"Mom! She's coming to." Says a young girl's voice around her.
There was some shuffling, and then a cloth was pulled off her eyes. "Now, try not to move, dear. The doctor says whatever bump you got was enough to keep you in bed longer if you moved too soon."
As the light focused, she saw an older, plain woman staring back, as if checking her vitals. "Do you know who you are?" The woman asks.
And... begin Sarah... well, not Sarah... more the infamous Amnesia Plot!

Frowning in confusion, Sarah asks "Wh.. who are you? Where am I?" She starts to try to sit up and puts her hand to her head as a bolt of pain runs through it. At the woman's questions, her face frowns even more and she starts to look panicky. "I... I don't know! I can't remember!"

"Shh! Shh! Shh! It's O deary." Says the woman soothingly. "You've been asleep for a week, and that was after we found you. No telling how long you were out in the fields. Lucky we did, though."
She eases Sarah's head up and gives her some water to drink. "Theeere you go. Now, you just lie back for a spell. I'm going to call the doctor. The police were by to get your prints. They said they'ld be in touch."
As she's lieing there, the girl belonging to the first voice pokes into view. "She doesn't have a name, mom?"
"Well, I have a name. It's Dora. This is Edeline." She says, pointing to the girl. And, if it helps, you're near the Golthreian Land's End to the North. Quite a ways from the city. If it helps."

Looking more confused, Jane Doe asks "Fields? Where did you find me?" When Dora tells her the police took her fingerprints, she smiles quietly. "I hope they will be able to figure out who I am." Turning her head to Edeline, she says "Hi." To Dora, she says "Thank you for helping me... even if I don't remember who I am." Lying back down, she sighs quietly to herself. In the back of her mind, she keeps getting the feeling there was something she was supposed to be doing, but since she couldn't remember what it was, she ignores it for now.

"Oh, it's nothing." Says Dora. "I'm sure you would do the same." A look of concern passes over Dora's face as she lays her hand on Jane's forehead to check her temperature. "You get some more sleep. I'll be nearby if there's any troubles."
Jane's sleep was mostly calm, except for the dream of a great shaded, frighteningly powerful form reaching out for her. "Wake up! Wake up, child and see who you are! Wake up!" ...
"Wake up!" Said a man's voice, over powering the dream. "That's it, wake up. You were having quite the dream." Several hours seemed to have passed as night had fallen and the room's lights were on. "I am Dr. Folden." He says, picking up her wrist. "Do you know where you are?"

Blinking, Jane tries to dispel the dream as it had been rather frightening. She wonders what that meant - if it just meant she was supposed to remember her name, or something else.
Smiling weakly at the Doctor, she replies "I'm at Dora's house. near the Golthreian Land's End to the North, or at least that's what Dora told me. I don't know how I got here though or what happened." She is quiet for a minute before asking the doctor "Am I going to be ok? Am I really badly hurt?"

The doctor runs through a series of basic examinations, pulse, pupils, etc. "Well, you'll be happy to know Dora is telling the truth. Do you understand the significance of it?" As he checks the second eye, he continues. "You don't seem to be seriously injured. Or, nothing that you won't recover from." He lifts up the sheets and checks the bandages on her arms. "The burns you received are mostly healed, which is impressive."
Getting up, he says, "I suspect the amnesia is more a result of the stress of the event and the small coma you've woken up from. It should return in time, so be patient and do not force it."
With another glance at Jane, the Doctor continues, "Dora, she should be up and around in a day or two. Minor chores, if she gets bored, but don't push her for a few days, alright?"
Dora nods.
"Is there anything else you'ld like to know, miss?" He asks.

Jane looks puzzled as she asks the doctor "No, I don't understand. What significance are you talking about?" Looking at her arms, she asks "I was burned, but mostly healed in a week? How is that possible?"
Smiling weakly, she replies "It'd be nice to know who I am." Looking nervous, she asks 'Is.. it is possible that my memory might never return or is it certain that it will?"

"Just whether you recognize what those terms mean." Says the Doctor. "I am uncertain why you healed so quickly. Good medicine. Good Genetics. But I am thankful you are."
The doctor lets out a small sigh. "Until we can get you to a proper scanner, I won't be able to say whether the trauma to your memory was physical - like brain damage - or psychosomatic - that the event that brought you here was so stressful. However, even then, with proper treatment, I cannot promise anything. For now, as hard as it seems, it's best just to relax and take it easy. being panicked and stressing yourself out, especially after just waking up, will only do you more harm, understand?"

Jane nods quietly and replies "Ok. Thank you, Dr. I'm glad that I am going to be ok." She takes a deep breath and then asks almost shyly "Could I get a drink of water, please?"

"Oh, of course." Says Dora. "Edeline." She says, steering the girl towards the door and, presumably the kitchen. A few minutes later, she returns with a sippy cup. Dora half frowns. "Edeline, dear, I don't think that's what she meant."
"Why not?" Edeline asks, coming over, looking like an 8-year-old version of her mother. "This way, she won't spill." She says, giving the cup to Jane to drink.
"Well. I'll see the doctor out. You keep her company, dear." Says Dora, as she escorts the half-smirking doctor out.
"Finally, the grown-ups are gone." Sighs Edeline, relaxing into a girl-talk kind of mode. "If you don't remember your name, can I name you? I named my mare. It's Goodwyn." She looks sort of shy for a second, and half mumbles. "It was cause I asked if the horse was going to have trouble coming, and my mom said she would be good when she got here... I was five! It was a windy day, honest! I thought when she got here, that was what her name was... gonna... be..." She flushes.

Jane can't help but chuckle a little at the sight of the sippy cup and sits up slowly and attempts to take a sip. Getting frustrated, she eventually takes off the lid and sip the water slowly, being careful not to spill any on herself or the bed. Listening to Edeline, she nods with a smile and says "Sure, you can sugest names, but I have the right to veto them if I don't like them." She then asks "What was her name going to be?"

"Oh, I thought her name was gonna be goodwyn cause I misheard momma." Edeline answered. "So... you know anything about the city? I've never been there, but we raise cattle for them. Daddy says that we have to raise a certain number of head each year to make sure there's enough meat in the city. It's very stressful sometimes. Sometimes I wish they would just eat more vegetables. But then I remember someone has to grow those, too. I'ld like to go to the city. It's very pretty there. Some days, when it's clear, you can see the spire."

Jane shakes her head at Edeline as she replies "If I know anything about the city, I don't remember it. I don't even know if I'm from there." Jane sighs and she looks sad for a second before shaking her head lightly. "What's the spire?" she asks "And what ideas did you have for a name?"

"Oh. That's bad." Says Edeline, frowning sympathetically. "Well... the Spire's a very tall building. Momma says it's the tallest in all of Shards. The whole world, if you can imagine. It's miles away, and we can still see it, it's that tall. Momma told me how high in numbers, but it's too big for me to remember."After a moment's concentration, she gives up and turns back to Jane.
"Well, for a name, how about Mary Ellen Sue? Or Delilah? Or, or Edeline 2! We could be like sisters." She beams a little.
