The surrounding atmosphere increased along with the soldiers' perplexed expressions.
"What is she talking about?" A few soldiers whispered among themselves.
The pressure was too intense for Senja, she clutched her chest tightly.
What was this? Were her senses getting sharper? She could feel everyone's emotions. It's too tiring.
Then some words from the old woman resounded in her head.
Is this what that old woman meant by 'increased my senses'? huh… it's not helpful at all. Why don't you give me something more powerful? Like a fire laser from my eyes, fly in the sky, teleport to another place, or even the ability to disappear? I really need the last oneright now.
"Excuse me…" Senja talked in a low voice, however it was enough to make all the soldiers quieten down and look at her in anticipation. She felt that too. She sighed before continuing, "Can I have some clothes please?" She said awkwardly.
There was silence afterwards, a pin could drop and everyone would've heard it, nobody moved, nobody gave any reactions.
"Clothes please…?" Senja repeated again in a reminder tone. She has to get rid of their emotions because it was unrelated to her own. She got annoyed at their lack off reaction and became more furious because of the feelings of anxiousness they were sending her.
She stared at them one by one while the other party avoided her eyes.
"Give her clothes and take her to captain Hua!" The first soldier from before finally gained his awareness and gave an order to a soldier that was behind him. Not long after that, someone brought a grey lousy robe. Senja frowned upon seeing that piece of cloth, she has never worn something as lousy as that but she wisely didn't utter a word.
"Quick. Wear this. It's not good for others to see," Said a soldier while he handed the robe to her.
Not good my ass. You are blushing rightnow young pal! Senja grumbled in her heart. She quickly wrapped her body with the robe. The robe was very big, the length almost reached her knees, while the sleeves made her hands disappear. Ugh!
"Bring her to Captain Hua!"
After the order fell, four soldiers unsheathed their swords then surrounded Senja to escort her.
"Wait, what is this? You don't need to draw your sword, do you?" I can't fight all of you. I don't have basic martial arts anyways.
But the soldiers didn't say anything and just gestured for Senja to move. Out of options, Senja just followed along. It didn't seem like they would kill her anytime soon.
Whilst she was walking with the soldiers that were escorting her, she was able to analyze her current predicament. This was the craziest thing that has ever happened to her and she still found it hard to accept it. She still felt like Sian would pop out from somewhere anytimenow and tell her that the situation she was in right now was just one of his stupid pranks like usual.
But even if this was just a prank, Sian definitely couldn't pull it through! This was too surreal, this all seemed too real. Did the old woman really threw her back to ancient times? How did she do that? Was she really a witch?
Senja shook her head, her head felt dizzy from thinking of all the possibilities.
After another short analysis Senja realized three things. First, she was inside a fortress. She was quite sure about this.
Second, this fortress was filled with anxious soldiers, it seemed like there was something big going on.
Third, she was completely sure that she was sent back to the ancient times. This was completely insane! Oh, and one more thing that she noticed, was that she had become more sensitive to the moods of the people around her and if she couldn't control it, it would affect her own mood. It felt like she turned into a human mood detector. This revelation dawned on her just now.
Great! Now I have a useless superpower.
