After a while Fia and the orange-eyed man arrive at a large table with sparkling candelabras, it was full of fruit, meat, fish, dairy products of everything and more.
There were a lot of people sitting at the table.
The chairs were made of very high quality wood and were almost perfectly smooth.
Fia's eye fell on the person sitting at the head chair of the table.
He was an old man with a thick beard and white eyes despite his age his skin was in excellent condition there was not even a wrinkle or at least from a distance it seemed so.
To the right of the man was a woman dressed in light blue her eyes were a deep black, her hair was a whitish color and she had an elegant and unique bearing.
In front of that woman was another man whose head was turned towards the old man.
That man was young, about twenty years old, his hair was long and of a light blue color, his eyes were brown, Fia also noticed that the cheek he was showing had a scar that was not very deep though.
Another person who caught Fia's attention was another man with very long red hair and black eyes, he seemed very experienced in war and his body was very muscular, that man was talking and laughing with two other people.
One was a girl with soft blond hair and a cute face, her eyes were of a unique emerald green, while she was laughing she put her hand covered by long white gloves near her mouth, classic of a proper young lady.
The other man instead had blue hair and slightly old features, he seemed a little advanced in age, his eyes were light blue, it seemed that those eyes reflected the calm sea.
Observing all the people Fia noticed a seat missing.
The old man turned his head and noticed her and called her.
"Oh! You've arrived, come and sit next to her." The old man's voice was calm but authoritative and he pointed to the free seat next to the woman in blue.
"My lady, go, don't you want to make the others wait?" said the man who had accompanied her, pushing her on her back.
Fia, moved by the push, had no choice but to go and sit down.
Sitting down, the old man coughed slightly and said: "Well, now that our guest has arrived we can begin, let's raise our glasses and celebrate. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" They all said raising their glasses full of wine.
Fia was a little reluctant to eat as she looked at all the food present. She swallowed a little saliva when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, it's not poisoned or anything like that, your reaction is completely normal. But don't worry, they don't want to kill you. And I apologize if you ended up in that empty space, it wasn't our intention. Now, don't worry and eat as much as you want." The woman with the whitish hair spoke to her, her voice was serene and calm.
Fia suddenly felt like she was dying of hunger and had no other choice.
With the shiny silver fork on the table and the silver knife she took the meat and cut it, the freshly cut meat released the juice and a unique aroma impossible to describe in words and feelings.
She put the piece of meat in her mouth and a unique flavor spread through her mouth in an instant, Fia's pupils dilated at how good it was.
She tried the bread, it was crunchy but at the same time soft.
She drink a glass of wine a feeling of freshness but also a slight acidity was in her mouth.
She took an apple it was a perfect red and took a bite, it was juicy and the apple juice was refreshing.
She also took some cheese which was cut into small pieces, it was slightly spicy but also sweet.
She eats everything discover flavors never tasted before that were impossible to make on earth, it really seemed like a dream to her, the old man at the head of the table suddenly spoke. "Is it good?"
Fia just shook her head in approval while eating, she obviously does not overdo it in eating but I eat as a respectable gentlewoman should do.
'How is it possible how can it be so good? I've never tasted anything like it' thought Fia while she was eating, she didn't attract much attention because the other people were eating too but they looked at her people gave her a slight smile.
After finishing eating the head of the table turned his kind gaze to Fia and said in a sorry voice: "Unfortunately our time is over, I hope we will meet again soon and that maybe we would have more time for now it's over."
"What?" Suddenly the space around Fia began to distort.
The people sitting at the table looked at her smiling.
"Good luck!" Said the young boy smiling at her.
"Good luck girl!" Said the man with long red hair.
"Good luck and know that you are very pretty." Said the girl with blonde hair with a very soft and slightly embarrassed voice.
"You can do it good luck." Said the man with blue hair.
"Good luck." Said the old man and the woman.
Then all together said: "Good luck and let's hope we meet again."
"My lady it is time." Fia also heard the voice of the orange-eyed man who was bowing towards her.
Suddenly she regains the five senses of her real body she opened her eyes and sees her body covered by red flames.
Fia's face was extremely surprised as she saw her body covered in flames, however it didn't burn her clothes for some strange reason, she had never seen anything like it maybe they are in the books but she wasn't sure she looked behind her and saw the demon that was burning.
