All previous parts can be read in my LJ at http://pulliplife.livejournal.com, its also my normal nondolly lj but you can only see my usual ramblings if you friend me, so if you dont friend me you should be safe to just read back issues of the story.
Mint: You know holly, Nina, hates me. She has every right to hate me the way I treated her when she was a child.
Holly: Im sure she doesnt actually HATE hate you. shes understandably upset though. I still cant figgure out how you look so young considering you're her mum though. You look almost the same age as us.
Mint: Its really quite simple really....well not simple as such. The power I have, its like time travel only instead of between times I jump between dimensions. Like how I rescued you from dementia, we were in a different dimension then. I can hop from one to another and whilst it takes alot of power and i feel weak afterwards, it also for some unknown reason keeps me youthfull it also gives me other powers, white magic mainly. healing and the ability to feel peoples emotions. Dimensions all live in co-existance on top of one another. some are more advanced than others, some are safe some are dangerous. I have anchors in this world and the netherworld so i can jump quite easily between the two.
Holly: when you say anchors what do you mean?
Mint: ...........Well you see Nina is...
Nina: Mum. I want to talk with you.
Mint: Oh nina, we were just talking about you and the proph....
Nina: Mum...look..stop and listen to me okay.
Mint: .........okay
Nina: I feel really hurt and abandonned, even more so now that you've returned from what I assumed, was the dead. But you came back and I dont think it was easy for you to do that. Actually I think it was pretty brave. I dont like you very much at the moment, and i dont know whether i'll ever beable to love or trust you again. But I think I need to at least give you a chance
Mint: Im sorry i had to drag you back into the past by returning. It would have been better for you and your friend here, if I had just dissapeared into obscurity. But you do need my help whether you know it or not. The prophecy must be fullfilled and its picked you two to fullfill it
Mint: Speaking of the prophecy we dont have much time left, our window of opportunity shrinks with each passing hour, we must get ready for the travelling we're about to do
Nina: Travelling? Mum, im not going anywhere. We need to sit and discuss things as adults, not run away from our problems.
Mint: There will be plenty of time for chatting, but cant you feel the pull? An inexplicable knot in your stomache as if something important is about to happen.
Nina: yeah but I thought thats because i was talking to you, my mother, the woman i havent seen since I was about 5, whom im deeply confused about right about now.
Mint: Nina i promise to answer everyones questions, once everyones dressed and kitted up for the journey, i've taken the liberty of laying out clothing on both of your beds that ive protected with white magic. You dont have to wear what ive chosen for you but it would be advisable.
Nina/Holly.....*both wander off to get dressed feeling somewhat confused*
Mint: I wish it didnt have to be like this....I wish there was some other way
*half an hour later*
Holly: Wow I feel so....Dr Who. I would never wear this sort of thing but somehow it just feels right for me, dont you think? I feel like i can come up with overly sarcastic comments and get away with them
Nina: yeah yeah speak for yourself, at least you dont look like some kind of lolita reject. I mean seriously, I feel like a maid.
holly: Oh nina, you look fantastic...for once...and could you fetch my bags?
Nina: Hey whats that supposed to mean?
Holly: No comment...hehehe
Nina: Well mum we're back. Interesting choice of outfits. I feel like im off to a cosplay or sci-fi convention.
Mint: You both look good. But the icing on the cake is I have to give you your weapons now.
Nina/Mint: Weapons?!?
Mint: Yep Weapons. Holly you first, stand up and put your hands out palm upwards. Try to clear your mind
Holly: Its pretty difficult to clear your head when someones told you they can dimension jump and has picked out magically protected clothing for you and is about to give you weaponry for what outcome I have no idea. forgive me but its not my usual tuesday afternoon.
Mint: I understand that, but please do as I say
Nina: Dimension jump? mum?
Mint: I'll tell you all about it later dear
Holly: *sighs*...err...alright....hands out like this?
Mint: Yep thats perfect....by the power of mana invested in me, Appear weapon of light.
*poof*
holly: WOW! Its a gun.
Nina: No...no holly... Its a COOL gun!
Mint: Its what your heart felt it needed. I dont know anything about the weapon for it is an extension of your soul. protect it because it is part of you.
holly: thankyou. I really dont understand, but I'll keep it safe...I've never fired a gun before though. So im not sure what good it'll do. I was hoping for some pepper spray or something
Nina: Holly Its a really REALLY cool gun!!
Mint: If you should need to use it im sure the bullets will fly true. You just need to be strong of heart and character. .....Nina, you're next
Nina: Oh oooh this is exciting. I want something big... a rocket launcher would be cool, or a bazooka, maybe some samurai swords or nun-chucka or something... how cool would THAT be.
Mint: Nina. To clear your mind, you need to be quiet
Nina: If i put my hands out this wide it'll hafta be some impressively big weapon
Mint: Nina, shush...
Nina: oh? Sorry...im clearing my head now okay
Mint: By the power of mana invested in me, appear weapon of light!
*poof*
 .
Nina: Its....a .....staff.
Nina: Awww man how lame is that??? a staff??? Cant you do it again. Make it a masamune sword or some high tech lazer gun or something. I mean whats a girl gonna do with this, its all a bit pansy.
Mint: Dont judge a book by its cover. Your heart and soul chose the appearance of your weapon so you've noone to blame but yourself. You're also the one with the scroll. Its power is in you. You're in effect our compass. Only you can point us in the right direction. Perhaps your weapon compliments your scroll. Call the scrolls name out and it will appear
Nina: It doesnt have a name. Its just a bit of possessed paper..
*falls silent for a minute as she thinks of the scroll then speaks feeling a little frightened as she feels information she didnt know she had, bubble up into her consiousness out of nowhere*
Nina: NO wait...It does have a name.....its called ashram.
*the staff suddenly transforms into the scroll*
Nina: It...looks different.
Ashram: I look different for you have awakened me. I am now in my true form. thanks to you, dream walker. Only you can hear me for we are bonded, you and I. Like soulmates.
Nina:....okay, this really isnt what i was expecting.
Ashram: regardless of what you were or were not expecting, we need to be moving east. To a house.
Nina: the house!!....when Holly revealed the prophecy a few days ago I felt the need to go into town... to an abandonned house!!! *feels excited*
Ashram: yes. There. You will find something not to your liking, but something that must be seen
Nina: why must everyone speak in riddles? can you not just give me a straight answer?
Ashram ......
Nina: ..............
Ashram: .....................*transforms back into the staff*
Nina: *sighs*...okay...I guess that means no. fine.
Nina: The scroll says we have to head east into town. Theres a house there.
Holly: A house? In a town? Who'd have thought?
Nina: ....This is going to be a long journey
*to be continued*
