Ingrid and her family has been cursed for generations, making it hard for her to make friends more than it already is. When a human comes to the Boiling Isles, Ingrid wonders if the turn of events revolving around the human have anything to do with...
"We're in the Emperor's mind? That's bananas!" Luz's voice exclaimed.
"I don't know what those are, and I don't care too. Remember what happened at the Night Market?" Was that Hunter?! Great, just great.
While they tried to remember the events that led to this one, I used this opportunity to escape.
"Hey!" Hunter barked. I froze up. This just wasn't my day. "Hands where I can see them!" I complied with his orders, my cloak disguised my appearance so I knew he didn't know who I was.
"Who is that?" Luz asked.
"They're under arrest for crimes against the Emperor." Hunter explained as I slowly stood up. "Turn around." I did so, but very slowly.

(Yes, I know this is actually Raine, but I couldn't find any other pictures of them cloaked and I'm only using them since their glasses are similar to Ingrid's. Like parent like daughter lol)
"Now, unmask yourself." Hunter commanded but I hesitated, I hoped I could make it through this thing without removing my cloak. "I said, unmask yourself! Or I do it myself!" I slowly reached toward my hood and pulled it off, revealing my face to my friends. "Ingrid?!" He asked with a pink face.
"Ingrid?!" Luz asked a couple seconds later. "You were trying to get into the Emperor's mind?"
"I can't disperse that information." I mumbled as I started to pace around. "I know he's gonna gloat about how he was right and that I was too young to be helping with something like this. But they said I could do it, so why should it matter how old I am as long as I can use my magic to help, right?!" I chuckled like a mad person at the end while Luz and Hunter stared at me. "Wait?! I can still contact them all. Yeah, do that." I quickly got my scroll out and tried opening all of my communication functions. "Come on, come on, come on. At least just to Whispers?" I quickly chanted as they loaded; only to get no signal. "Oh, Titan help me!"
"Why's it so important you have communication with these people you're talking about?" Luz asked.
"I already said I can't disperse information. But this is good, yeah! Good!" I already felt my sanity slip away as I talked. "If I get everything they need, he will see that even someone as young as me can help with life threatening stuff like this!"
I still remembered the events that led to this series of unfortunate events.
~Flashback~
"Ingy! The Bard Coven Leader's here for you!" Edgar yelled from downstairs. "Along with the Abomination and Beast Keeping Leaders." I ran downstairs to see hooded versions of the Coven Leaders at the door.
"I told you to call me Raine, Edgar." Nibi said as I got down to the entrance. "Hello Ingrid, you'll be needing this." Nibi greeted as they gave me a brown-reddish cloak. "Hood up too, this is secret business."
