Romilda could feel the cold night air blowing her, she was cold and hungry but she decided to ignore it since she didn't have anything that would help soothe her present condition,
the muscles of her leg were already shaking and the heels of her feet were sore from trekking much distance, she doesn't even know where she is going or where to go since she has never gone far away from her pack before,
she was grateful for the moon for shining so bright, making her see her path much clearer,
she cleared the thick heavy grasses that blocked her path with her hands, most of them with tall shadowed pines stretching up like arrows and piercing her hands, she could hear the wind slipping through leaves, twigs and dry leaves snapping whenever she steps on them, the smell of rotten leaves and tree sap was too strong it made her belly to grumble,
she suddenly came in contact with a big spider web which frightens her as she struggled to push the invisible thread away but end up falling, bumping her head on a stone, 'is this how I was meant to die,' she said to herself as tears began to flow from her eyes, the fall was making her dizzy and lightheaded, her view becoming more blurry before she passed away.
...
Romilda felt pain all through her body like as if all the bones in her body needed to be refixed again, she tried to open her eyelid which felt so heavy, she finally opened her eyes but closed them quickly due to the bright light that penetrated her eyes,
she took a deep breath before opening her eyes again but this time blocking the light with her hands, she noticed that she was in a different environment, it was someone's house and she was sleeping on a bed, she quickly tried to get up but the pain in her body wouldn't let her do so,
she did it slowly this time finally able to sit down at the edge of the bed, her clothes had been changed into a different one and her body seems clean,
'where am I,' she asked herself, taking one more look at her present environment before the sound of the door opening caught her attention, she quickly flicked her head backward to see who it was,
it was a young girl around her age, she had coral black hair that flows to her back with pure white skin and Hazel eyes which were gazing deep through Romilda, she was shorter than Romilda and also slender, if not for the current situation of Romilda, she would have a much thicker body than her,
"good morning sister," she greeted Romilda walking towards her,
"sister!!!," Romilda said, shocked at how she addressed her, even her sister would not address her that way,
"yes, that's how we Witcher address ourselves," she said as Romilda suddenly whispered an ohhh, understanding who she was now,
"you shouldn't be standing, you're still too weak, sit here on the bed," she said directing Romilda towards the bed, opening the basket to bring out the meal she brought for Romilda,
"here, this would do, I hope it will satisfy you," she asked Romilda who was laughing inside of her, she's been hungry for the past three days with nothing to even taste, and here was a full plate of rice and chicken bigger than the ones she usually ate in the nightshade pack that was looking quite scrumptious with the glass of orange juice, why on earth will this not do,
"This is very okay, I should be more grateful to you for this," Romilda said, giving her a thankful look,
"It's okay if it's not enough just let me know ok," she told Romilda, who nodded her head before hurriedly eating her food, while the girl went to sit on the empty chair that was close to the bed.
she stood up to pick up the empty plate that Romilda ate on, although Romilda was still hungry, she didn't want to ask for more, she felt that was greedy since the girl was just helping her and she doesn't know if she has enough for her self,
the girl came back quickly when she was done dropping the plates, sitting down on the previous chair she was sitting in before she left,
"so may I know your name and what mystic you are," the girl inquired, keeping a focused gaze on her,
"My name is Romilda, I grew up with the wolves but I'm not sure if I'm one of them," Romilda told her how she felt all those years, after all, she was the one who helped her,
"Why did you say that," she inquired curiously,
"Because I can do magic," Romilda said which made her chuckle,
"How can a wolf perform magic," she asked, trying not to laugh about what Romilda said,
"I don't know too, on my sixteen birthday, I wasn't able to turn and I got banished from my pack after performing magic to save the alpha," she said, remembering the horrible day, no one even felt pity for her even her parents, no matter how much they had disliked her they didn't even feel the slightest pity on her, they all encouraged the queen to throw her out,
"you seem to have gone through a lot," she said coming closer to wipe away her tears, "you don't have to cry again, your safe here now," she said pulling her into a hug which Romilda receive wholeheartedly, it been long since Romilda hugged someone, she doesn't even remember the last time someone hugged her or try to even do so, the girl finally let go smiling at her,
"When you have enough strength in you, I'll take you to meet our priestess," she told Romilda,
"May I know your name," Romilda asked her,
"My name is Mia," she told Romilda
"thank you, Mia,"
"it's okay you don't mention, you can sleep for now, maybe tomorrow I'll show you around, I'll be coming to check on you, anytime I have the chance, I'll also bring your meal later," she told Romilda who just nodded her head watching Mia leave the room, this is the first time Romilda has seen her banishment as a good one,
"at least I have someone who cares for me, even without knowing me for a long time,' she says to herself, hoping to meet more people like Mia the next day,
