"Llyn Llydaw, the lake near Carleon-upon-Usk. Here the barriers between the worlds grow thin, and portals such as those that you arrived by have been recorded here throughout the ages. But not since the fall of Atlantis has anyone professed to see such portals, nor the creatures that inhabit them. The daoine sídhe sealed the paths to Tuatha Dé Danann, the land of the Fay at the time of the Roman invasion and the scourge of the religion of the cross and since then none have passed this way. Save for you."

'Is it me or did half of those words make no sense to you?' Kina thought to Emilie.

'Languages are less of a problem for me, and yet...' Emilie admitted.

Kina nodded, Emilie had felt the same way she had about what Yeine had said.
"Wanna try again in English maybe?"

Yeine blanched at the warning in Kina's tone and blushed "my apologies, such things every child of my profession is taught before we are allowed to leave the Holy Isle. We are told by the Merlin of portals all across this land that connect to many worlds, and here is where one is recorded to have existed. I speak of the daoine sídhe of Tuatha Dé Danann, that is our name for the fairy realm and its inhabitants who were known to us as using such portals to travel to the fabled city of Atlantis. My people were charged with keeping the pathways for the sidhe maintained and manning the lake crossing to Avalon so that the Atlanteans and Fay could meet in safety and neutrality. But the invasion by the Romans killed many of our people and thus the covenant between our people and those beyond the earth and under the water was broken. There are so few of us left now, but those who remain keep to the old ways, and wait for our purpose to be fulfilled."

"Wow, that's some serious higher calling you've got there..." Emilie said, more than a little impressed. "So... How long have you been watching this place for this portal?" She heard Yeine's answer form in her mind, but decided it wouldn't be fair not to let her say it.

Yeine stuttered for a short while before catching herself and shyly looking at the pair "just for these past few months. The Merlin tasks each of the Avalonians who leave the isle with guarding a portal point in ausicious times of the year. This for the moment, is mine".
She pulled back her fringe to reveal a small crescent moon shaped tattoo in the centre of her forehead, the tips pointing towards the sky. "This mark identifies me to all who live in this valley as a preistess of Avalon, and guarantees my safe passage through these lands in peacetime or war, where ever my calling takes me".
Lowering her hair back over her face she smiled playfully at the pair, and extended her hands, inviting them to walk with her around the lake.
"So what would travellers from distant lands, such as yourself, prefer for eating? The Fay do not eat as we do, taking sustenane from the air itself, but Atlantis often traded their foodstuffs with our people, and shared many a feast day with us. Are you the same?"

"I, um... Portals actually make me feel a little nauseous" Emilie admitted

Yeine had perked up when Emilie had started to speak but then looked abashed with what she said "Oh, of course, their di-men-shun-al pro-per-tees have an averse effect on human fizz-ee-ol-oh-gee". She shrugged off her water skin from her shoulder and stooped to fill it at the water's edge.
"The water of the lady is as clean and pure as the gift of life itsef, it should help refresh you".

"Thanks" Emilie smiled, accepting the drink. It really did make her feel better.
