One Moon ℂ Video

[A hand fumbles in front of the camera, then pulls back to show a teenage girl who is looking very confused and a bit scared.]

Where am I? What's going on here?

[She looks around her, then back to the camera. Bringing it closer to her face to better examine it, she narrows her unique eyes, one green, one gold.]

Is this some kind of sick joke? Did you do this, mother?

[The last word is spit out harshly. This is so not a happy mother-daughter relationship.]

I don't know what your angle is this time, but I don't want to talk to you. Send me home right now!

Your mother is capable of pulling you out of your home world and putting you somewhere else entirely?

She must be incredibly powerful.

[She hesitates, looking away for a moment. Eden already told her that people here are aware of magic, and that there are curses. This isn't like home, so does she have to hide what she is like she does there?]

She is, yeah.

I've never heard of an enchantment quite that powerful that would leave the caster behind. It's entirely possible to Apparate someone without their consent, but they can't go without you.

[ASDFJGFHGFKG Caster? Cover blown! But wait, she has no idea what Apparate means.]

You... are you a Caster?

[...he ...casts ... spells?]

I'm a wizard, if that's what you mean.

[STOP CONFUSING HER!]

A-- wait, no.

[She laughs, because a Caster would never call themselves that. Okay, so he's not one.]

You're one of those other magic users I've heard about.

[don't laugh. :C]

Ah, magic is different where you come from? May I ask what you call yourself, then, if not a witch?

I guess it must be. I'm a Caster.

[And doesn't that feel strange to just admit out loud like that? It was like pulling teeth before, but now that she knows there's magic here, she feels like the people here will understand too.]

A Caster. I can't say I've ever heard that before. You're American?

Yeah. And you're-- [She hesitates. She already got chewed out for calling an Irish girl British.] --from Europe?

English, specifically.

English, okay. And, well, introductions might be nice. I'm Lena.

Hello, Lena. I'm Percy. I wish we were meeting under better circumstances.

Yeah, well, I guess they could still be worse. Not that this is my idea of fun, but... you know.

At least you didn't come in during a curse. That would have been an extremely unfortunate introduction.

Probably would have thought my mother was behind that too.

I don't know if even the most powerful witch or wizard is capable of what the deities can do.

Depends on the source of their magic, I guess. But she's pretty powerful. Like, scary powerful.

[She's the Bellatrix Lestrange of South Carolina, Percy. :|]

Clearly, if you believed her capable of bringing you to another dimension entirely. Is that something even possible in your world?

Umm... sort of? There's this place that's different from anywhere else, at least in terms of magic. Maybe it was a different dimension.

[...'this place that's different from anywhere else' describes ... well ... just about anywhere, Lena.]

How was it different in regards to magic?

[She blows out a breath. Really, with all the secrets of the Caster world left unrevealed to her, she's the last perfect he should be asking.]

It was supposed to be a place with special magic. Not Dark or Light, just... magic. I don't know if that was true, but when you walked into it, you could tell. Something felt different.

[She is the queen of vagueness.]

That must be another difference between our types of magic. Only some magic is specifically Dark. The rest depends on the user.

Must be. Hey, are you one of those wand users? This girl named Ginny says she has to use a wand.

She's my sister.
