The summer time came in, the sweet smell of summer hangs in the air. A sister of mine left home for a while and yet Lavender found her way home though I feared for her, she was bruised and battered when I laid eyes on her. My guild brother, the man she loves was frantic with worry. And another, a friend of myself and Lavender, never left her side he was so worried and even threaten me a little while I tended her wounds. It is interesting to see how one person has such an impact on others in our lives. I cleaned her hair of dirt and debris, it looked as if she had run through the forest with no care for where she was heading, I wondered if her bruises might have been caused from that until I found one that resembled fingers...
Lavender eventually woke, a group of people at her side happy to see that she had returned to us, only to be stunned to learn she had taken a nasty hit to the back of the head and she could not remember who she was.. or who we where! I was SO worried... not only for her but my brother. I thought the grief might very well be his undoing. Seeing my family in such turmoil was painful, but I knew that someone needed to be strong, for them all. I watched marc by marc as Lavender gained her strength again, her bruises started looking worse though they usually look worse before they get better. But her attention was being held by another then the man who loves her so. I tried to steer her in the right direction, only to have my efforts undermined by the one determined to steal her from the man she loves, the one she left the lands for. I prayed daily for her memories of her life to resurface. And in time thankfully as all wounds do she was fully healed... body and spirit. Thanking the gods Lavender was fully returned to us, I have not seen such joy in my brothers face for a long time and I was glad to see it there! The other man was cantankerous and looking for ways to lessen his own grief, he had so hoped to attain Lavenders affections said tried to get under peoples skin. Deciding to intervene I got to see a side of my guild leader I will never forget, it was very sweet. Lavender rarely leaves her loves side now, and I am glad they found happiness again. I later learned Lavender's condition was caused when she was confronted by someone her parents had arranged for her to be bonded to, and when he realized she would not be his he grew vicious and hit her on the back of the head as she was heading home to us, causing her to cast a portal home, and leaving her without her memories.
