The Lost Wishing WellThere's a tale among the locals, told and passed down from generation to generation. They say that there's a magical wishing well that appears in the forest every full moon, and if you drop a gold coin inside it'll grant you a wish. However, it rarely appears twice in the same place, so finding it is extremely challenging. Still, there are old folks who swear that they tossed in a coin and were granted their heart's desire. They're always rather sketchy on the details, however. Perhaps their memory is going in their old age, or maybe they're just having trouble keeping their stories straight...

Eli had left the town of Lux long behind her, she could still feel Kelly in some distant land far away light and bubbly and if Eli closed her eyes she could see her face as if it was reflecting off water. Trogdor was also there humming around in her mind like a free spirit she could never truly tame, now she would want to. She left him after healing the dragon and spent the past few weeks traveling the lands sometimes by boat, horse or simply walking. She had even become better using her powers and it took less effort and fewer energies to perform the tasks which when she started her journey drained her.
She wasn't particularly sure where she was anymore, she followed the stars at night and tried to follow her instinct which worked at least eighty percent of the time. This time, however, was a part of the twenty percent. She stumbled around until she found herself walking into a clearing. Looking up she could see the amber filled sky and she guessed it was getting dark quickly. She eyed a soft bit of ground next to a tree and made her way over to it.
Throwing off her now large backpack which possessed all her survival belongings, Eli pulled ou her camping supplies. She unfolded her hammock and tarp which protected her from the elements. It didn't take long to sort her camp and soon she had a raging fire, one she had lit with a flick of her fingers. She also had no trouble finding firewood.
The sun had set and the sky was a beautiful deep blue color, the 'in-between time' that wasn't completely day and wasn't completely night. Eli always thought it was a magical moment where two opposites co-excited at once.

Eli's crackling fire provided warmth and comfort, making the little forest clearing seem almost cozy. As the sun set and the moon rose, the sounds of the forest changed from the chattering of squirrels to the hooting of owls and the fluttering of bats. As she sat by the fire, she'd hear a soft ringing behind her, like a collection of soft bells. If she turned around, she'd notice a rather decrepit old well that almost certainly hadn't been there just a moment before. Despite the dust, it seemed to sparkle in the firelight. If Eli inspected the worn stone more closely, she'd see an inscription, almost illegible with age. Toss a coin Ask a favor
A faint light seemed to glow at the bottom of the well, although it could easily be a trick of the light. The bucket was still tied to the rope, and sat beside the well. Although it was worn, there was no doubt that it would hold water.

Eli had jumped from her seat fingers crackling with electricity when the ringing started, what was before an empty clearing now a wishing well appeared across from her camp shimmering into existence in the moonlight. She walked up to the well her hands still cracking as she read a faint inscription. Frowning she bent over and grounded herself letting the electricity flow from her hand and into the ground.
Standing back up she bent over the well and looked into the water which glowed ever so lightly. She paced around the well looking for any other signs or marking but all there was, was a bucket tied by a rope which was clearly old and weather. She made a full 360 inspection before stopping again at the front where the words had been carved. She sucked in a gulp and slowly eased her hand to the water's edge.

Eli's inspection would reveal another inscription on the other side of the well, in carefully-carved script: Good things come to those who are kind.
Besides that, however, it looked like any old ordinary well. Moss grew on the weathered stone, and the wooden cover was battered and worn with age. It clearly hadn't been maintained very well. However, this could be forgiven as clearly it wasn't even there until just a few moments before, which would make it hard to perform any regular maintenance. The waterline was about seven or eight feet down into the well, and there was no way Eli would be able to reach it with her hand. If she listened closely, however, she would hear what sounded like a soft croak at the bottom of the well.
The light at the bottom shined a little brighter, and if Eli looked, she'd see a small froglike silhouette swimming about at the bottom of the well. It croaked again, and looked up at her with large amphibian eyes.

Eli recoiled withdrew her arm after her hand did not touch any water and instead just felt the cold dark dampness that was clinging to the walls of the well, the two different inscriptions caused her to frown even more and when she spotted the frog at the bottom of the well she jumped back.
She approached the well once more this time steadying herself on the stones and looked over down to the frog. "Oh you poor thing, how did you get down there" she said sadly her voice echoing of the wells walls.

Illuminated by the light from under the water, the frog looked up forlornly at Eli. It croaked softly, and splashed about in the water. How the unfortunate amphibian had ended up in there was anyone's guess. There weren't any streams or ponds nearby. Then again, there wasn't a well nearby either, until just a few moments prior. The frog croaked once more, then coughed. All of a sudden, it spoke in a very soft and froggy voice, barely audible from all the way down in the well.
"Oh, won't you please help me? I'm stuck down here in this well, and I can't climb up. Please help me, I think there's something under the water that's going to eat me if I don't get out soon. It's very deep, you know. There aren't many flies to eat down here either, and I'm very hungry."

Eli's eyes widened in shock surprise. "You... You can speak" She said more to herself as if to cement the fact the frog down in the well had just spoken to her. Shaking the surprise from her face she stepped away and assessed the situation. It didn't take long for Eli to come up with a plan and she hefted the bucket over the side so it dangled loosely in thee well.
"Watch your, urm. Head" She said unsure if frogs even used the same phrases she would in describing their body. "Im sending down a bucket" With that she stepped tot he side and began unwinding the rope.

Since the attack on the Hunting Legion Camp, Wah had run through the forest without stopping. He was terrified panting heavily and had tears in his eyes, this whole experience had been a nightmare so far. Whenever he believed he was going to get home something bad happened, people died. He had no idea if he was moving further away from home or what, but he needed to create as much distance as he could to become safe again. Unknown to him, a friend of his father was right near him during the attack, but Jun had not noticed the child.
With night now here, things were even scarier, he could barely see anything and all the sounds in the forest could be monsters. "Waaaaaaaa!"
Wah's high voice wailed before he trips on a root and goes flying forward, luckily being caught in Eli's hammock and tumbling around in it until the hammock finally dumped him out on the ground. His dress was now draped over his head exposing most of his nude lizard body (he doesn't wear anything under the gown except thigh high socks) conveniently though his tail hung in a way that blocked visibility of his danger zone. Wah is now on his back with bottom half hanging over his upper half and he can't see, he didn't know his gown was covering his face. "AH! I must have run into a spider web! EEK!"
He tries to wipe his face but is disoriented, his feet touch the ground now and he realizes he is folded over himself so her shifts his weight to roll to a sitting position. He finally gets his dress out of his face and covers himself up again. One could assume at first that Wah is a girl because of how he sounds and how he is dressed, he seems like a girl from a human's perspective, Eli also wouldn't have seen his willie since the view was blocked.

"Oh thank you, miss! You're so very sweet. I thought for sure I would starve to death in there, or get eaten by whatever lurks beneath. I fell in last month, and it's been a very long time since I've seen anybody at all."
As soon as the bucket reached the water, the frog hopped in. It landed on the bottom with a rather wet plop, as though someone had dropped a slightly overripe tomato into the bucket. However, the frog seemed unharmed, and he stared up at Eli and croaked happily.
"I'm inside, miss! Thank you again for all your help!"
As she pulled him up, Eli would see that it was a rather greenish bullfrog with large eyes and moist bumpy skin. It sparkled slightly, as though it had been dusted with glitter.

'A month' she thought sadly as the frog came more into the moonlight and she could make out more features. Firstly the frog was larger than she first made out and had green sparkly skin "It's no problem at all!" She said still turning the cogs when a large commotion behind her caught her attention. She was now half looking over her shoulder half trying to still turn the cogs which grew heavier and stiffer as if the well itself didn't want to let go of the frog. "Can you jump?" She said holding out her left hand her right still on the handle.
From the view over her shoulder, she could just about make out a figure tossing around in her hammock. 'The cheek of it' she grumbled in her mind.

The sparkly little frog hopped onto Eli's hand, neatly filling her palm. Immediately, his mouth opened and his tongue snapped out, catching a small mosquito from right next to Eli's face. The frog swallowed it with a satisfied gulp, immediately looking for another.
"Yes, thank you very much! I could have sworn there was something under there, rising to the surface...but it doesn't matter now! I'm safe! You're such a kind young lady...I was worried that you wouldn't notice me and start throwing coins down into the well. Gold coins hurt, especially when flung from such a height. Um...is that your friend?"
The frog gestured with a foreleg towards the lizard creature currently entangled in Eli's hammock. Meanwhile, the glowing light in the well slowly began to become brighter, and Eli would experience an odd nagging sensation in her mind, as though there were something she'd forgotten.

Eli tucked in her hands and held the frog against her chest as she turned and looked at the creature shaking itself free of her now broken hammock. "I don't, no." She said confused as a weird pinching feeling crept up her spine and dug its icy claws into her head. For a moment she went still and then the iciness was gone. She was left with a weird tingling sensation as if she was trying to remember a dream.
"Urm Hello?" She said still holding the from close to her chest his moist skin making her hands feel damp and up against her chest her clothes as well. Eli was looking in the direction of the creature.

"Mama? Is that you?" He was still dizzy for a few seconds then could finally see Eli, "-Oh. No, it's a Tall One."
Wah poised him self in a somewhat fearful way, nervous if he's safe or if this tall one could choose to hurt him. "H-Hi..."
After a few moments he gets more comfortable and becomes just shy, "I'm lost. I don't want to die. I'm having a bad time today... my friend died, I met him while I was lost."
So far there didn't seem to be aggression so Wah assumed it was safe again. He became much more comfortable then looks back at the hammock, and bows his head like his Dad taught him for being respectful, "Sorry miss. I think I hurt your bed."

The frog let out a muffled croak as it was suddenly squished against Eli's chest. After a moment, it spoke softly, face squished against the fabric of Eli's tunic.
"I'm very grateful miss, and I'm sure you mean well...but if you could loosen up a little bit, it'd be much appreciated. You're sort of crushing me. I'm really rather delicate, and frogs squish easily."
Meanwhile, the nagging feeling in her head would escalate to a rapidly increasing sense of dread. Something terrible was about to happen, something was getting closer...but she wouldn't be able to quite place what it was yet. She could almost tell, but it was just out of reach, like a word on the tip of her tongue.
A small moth would land on Wah's head.

Eli was startled at the frog's voice but did as he asked by loosening her grip of the frog. Eli turned her attention back to the odd creature in front of her. "I think hurt is an understatement, you've sent it to the bed equivalent of heaven" She sighed.
Eli moved forward but as she did Eli lost her balance as an overwhelming feeling hit her like a stampeding bull. She let go of the frog with a cry clutching her head as she fell helplessly to the ground, the memory would not just be ripped from her mind but also her willstones which held all her memories and her body and stones reacted like white blood cells do to bactaria.
"Whats... happening" She breathed electricity crackling along her skin and lashing out in random directions, something was attacking her... again but she couldn't quiet say what.

"Uwa, are you in trouble miss?" Wah backs up a little to be safe. He wasn't sure what could be happening to her or if there was a way he could help. The kobold looked at Eli's hand and saw a frog, he crouches down and looks at the human and frog carefully. "Can I help with anything?"

The frog, alarmed, hopped away from Eli as she fell. After all, he didn't want to be crushed by the young witch as she fell. He croaked nervously, unsure as to what to do as Eli laid on the ground and electricity crackled around her. When the scaly creature approached him, he hopped away in fright. He'd never seen a lizard creature like that before, but all the experience he'd had with scaly creatures was that most of them tried to eat him.
Meanwhile, the sense of dread in Eli's mind would escalate more and more, the source tantalizingly close but still just out of reach. The well glowed brighter, illuminating the clearing with a sickly yellow light. All of a sudden, the feeling would increase and Eli would realize what was causing the dread. A face would flash in her mind, a face that she'd last seen fleeing into the woods away from a burning inn. A woman, cold and cruel. Just as she recognized this, the water in the well rose to the edge, overflowing and spilling out into the clearing. As the water seeped towards the campfire, something would break the surface and begin to rise. The woman in Eli's mind, the sister that she'd inadvertently created, climbed from the well and stepped into Eli's camp. Unlike the last time they'd seen each other, she wore traditional witch's robes, complete with a pointed hat. Smiling, Ms. Crowley addressed Eli.
"Well well well...hello there, little girl."

Eli's eyes widened as the woman she had created... her sister emerged from the well and addressed her. She pulled herself up from the ground and set herself between Crowley and the creature that had ransacked her camp "I didn't expect to see you again " she said her voice more steely than she expected.
"And don't call me little girl, technically you're younger than me since I made you" she crossed her arms "And I see you're up to your normal tricks, I must say I am disappointed. A magical well really sister?"

Eli had done a good job when she created the woman standing before her. Her "sister" was tall and slender, and looked like she'd just stepped out of a painting. Anyone would consider her beautiful, if it weren't for the cold, cruel gaze.
"This body may be younger than you, little girl, but I've been around for a lot longer than you have. Magical wells are so useful, don't you agree? Coins are tossed, children occasionally fall in...the only problem is that you get the occasional frog landing on your head."
She glanced over at the little frog, who cowered and croaked softly. Opening a fold of her robe, a fountain of gold coins poured from within, spilling into the camp and covering the ground in glittering gold.
"There's so pretty, don't you think? With these, and this body you've given me...I can get anything I want in the world. It's so much more fun to take what I like, though..."
Eli would know all about her antics, raiding homes and accosting travelers to drain them of their energy. After all, she'd been magically linked to her since her creation.
