I hurried along the long corridors my foot steps echoing with each step, Hylmore the current ruler of Shagun the land in the sky summoned me to have a meeting, others were chosen to meet her but returned drooping, from experience she is not one to sugar coat her words. As I came to the gold and silver door I knew for sure this was no ordinary meeting because there were more guards than usual.

"HALT IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!!

What business do you have with the great Hylmore?" The guard asked in a demanding tone.

"I came for the meeting."

The guard looked at the other and said to me,

"Show us your invitation."

(That strange I thought as I handed them the invite never have they been so...cautious. And since when was it a thing that the one of great Lords had to have an invitation to met Hylmore? )The guard's eyes wided as he saw my invite.

"M-my lord p-p-please forgive me for my rudeness earlier I didn't know what I was doing!" He stammered.

I walked past him without giving a reply.

"What trouble did you get us into?!" The other guard asked, his comrade opened his mouth to give a reply but his voice fades away as I open the doors I walk in to the room that was emtpy except for a few decorations I wondered again why she summoned me at such short notice, I glanced up as I took a bow, Hylmore was up on her throne looking grandiose as usual, Her bright red hair and dark blue eyes and delicate features was canceled out by her Her threatening stare and looming shadow.

"Is there a reason you summoned me your highness?" Hylmore let's out a spine chilling laugh and said with a hint of sinister satisfaction and said

"Good good you have proved yourself worthy."

"Do forgive but I fail to understand" I said even though I well knew what she meant, Hylmore has this feeling of ownership over people so she expects to be always right, so as her pawn you have to put down your intelligence to please her, more precisely she is  narcissistic so you-

"FOCUS!!" Yelled Hylmore startling me back to reality.

"I am sorry" I muttered.

"I don't appreciate this behavior in my palace" 

I nod silently, Wow you really like being powerful huh? I thought.

 "Let me continue with the matter at hand" Hylmore began" Boshi you have not been here so you don't know what's going on at the moment."

Huh? She called me by my nickname? Koroyami has been growing stronger lately and is attacking us at the moment". 

My eyes widened. 

"Don't worry we have some of our strongest soldiers on board to prevent break through."

I took a sigh relief.

"But Tenji as died at the frontlines." Hylmore said cutting that breath short.

"What?!" 

" We need someone who is equally strong and is a fast learner."

"No I mean how can you mention Tenji's death so easily!? He was a good person, and you are talking about his death like he does not matter!? "

Hylmore rubbed between her eyebrows "Kitboshi lets talk about business or I will have to make drastic measures"

The guards that lined the outside of the carpet slightly tilted there spears. I better play it safe.

Ok And?" I ask.

"And we need you to be on the frontlines ". 

"This is nonsense!, I retort without thinking, I just came back and you want me to die like Teji!" I yelled.

Hylmore sat in silence staring at me, I thought I saw her roll her eyes, It was obvious that she did not care.

"You don't care about anyone other than yourself!" 

I Screamed at her. Tears started to sting of my eyes.

"You have gotten weak, in the past you here distant you changed," Hylmore paused as if she said too much. 

"Nevermind you are dismissed"  She said as she waved her hand, but I didn't have time to care about the consequences of my actions. I burst through the doors, the guards jump startled at the sudden noise. They watch in silence as I stormed by. I ran without looking where I was going I stoped running when I found a quiet room somewhere in the palace, I look around ,I see hear no one. I slump down on a wall maybe, Hylmore is right I am getting weak the old me was never like this. What am i doing? I should have accepted going to the frontlines.... but what if I die? Teji is one of the strongest people I know. Teji.... I sadden as I remember my childhood friend. I hop to my feet

"Well it is no use crying over him tears are not going to bring him back!" I tell myself. I should talk to Hylmore about being on the frontlines after all she is the reason I am alive she would not send me to my death...right? After I pray for Tenji's soul I make for my room, this l palace is a big place there are places that even Hylmore does not know about so you defiantly don't what to get lost... at night. I hurry down what feels like the path that I took after walking for what feels like hours my body is very dehydrated I sit down on the floor and cast a water spell that ends with a big puddle,

"*Sigh* this is annoying when am i going to get out of here?" 

"I am even starting to lose it I am talking t-"

I stop talking when i notice a green necklace laying not far form me.

"Was that there before ?" 

I ask no one in particular, I slowly walk towards it as I get closer I now have a clearer view and can see that despite the colour Is is glowing a  bright orange 

"This is a strange one whoever's necklace is this, it is mine now!"

I hold it up to the light coming form the windows It is actually very pretty, I slip it on and tuck it in my blouse 

"Can't have you taken away from me now can I? Omg... I better find my room quick I am talking to to a neaklace." 

As if to answer my prays I smell the night jasmine essence I burn, I dash toward the scent happily bursting though the door resulting to me falling on the bed I laugh, happy to be home, I sit up my eyes catch my reflection in the mirror beside the bed, my black hair is disheveled and wet because of the water spell earlier my dark purple eyes are wide and tried, my hands are coarse my once sharp features are now replaced with a tried person I don't even know...

I zone out. let's focus on something more positive shall we? Like the room!,there is a large bed in the center with a mirror beside the bed bath room that includes a sauna,a walk in closet on the otherside of the bed with the drawer beside it with jewelry and perfume, I stand to take a shower, in the shower my eyes sting, 

Its just the soap I think  By the time I got back to my room I was feeling drowsy so I climbed in to the bed and fell asleep. I not sure how many hours passed but I woke feeling a giant stomach ache without opening my eyes I touch my belly and was surprised that my hand felt wet I open my eyes slowly, and saw that I was bleeding! panicking my eyes frantically scan the room for the culpit I see a tall dark figure standing in a corner staring at me whoever it was was cautious not to approach. I crawled off the bed trying to get a better look at the the culprit as i got closer started to make out their face.

"Nanny?" My heart sunk.
