Everyone froze on the spot they stood, stopping to look at her closely. Winter noticed they seemed to be scared of her for some reasons, maybe it was because she looked like them but had abilities beyond their understanding. she studied the activities for a while, the people were still recovering from the attack the day before. A hint of guilt hit Winter, all these feelings were new to her. She wouldn't have felt bad about all of this, if she wasn't bent on getting the answers she was looking for, she never would have come in contact with Mania although at the cost of thousands of innocent lives. It would have repeated history only with a different tale to tell.
As she walked on the street that led to the castle, people spat on the ground to show their hatred. Winter put cold look on her face, she would not tolerate nonsense from humans or let them disrespect her just because she declared peace with them. She continued walking ignoring the mood of the people who watched her .
Winter had only walked for a while when she felt something hit her cloak and fall to the ground she looked to see what it was. A STONE. She looked around and her eyes caught two men laughing pointing hands at her. Winter stretched her hearing in to hear them properly.
" She's a mere witch pretending to be something she's not ". She heard one say.
" Every filthy spell she casts gives her away, pretty but foolish ". The other one said.
" I bet Morbius could teach her a good lesson, she looks weak".They both laughed together.
Winter clenched her fist. They dared to mock and take advantage of her now she had made peace. *Stupid humans I'll show them*, she thought.
Winter slowly freezed thier lungs just with her gaze watching them gasp for air, they struggled and fell to the ground holding their neck desperately seeking for air. Everyone around watched in horror as the men kept struggling on the ground.
" Having troubles my lady? "
* I know that voice, why do I know that voice?* Winter released the men instantly only turn around and see Morbius. * Always making an entrance I see *. Winter thought. He seemed to be everywhere watching her waiting for her every Qwrong move. " No I do not see any trouble around, do you? ". She smiled devilishly.
Morbius came to her side and offered his hands. Winter put her hand in his and they walked together, the people shocked to see the unity between the two. " You know people around here wouldn't like seeing you walk passed their homes you ruined, you could have easily come directly to me"
" well you tell me Morbius won't an ant walk to take food to it's queen? "
" Well when the ant is born special it needs not to "
" Mania talked about a war. Explain that to me ". Winter asked looking towards Morbius.
" That my lady I do not know. But the prophecy called it The great battle. Our people believe it's the non ending war between your people and humanity"
" I have closed that chapter, why does she believe I still need preparation? "
" Do not haste time my lady, the puzzle aren't placed well yet. The missing piece will bind, In light or darkness the elements shall rise reincarnated in mortality and shall end the great battle ". Morbius turned to look at Winter now. " you are that missing piece as far as I know. Now I just need to figure out the rest". He said facing his front.
They walked through the castle's hall ways. Winter admired every sculpture. It was not safe to embrace this feeling now that she knew her who she was. This feeling was short as they bumped into Renoe who seemed to be in a hurry. He stopped, clearly surprised seeing her back in the castle with Morbius. She felt discomfort as he analyzed her head to toe.
For the first time Renoe admired her beauty and the way her eyes looked at his made his heart skip a beat. He shrugged off this feeling placing his two hands behind his back. " You didn't tell us you were coming"
" I didn't come for you, know that" Winter said fiercely the incident of the other replaying in her mind.
" I requested her presence my prince? " Morbius said smiling.
* prince?, this filthy rat is the prince? ". winter asked herself surprised.
" I can see that " Renoe said looking at their joined hands. " I also see new friendship" he smiled looking at Winter who was unshaken by it. " Why don't we leave the past behind us?, after all we are not enemies now are we?" he said stretching out a hand to shake winter.
Winter stared at his hands...
