One bland afternoon, Oralie got a hail from Mr. Forkle. He said that he was ready to get her DNA. He had reached out to her several months earlier, and told her about Project Moonlark, and she'd accepted, and hadn't heard from him since, until today. He told her to wear an addler, as another Black Swan member would be there to help with the process, and hung up without another word. Typical.

When she had arrived at the location Forkle had informed her of, she thought she had the wrong coordinates. It was a completely plain, empty field, with miles and miles of tall grass. And it was scorching hot. However, a few seconds later, a man and woman appeared. The man was Mr. Forkle, she realized, willing her eyes not to widen as she subtly studied his swollen, and puffy features. He used ruckleberries, she realized, for such an appearance. If she hadn't seen him before, she'd have thought that he was some old, human man. She then glanced at the woman, who had long glittery black braids and had some sort of mask on her face. Something about her face was so familiar... 

Oralie forced herself to tear her eyes away from them (she realized she was staring), and reached up to tug at a strand of her curly golden hair, which was usually a pain, but for once Oralie was grateful for it. "Hello, I'm Livv- Physic. It's a pleasure to meet you." the woman said, interrupting Oralie's thoughts.  Oralie ignored the name slip and responded with a lame, "hi.." and then a pause "the pleasure is all mine." She probably should have said something else, but she was to scared to accidentally slip her identity.  

Mr. Forkle then told her that Physic would be the one monitoring and leading the whole process, and he said that she's one of the Black Swan's most trusted medics. Mr Forkle then took out a crystal and stretched his hand out which Oralie accepted, and the three of them lightleaped away. They arrived at some bland building that was built with brick. They led her inside to a big room that looked exactly like what she'd have expected any elven hospital room to look like. 

Forkle then left her with Physic and thanked her for doing this. 

"Now I can't see your face(because of the addler), and I have no idea who you are. There's no need to be so shy, " Physic said. "I'm sorry..." Oralie said, hating herself for being so incredibly lame. 

Physic laughed, and Oralie told her rapidly beating heart to shut the hell up. Physic seemed trustworthy, and was giving off a positive feeling that Oralie could feel even from afar. They talked for a while and Physic said, "Wow, something about you is so familiar." Then she shook her head, and said, "Sorry, I'm probably freaking you out. We should get started."  

"Alright,  the first thing you need to do is lay down right here and take a deep breath. I promise, you'll be fine." Physic gestured to the bed right next to her which was next to a table with some weird needle device on it. Physic asked her if it was alright if she was unconscious for the whole process, and explained that it would hurt a whole lot less if she was. Oralie nodded and drank the sedative Physic gave her. It was the sourest thing she'd ever tasted! She was probably making a face, and Physic looked like she was trying hard not to laugh as she said, "Trust me, you don't want to know what's in it." Oralie didn't have enough time to make a reply because the next second, everything went black. 

Oralie awoke to what she was pretty sure was the worst pain of her life. Everthing was so blurry, she was seeing double, her stomach felt like it was on fire, and she was so nauseous! Oralie looked around and saw a Physic- or who she assumed was Physic, a few feet away. "Oh! You're awake! Don't worry, the procedure went well, I just need to do one more thing." Oralie sat up. She immediately regretted that as she felt way too dizzy, and her stomach was killing her. Physic carefully took Oralie's arm, (which was literally throbbing so hard) and placed it on the table next to the bed.

 "Ok. I know you're probably already feeling terrible, but this is all I need to do." Physic showed her the needle thing from earlier and said, "Take a deep breath, this won't hurt, trust me. The sedative from earlier had a painkiller in it. " Oralie did as she was told and nodded gesturing that she was ready( She still didn't feel good enough to talk). Physic lowered the machine, and the needle pressed against her skin. About 20 seconds later, she took it out and and gave Oralie another painkiller, which she drank in one sip. 

A few minutes later, Physic showed her a small tube. "This is your fully ready DNA. I think you're good! Thank you so much again. Are you feeling well enough to lightleap? "Yes, I'm fine," Oralie managed to get out. She stood up and put a hand on the table, to stop herself from falling over. Before she left, she looked at Physic and said, "I hope we meet again."  I'm sure we will," Physic replied with a smile. 

Oralie leapt away, back to Eternalia, which was really hot, unnaturally hot (or maybe it was just her). She was quite glad to see her castle again. Thankfully no one was outside (and hopefully no one was watching) as she stumbled over to her castle, licked the DNA panel, and spent a good 2 minutes trying to figure out which bolt was which(she was feeling even worse than earlier, and hoped her vision wasn't permanently blurry).

 God, why was it so hot! Oralie felt like she was burning up already, and the temperature was only making everything so much worse! She slipped her cloak off and was very glad that her dress was thin. 

Oralie experienced another  wave of nausea as she walked to her sitting room and collapsed on the closest sofa. And for the second time that day, everything went black. 


Sorry the first chapter was kinda boring ik. I promise I'll update as soon as I can!
