"I don't think they saw my face, but there's a chance they'll try and look again," Melora said. "The king of where I'm from is always hell-bent on catching any criminal, wether they did do it, or if he just flat out assumes it."
Melora thought for a bit. Not only was she surprised that he talked this much to her, even if it was just to explain why the book seemed so important, she recalled seeing that mage who carried it around town other times to. She'd catch him actually performing some spells from the book in the...
Melora thought she already explained that, but she nodded. "Those soilders were trying to catch me because of that book I gave you," She said. "Aside from poor people like me being forbidden to learn magic in the first place, I can't really imagine why that book in particular seemed so important...
Melora nodded and headed into the monastery. She couldn't believe she was doing this. She was taught how to cook things like this by her parents though, so it should be fine. Kinda a step up from home at least anyway.. Walking into the the kitchen, she looked for the necessary supplies. She...
"I didn't think you'd tell me anyway," Melora said, looking forward as they walked. Had he always been this rude to people? It was no surprise for her to ever meet someone like that, considering the nobles and other high classes back in the kingdom. Hemset, despite some of the things he's done...
Something about that told Melora that him letting her go a different being fine with it wasn't exactly the case. It might be tough for him to warm up to her, or even the other way around. "Fine, I'll help you out again," Melora said with a sigh.
Melora stopped and looked at him. "I'm not trying to rude," She said. "I was going to help you get better, and then leave like you wanted me to and try to find somewhere else to go. I didn't expect you to change your mind like that or whatever."
Melora frowned a bit. Yep, it was him alright. "I was only trying to see if you were alright," She said. "I didn't expect to fall asleep." She got out of bed and headed for the door. "I'll be leaving. It's about time to go now." She walked out.
"Take...Away..." Melora muttered. Her eyes opened up. She looked around for a bit, trying to recall her surroundings, and then took notice of the boy. "Oh! You're ok," Melora said. She was happy to see that, but the slight drowsiness in her voice made it sound like she didn't care. Melora...
Now he really reminded her of peasant boys from home. They would stay in her arms like this when she and her parents would occasionally help out other poor peasants like herself. It made her smile a bit.
Lakar? Who was that? Melora thought and caught him as he fell then sat him up on her lap. She probably shouldn't try and get into it though, as it shouldn't be any of her business. "Um...Mage?" She spoke to the boy. She couldn't tell if it had any effect.
Melora sat next to him, wondering what she should do, but then the boy's eyes began to flutter open-if only slightly. He spoke what she needed to do and headed to the kitchen. She looked around for the cups and found some in a cabinet above the sink. Melora filled it with water and hurried back...
Just as Melora was walking down the narrow path that led to the entrance of this place, a loud yelp followed by what also sounded like an explosion rang in her ears. It was so loud, she thought they'd burst.The ground shook and rumbled for a bit too. Melora yelped and clung on to a nearby tree...
About an hour had passed by the time Melora woke up. It was dark out and the stars were in the dark blue sky. Nighttime already? Melora would have to leave soon. She looked around and noticed the food in front of her and a fork. Now that she saw this, Melora realized that she was a little...
Melora sighed at the realization of this. How could anyone, eventhe boy, live in such a big place, all alone without a care in the world. She would try and explore a little more, but she didn't think it'd be worth it. That, and the boy may not like it anyway. Instead, she sat outside in the...
Melora just watched him scurry about. She smiled at the sudden child-like person he was being right now, she kinda felt like she was overstaying her welcome. That, and he couldn't care less about her right now anyway, she just made her way out of the library.
