*From Mells Narative"
Mell squated down in front of Marissa whilst still playing with her dagger. She taught to herself about how she is going to train this girl to be a knight. In Dreamland, the knights who fight the evil with weapons of mass destruction and martial art skills were not the man, but the women. Let's just say women are more flexible both in body and mind. Men took on the brainy work while women took the braun.
"Tell me kid, what's your level with a dagger? Ever held a dagger before? Ever held anything in intention of attacking anyone or defending anyone or let's just say anything not to do with cooking, before? ". The look on Marissa's face was beyond amusing to Mell. As she knew the girl had no fight in her, Mell decided to undo the girls bounded hands.
"Hey Troy, let the girl go will ya? This one won't bite. I mean she could try.... but naah! "
Mell looked to her right and smiled when she saw Troy come out from behind a pillar. As expected of her fiance, he didn't need to be present in front of a person to inflict any spells on them. He sure didn't have to when he put a spell on her heart. Troy and Mell knew each other since they were kids, playing tag and watching weekend cartoon together. Once they grew up, feelings started to form on both sides and they got together. One of the top Knights and another top Mindbender of their community.
"Well technically she was free all along, I was just testing her mind to see if she could resist the mirage I set on her arms. Guess she needs training love" Troy said with a wink.
"Mell, can I trust you to be in charge of her training? I won't give her to anyone other than you given your track record in training and also handling newcomers. And I'll have troy to assist you, this girl needs to learn Alot in so little time" Ely who was watching and waiting for Mell and Troy to stop scaring the girl spoke up.
*Marissa's Narrative *
So I guess this Mell lady and Troy guy are an item, clearly sparks are exploding right before my eyes. I didn't answer when Mell asked me about the daggers, I didn't want to seem even more pathetic as I am now. I've never been an active kid, there's no way I can take on Mell. The moment Troy said my bounds were a mirage, I tested it and true enough I was free. It felt like wind between my hands when he said it. What were these people? Are they even people?
" Excuse me, you all seem to speak as if I know anything you guys are talking about. I sincerely have no clue and I think the faster you explain to me the faster we can resolve whatever we need to resolve and all of us can move on as if nothing happens. Mell, I'm the worst at anything physical so good luck on your side. Troy, I might be able to learn better with you because I'm good at studying, and you Ely, what are you all? You told me more severe pain is coming to me soon. Unless you tell me just what you are you might as well just throw me off this ship because I'm not doing nothing for anyone of you.
I could clearly see a smirk come from all of them when I finally opened up my mouth and let it all out. "Well at least we know she is a curious one. My name is Ely, as I have stated, I'm an incubus, there are many types of incubuses existing in this world just so you know.Before you get ahead of yourself, I do not go and sleep with human girls. I survive on their dreams though. That's how I found you, finally after eating so many young girls dreams, I stumbled onto your dream, gotta say though kiddo, I pity you and your nightmares".
"Hey Ely, just curious, any of those dreams were naughty ones? I mean you must've had a good time in few of them no? " Troy said this and got a nice elbow to his groin from Mell. "Hey kiddo, I'm Troy, a Mindbender, I'm a mix blood, you see there are incubuses that actualy sleep with women and get babies out of it. So yeah Mell and I are halflings.
Mell didn't bother introducing herself to me, their explanation just made me even more confused. Half of me really thought I was still in a dream and there's no way I'm talking to an Incubus, a Mindbender and an Amazonian looking lady. The other half of me was wondering, where do I fit in all of this? Why was I here? With them?
