Anastasia
Anastasia
"I'd like to see one of those rooms please unless one of you all would like some company just let me know. Thanks Father, I will come back in the morning to see if anything new has been uncovered to add to the missing list." Anastasia says before departing Father Malaki's office.
Anastasia walks down a deserted hallway dimly lit by glowing orbs. Boxes that weren't here earlier today litter the hallway. It looks like somebody has been busy moving things out of the burnt upper floor. Arriving at the door to the makeshift infirmary, Anastasia can hear whispered voices coming from the room as she opens the doors on silent hinges. Peering through the opening, she can see more of the same glowing orbs lighting the room. Beds and sleeping pallets litter the room in an orderly fashion. Two priests can be seen making there way carefully among the rows, checking on various patients as they go.

Re: Anastasia
Anastasia enters the room quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone. She makes her way to one of the priests, "Hi I was wondering if I couldnt talk to you for a few minutes away from the people here. It is very important and I won't take much of your time. Oh pardon me on my manners, my name is Anastasia."
As she awaits the priests answer, she still looks at the room and glancing at some of the patients. Some aren't doing very well, but well taken care of and the others well surely they have other problems, after all who wouldn't after all that's happened. Anastasia is in high hopes of finding the needed information and seeing if theres anything she can do to help as well

Re: Anastasia
From what Anastasia can see of the patients as she walks through, most seem to be sleeping. Some restlessly, some soundly. One young boy is laying quietly with his eyes wide open staring at the ceiling but not seeing.
"Hello miss." Her voice is soft and kind. "I would be happy to share a few moments with you." The woman says quietly in response. Leading Anastasia back out into the hallway where Anastasia just entered she continues. "My name is Sister Gueneth the White. You may simply call me Gwen." She smiles warmly at Anastasia. "Are you looking for a lost family member or something? Your mother or father perhaps? Maybe if you describe them to me I can help you find them." Gwen is a kindly older woman who appears to be past her prime in life. Her eyes, though, still sparkle in the dim light of the orb to Anastasia's back.

Re: Anastasia
"Well its nice to meet you Gwen. No I am not looking for family but looking for answers as to what happened exactly and what the people here can tell me if the saw who it was and whatever information I can gather. It is very important as a group of us are trying to hunt down whoever did this horrid thing. Tell me, Gwen, the little boy over there..he should be sleeping but his eyes wide open..whats wrong exactly with him?"
Anastasia looks around more to see if theres anything else she sees out of order or important. "Why were the boxes and things neat when theres obviously much to do with the hurt people and who did it?"

Gwen looks surprised that someone as young as Anastasia is talking about such serious matters. "Well, I'm glad to hear that you aren't here looking for someone. Today's been rough on so many people." She says with a hint of a sigh. "I might say, though, that you should think of something else to do with your time rather than hunting down Horde raiding parties. As bad as they are, they are just one of the risks we take for living so close to the edge of their domain. We've managed, until now, to avoid their notice. No lights are allowed at night where they might shine through a window, no one ventures out of town except to go the mines to work or to head to the nearest town. I'm afraid that now they know we've built here that we'll have to be more proactive about defenses for the town. It's such a new town that the other Priests and Wormspeakers have not had an opportunity to grow walls around it for defense."
"Tell me, Gwen, the little boy over there..he should be sleeping but his eyes are wide open..whats wrong exactly with him?" Anastasia asks curiously.
Sister Guineth looks over at the boy in question while she speaks of his plight. "As near as I can tell, he hid in a closet when the demons came. His father was found dead in the house and his mother has not been seen since. There is nothing physically wrong with him, but he has stared blankly at the ceiling ever since he was brought here." She turns back to Anastasia. "I'm afraid the mental strain was too much for him. Hopefully some rest and the company of others will eventually bring him back to us."
Anastasia looks around more to see if there's anything else she sees out of order or important. "Why were the boxes and things neat when theres obviously much to do with the hurt people and who did it?"
Anastasia doesn't notice anything else that seems to be out of order or unusual; however, Sister Guineth's response takes on the mildest hint of defensiveness. "Some of the citizens and soldiers were assigned to clean-up and salvaging of what they could from the upper floor. Whomever stored the stuff out in the hallway obviously took pride in their work. We all do what we can here, Anastasia; such is the way of our little town. Some are more skilled at healing and some are better suited for more manual labor."

Re: Anastasia
'Anastasia is set back a little by Gwens response of her doing something other than looking for the Horde, but not surprised since people don't really know her cabablities.
"Well, true Gwen I could be doing that, but I'm not the only one looking for this horde, I'm just looking for answers to help the others that are looking to get rid of this horde and hopefully by doing so people will be able to get back to what they need to be doing without so much fear. I don't think it will all be gone at one time, but with those that are helping, we are only trying to help people in the best way to get back to lives and rebuild etc. and for me answers from the people as to what happened I can relay to my friends so they have something to go on and if need be to help build the defenses to protect the city. I believe they will come back another time to try to finish everyone off. They don't appear to be the kind to just back off but full on destroy whats left here. Thats all why I am here to help." Anastasia saying with the warmest and most comforting way and to gain what trust since age seems to be a factor at this moment.
"Really, at my age I have seen what they have done and as bothersome as it is I only want to do what I do best in comforting people and helping them the best I can. The little boy I would like to sit down with and see if I can get somewhere as to what he has seen but most importantly comfort him in his loss, reassure that we will try to find his mother. But only when the time is right. Any of the others I would like to do the same, with your discretion, Gwen and perhaps by morning time I will come back and help with feeding and getting to know the people here. Theres so much we need to know and I hope you will accept my help and my talking with the people."
Anastasia notices the other nurse.
"Might I have a few words with the other nurse as well? Really as much information as I can get from all here will definitely help all of us and like I said thats what I do best "
Anastasia only hopes that Gwen and the other nurse will let her do this. As unhappy of a situation as it is, Anastasia has her glowing affect that warms peoples hearts and her ability to help far proceeds everything at this point.

Re: Anastasia
Gwen looks on patiently as Ansastasia gives her speech. As Anastasia wraps up, Gwen says in a forgiving tone, "Yes, perhaps I've misjudged you. In our world the young are forced to grow up too fast." She makes a gesture as if to touch Anastasia's face in familiarity before thinking better of it and allowing her arm to fall to her side.

"Might I have a few words with the other nurse as well? Really as much information as I can get from all here will definitely help all of us and like I said thats what I do best."
Sister Guineth draws her brows in in momentary confusion as she looks to see whom Anastasia is talking about. "Oh! You mean Brother Simon. He's another of the priests that has been looking after the sick today. If you wish to talk to him you'd better hurry, he was almost ready to head home for the night while I take over." Gwen makes a gesture to the man to join them. "When you're done speaking to him, feel free to go see the boy, but please do not disturb the othe patients. If you wish to talk to any of them you may return in the morning."
The man approaches and as he gets closer his eyes widen as he sees the radiance of Anastasia's aura. "May I be of service." He finally manages to get out without taking his eyes from her.

Re: Anastasia
"Thank you, Gwen. I really appreciate all your help. And thank you for letting me talk to the little boy. I do pride myself in helping and comforting people as you can probably tell and yes in the morning I will be able to talk to others as well after a good night sleep and breakfast."
"Hello Brother Simon. I'm Anastasia. I was wondering if you could help me with a few things of great importance as I was telling Gwen here. I'm working with a group looking to see if you've heard or having information on exactly what the people saw and what happened. I've explained to Gwen here, that there is a group of us trying to find out as much as we can so we can put an end to this disaster and who knows what information I can gather for my friends to help. Have you heard them say anything or possibly if there having bad dreams what they may be about for sure anything would be appreciated by all of us."
Anastasia looks around noticing that some are restless and the little boy, still with that look. Awaiting the answer from Brother Simon, Anastasia ponders over what to do for the little boy as soon as she can go and talk to him. "I know I can help him..its just very sad about his family ...very sad whats happened to all these people" as she also remembers the dying man.

Re: Anastasia
"I've not heard any of them say anything out of the ordinary. I'm sure they're just having the nightmares one would expect after a day like today. I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help to you." the priest concludes.

Re: Anastasia
Anastasia kinda disappointed he didnt know much more but thats ok.."Well maybe something will come up later that you've heard, but thank you very much for your help.Yes it's been a terrible thing for these people and what they have seen..they will need lots of comfort for sure which I can help out in the morning if you would like. As Gwen knows that is something I can do at the most and pride myself in, but for now I'm going to go over and be with the little boy over there and comfort him ..if theres anyone else or anything I can do I would be very happy to help."
Anastasia eager to talk and help this little boy, starts to go over slowly waiting for Brother Simon to respond. But seeing as hes got alot to do with the people and Gwen leaving she makes her way to the little boy.
Anastasia looks closer at the little boy, saddened still by what hes seen and gone thru. "Hi there..I'm Anastasia. What's your name?" As she waits for a response she makes him a little more comfy and holds his hand, "There we go, is there anything I can get you, maybe a drink? You let me know and I will take care of it for you the best I can."
Anastasia waiting for the answer any response from this poor little boy. She feels his sorrow, his losses, his being afraid whats going to happen to him and where his mom is.
