The sky was blue with some clouds slowly drifting around, the warm air felt as if someone had spread a warm blanket above everything.
Violet laid there under the shade of boulders, still in darkness, until a young boy woke her up and nudged her.
Violet opened her eyes and saw him staring at her with hungry eyes.
"Hey can I eat you?" He said with his tongue hanging out of his mouth and drool dripping down...
"No!" Violet gets up in thunder and slaps the boy, the boy was sent flying and crashed to boulder.
Violet looks at him, he slowly falls down on the ground stuck in the same posture he crashed in.
"Oh my lord, did I kill him! I killed him! Luciel where are you? Where am I?" She looked around and saw red rocks and soil everywhere, dry shrubs and few trees with thorns more than leaves on them.
She realised she is definitely not anywhere near the cave.
She ran towards him and in the flash boy opens his eyes and jumps back on his two feet!
"You can't kill me, woman!" The boy shaking his head and the dust was flying out of his hair.
He stretched his back while staring at her.
"Well you look like you're one of them but I don't think you're one of them..."
Violet looks at him with a blank expression, "what do you mean?" She asked,
"Don't bother! I can tell by your smell, you don't have the pungent smell of gold and silver on you..." He said,
"Anyway, tell me do you have anything to eat?" The boy spoke and his stomach grumbled.
Violet exhaled a sigh of relief, she sat down on ground under shade, she was still light headed... But suddenly she is struck with all her memories in front of her eyes...
"I don't have any food, I don't even know where I am? Where is Luciel? Where is mr. Raven, which world am I in!" Violet eyes slowly fill up with tears,
"I don't know where the two you ask are but you are in the Realm of Light, aren't you human where else you should be? Don't tell me you're from-" The boy slowly walks around while looking for anything he could hunt but the realisation suddenly makes him turn at her.
"I am from Realm of Light, at least that's Mr. Raven told me, but I was in the Realm of Night for a while, I remember getting hurt but I don't know how I end up here." Violet held her tears back, she knows crying doesn't do anything after living with Luciel and mr. Raven.
The boy then sighed, "well the world is big of course..." The gaze was still looking forward to searching for any prey he could find.
Violet still sat there, thinking what could've happened to her and Luciel.
Violet then shook her head strengthening her resolve, she got up with her blooded gown, but before she could leave the place the boy appeared in front of her again but this time he had a dead rabbit in his mouth.
"Where are you going?" He said pulling a rabbit out of his mouth....
***
Violet's PoV
I was about to leave the place the boy came back, he just went away and came back?
I stared at him, his appearance was a little different from anyone I've seen...
Stark black hair with grey eyes, on those head two wolf like ears, he was tall and wore thin clothes made up of fur and cotton, he wore a vest exposing his chest which was covered with scars.
He was a bit muscular than Luciel and a little bit darker skin tone.
He wasn't human or anyone like Luciel, he was someone really different.
The boy skinned the rabbit and then took a deep breath,
" ( FLAME BREATH ) "
He spoke and then breathed out the flames came out and in blink cooked the rabbit, well somewhat like it...
It was burnt...
He tossed me a piece and then sat down and started chomping...
"The blood on your clothes, are you injured?" He looked at me with eyes filled with curiosity.
"Well I was, but I don't feel like that now, it's a long story, anyways thanks for the food..." I took a bite and it was really burnt, but it will be disrespectful to throw it away, so I ate it without complaining.
We both finished and then he picked up a small and wrapped it around his waist...
"Alright woman! That's it! Let's part ways here! My destination is far from here, there is a village nearby, you can get help there but I'll warn you to stay clear of those filthy noble bastards!" He handed me a sack of water.
But wait since I am here back in my world I need to get to mama and papa!
"Wait! Where are you going?" I asked him, he turned to me and his face suddenly became voided of every expression.
"The Capital of Isvalar..." There was rage behind those eyes, the rage exactly like Luciel had when he trained on his own.
A conviction and promise to himself...
"The capital... But why?" I asked...
"To destroy it..." He said without changing expression.
Destroy the capital? But why?
What should I do? Should I ask him to take me to Greyhollow?
And something clicked in my mind.
But wait if he is going to the capital then I can meet mother!
I can ask mother to help mama and papa!
***
Violet was still oblivious to the actions of her beloved mother, everything that happened that night, because somewhere in heart she still clung to hope, hope to see her family again...
Say have heard that Calla wasn't actually treating her illness but she had convinced herself that it was still out of love or may be for any reason...
Violet made up her mind, she wasn't a girl that can only rely on others, with every pain and doubt in her heart along with worries, she had decided to change herself...
"Well then take me with you!" She spoke,
The boy looked at her surprised, his expressions finally changed and his ears twiched,
"What did you say?
"I said take me with you! I need to meet someone from the capital!" She said, her tone straight without any tact...
"Are you saying you're from that kingdom? Well ofcourse you have those accursed hair! Just like them! Here I thought it was just a coincidence but I guess I was wrong!" He claws slowly grew and his body gradually turned bit larger than before...
"I don't know who you are talking about but I've never visited the capital in my entire life, these hair is caused by illness atleast that's what my mother told me!" She looked at her hair but then even at facing a nothing but pure bloodlust maddened by anger, she didn't flinch.
The boy nose moved a little as if he was taking a sniff and then his body turned back like before...
"It's seems you are speaking truth." He said.
"You can read mind?" Violet tilted her head in awe,
"No! But I can smell... Happiness, sadness, anger, hatred, love, deceit, everything in this world has smell some are pleasant filled with purity like yours, but some are pungent, foul as a corpse..."
He looked at Violet as her face had a sad smile...
"Really, Idon't reek of any illness or curse", she looked down and the boy looked away...
"Well it's faint, there is a smell that is covering the essence of that odor, a fresh smell... how should I put it... something those rich guys wear, roses mixed with blood... It also feels like the smell is very rude"
The boy looked confused,
Then Violet burst into the chuckle, she covered her mouth and belly,
She was laughing without any care of this world,
"Yes the smell is actually very rude!" She looked at him and saw his face flushed red...
His ears and cheeks turned red and she can see his ears twitching and fluffy black tail wagging like crazy...
"Umm... Are you okay?" She asked him and the boy turned his back, to her...
He knew this feeling, his heart was beating fast and face was burning up...
He took a deep breath and without turning he spoke...
"Vaelric Veyndar! That's my name! You can call me Vael, and since you asked me a favour with such conviction, I can't refuse a woman who's alone in this vast desert, you certainly need protection, who can do that better than me of course."
Vael started blubbering in one breath,
"Alright then! I shall take you to the capital! You don't need to fear anything when I am here! Hahaha..." He tried his best to hide his flushed face,
"Thank you Vael, hope we can get along..." She smiled...
"I really hope so..." Vael murmered
And thus another chapter started writing itself in the prologue of story with a dreadful end..
