Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

Chapter 97

Amilia continued reading as she looked over the documents in front of her. Today, ever since she woke up, Amilia had been reading and signing, reading and signing. It seemed to be busy at the palace today, as if the ball was some sort of fiasco. Then suddenly the doors burst open and some woman was screaming at her.

"Amilia!" She yelled, hitting her hand on the table. Amilia automatically looked up.

"Unora!" Amilia said, holding a document in one hand and a pen in the other. "What are you doing here?"

Unora laughed, "You're telling me you don't know?"

"I, uh-"

"Honey, it's two thirty. We are supposed to be training."

"Oh- I, well, I-" Amilia paused and rubbed the back of her head. "I must have forgotten in the midst of everything that's been going on today." Unora sat down on her desk.

"How long have you been working on this stack of papers?"

"Since I've woken up, to be honest."

"Hm, maybe you should take a break."

"Working with you isn't a break."

"I'm not saying come and work and train. Let's take a spa day today, hm? And can wrap your aunt into it and everything, if that is what you wish."

"You're not going to let me say no are you?"

"Well, you can either stay here and relax or you can come with me and relax, but you must relax." Amilia looked at Unora weird, taking that moment to stop and look at her.

"Where is this coming from?"

"Whatever do you mean, dear?"

"Wha- the 'relax'. You always seem to want me to train and learn. Why is it you want me to relax? Are you trying to get into my sykie? Control me from the inside?"

"Ugh, no! I can already do that if I really want to, you know that. It's alright to take a break and relax every once in a while. It is important to take care of yourself."

"Ah, so I see this is not a ploy to intercept my brain waves."

"It is not."

"Hm." Amilia said, signing another document. Unora rolled her eyes and turned her head to the side, jumping off the desk. She yawned, holding her hand over her mouth. The;she turned around and grabbed Amilia's hand. Unora pulled her up.

"Oh, no, no, I can't. I have to finish them!"

"Oh, come on, you must step away just for a second."

"No, no, no..." Unora managed to get her up and around her desk. Amilia fought her until she was out of the room and then she easily followed her as Unora led. They walked through the Market and to the wall, Unora leading her right to her lair. "Oh," Amilia laughed, "So it was all a ruse. Alright, what are we doing today?"

"Nothing!" Unora chuckled, turning back into herself. The only thing that was different was what she was wearing. Her armor was gone in substitute for a nicer, softer, less form fitting clothes. She pointed at Amilia and motioned her onward. Amilia sighed and then stuffed her hands into her pockets, shook her head and then followed Unora. She passed through the doorway with her eyes closed and a smirk on her face. Then she stopped and opened her eyes. In front of her there was what seemed like a lake.

"What is this?"

"This is a spring!" Unora said, coming over in the water.

"And did you put this here?"

"I did, yes, you like it?"

"You just had to have the waterfall, huh."

"It is a nice addition, don't you think?"

"You know, I'm hardly dressed for an occas- oh, I see you have liberty over my clothes." Amilia put her hands on her hips. Amilia may have walked in with a vest and joggers on, but when she looked down she was in a beautiful one piece, with a short water skirt around her waist. Amilia rolled her eyes and looked at Unora.

"We'll come on, don't dwell on it." Unora held out her hand to her. "Come on, come on." Amilia grabbed her hand and Unora led her into the spring. She had what only one could mention as lights all over the room, but Amilia knew they were just balls of magic. She had under lighting too, it was purple. "Go ahead, sit down."

"Sit down?" Unora nodded at her. Amilia sat down, afraid her head might go under. But it seemed that Unora's magic extended even more, the rock underneath them came up to form benches that they could sit on, yet disappeared when they stood up. They looked at each other most of the time. Unora enjoyed herself by putting water over her shoulder, plus she swam as well. They didn't talk much, but Unora did come over and push Amilia back a little ways. Causing her to lay back on a 'rock' type of bed. Amilia wondered for a while but eventually fell asleep. Sometime later she woke up, but Unora wasn't there. She sat up and then started to walk, leaving the room where she was. She didn't see Unora anywhere in the foyay, so she took the opportunity to leave. She walked out shaking and made her way back to the palace and to her room. She grabbed a towel and dried herself as best she could. She changed into pajamas and then put on a robe. She pooped down on her bed and grabbed the pocket watch. It was pretty late, she had no idea she had slept for that long or that she had really even fallen asleep. But that was alright, she figured she got some work done today so tomorrow won't be too bad. Amilia put her head back on the pillow and then looked to the ceiling. She couldn't sleep, of course, she wasn't tired. Therefore she got up and closed the curtains and then walked into her bathroom. She ran a shower and before she knew it, she was back in bed, looking at the ceiling once more.
