"Save... Mama?"

Ava looked down at her mother, slowly growing cold & more still, her hands shaking & her eyes watering. Could she really save her mother's life, with the little amount Or maybe... this had something to do with the strange way everyone had been acting around her. Her father was ruthless, Andreios was clearly more important than he let on, & her mother... she looked so much worse off than before. Did she forget something important? Was she forced to forget?

Reaching forward, her muscle memory guiding her, Ava took hold of her mother's arm & placed a finger over the bigger veins on her arm. She then began to pour magic into the woman's body. Soon, Ingrid's body began to get warmer & have more color, her chest heaving to breathe & normalize everything else. As her mother recovered, Ava began to remember things, from her newer memories to older ones, including her father threatening to kill Andreios if she did not return home.

"Ava?"

Hearing her mother call out, Ava looked down at the woman, rubbing her eyes when she realized that she was still crying. Her memories had yet to recover to the point she met Andreios, but she knew enough to remember them being happy before he left, & all of the medical knowledge she'd gained while working with Kain. It was like she was waking from a bad dream, a little bit at a time.

"I remember... so much," Ava mumbled, hugging her arms to herself, "I'm sorry Mama. I left you alone for so long... Papa did this to punish me for running away, didn't he?"
