Back to me.
I'm currently sitting in the water after heating it with 2 flame wisps spells. I must admit I have a truly flawless body. Well at least for a child :P. Funny I don't remember anything about my other life. I wonder if I was such a cute little girl then too? So I found out that creating a wing is incredibly difficult, but I'm so awfully close! +Ping ping ping+ huh it's my perimeter defense, I wonder who or what is so foolish to literally get lost in tier nine misdirection runes. I use a spell of remote viewing and I gasp in shock!!! That's an army or at least a squadron of knights and oh they have mages too roughly 400 of them and it appears only two have qualifications to breach the misdirection runes, hehehe but not the concealment rune this goes on for about a minute or so. !! I shout out "You fools are far too young to challenge someone as great and awesome as I!!!!! But tarry not I will ensure you leave in one piece although tired!"
??? "Wow, my majesty wasn't kidding, she is completely sane and awfully egotistical isn't she?"
The voice a few places from behind me says it's a stern and cold voice but it also sounds amused? Another voice ??? "Indeed Sir Xander, seriously little Witch those runes were not horribly complex… I honestly found it easy to breach" this other voice is a soft feminine voice that sounds like she's treating me like a child playing hide and go seek. Turning around in indignation I look at the two and say the first thing that comes to my head T.T "Y-YOU MEAN BULLIES, YOU COULD OF P-PRE-PRETENED TO…. *sob* HAAAVE A HARD TIM!!!!" I collapse on the ground and start pulling grass sulking… no I'm not pouting! I'm… I'm coping? Yes coping! I can't seem to get over the fact that it took them like 1 minute to get here…
POV Sir Xander Flambera
Looking around the forest I seem to be separated from my men and instantly become alert. Finding a tree and marking it I immediately cancel out the misdirection rune… seriously -_- I got stupid lucky, like seriously who marks a rune on a tree?! I just marked the tree to get out as I know such a high tier rune will be almost impossible to bypass but I coincidentally destroyed it! … I found a little girl in rags not long after. Watching my men quite literally walking in circles and giggling to herself, it's soft and pleasing to the ears. She starts bragging about her runes I watch on with her braggadocio ways I just sigh and wait for my head mage Mikayla Turnertym. After she arrives I respond to her last comments " Wow, my majesty wasn't kidding, she is completely sane and awfully egotistical though isn't she?" Mikayla Turnertym then mocks the little ones runes, and that is when she turns around I thought to myself what kind of reaction a Witch has to the situation…. When I see her face and that's when I know we bit way more than we could chew. Those eyes are definitive proof of being a Witch indeed. But why is she crying and no no … is is she pouting?!
POV Mikayla Turnertym
I easily tell this is an incredibly powerful rune to deceive all cardinal senses and shoot a small fireball at a small pine and ignite it, so I can find my way after being separated by the magic and find my way but I see it is literally dispelled. At first I thought it was because they're underestimating me but I catch a carving on the bark of the pine and I slap my hand into my head "what a moron?! Who wastes precious resources like this?! On a freaking tree!!!! Once I find my way I see Xander just standing there watching a little girl witch? Witch girl? Whatever laughing at our troops who are in fact marching in circles and are none the wiser. After Xander asks me a question I respond thusly "Indeed Sir Xander, seriously little Witch those runes were not horribly complex… I honestly found it easy to breach." But I see the little one turn around and dear God such a beautiful and adorable face! But the tears running down her cheeks are really not a good sign and then she collapses and complains that we should have just played along while sobbing up a storm.. kah my heart can't take it, so I do something incredibly stupid. Commander Xander "careful Mikayla?!" I go up to a witch and give her a hug. Huh.. she's warm and the magic radiating off her is soothing. My senses kick in and she attacks while crying as she hits my chest and stomach. I tense up and I notice a large disparity between her and Witches I've fought…. She is physically incredibly weak. So weak in fact I start laughing "M-my sides pffffft stop! It Tickles!!!" She's shouting "take this, and take that!" But honestly I know 5 year olds who hit harder. I look at Xander who has his palm on his blade and wave him off. This thing, this tiny ball of fury is no more threatening than a Merkrat.
POV to me
The strange girl looks at me with pity and… kindness. I reject it! I'll go down swinging and start releasing all I have once she starts hugging me "Take this and that!" But I just stop and the sorrow of being alone starts bubbling up I feel my arms unconsciously wrap around her waist and start to full on sob I've been alone long enough for my last life … I don't want to be alone again. "Please don't… *sob* hurt me! Please I *sniff* don't want to… *sob* be alone!!!" My pain from being alone for 10 years with no one to really talk to hits me with full force. I feel so weak, so.. tired. Last thing I remember is someone gently rubbing my head before going unconscious. Darkness and all the sorrow I know is all over really ever known.
POV Mikayla Turnertym
I freeze as the little bundle starts squeezing my waist and she makes a heart wrenching sob and a cry for help. I can hear the years of loneliness in both. Then slowly her breathing slows and falls asleep but she still cries. Rubbing her head gently like my mother did for me when I was sad, I turned to Xander "We can't give this little one to the church!" As I pick her up I hear a soft almost something I miss from the little girl "I'm… so lonely.." taking a minor defensive posture, I won't allow such a creature who holds this misery be burned by the damn church and their rules. Xander Flambera just turns to leave and stays there "I was given two orders by his and her majesty 1: to bring a witch to the church and the other 2: if said witch is just as Princess Victoria Del Brightstar described I was given a different order…" looking at his back and swallowing "the other order?" He turns around and grins ``Sorry Mikayla I can't say, but it doesn't involve the church per queens orders."I grit my teeth and my thoughts go straight to Duke Rytur, he might be a perfect guardian. For a few seconds and my brain finally kicks in, hmmm Duke Rytur Del Brightstar has always been against the Church since its establishment 35 years ago after the great pestilence. He would be the only one strong enough to protect this little one but he can't give her a title nor name Del Brightstar is reserved for the true born Royal family. "Are you certain she won't be handed to the church?" He waits patiently and his grin blows to a full on smileas if he read my mind and nods "Duke Rytur always wanted a daughter huh?" I get up and stand by his side. While also smiling "then lets not keep him waiting!"
