"Thank you Aria, I'll be back out in a bit, please relax while I'm talking with Damien okay?" Aurura smiled softly before entering the library looking around for Damien. "Damien? are you okay?" she asked as she walked around looking at all the books while she also looking for Damien hoping to comfort him

Aria simply bowed her head before turning and leaving Aura. She made her way around the house inspecting everything. She finally ended up at the kitchen as she started taking inventory. She stared at the beautiful furnishing wishing she could feel them for once. Cold, smooth, rough, hot,...such words didn't have much meaning to her anymore. Just as food didn't apple to her. She wondered what some foods tasted like. The thoughts lead her to thinking if she had ever tasted them? Did she like them before the curse? She slowly made her way around the large kitchen and paused as she came to her own spell books. She let her hands run across the ruby jewels on the outside of her books that matched her necklaces. She had no physical feeling however she could feel the power from them. She gently open one of her old book as she flipped through finding a simple spell for Aura. The girl had to eat and at the current moment there wasn't any food. Once the garden was fully revived there would be plenty except grains and meat. That would be something they would have to get in the village.
She closed her eyes as she thought hard on the words before saying them. It would take her a few times to get it right but she had a little while she figured to practice.

Damien shifted his attention from his study as he heard Aura's voice. He couldn't hide his panic and she would have to see his family. He finally stopped moving as he tried to compose himself. Aura was a good person and maybe just maybe she could help him find the files. "They are gone...." He said in a frantic voice still as he tried to calm himself. He waited after a while and finally spoke normal. There was still a slight hint of hurt and stress in his voice as he spoke again. " This is where the Lady put me. I don't have magic like the others. I can' help with love spells or make potions to help someone fall in love. I can tell you however the traits someone looks in another person. I can manipulate shadows and talk to animals. I can even enchant books and put entire histories in them. That is why the lady put me here. She said I was valuable with my gifts. However I think she was just being kind to me. Aria is gifted for match making and can use her magic to whip up a love spell or things around the house. And Zaylic he is the potion master. He can also manipulate moonlight and turn it into a dust that he can make beautiful items from. Me I'm just here. I-I kept the book that held the information of my family out. It has always rested on my side table beneath the picture I ripped from it of my family. It's gone and I don't understand why or how." He said as he looked over his desk again. " I know it's pathetic but it made the curse not so bad. I-I....if it really has been that long I missed everything. I missed getting crown king...my little sisters growing up. I missed my sisters weddings their birthdays....I wondered if they even missed me as much as I missed them. " He said as he clinched his feast together and slammed them onto one of his large wooden desk tops.

" I had responsibility and a family to protect before this retched curse. " He said as the pain he felt was ease to hear in his voice. "She kept saying this would help me. I was fine the way I was. She had never had someone betray her that was suppose to be her one and only. The witch and her self righteous lies has never once in her life felt anger, or betrayal. I was here long enough to know she didn't feel any emotions other than what she viewed as love. " He screamed out as he stared right at Aura. "And now there is another one just like her! Your just the same aren't you?" He spat out full of hate and anger. "You self righteous withes have no idea about the world. You are all sheltered by the temple. Does this look like I'm being helped? My family is dead and I have no idea about how they lived or not because of you self righteous witches!!! My Kingdom was under attack when the curse was put upon me. This isn't love's doing it's witches like you doing instead. Your nothing but a nightmare dressed like a day dream. " He said full of disgust as he turned looking at the painting of his family.

" I am punished because the person I loved betrayed me and put my family in danger. I think I have a right to be angry. And who decided that some self righteous girl who has never felt pain, hunger, anger, or knows what responsibility truly is to pass judgment on people she honestly doesn't know? " He asked coldly as he stood there. He closed his eyes he tried to calm himself. He felt guilty knowing it wasn't Aura's fault for this....."I....I don't think highly of your kind. The witch who did this to me didn't do it for love. If you truly are different from her than can you help me find the book with my family please. And I will keep my eyes and mind open about you before I past judgment on you like she did me. I am sorry for being so harsh with my words. It just makes me so angry. I had a life before this curse and to learn it's gone in a flash. What am I suppose to do now? What is freeing us going to save Aura? The other two are in worse shape than I am in. Aria doesn't even know her real name or her own identity. And Zaylic is losing his and it's killing him. If you could free us why would you. Look at us Aura really look at us. We can't blend into your world. The people we loved are gone. Our worlds are gone. Even if you could free us the only peace we would find is in death. Aura do you honestly think if you freed us people would trust us? Even you said the elders tell our story to scare children. What jobs could we have? Not many people can use magic. The only things we are good at are here. So even if you broke our curse what do we have to look forward to now? I don't think you ever thought of that when they told you those stories. I'm sure they didn't tell you that each of us was not only cursed but taken from our families by force. That our loved ones came to the gates here and cried. That is the reason for that barrier. " He said as he looked over his shoulder seeing a beautiful red colored book that glowed softly. "I know about Aria's past and I know Zaylic's but to show them now I feel is wrong. They where the reasons the witch locked herself in here. Their families came after the witch to kill her for taking them. None of them fought like Aria's brother. He loved her more than the world it's self. You have been taught that we cursed love. But you never heard why because the witch and the elders never wanted it to get out why. Each of us have a story Aura and we aren't the villeins that you keep hearing. " He said as he gently reached down and picked up Aria's book. He saw a book that was silver with a slight white glow to it and picked it up as well as he sat the books down for Aura. " When the Match makers started they where for love and beautiful people. However the witch that cursed us is the only one in the eternity that has ever dared to do so. She crossed a line that was never suppose to be crossed. I think you should read Aria's, and Zaylics stories and then read your own story of Match makers before you really decide to help us or not. " He said as he held out his hand. A large book appeared from the center of the room as he landed with a thud on the desk. " I...am going to try and find my own book. If you need anything I will help you. I am sorry for my outburst. "

Aura listened with kind and sad eyes trying to hold back the tears before doing something that would probably really surprise Damien. She moved before he could go off and hugged him tears starting to fall before she pulled away and looked at him a frown on her face and a very sad look to her. "Damien... i am so... so very sorry. It may not seem like it but I really understand how you feel... but not completely since it's a different situation. When I was little I lived in a larger town a bit away from the temple town. I lived with my mother, father, and four of my five siblings. There weren't hardly any mages in that town... in fact I think there was only three including me, my brother and another. When I was really young a fire broke out thanks to the other mage in the town and the entire town burned town. My family had nothing to do with it but the surviving townsfolk blamed them... they tried to protect me... I was the youngest along with my twin sister... but... but they..." She paused as tears ran from her yes as she closed them to take a deep breath before continuing.

"I loved my family so much... and they loved me and everyone else... my parents tried to talk to the townspeople but they just wouldn't listen... they... tortured my parents in front of me and my siblings and then started to pick us off one by one. My oldest brother had been away but came back us in time to see me and my sister trying to hold onto each other... he made a really hard choice and snatched me away running away with me... my sister Aurum screamed for me... but... I don't know what happened to her... we had nowhere to go... we had no family... no friends.... my brother took me to the temple and that's when the book came down... the mages wouldn't let my brother into the temple... and... he... he tried to make them let me go so I could live with him once he had a job but they wouldn't.... they said he was unfit to take care of me... he came to the temple every day for a very long time... wanting me back... until one day he just didn't show up..." she sobbed a little before forcing herself to calm.

"I-it's horrible, painful, devistating and agonizing to live without your family.... but... my family would have wanted me to live on and try to be happy... I'm sure yours want the same for you... so... I wanted to help you guys... because.... while the pain won't ever go away... finding someone or something you can be happy with will sooth it... it makes it bearable, and you can make new happy memories... create a new family, you are lucky even though you might not see it you already have something like a family, you have Aria and Zaylic and i think they care about you very much." she explained wiping her tears. "I'm sorry for the long story but I really want you to see that I just want to help... I don't want to cause more pain." she explained softly as she looked at him sadly but with allot of care in her eyes

Aura smiled as she hugged Damien back but then smiled a bit more as she closed her eyes feeling that he was warm. "Oh your warm" she murmured then pause. "You're warm.... you're warm! and soft! are you.... human again?!" she gasped in shock as she pulled away to look at him up and down then blushed a little but smiled happily. He was human again... opening up and helping him with his past is what he needed... but... for how long would be be human?

(oh their pics never showed up could you post it again?

Aura blushed but smiled and easily hugged Damien back then looked up to him her smile fading a bit but then it came back when she saw that he was still happy. "How about I see if i can help you find that book? I know you would really like to have it back." she offered with a smile hoping to make him feel a bit better about it and be able to spend time with him

Aura looked around but then frowned before looking at Damien and her eys suddenly turned to the color of his aura and she started to look around and spotted a certain glow that stuck out. She frowned as she saw it coming from a close cabinet well off the ground. Quickly she cast a spell to give her wings and she flew over to the area that was missing a latter and opened the doors before pulling out the book and her eyes sparkled the purple color for a moment before turning back to their rainbow color as she landed. "Here is this it Damien?" she asked softly as she offered him the book the wings she had summoned bursting into sparkles as she let go of the spell

Damien turned as he watched Aura say a spell. He was amazed when he saw the wings appear. He watched her in awe as she flew to a cabinet. He wondered why his book was there he hadn't remembered putting it there. He rarely used that cabinet. He honestly had only used it twice and that was under the orders of the lady. He was very relieved when she brought him back his book. He happily took it was he looked back at her in time to watch her wings burst into sparkles she looked magical as he stared at her unable to say anything else.

Zaylic walked through the house as he soon found Aria hard at work trying to work on the food spell. He didn't bother to acknowledge her instead he walked about the kitchen grabbing plates and placing them on a roll cart for her. He got down a new cup and a picture so Aria could make Aura something to drink along with the food and sweets. When he was finished he rolled it just in front of Aria as he stepped back so she could work. He watched as strange foods appeared he favorite was always the sweets. Everything was heart shaped and full of love because that was Aria's specialty. She still looked like a pro doing this as he watched the tray come together almost instantly. He was honestly impressed with her skill. He had always been impressed with her and her skills. Once she was done he simply took control of the roll cart. He rolled the food out to the garden so that Aura could eat out there. He cleaned up her tea and quickly placed the food on the table alone with the glass he had grabbed for her.

Aria looked up as Zaylic came in she said nothing focusing on the spells. She would have smiled if she could as Zaylic helped her by gathering everything on a roll cart for her. She cast her spell once he was done and was honestly impressed once he left with it without her saying a word. He was rather odd but she had always found him intriguing. He had a mouth on him but at his core he was one of the kindest men she had met. He was very considerate when he wanted to be. She looked around the kitchen as she wondered what she should do. Zaylic had taken care of dinner for her and the house was in great shape. She wondered how Aura was doing with Damien. He was sweet but still finding it hard to adjust to the curse. Of course at some point she had a hard time and so did Zaylic. Zaylic still had a hard time. But between the three Damien was much worse.

"Damien... I know whatever you read in that book will upset you even if nothing bad happened to them... please come to me if you need to talk about? I want to help you in whatever way I can, don't feel like you have to hesitate." Aurura said softly as she placed her hand on his shoulder gently. She then smiled a little at him. "I'm sure the others are worried so how about we see what they're doing?" she offered softly with a smile

Aura smiled at Damien before nodding and taking his arm this time before walking with him out to the garden where she thought the others would be wondering a bit if there was a way for her to show them that she could turn them back to normal Aria, Zaylic, while we were talking something amazing happened." she smiled easily really wanting to show them somehow so they could have hope like she could see Damien had started to feel as well.

Aria turned as she looked at Aura hearing her. "What happen? " She asked as she looked at the young women then shifted her eyes to Damien. "Did he show you his books? " She asked honestly wondering what had the young women so excited for some reason. She cut her eyes back to Damien as she noticed something in his eyes she had never seen. He looked happy it appeared. She couldn't be sure but she thought she saw happiness reflecting in his eyes.

Zaylic looked up as he finished with the table. "You saw the amazing food that Aria made for you. And you are impressed with our teamwork skills?" He said being a little smart with her. He wasn't trying to come off as a jerk he just thought she might notice the hard work Aria had put into making the food for the young women. He shifted his eyes to Damien as he saw something different in his eyes. He honestly wondered what had happen for Damien to look like that.

Damien happily accompanied Aura as he looked at the others. He cut his eyes to Zaylic though when he looked to the table he knew Zaylic was only trying to get Aura to notice the hard work they had put into fixing food for her. Zaylic was a strange man but he was a good one. He had a soft spot for Aria and Damien he would scold them and yell at them but defend them to the death if that was even possible for them. However he knew Aura wanted to tell them the good news and he was sure that both of them would be happy to hear.

Aura paused for a moment at Zaylic's words then smiled a little sheepishly. "I'm sorry everything does look and smell wonderful, I was so excited that I had forgotten to mention that." She smiled softly. "But I think you would both like to hear this.. since I'm not really sure if the moment's right for it to work. I think either when you guys feel close to someone else or during a bonding moment you can turn human again. That's just a thought though, honestly I'm not sure how it happened... when Damien hugged me after we talked he suddenly turned human again, it didn't last very long but he was certainly human." she explained with a smile but wondered a bit if she hugged him again if he would turn back to being a human for a little bit again? Or did he have to want to hug or comfort her? What about the others?

Damien looked from Aria to Zaylic as he saw they looks they where giving. He looked at Aura as he thought about her story and how kind she had been. He gently wrapped his arms around her as he kissed her forehead again. He felt the slight sensation as he could feel her once again. He adored this being able to feel her and just being human again. He gently turned his head still holding her close to him as he looked at the others. "Aura tells the truth see. " He said not wanting them to think she was just saying things. He looked back to her and smiled softly enjoying being able to smile and to hold her. " She really is amazing." He said as he gazed into her beautiful eyes.

Zaylic looked to Aria as he watched Damien being very froward with Aura. He watched as Damien changed. It was amazing he wasn't sure witch impressed him more how bold the man was or the lifting of the curse. However he knew it wasn't permit is was a start. He wondered if he and Aria should leave the two alone there looked to be a slight spark there. He watched how Damien looked at Aura and noticed that he looked at her with fondness and maybe even love. Was that the answer the whole time. They just had to find love.

Aura smiled easily when Damien hugged her and didn't seem bothered at all as she smiled back at him then at the others. "I don't know if it's the same for you two but in any case I'll start looking through all the spell books that I can find in the library to see if I can find out how to lengthen you all being human or even break the curse." she explained softly clearly wanting nothing more then to help all three of them... but she had to admit she did love the feeling of being close to Damien... but she couldn't just save him... that wouldn't do, she needed to help all three of them as much as she could.

Damien let go of Aura finally as he walked over to her chair and pulled it out for her. He looked at one of the sweets and wiped his finger through one of the mini cakes. He tasted it and just smiled it was nice to taste things for once. He looked to Aria and Zaylic as he removed his finger from his mouth and shifted back into his doll form. He looked over to Aura before speaking. " If you like I will go spend sometime in the library searching for the spell for you, if you don't mine. As dolls we really can't eat and I think all of us are done with sleep for a while." He said as he felt the other two just staring at Aura.

Aura smiled and nodded to Damien. "I would appreciate that, anything to do with love curses, spells and doll spells should do, thank you." she smiled easily before looking to the others wondering why they were staring at her without saying anything. She easily picked up one of the cupcakes and took a bite out if it smiling easily and happily. "Ooh this is very tasty, as is the tea, thank you Aria, and thank you Zaylic for setting the table." she smiled after taking a few sips of her tea then waited to see if they would say anything to her, if not she would just ask what was on their minds.

Aria bowed happy that Aura liked what she had made. "I made you sandwiches of different kinds to go with it along with sides my....Aura." She said use to saying Master or My lady. She looked up hearing what Damien had to say. She wondered if he would allow her to help him. "May I help Damien?" She asked as he seemed to agree to her request. She bowed to Aura before leaving with him. Once inside of the library she started her work going through the books that Damien had set out for her. She could tell this wasn't going to be easy. There where hundreds of books with spells and many dealing with dolls surprisingly or the world doll.

Damien looked up as he heard Aria speak up. He agreed and was thankful for the held. He left quickly accompanied by Aria. Once inside the library he said his request as his purple magic gathered all the books that dealt with spells and dolls. He was shocked with how many books there honestly were on the subject of dolls and spells. He hung his head as he sat down in the floor along with Aria and started reading. He noticed that none of these books looked like they held the key for what they needed as he went through them. He had feeling that the spell may lay in Aura's book it's self. The spell used on them was a special one that was hide for a reason. He knew that the lady who had cursed them used her own book he thought when she cursed them. If he was right then the spell was in Aura's book. However he would keep looking just encase he was wrong.


Zaylic watched the other two as he stared at Aura. He finally turned and left letting her eat in privet. The truth was he was thinking on Damien and what he had saw with Aura. He pondered on what he had saw wondering how he could copy it.

Aura frowned a little when she was left alone and sighed softly. "how can i help them if they run off like that? I just wanted to talk to them." she sighed softly to herself before continuing to eat and looked around at all the lovely flowers and trees loving how fresh this area was. She frowned a little knowing she would have to leave to go back to her house soon to rest and maybe gather some clothing and food so she could spend some time here until she had to go back to work.

Zaylic watched Aura as she looked around and ate. He finally walked back to where she was. He bent down as she sat in the chair and proceeded to kiss her on the lips as he softly caressed her face with his hands. He put some feeling behind the kiss as he tried to enjoy the kiss or what he could in his doll state. Aura was a beautiful girl so he found it quiet easy to be taken by her. He knew this may be forward however he wasn't one to just take second place at a chance to be free form the curse. He closed his eyes as he kissed her.

Aura was surprised at this causing her to gasp some and turn blood red unsure how to react really. No one had ever been so forward with her... she hadn't even kissed anyone before really so this was a shock but she didn't push him away but was unsure how to feel... he was a doll right now after all.

Zaylic let the kiss fade as he pulled back and stared at her blush. He noticed that he didn't feel different as he looked at his hands. He wondered what he had done wrong. He looked back to Aura as he wondered if he had to make a connection to her of some short. He finally took a seat beside her as he looked away from her fixing her a plate of the different foods and putting it before her. " Are you going to stay with us now? Tell me about yourself?" He said as he shifted his eyes back to her.
