Spanx stands on the top of a hill next to a tree as she looks back at the
castle.
“You seem so small from here. I’m sorry everyone, but for your safety
from myself this is something I must to do.”
She pulls the hood over her head to block out the rising sun and starts
on her way again.
“There is no turning back for me now.”
Captain and Ari walk onto the training field.
“Good morning; everyone into your groups please.” Captain says
“How are you feeling Kai?” Ari asks noticing he’s in the lineup.
“As well as I can be, still a bit sore though at least I’m off that
medical cot.” He tries to play it normal
“Well it’s good to see you out here.” Ari
“Thanks Ari.”
“Where is Rivers?” Captain calls out.
“She’s not feeling well this morning.” Zain answers.
Kai rubs his forehead.
“How would you know the well being of lady Spanx?” Ari turns towards Zain
Zain glances at Kai and Kai shakes his head.
“You see I have a tray of breakfast with a flower sent to her chambers
every morning.” Zain smiles
“It would seem that you have set your sights on lady Spanx; or do you
have breakfast and a flower sent to all the ladies of the castle?”
Ari asks
“I haven’t received breakfast with a flower from Prince Zain.” Syi
says from within the lineup.
“This is the time for training; if Rivers is unwell she can return to
training when she is feeling better. Now let begin our training for
the day.” Captain calls out.
“Yes sir.” Everyone says in unison.
Training goes smoothly.
“Everyone has done well today; training is dismissed.” Captain says then
heads back into the castle.
Stopping so she can rest and have a bite to eat she sits and leans against a
tree. She places her bag down in front of her. She hears a growl from
a nearby bush.
“Whatever you are; I’m not here to fight.” She says as she prepares herself
in case.
When the bush starts to shake, Spanx gets to her feet while she still
leans on the tree. Then crawling out of the bush is a small grey
animal. It has the body of a cat and long ears like a rabbit and a
fluffy tail like one of a fox.
“I was afraid of a cute little thing like you? I feel silly; are you
hungry?”
As Spanx asks the animal looks up at her.
“Here you go, it’s only bread though.” She tosses a piece to it. It
slowly goes up to and smells it. It looks back up at her and she
smiles then takes a bite of the bread herself. It eats the piece of
bread she gave it once it finishes it looks up at her and meows.
“Awe, you’re welcome. You little cutie; Well I have to continue onward;
you should head home little one.”
As Spanx stands so does it.
“If you don’t head back home your family is going to miss you.”
It lays its head down as its ears fall flat it looks up at her sadly.
“Did you lose your family as well?”
It keeps it head down as it seems to let out a small whimper.
“I lost my family too. What do you say we be each other’s family; that
way neither of us have to be alone out here?”
The animal purrs as it rubs against her legs.
“Oh that means you will need a name.”
Meow.
“How do you feel about me calling you Selima? It’s another name for cat
like.”
Selima meows happily.
“Well Selima we should continue on. Are you ready?”
Selima jumps onto the top of her bag. Then the two of them continue the
journey together. At sunset, the two of them find a place to get some
rest. Selima lies on Spanx’s lap.
