Alysia's room
Alysia: postinur
Postinur: (appears) Yes, Ally
Alysia: Hey, you shocked me!
Postinur: (smirks) well you called
Alysia: anyways, I was coming up, just now and I thought I saw a shadow past me quickly
Postinur: A shadow? That's your imagination princess. Or maybe a maid ran quickly and you saw her shadow
Alysia: I guess so. There aren't any spirits here, other than you
Postinur: yeap.
Alysia: but still, I wonder, why is there a spirit detector in the hallway
Postinur: I don't know. Probably for safety measures. Common Ally, don't be worried. There aren't any spirits around the castle. Infact no one here believes in spirits and ghosts
Alysia: except me
Postinur: yes, because you can see me
Alysia: Are there any other spirits outside the castle, like in the empire and abroad? You can't be the only spirit in the world, can u?
Postinur: oh little Alysia, stop bothering yourself about it.
Alysia: I told you, I'm not little. My 13 year old birthday is soon. So I'm not little
Postinur: sure you are not little, my little Aly
Alysia: postinur! (Postinur smirks) Hey, I remember something. I heard two maids talking, whispering actually. But I couldn't make out what they said
Postinur: why bother yourself. If you couldn't make out what they said, hmm? (Smirks)
Alysia: common, being curious isn't a sin. And stop teasing me, okay?
Postinur: hehehehe. Sorry your highness.
Alysia: whatever
Postinur: they might be gossiping. You know, maids and gossips. It's nothing special
Alysia: alright postinur (yawns) I'm sleepy. I wanna go to bed. Today was exhausting
Postinur: goodnight, beautiful Ally. Sleep tight
Alysia: thanks (sleeps)
Postinur: something's amiss. I need to talk to the King (makes a protective ring of fire around Alysia and disappears)
In the king's private courtyard
Postinur: (Appears)
King Klein: (senses a spirit) postinur, what brings you here at this time
Postinur: your highness (bows) long may you reign
King Klein: yes?
Postinur: your highness. It's about your daughter, princess Alysia
King Klein: (a little scared) what is about her. How's my daughter!
Postinur: she's fine your highness. The thing is that, she said she saw something like a shadow pass her while she was going up to her room
King Klein: what? Why didn't the spirit detector sound? (Rings a bell) Calvin. Come here this instant!!
Calvin: (enters hurriedly) your highness (bows) you called
King Klein: Calvin, why isn't the spirit detector working?
Calvin: (surprised that the king knows) I'm so sorry your highness. I and my team are working on it. We didn't know how it got spoilt.
King Klein: make sure it's repaired before the dawn of the day!
Calvin: yes your highness (bows)
King Klein: get out! (Calvin runs out) Damn! A spirit must have entered here
Postinur: my sense tells me it came to get information and left
King Klein: who would have sent it. I thank the gods, it didn't hurt Alysia
Postinur: yes your highness. But I must suggest something, your highness. I can't be with Alysia all the time. You know, the spirit detector. Why don't we look for something or someone to protect her and follow her everywhere
King Klein: no, Alysia doesn't like people. Besides finding a right person for that will be abortive. I will ask the seer to make a bracelet of protection for her. But mind you, you are to still do your job as to protecting her always, till she's strong enough and have gone through all phases
Postinur: that I swear to do your highness
King Klein: good. You have always been obedient. You can go now
Postinur: goodnight your highness. (Disappears)
King Klein: what spirit could that be? I just hope odessy doesn't know of this, she would be so worried. Hmm. I will call for the seer, first thing tomorrow morning, at the break of the day
