[TheSpatialWeeg]

"Night, Mom! Night, Lids! See you soon~!"

Amitie closes the door to her room, looking at the myriad of gifts she got from family and loved ones. Settling them down into her personal table, she happens upon another thing she received - from the Mirage, of all things. Settling the brand-new Dual Swap on her table, she reached for the scripture she got from the ever-mysterious locale.

The glowing message offered aid to her if she recited a prayer before sleeping, written by one named...Cannibelle? She didn't know who could that be, but she was definitely not Santa tempted to take the scripture's offer. She hasn't gotten any closer to finding out as to how she could recover her magic after all this, and well...she could take all the help she could get. Should be fine...right?

Shaking off her doubts, she reread the scripture and rolled onto her bed. Taking in a deep breath, she sent a prayer to Canibelle. If there was a prewritten prayer within the scripture, Amitie would copy that.

After that, the young ex-mage-in-training would wrap herself around blankets and drift off to sleep. Now it was only a matter of seeing if that was gonna work or not...

[Cannibelle, Old Goddess]

...After Amitie prays and goes to bed, she experiences an incursion into her dreams. The first thing she'd likely notice was an odd smell, perhaps reminding her a bit of Raffina, as it distinctly resembled perfume. The second would be a divine voice calling out to her. “...Amitie... Amitie, wake up~!” the voice softly called. And awaiting Amitie when she opened her eyes would be a gigantic field of flowers she'd seemingly been laying in. This of course was a pretty unsubtle hint that she was still dreaming, as such a massive field of flowers would be quite the abnormality on Li. Nearby, tall woman bearing Palutena's likeness smiled down at her.

“...Actually, don't wake up just yet. I need you for just a moment~”

The tall woman took a couple of steps forth in an almost weightless looking fashion, bending over to get a closer look at Amitie's hair. She moved to delicately caress Amitie's cheek with one hand as concern raced across her face. Her gaze then shifted to Amitie's hat as she seemed to garner some kind of awareness of it. After a moment passed, she stepped back. “My name is Cannibelle, goddess of femininity, motherly and sisterly love, and girl power. As well as the many adjacent things falling under those umbrellas. I have heard your prayers and deigned you worthy of my blessing, your highness.” she began in a light-heartedly formal tone. “...To be honest though, you are the first person to pray to me in well over a millennia. A princess, no less! I feel a little giddy~!” she went on to remark, accompanied by a tiny fangirl squeal and an excitable squirm.

She then paused for a moment before continuing. “...I can see that something has definitely deprived you of what you are rightfully owed, and it does distress me to see you in such a state. Could you tell me a little about how this happened to you?” Cannibelle gingerly asked. She was hoping to sus out the cause of Amitie's depowering so that she could figure out the best way to assist her with it. “...And of course, you're more than welcome to ask any questions of me you might have.” she offered after another moment, conjuring up a large pink puyo and sitting on it as if it were a bean bag chair. A matching one was conjured up behind Amitie. They kinda squashed the flowers a bit, but they weren't real anyway right?

[Amitie, Sorceress Trainee!]

"Mm...?" Amitie slowly opened her eyes as she heard a voice, the faint smell of perfume lulling her slightly more awake. Well, I say 'awake', but she was still dreaming, as she herself would see through the dreamscape presented to her. Looking around the massive field of flowers she found herself in, her eyes met with...Palutena? --Wait, did Palutena have pink hair? Wasn’t it green? It had been a long, long while since she last saw her. Do gods...dye their hair?

In any case, Amitie had stood still, allowing the goddess to get up close and caress her cheek before she stepped back and introduced herself. "Ooh, so you're Cannibelle? Nice to meet you~" Amitie stated, quietly listening until she was caught her off-guard with the fact that she was the first one to pray for her for a really, really long while. "For real?? Why?" Amitie questioned. She sounded so nice! And a goddess of girl power should’ve been at least been heard of at least once or twice in the Magical Girl’s Society...right?

Amitie is snapped out of her brief questioning of the goddess' circumstance as Cannibelle requested to know more about why she lost her magic. She sits down on the Puyo beanbag chair the other created for her before speaking. "Well, it’s been a while since it happened, but...I remember I was walking back home at night, making my way through Brightwing Lane. And then, outta the corner of my eye, I saw this...person covered in white robes, from head to toe! I dunno why, but they suddenly come rushing towards me. I panicked and I began running away from them, tried to make them lose me, but eventually they just-- poofed right in front of me and grabbed me! In the face!" she began. "...I felt my magic leaving me. As they did this, they said to me that this was for my own good...and then I just kinda lost consciousness. When I woke up, Liddie was hovering over me in my bed. I've never seen her look so worried before!"

"I've been trying to find out how to get my magic back, but I haven't really found anything that could help me yet, so...I'm kinda stuck like this until I get somewhere with my search." Amitie said. "So...if you could help me, even just a little bit, I'd appreciate it!" she admitted.
