For Love and Peace

The First Rain of the Storm

After the justice administrator came to deliver the news to them, they were escorted into the main jury. Alastor, Odalia and Lilith took the Blights' carriage while Amity and Luz decided to ride the big white wolf that was summoned to defend Amity. Skara and Boscha wanted to go with them but the soldiers and the administrator refused that idea and augmented that she could go there as a spectator since this trial would only be between the one who is attacking Luz and the defense who were Luz and Amity. Boscha was held up by Skara if Skara had not done that, Boscha would have been convicted for attacking a Law servant.

While they were escorted to the main jury hall, Amity questioned Luz about the wolf. "so, this white wolf. Did you summon to protect me or did the wolf just appear from the thin air?". Amity was observing Luz reactions and saw how Luz became crimson red in embarrassment. "She appeared because she felt my distress when the soldier was about to touch you. She has always been like that since I adopted her as one of my hunting wolves. She decided that she liked you so she appeared to protect you on her own. Her name is Queeny by the way" Luz's voice was filled with embarrassment. she had just shown her heart since Queeny and King are the representation of her heart in its pure form. Amity became red as a tomato but smiled anyways. It was such a sweet gesture of Luz that one of her wolves came to her rescue but not like she was a damsel in distress and she was her knight in shiny armor but Queeny and Luz came as her partner and fighter along her side. Queeny let out a bark as a confirmation that she was hearing. Both Luz and Amity had happy smiles on their faces when they saw a massive black building with the statue of Nemesis and Athena, the founders of the Justice covent now known as the justice department. They were the fairest of the founders but they also were the most rigorous with the law and regulations, they were famed for not having any prejudge and that was true, most of the law that they implemented were the best and inclusive even after thousands or more years those law still include all the citizen of the kingdom. Amity was a fan of their work since they were also the main archivists of their era, most of the ancient documents were safely keeped by them.

Luz's smile took Amity off her mental talk and intrigued so she asked Luz " why are you smiling at the statues?". Luz looked at Amity with a glint in her eyes "She, Nemesis, is my oldest ancestor I know of. She came from the Hades polys to the empire seeking knowledge when her spouse died and her kid was old enough to fend off by himself. She uncovered so many things regarding our magic and we believe she became a daemon in our birthplace, the protector of the balance in the world, a hero in our homeland". Amity was ready to start crying, some tears had come out of her eyes. The admiration and love Luz had for her ancestor. It hadn't been many occasions Luz had talked about her past or herself, she liked to be unknown to the people outside her trust zone. Amity was happy Luz was in her life and that she was in Luz's life. "Luz what is a daemon or what does it mean?" Luz's eyes were practically shining like stars but became darker and serious. They arrived at the justice administration HQ. A massive black and gold building, imponent as if it was emanating raw power from it. Amity was sacred of the aura the building was radiating but when Luz called her and offer her a hand to help her dismount Queeny Amity fill up with determination to be the best partner for Luz in this moment and gladly accepted Luz's hand and they proceeded to where the trial will occur.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After being escorted into the main jury hall with a small version of Queeny by their side, Amity was concerned about Luz's well being. Luz was a warrior at heart with a noble caring soul but the atrocities she had seen, felt and did during the rebellion had been too much for her and her behavior showed it. How she walked asserting her position to see if she was well defended, how she slept with a dagger under her pillow and how easily one of her hunting wolves appeared to defend them. Amity remembered that her father had mentioned the vacation house he owned and Amity immediately was determined to even force Luz to go there and relax. Luz's mind was on the verge of shattering because of the possible questions they would have for her since she was from the rebellion and a citizen from the polys. Luz hated the people who mingled with her pass as if it was public and on display for everyone to judge or critic. She was hated for some time because she was brown skinned, rare in the boiling kingdom natives but common for travelers or immigrants from other kingdoms, she was discriminated against because she had a different understanding of magic and tried to connect to her mother culture. Luz was not openly criticized and judged since her mother and aunty were the leaders of the rebellion and they were the most powerful individuals there. Luz shuddered because of the memories when a pair of arms engulfed her in a warm soothing hug. Amity noticed the darker look Luz had on her face and decided to brighten her mind with a hug not realising how much it meant to Luz.
