Dyllis sighed in contempt, her long blue hair swayed softly from the gentle breeze. She sat on top of a branch waiting for Prince Eric Valentine to appear out of thin air or by carriage, whatever he decided to choose.
Today was the day, after gaining a bit of his trust she had decided to feed him to her clan members ``If only you weren't a threat to our survival" she mumbled to herself, tears prickled at the corners of her eyes threatening to fall.
Did she want to murder him? No, she didn't, it would forever weigh onto her consciousness. Unlike the townspeople she had killed, she didn't know them or had a fundamental bond with them. In conclusion, to make herself feel less guilty she was going to get her clan members to kill him.
Glop, glop! Glop!
Dyllis snapped out of her trace of thought and looked at the approaching carriage with weary eyes, She had already summoned her magic that spun like a whirlpool behind her, ready to attack if needed. Two beautiful steeds with midnight black fur slowed down as soon as she jumped out of the tree, onto the gravel road with a lazy grin on her beautiful human-looking features.
Coming to a full stop the steeds nighed in dissatisfaction, the driver of the said coach looked mildly upset "Get out of the way young lass before my young lord loses his temper" He hollered at her in a scolding tone.
Dyllis kept her lazy expression but closed her eyes, then took a huge inhale. She opened her eyes again with the same lazily expression "I will take his highness from here on '' She announced her intention and dismissed her magic to seem less threatening.
The driver's eyes flashed with astonishment before getting replaced with the same agitated look "I dunno what-" He began, the cannibal appeared right in front of him in a blink of an eye. Sighing, she walked to the coach door and swung it open.
"Hello prince eric" She greeted the human prince with a warm smile, he looked slightly surprised "Why are you waiting for me? so far from your home?" He asked genuinely concerned. "Y-your highness do you know this young lady?" The coachman asked, looking bewelled from the two interactions.
The prince eyed the coachman coldly "I will be leaving with this young lady, you are dismissed" Eric hopped out of the carriage. The carriage driver looked conflicted for a moment, nodding hesitantly before driving off. Dyllis let out a breath of cool air "Well we are going by teleportation formation since the distance is pretty far from my original home" the wendigo finally answered as she began to walk into the bushes with blood-red flowers.
"What kind of flowers are these?" he asked in amazement, the unusual but elegant flowers with three blossoms on top stood at 3ft in height. It had many red-like tubes sticking upwards with a curl.
Dyllis smiled sadly at the prince "They are called red spider lilies, they are one of my favorites from a place I have visited before '' the wendigo replied. The prince eyed the flowers in awed, Dyllis picked up a few dozen and began weaving them into a flower crown.
"Your highness please wear this" she stopped in her tracks and place the red spider lily flower crown on his head, This is Dyllis's way of saying goodbye. She wanted him to see these beautiful flowers before he died 'Killing him is for the greater good' she convinced herself "what is this called?" he asked about the silly thing she had put on his head.
"A flower crown, your highness considers it as my first gift towards you" she replied in her normal tone of voice she had always held around the prince. They finally made it to a circled clearing, the formation has black lines engraved into the ground. Dyllis bit into her hand, sucking on her blood before spitting it out onto the formation, successfully activating the teleportation.
Blacklight engulfed both individuals teleporting millions of particles to Dyllis' welcoming cavern. The wendigo shaman stepped out of the formation and leaned against the cavern walls trying not to vomit up her breakfast.
The prince copied Dyllis's actions, holding his hand to his mouth afraid he was going to hurl. After a few moments both of them straighten themselves out and Dyllis walks towards a fixed direction with Eric following her close behind. Eric's eyes wander all over the place "Where are we?" he asked, the blue hair girl glanced back at him "My home" she replied curtly like usual.
She brought him into a large room filled with people of all ages laughing and playing games like normal humans, they all looked quite normal except for the few parts of their body where blue veins shone dimly. Eric looked at the wendigos in awe, every one of them was different from one another some were even beast folk.
The most common beast folk that could be seen were deers and stags, the males had antlers sprouted from their heads with some sort of black string tangled up in them. The happy atmosphere with loud laughter quieted down, everyone stood up and proceed to get down on one knee.
Eric looked surprised at the large group of people of different descent "Welcome home Lady Dyllis" they greeted the young wendigo shaman with small smiles revealing the powerful canines. Dyllis nodded her head in satisfaction "Everyone I will like you to meet Prince Eric Valentine, he will be joining us for lunch today" the shaman introduce the human prince.
The horde of wendigos eyed the prince hungrily like a pack of starving animals, before they can even think about attacking the prince a firm voice enter their mind "Don't be greedy, I did say he will join lunch didn't I?" it was no other than their leader.
The wendigos straighten up with smiles and greeted the human prince warmly "We welcome you to our humble cavern" they spoke politely.
They soon return to what they were doing earlier, Dyllis turned around and drag the prince behind her to give him the full tour of the cavern that has been renovated.
Soon it was lunch, a dull bang sound throughout the cavern alerting every cannibal what time it was. Dyills and Tobca were the first to enter the dining room.
With a heavy heart the baby blue haired girl waited patiently till everyone has enter the dinning room.
