"Morning," Marci said, sitting up. She reversed the spells that made her look like a ghost, then changed her hair color to blue and her eyes to green.

"What's wrong?"

"Just thinking." Marci's voice was more like an adult's now than a child's. "About my home planet, my travels, the friends I've made and lost, everybody I've outlived and seen die..."

"I know, I seem like a child, about eight or so, but I'm much older," Marci said. "I'm well over 20,000. I lost track a long time ago."

"Wow."

Marci nodded. "I go by Marci because that's a child nickname. My full name is Marcella Inori Iteh'li Month'li." She closed her eyes and sighed. "My husband was the Great Hero Magnus of Valacia. He did this to me. It was all in good intention until he died. He was the only one that knew the reversal. He told nobody. Nobody, not even Creator Rahi knows the reversal except him. I've been stuck like this for over 15,000 years."

Marci nodded. "But I'm used to playing the part of a happy-go-lucky orphan child that survives with just her Pokemon companions and familiar," she said.

"I can understand that."

"You understand losing your husband of over five thousand years?!" Marci snapped. She looked away. "I'm sorry. I just find it hard to believe people when they say that to me. They've not had lives so long as I or were married so long as I."

"That's true, but I know what it's like to lose a loved one."

Marci hopped off the couch and went outside. A Rentorer [Luxray] was standing outside, chatting with a Lucario and Persian. They turned and looked at Marci. "What's wrong?" the Lucario asked.
"I just told the human in there about my past," Marci said. She hugged the Lucario.
"It's all right," he said.
