving speck somewhere, it was getting closer, who was it? "Someones coming towards us!" Pine yelled, taking out her dagger.
"Sick!" Shaya muttered her foot slopping in more goo, "Pine!" She called.
((arg g2g!))
((arg g2g!))
Pine narrowed her eyes, that voice was so familiar, she put the dagger away and thought for a second. "Shaya!" She exclamed.
"Yes!" SHaya breathed, "Bad," Shaya coughed hard, "Ok much better, the water somthing is up with it, at the river I was crossing it, well of course I calmed it and stopped it, but then it like acted out and through me around, and so somthing is totally off balance and,"
Shaya then saw Lady Greenteeth and took a step back and spoke slowly, "Um whats happening with you guys?"
Shaya then saw Lady Greenteeth and took a step back and spoke slowly, "Um whats happening with you guys?"
Greenteeth smiled at Shaya, then looked to Inglades. She held two arms out, gesturing for him to come closer.
"Yeah, you know I dont think I want to know either," Shaya said as Inglades slowly inched towards Lady Greenteeth.
The water spirit giggled at Inglade's disgust. She reached out to touch him as he came closer.
Anubis stood and stepped back.
Anubis stood and stepped back.
Erica stared up at the green monster. She didn't want to dissapoint the man by saying she didn't know his name, So she stayed silent. Someone new was in the clearing now. "Who are you?"
inglades reluctantly kissed the spirit, fighting with all of his willpower not to step back, spit out the vile taste, or to lean over and vomit. then it was over.
Erica gagged at the spit around his mouth. she couldn't help it. She stared at the spirit. something was familiar about her. She stepped closer. "What's your name?"
The spirit looked into Erica's human eyes. She spoke, and then Anubis translated.
"She says, 'You know my name already.'"
"She says, 'You know my name already.'"
The spirit reached out to Erica, touching her face with her webbed fingers.
The touch felt soft on her cheek. She closed her eyes seaarching for the familiarity. She could sense something at the back of her mind. She reached towards it and felt the solid wall. she pushed her mind against the barrier. She could feel it breaking under her power. Then all the memory's she was missing flooded into her mind. They felt like a knife driving into her brain. She screamed in pain. "Vira" She gasped.
inglades withdrew as soon as he could without offending the spirit, wiping his mouth and taking a long sip from his wineskin
Erica sobbed and sobbed. She couldn't believe what she had done. Everything was back and new memories of never believing. All the old pain came back.
"is there any way i can help?" for a moment, the thoughts, horrible memories of his brother's death, were gone in his concern for his friend. then they were upon him again, with renewed fury
erica could sense his anguish. She looked up at his face. "II don't know. I just feel horrible again. I haven't felt this way since..... "

"That's it," he said, motioning to a an unnaturally dark and round patch of bog. It had absolutely no animals or vegetation near it, which was strange for such a fertile place.
"I'll talk to her, since I know her language, but if you don't trust me with that either..." Anubis laughed to himself.
