Arrow 5
Everyone's been given such incredible powers! The island certainly has been quite generous with us this time, though it seems I wasn't among the ones to be blessed. It hardly matters to me, at any rate; I've remembered so much more about my dear Lord Pent, and nothing could make me happier!
He was searching for a wife, and so many women had gathered to charm him. He wouldn't see any of the ladies until she had demonstrated a skill or talent. Everyone displayed abilities that would be fitting for the wife of a Count, from singing and dancing to poetry... I felt so very out of place, as I had none of those talents. My parents were not what one would consider to be typical nobles, and my father encouraged my love of archery instead of forcing me to study the ways of court against my will. I was thankful to him, of course; however that day was the only time I've ever felt even the slightest bit ashamed of my upbringing that I can recall.
When it was my turn, although I was filled with anxiety, I stated that my skill was with the bow, and that if he would choose me, I would protect him forevermore. The other ladies were filled with scorn and their laughter caused me to flush with embarrassment... until he spoke. I never thought I'd forget the way he smiled at me then, or his words that filled me with such joy... The gods of this place have power indeed to take such memories from me.
I'll not let that discourage me, however! Not only have I regained those precious memories, I am lucky enough to be here with my dearest Lord Pent, as well as our son. What more could I possibly ask for?
((Louise does have a superpower, she just doesn't realize it. She has mental projection, so anyone near her will feel their mood altered by her own. She's very happy right now and will likely remain that way for quite a while, so anyone that talks to her for a bit should find themselves cheering up as well, even if they were previously miserable.))
