I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door. I groaned, "Who is it?" I asked. "It's Kyrus," I heard him say. I opened my eyes, I sat up quickly. "What are you doing here Kyrus?" I asked. "Don't you remember?" he said. "I wouldn't be asking if I didn't," I said sarcastically. "You promised to come with me to the other side of the city to buy supplies remember?" he said. "Oh! yeah, I'll be right down" I said. "You always forget. Be fast Vi" he said. "I will," I said. I heard his footsteps going down. I got up, beside my desk was a stool with a big bowl of water. I washed my face before changing. I wore my brown trousers, with a white long-sleeved button-down shirt. I wore a brown belt, I then finished with suspenders. I wore my brown shoes which were slightly heeled. I tied my hair in a messy bun before grabbing my bag. I rushed downstairs. 

"Fast huh?" Kyrus said, raising an eyebrow sarcastically. "Whatever let's go," I said. "Honestly, I could lend you my clothes" he chuckled. I hit him on the arm, not playfully. "Ouch!" he said as he rubbed the part I hit. I smirked, "We'll go ahead Hysteria, we'll find something to eat on the way. "Alright Vi," she said, "Take care of her Kyrus," she said, looking at him. "I think it's me who has to take care of him," I said. He rolled his eyes. We made our way outside. "We're going to the shop that's over the bridge right?" I asked as we walked the sidewalk of the streets. "yeah," he said. 

As we walked I looked at Kyrus, I never really noticed how grown he is now. He used to have a babyface, now his jawline was sharp, Adam's apple more visible, he got so much taller and muscular from the help he does in the shop, he was a man now, and no longer the stick I used to tease. 

For some reason, I haven't noticed I have been staring for a long time. "What are you looking at?" He asked as he glanced at me from time to time. "Nothing," I said, looking on the ground now. Suddenly I felt an arm around my shoulder, Kyrus pulled me closer to him. I looked up at him. "Watch the road Vi, a carriage nearly ran over you," he said, worry on his face. I blinked blankly. "Oh-what? I mean yeah, sorry about that" I said. He sighed before moving to my other side, putting me on the safe side of the road. I shook my head to take the thoughts away. 

Suddenly he held me on the arm, "Wait here" he said, he then entered a shop I was too lazy to read the name. I stood there waiting. I looked around the place, we were almost to the bridge. A few people passed me, giving me looks, at my hair and what I was wearing. I mean most women here wore corset dresses, it was all just uncomfortable for me. After a while, Kryus came back out. "What's this?" I asked as I got the medium brown bag from him. "Food," he said as we continued walking. I opened the bag, in it was muffins, I smiled widely at him before eating my share, he chuckled as I smiled. "Slow down, wouldn't want you to eat me next" I gave him a look, he raised his hand in the air "I'll stop," he said before putting them back down. I continued eating the muffin, it was delicious, but nothing like what Hysteria made, hers had some kind of magic that made it taste so good.


I crumpled the brown bag and placed it in my bag. The bridge was in front of us. As we walked, I stopped to look at the water below the bridge, I look ahead, the sun peeking through the grand palace roofs, making the golden statues shine. "I'd like to see what's in the palace one day," I said. "We will get closer to it once we join the Nizoralki Army," he said. "I know, but we would be outside its gate, only moon warriors are allowed inside, and His army. As well as the high rankers of the Nizoralki." I said. "We can't do anything about it," he said. I nodded, we both continued to walk.

"What are we buying again?" I asked as we turned to a street. Kyrus took out a piece of parchment. "Well, new parchment paper, some ink," he said, he flipped the parchment front and back to see if there was anything more, I waited for his say. He shook his head, "Nothing else" he said. I nodded. "So, is it final that your joining the cartography group in the army?" I asked. he nodded, "Yeah, you?" It took some time for me to answer, my head zoned out. "Vi?" Kyrus said, I snapped back to reality. "Oh, yeah. I will, I like drawing as well" I smiled. "You know, you don't have to join in something I like," he said. "What? no, no. I truly want to join" I said. "Alright, but if there's something you want to talk about I'm always here," Kyrus said, patting me on the head before heading into a shop, which this time I read, was an ink shop.
