Hidden Crown
First stage
Running through and through the dark emerald green forest, filled with cold mist that makes your bone shiver.
There running a figure, a fragile, weak, pathetic one.
After running a while , it fell onto it's knee, probably from the sore leg, or mostly the heavy weight of responsibilities on her shoulders and even heavier bruise's on her heart
Looking at the sky darken, she chuckles. Laughing at her own fate or shall we call it foolishness? But it was worth it.
Hiding in a shallow tree, she waited for the first ray of light of the morning..As it came she stormed out again. Walking and walking until she reached a local market buzzing with people like infinite flies. Relief washed her over.
Looking around confused, she wandered through the shops, finally she walked towards a bread stall, she asks the person she sees first.
Ember nyx
May I know which city is this gentleman?
Master Alrick
Oh, young lady, you look lost aha- It's the city of truios. Where are you from, from the looks of you-
His eyes scanned her, her gaze staring at the breads on the table shown for sale purpose.
Master Alrick
Ahh, you want bread ?
Ember nyx
Yes actually, kind man I'm hungry to be honest I've been running for a whole day, it's so exhausting (Huffs) (suddenly her voice as sweet as honey, batting lashes)
Master Alrick
Oh, i know the kInds of you, always lookIng for free stuff, but lady you gotta pay for that, actually.
Ember nyx
Well , i do not have any job , neither a shelter . To be more precise , i ran away from home !
His eyes wide briefly before leaning in wispering,
Master Alrick
Aye are you crazy young lady ? Or do you just lack survival instinct ? This city buzzes with danger, Say that to another random person and see yourself getting sold off to the next ship to Antarctica.
Ember nyx
(Her eyes narrowed) Antarctica ? The place with snow and ice, I've read on books, it sounded fascinating.
Master Alrick
(A loud tsk) You really are hopeless lady , from the looks of you, you do look like you belong from a wealthy family, so, what's your deal ?why did you run away ?
Ember nyx
Can't answer that, A bIg mess. For now, i might need somewhere to sleep the night off.
Master Alrick
I hope you do not expect anyone to just adopt you and give you a bed to sleep In peance, right ? As i said that'll only lead to your own grave. Or I might have a offer for you, Work in ma shop ? I was lookIng for a care taker anyway.
Master Alrick
Yeh, work, you see lady, help me out at the shop and run errands, I pay pretty generous to useful beings, you know
Ember nyx
That's so generous of you old man. Now if I'm under your employee may i have a bread ?
Master Alrick
(Chuckles)You gotta earn that, deliver this package for me to a customer on the next station. And you'll get a meal.
Just like that, Ember started working at the bakery. Running errands here and there. Taking care of the shop. She stared to like this new life of her, the fresh smell of bread, the crowd on the market, well it was chaotic. But freedom always tastes sweet.
