Getting to know Fiona

I was getting bored sitting in my room, so I left to find out what David might up to. As I was walking past the ancient paintings I bumped into Fiona. She was admiring the paintings like she had laid her eyes on them for the very first time. I know she had seen the millions of times by now.  

" Oh. Hi Molly." She greeted me. 

" Hey. What you up to?" I asked. 

" Just admiring these old pictures." She says, smiling. 

" You must have come across them more times than I can count. You still find them, remarkably fascinating?" I asked. 

" Well, yea. For one their antiques, one of a kind. You wouldn't find another painting by the artist that created them."  

" Wow. Who's the talented artist?" I asked.  

" I am." She giggled and bowed. 

" Come here, I want to show you something." Fiona said. She grabbed my hand and led me to what I guessed was her bedroom. Her room was so..... Zen. It was calming and peaceful. There were candles everywhere. On every surface, along the walls. There wasn't even a bed. There was a large kind of rug, where a bed would of been. She sat down on the rug and called me next to her.

" So, how was training with David yesterday?" She asked. Her question caught me a little of guard. I remembered what David told me about what Fiona and Chrystanni might think. I quickly thought of something to calm what ever suspicions Fiona might have. 

" Ehh, It was ok. I kicked his butt." I said laughing.  

" You know, there is more to you than just physical strength." My curiosity grew. I didn't know what she could possibly mean. 

" What exactly do you mean, Fiona?" 

She had a mischievous grin and grabbed both of my hands. 

" I bet David can't teach you how to make a force field. Look deep into your mind and block every thought and every memory. Concentrate on thinking your a million miles away from the person your blocking yourself from.When it comes to magic your mind is your greatest weapon.Now do it. Set up a force sheild against me." I concentrated on the words Fiona spoke. i imagined myself as far away from Fiona as I possible could. I could feel a certain essence after attepting the magical spell. I opened my eyes and saw Fiona staring back at me with a look between proud and amazed.

"Wow! Molly, you did it. I bet i can get you casting spells just as good as me in no time." Fiona hugged me tightly, and we both grew silent. Questions about her ran through my mind.

" Fiona, tell me. How did you became part of Chrystannis entourage? I dont mean to intrude but there is so much i dont know about, well everything."

"I was born far away from here. Arcadia. I lived in the village of Bluestock. As a child I remember the village being beautiful. My people worked together and lived peacefully. I remember my mother she was wonderful. She would of done anything for me. Everything was perfect. One day I woke up and it was a massecre. Our homes were on fire. Women and their children were trying to flee. While others tried to fight off the bastards attacking our home. My mother refused to run. She died fighting. We fought hard but we lost the battle. After I found my mom I left. There was nothing left. My mom was dead and my home was destroyed. If I was caught, those men would have me as their slave. I reached the town of Juniper and thats where Chrystanni found me. At first i didnt understand what she was doing in the slums of Juniper but now I do. She was looking for me. When she found me I was filthy, starving and most likely near death. She said, child your body is weak but your spirit is strong. Come with me darling I can give you power and life. Ever since then I have been at Chrystannis side. She taught how to use my magic and how to fight. With those skills at hand I killed the men who killed my mother and my people."

"How long ago was that?"i asked

" A few centurys ago at least."she replied

"What! Your a little girl. You look younger than me. No offence but your personality even reminds me of a little girl." i said 

" OK.Since your immortal now you will age slower but I never died. I was never human.We age a lot slower than humans do. Im a total different breed. Im what the people of my world call Fae."
