"W-well that was... surprising... Zaylic you haven't hardly said anything to me since i got here... wh-why would you kiss me?" Aura asked softly still blushing but then ate a little more and took a sip of her tea. "I was actually just thinking about the same thing actually... I have work that I do in town so I wouldn't be able to stay all the time... but I'll probably be here every day unless something comes up... and i might stay here on my days off or days when I don't have to work early." she explained softly

Zaylic nodded hearing her as he poured her some more tea. " Are you happy with your work? " He ask as he shifted his eyes to her honestly wondering. "If you not happy then you should figure out what makes you happy. I wanted to see if I could be like Damien with you and become human just for a moment. However I see that I have to form a connection to you. You are very beautiful I hope you know that. What make you happy? " He asked again wanting to know more about her.

"Ah I work as a wicken, you know healing people and helping others, i also make medicine and grow herbs, fruited and vegetables for the local stores." Aura smiled some. "I love my work, i get to help so many different people, even those who don't live in the town." She smiled some before thanking him for the tea and finished all the food she wanted before drinking a bit more of the tea. "What about you? What did you like to do before the curse? or... do you remember at least?" she asked curiously then felt a little awkward.

" I use to enjoy traveling. I love sailing and just being around and on the sea. Or I did I barely remember the sea now or how it felt when the wind wiped through my hair. I miss that though there are many things I miss. That is why you came here you have a big heart I see. " He said as he looked at her admiring her for a moment. He slowly got up from his seat and bent down kissing her again. This time he put feeling into it honestly admiring her for her big heart as he felt something. He felt her soft lips and then her soft skin on her cheeks as he kissed her. He didn't bother looking know hat for once he was human again. He enjoyed just feeling her and the kiss.

Aura smiled as she listened to him, honestly she couldn't stand being on boats but she was glad he had something he remembered liking. She was then surprised again as she felt him kiss her again and her cheeks turned red again but she gave him a small sweet kiss back. She just wasn't sure what to feel with how forward he was being it was... odd.

Zaylic smiled as he felt her kiss letting her go as he stared into her eyes. She was very beautiful he thought to himself as he softly took a seat. He picked up one of the sweets and tasted it himself. "I forgot how amazing they are. " He said as he looked down at the cake. " The sweets still taste good. I would love to escort you when you go back to make sure you stay safe. It looks like the sun will set soon."

"That would be fine... er... so long as you can keep that form for a little while just by holding hands or something... I need to tell the town what's going on before they see you guys outside of human form... I don't want them to start freaking out you know?" Aura said softly worrying a little that seeing a living doll might frighten the town since many thought that the legends were just fairy tails

"How about I walk you at least to the gate here? I'm not sure how long this will last." He said as he smiled at her enjoying being able to smile on his own. He flexed his arms and felt happy for once. He looked back to Aura as he smiled at her. " You have a problem you know. If the key is us making a bond with you. That means one day you will have to pick one of us as yours. And I am going to do everything in my power to make you choose me." He said to her as he took a bite of the sweet he had been playing with enjoying it not letting his eyes leave her.

Aura nodded then listened and put her cheek in her hand as she thought looking down with a frown then shook her head. "No... no I'll find a perminent way... somehow... i don't want the three of you to fight at all... I want us to all be friends... so... i'll find a way to break the curse, to set all three of you free so you won't have to suffer like this anymore, I swear to that." she said softly looking back at Zaylic as she put her hands back down in her lap. "i should really talk to Aria before i go... I haven't had a chance to yet." she said softly then pulled her phone out of her pants pocket and looked at it to see what time it was. While the town was still holding onto the old ways there was still some stuff that did change, like a little bit of technology.

Zaylic looked at the strange device that Aura pulled out as he stood and walked over staring at it. "What sorcery is this? " He said as he reached out and tapped it softy as he looked at it fascinated. " What strange creation this is. You people are quiet strange. I'm not sure if we would want to be in the village with these strange things. " He said as he stared intensely at the phone. He finally had enough of the phone as he stood knowing that Aura was done with him. "If that is the case just summon her. She is the keeper of the house and you are the owner say her name and she'll have to come to you. We all have to if you call out our names."

"Hm? Oh right... I'm sorry... allots changed since you three were put to sleep... such as the telephone... it lets you talk to people far away without using magic since not many people were able to use communication magic anyway, it also can tell you the time of day without carrying around a watch and I was just making sure of the time." Aura explained softly giving a little sheepish smile before nodding then stood. "i'm really sorry to cut it short but I just wanted to spend a little time with all of you before I had to leave, but I'll be sure that I spend quality time with each of you soon." she smiled softly. "But I do think I should check to see if Damien and Aria have found anything that might help me." she said softly but waited to see if he wanted to say anything else to her.

Zaylic just nodded as he turned and headed down to the library. He didn't dare go in the room and just stood outside of it as he rested against the wall. He looked down as he shifted back into his doll form. He enjoyed being human again. However his doll from had it's advantages. He looked up as he deiced maybe he should excuse himself and go check on his own area. He finally just left and headed to his secret room that he was over. He hadn't been there in so long he wondered if it was still how he left it or not.

Aura was a little worried that Zaylic might be upset but just went ahead into the library and looked around for were Damien and Aria were but noticed allot of books were out. "Hey guys... I'm sorry for leaving you with so much work I didn't expect there to be so much" she said softly with a slight frown.

Aria looked up from the mass book fort that had some how formed around her. She looked over to Damien as she saw him looked at her sheepishly. He was putting all the books he went through around her and had blocked her in. She just laughed as she looked to where Aura was. " It is fine it is our pleasure to try and help. Sadly we aren't having any luck here. However we know more about love and the nick name baby doll that apparently human's give one another. And we know a lot of helpless spells now. They even have one to help a man tie a bow. I swear some of this is just ridiculous. However Damien has a idea for you." She said as she looked to Damien trying to encourage him to talk to Aura.

Damien looked over to Aura as he cut his eyes to Aria hearing her. He hadn't noticed the stakes of books around her till she said something. He had went through his pills faster than Aria had however he was use to working with books. Aria was more in tune with her magic and normally didn't even bother with spells. He froze as he heard Aria mention he needed to tell Aura his idea. He finally spoke up as he looked back to Aura. "Uh....I think your book may hold the key. From what I have gathered when this curse was cast the lady was using that book. I think she ripped the curse from a forbidden book from far away and slipped the curse in your book. There are records here of her turning others like us into dolls. I thought we where the only ones. However the other dolls didn't make it sadly. He said as he held out the book he had found out to her. You can take this with you if you like."

Aura laughed as she saw Aria surrounded and covered her mouth as she grinned and tried to hold back her laughter. "Phht! Ha ha ha! Damien were you having fun?" Aura laughed a little then calmed herself some as she listened and frowned a little. "How in the world could spells and books like that be of any help to a mage?" She asked curiously then frowned seeming shocked as she took the book that was offered to her. "they.... didn't make it? How horrible... I understand that the witch helped allot of people... but... how could she see any of this as helpful?" she frowned sadly then listened and nodded some. "Honestly I don't know what all is in my book... I just know whenever I want something it flips right to the page... and when i was younger some of the pages were blank, it's like it has a mind of its own sometimes... but thank you both I'll be sure to do some research on my own... oh Aria, if you can get out of that... fort... he he, could we talk? I've gotten to talk to both Damien and Zaylic but i haven't had a chance to really talk to you yet." she smiled some trying to keep from laughing again

Aria looked at Aura along with Damien surprised to hear Aura laugh. She felt happier though hearing the woman laugh. Aura was very different from the last lady. She looked back to Damien hoping he could help her. She watched as the books vanished back to their shelves. It took a while for the books to find their homes before Aria was able to move freely. She looked back to Damien and would have smiled at him if she could have. "Thank you." She said to Damien as she looked back to Aura. " It 's alright Aura you don't have to worry about me. I'm just happy you could help Damien. He is very kind just like you it would appear. Thank you for your sweet laughter. I-I can't remember the last time someone laughed. I love hearing laughter. " She exclaimed as she turned quickly and suddenly seemed to dance her way around Aura as she herself giggled enjoying herself for a moment. She stopped and giggled as she looked back to Aura. "Sorry I was enjoying being free from my book prison. I miss being able to laugh and have fun thank you."

Damien held out his hand as the books started to find their homes. He watched Aura and Aria as he slowly excused himself heading to the back of the library continuing putting the books away. He felt it was only fair that Aria got some privet time with Aura. Aura was really something he hadn't seen Aria this happy in a long time. Come to think of it she had made Aria laugh and giggle most of the day. He couldn't remember the last time he had heard her sweet laughter. Aria was so light hearten and a free sprite. He had loved her songs and her laughter before the lady had snapped on Aria and punished her for not taking her work seriously. That is when Aria had changed and became so uptight. So this was nice to see the old Aria appear again.

Aura smiled happily as she watched Aira and clapped her hands together with a bright smile. "Oh it makes me so happy to see you excited and happy Aria." She smiled easily then watched as Damien went off. "Could you show me to where my room is and we can talk on the way or in there" She offered with a smile. "I'd like to get to know you too, like I said before, I'm here to help all of you." she smiled softly

Aria nodded as she looked to Aura." Alright, I'd be happy to show you the room. I would like to know you better as well." She said as she slowly turned and headed out of the room. "You have to meet some of the faerie folk around here. I think you would love them. Oh....they may not be here do you think the ladies spell put them to sleep? I mean it put everything else to sleep. They where so kind and I loved seeing their small houses. They are very smart and some of their inventions are ingenious. Why don't you tell me about you." She said as she looked around the house. She lead the lady up the stairs heading to the room that Aura had requested.

"i don't know... I hope so because I've never seen a fairy before." Aura smiled a little then thought some. "What would you like to know? I've already told you some about me after all so I would love to know more about you." she pointed out with a soft smile as she fallowed Aria easily.

"I am not sure what do you like to do in your spare time? What is your life goal?" Aria said as she tried to think honestly what to tell Aura about herself there wasn't much to tell. "I told you about myself already. I am the keeper of the house there isn't much to say beyond that. I use to enjoy drawing and playing my flute. However that has been so long ago I don't know if I even remember how to do either of those. Due to the sleep I'm not to sure about many things. You know the lady didn't always start out so....harsh. She once gave us rooms that is where I use to draw and spend my time when she wasn't teaching me some of the principles of love magic. However something happen to her. She was honestly once my best friend. I feel sad thinking about how she use to be. You remind me of how she once was. None of the others got to see that side of her sadly. I remember when she use to laugh and we would just spend time running around the house. We use to work together helping the locals find love. We use to have annual parties for love. That however seems like a dream. I still am not sure what is real or not anymore." She said sadly as she looked up seeing the beautiful carved door. "here is the room Aura."

"Well... I had spent my free time looking for this house actually... I read and draw.... practice my magic and garden, but that's also part of my job. I grow and distribute herbs and goods to the town along with my duties as the mage of love. My goal in life had been to fulfill my duties really... make everyone I could smile and to save you three from this curse." she smiled some though frowned a bit as she listened to Aria. "You don't know what happened to her? had you known about the others that she had cursed?" she asked curiously before looking at the door and opened it looking around a bit surprised at the large room that had it's own small private library, drawings and paintings, and even a small sitting area with a fire place. "wow" she said softly as she looked around a bit

Aria thought about what Aura said. "I don't know Aura. I am sorry I don't remember what happen to me or Zaylic honestly. Damien said that she had done this to us. But the lady I knew couldn't harm a fly. However she did change by the time Damien came alone. I don't know why. She was more like our best friend before Damien appeared. I know a witch did this to me but it's hard for me to think it was her. Damien said he had found our books and we where welcome to read them once. However I have no wish to read it and find out if it was her doing or not the reason why I am here. Her room is amazing isn't it." She said as she slowly peered in at it. She didn't dare step in still feeling the lady's magic in it.

"I don't know if any of you would want to read your books now... I would think it would be too much for you... I told Damien the same thing... assuming each of your families were mortals... you just.... wouldn't want to know I'm sure." Aura explained with a sad frown then looked around a bit more before looking back at Aria. "Why don't you come in and sit down while we talk?" she offered softly. "In any case... I do plan on reading all three of your books and looking through the books in here to see if there is something that might help, and i'll read the book that you and Damien found for me" she said softly as she sat down in a chair near the door hoping Ariea would come in.

Aria stared at Aura as she slowly made her way in the room. She looked around it as she remembered the lady. "I still feel her magic here. I agree I wouldn't want to read my book. That is why Damien has kept them and guarded them. He really is a kind soul. I think you would come to like him even more if you spent more time with him. Aura don't you need to get back to the village soon? It is late and I don't want you leaving here at dark. Unless you are going to take one of the guys with you at least to the edge of the forest. We are enchanted so not much can harm us even in our doll form. It is strange with how little I remember. Thank you Aura for your kindness. We have been waiting for you for quit a while. I know that there are more mages of love. Here let me show you." She said as she walked to the privet library and waved her hand in front of herself as a red aura appeared around one of the book and it floated to her. She said the magical words that unlocked the book as she held it out to Aura. "The lady kept many reference books. You do know that you can live here permanently and the rest of us can help you with your work. That is what the lady did."

"I will leave soon... and I'll be okay on my own." Aura said softly then smiled a little sadly. "I think I already like all three of you but... like I said i want to save each of you, not just one. That would be cruel and selfish of me, at least that's how I feel." she explained then took the book gently and looked at it. "Yes i had heard that there was a handful of love mages, witches and wizards but the mages said out of all of them that came to the temple I was the youngest and the only one to get the book down." she said softly then smiled a bit to Aria. "Maybe sometime we can draw together? or I could help you with your baking? something so we could both have fun together." she smiled easily then sighed softly. "I know I can stay but I really must go, I'll stay here when i don't have to work early and I will take all of you to the village once I talk to the other mages, I don't want them to freak out ya know." she said softly but gave a slight smile
