A fire dancer... not on coals or with torches but capable to walk into a raging fire and dance amongst the flames. Her people kept her well protected and under heavy guard when she traveled. Protected from those who would seek to turn her into some carnival show. They did not understand her ability and many of her own kind feared her.

Then she met him... A strange pale man in comparison to her earthly tanned people. He was injured... The children who went to find her to go get him claimed he fell from the sky... Slamming firmly into the ground surrounded in flame so that they could not get to him but he could see them and had asked them for help... So while some stood watching him others ran to find her.

Nadya
Dark brown/black hair
Dark brown eyes
Fire Dancer.

The children came running into her wagon yelling something about a man falling form the sky and fire around him and her needing to come quickly and help him before the fire eats him. Nadya listened to them trying not to laugh abut quickly followed them back to the field near the river and saw the circle of flames that they spoke of and the crumpled form of a man "cradled" within them. She motioned all of the children back as she walked towards the flames and then walking through them as if they were not even there and knelt down by the man.

Checking to see if he was alright and somehow not finding too much injury thanks to the soft fertile ground near the river. She looked him over and then tried to figure out a way to get him out of the ring of flames. Calling to the older children to take long branches soak them in the river and beat the flames down so she could get him out. Soon there was a path clear of flames and she pulled him out of the way of the flames.

Help me get him back to Camp and to grandmother Aishe so she can heal him.

"are you sure about this i have a funny Feeling leo."-a older man in a pilots jacket whow as flying the small airplane over a field of sorts.-"Dont worry old man i will be fine."-he laughed as Leo dove from the plane.Twisting turning and so on so forth he twisted and turned in the air doing tricks he pulled the rope for the chute and it didnt pop he pulled it once mor ebut when it opened it was a pillow case and soem string he been set up he looked at the ground ahead of him and he held on tight as he began heating up landign with a thud an dbouncign off the ground a bit he craddeled up in sid e aring of fire and his body ached as he was passing out he saw some children and asked them to ge thelp before passing out once again.

-Leo slowly awoke a few hours later a bandage on his head and his eyes glazed over there was a problem where was he and who was he leo couldn't remember anything his wallet in his pants and a photo ID on him that was the only thing he knew now he tried to remember what happen and was sitting there in a odd bed with a rag and bandage on his head just what in the heck was going on.-

 

[Asa]

She sat on the steps of the little wagon home and stared out over the camp. Grandmother had bandaged the man up and said that he was clearly form far away with his eye color and skin color and for her to be careful. The camp left Nadya to deal with the stranger. They didn't know what to make of her but they liked strangers even less. If he managed to gain her trust they would consider dealing with him but if he hurt their fire dancer he would wish that the fall had killed him. They may not know what to make of her but she was one of their own and they would protect her... If she ever needed it.

Glancing back hearing movement she spoke first in her native language. So you are awake now... Good sign... I am Nadya... Who are you? Are you hungry?

 

[NickisSora]

-he looked over seeing a beautiful woman standing there he looked to her understandign her speech so its good he wasn't in the presence of Savages he looked-"Greetings Nadya i am sorry but i don't know my name as amatter of fact where am i and how did i get here?"-he asked he looked to her and felt a lump in his pocket he reached in pullign out a wallet looking at it strangly and he found the Drivers license and began lookign it over a moment and he herd her speak again-"Um yeah i am kinda hungry now that you mention it."-he read over the ID and nodded to it seeing the picture was indeed of him thats good he now regained his name-"My name is Leo apperantly."-he said-

 

[Asa]

Brushing her hair back from her face as the breeze picked up a little.

Very well Leo I will go and find you food. You are in Romania. You fell from the sky... according to the children playing near where you landed. Lucky for you you landed on the soft grounds near the river.

Turning she moved to the fire to get some food in a little metal bowl and brought it back to him.

Here this should help you to feel better.

She smiled a little watching him.

 

[NickisSora]

-Leo looked at Nadya and then to the food she brought.-"Thanks."-as hot as the bowl was he took it and felt little ot nothing was it from the fact his body wa sstill numb some what from the fall or was it his powers either way he looked to the roof and then to Nadya as he looked at her eyes and eats the food slowly-"this is very good what is it."-he said as he kept Gnawing at the food.-

 

[Asa]

Wild deer.. wild roots and other vegetables..

She moved a little past him to sit behind him and check the bandages. She seemed content with what she found and moved back around. sitting once more on the other side of the little wagon.

So any idea why you would have fallen from the sky? Or how you got up there?

 

[NickisSora]

-he looked around seeign a backpack of sorts with other miscilanious items-"Well if those are mine im guessing Sky Diving."-he said and looked around for anythign else but finding nothing-"So Tell Me Nadya, Who are you and your people i see where in awagon of sorts are you wonderers."

 

[Asa]

We are Romani... Outsiders call us Gypsy. This is My Vardo... wagon.

Looking to the backpack.

Yes that is yours. What is... Sky diving?

She was curious now wondering if that was a strange power like hers. She sat there on the bench on the other side of the vardo and propping her feet up on a stool. Her long skirt covering her feet as she leaned forward her arms tucked between her chest and legs her hands toying absently with a necklace as she listened to him.

 

[NickisSora]

-he herd and watches Nadya speak something about her was majestic heck probably because she was good looking but at the subject at hand he explains-"sky diving is a activity where you jump from a plane and pull a parachute and float to the ground its a pretty fun activity but i guess my chute failed."-he said to her-"I thank you for taking me in."-he said as he sat there then with out realizing it him self he was thinking about disappearing for a while due to this incident and find him self he faded in to the background of the wagon like a cloaking and he re appeared again unknown to him-

 

[Asa]

How... how did you do that?

She stared intently at him but did not recoil. To the contrary looking almost fascinated.

You just... vanished.

Biting her lip though as if she wanted to say more but didn't. She began fidgeting with the necklace even more watching him closely.

 

[NickisSora]

-he looked to her then to him self running back to the same words in his head as he saw him self vanish and re appear-'its funny im not sure my self."-he said and looked to her-"i honestly am not sure."-Leo said it was creepy but his cloaking power was good so now he knew he could do that and would have to put it togeather in his mind eventually how to control it-

 

[Asa]

You do not remember if you know others like you Leo... Empowered...touched with a gift?

She watched him it felt strange to now know she was technically not alone but should she dare reveal her gift to him? She bit her lip and moved quickly to exit the wagon.

I have things I must tend to for the camp... If you need anything just call for me.

With that she hurried from the wagon to find the old woman to ask her... leaving out his vanishing but asking her if it was good or bad that she felt drawn to reveal her powers to the stranger.

 

[NickisSora]

-before he could answer Nadya left and he nods to her telling him she must attend to a few things-"I wonder are there others with powers."-he said as he stood up and wondered the cabin and tried to figure out his power how to control it and slowly was figuring it out little by little it had a lot to do with thought-

 

[Asa]

She went to speak with the old woman quickly, curious if she should tell Leo or show him that she too has a strange ability. Settling on him simply seeing it if it happened she left the old woman's wagon and went to check on the children and then returned to her wagon to see if he was alright.

 

[NickisSora]

-he watched Nadya walk back in and at that moment he stopped focusing on the power and looked to her-"i would guess there were only some others like me but i'm wondering what can these powers be used for i truly have no memory of what i am to do."-Leo said looking to her eyes-"is everything ok ?"-he asked seeing a different look on her face.-

 

[Asa]

She sat down in the doorway of her wagon and sighed.

Yes just a decision I have to make Leo thats all. Nothing to worry about.

She brushed her hair behind her ears as she sat there watching the sunset.

We will be having a feast tonight... big party... Honoring something about the ancestors... Long sad story... love and destruction and all that.

I wish I had answers about such powers and all that but...

She sighed and turned to watch everyone prepare for the feast.

 

[NickisSora]

-he kept his distance so he didn't come off as creepy or something as he looked to her then out to the village he smiled-"your people are very healthy and wise people you must know a ot of the land and stuff."

 

[Asa]

I know quite a bit of the region yes. Even the house that has ties to the feast tonight. The land it sits on was given to our family long ago be the last descendant of their side of the story. Penance maybe or just they knew that we would more than likely not sell it or tear it down or anything like that.

Its too sad though I never go near it... there is enough sorrow confusion and pain in the modern world than to dwell on past pains and evils.

 

[NickisSora]

-leo noddded and understood there was something about the air something unknown-"what is the legend for the feast."-he said as he looked around he something in side told him to go out of the wagon and search the surrounding area but to not frighten or weird out these people he stood still not leaving the wagon he looked back to nadya as well wondering if fate had bound them to each other.-

 

[Asa]

SHe told him the story of the young nobleman falling for a beautiful young woman of the camp and how when his family found out they had her taken away and would never tell him what had happened to her and how he had leaped to his death from the cliffs not too far away. And the diary her ancestors were given when the house was given to them explaining that their missing ancestor was locked away somewhere on the property of the noble home. None have tried to go and look for her final resting place they just instead watch over the lands and the house and leave gifts any spirit that wanders those grounds in case one of them is hers or his.

She looked back to him. It looks like the feast is ready care to join us? Smiling she stepped from the door of her wagon and over to sit by the fire preparing for her dancing within the flames to tell the story with the flames.

 

[NickisSora]

-he found it interesting so came out leo of all people knew feasts were fun but he had no memory of this he walked out and sat by the fire and watched with intrest-"the village looks nice."-he commented to him self as observed the people gathering-

 

[Asa]

The old woman spoke finally once everyone was gathered telling about their ancestor and her love and all that happened costing both young lovers their lives lost to the world in lost and hidden tombs of earth where ever their bodies rest the hope that they rest in peace.

Nadya stood and began to dance as the music began to play. Slowly the fires seemed to grow taller and wilder as they filled the oddly large circle of the fire pit stones. Slowly Nadya stepped closer and closer to the flames as they seemed to dance with her and reach for her.

The children sat with Leo still confused that someone could fall form the sky and live. They began to giggle and clap watching Nadya.

 

[NickisSora]

-amazing very impressed so this was her a Hero like him a memory sparked in him he knew he was on a mission for a man he met not to long ago something about this surrounding area he tried to also remember what it was exactly-

 

[Asa]

Slowly she stepped into the flames as she danced moving within them she guided the flames to tell the story as they knew it and moved between the dancing flames. The children watched him to catch his reaction to her being completely engulfed by the flames. Most outsiders freaked out or panicked or tried to figure out how to get her "to safety"
