-The princess sees the future,and by seeing the future,she has seen things she has never saw.

She painted these visions,making all sorts of things the people have never seen before.

In one or her visions,she witnessed a black dragon,and saw this as a bad omen...-

Komori looked outside.Beyond these blizzards,a world different than what she is used to lays outside. "I wonder.." Komori mumbled to no one in particular, "If I would be welcomed outside of here."

Komori looked at the flower next to her. She doesn't know how she found the flower here at all. She doesn't think any flowers could survive this weather..'I guess this flower can survive the weather conditions here,though.'

She sighs loudly,and lays down on the ground. She looked up at the night sky,wondering about what is outside. "To be honest,I was never allowed to go out of Vindagnyr," Komori says aloud.

"I assumed it was because of the blizzards,but..the cold has no affect on me." Komori puts her hand to the sky,as if she was reaching for the stars in the sky. "Maybe i really was naive back then." Komori closed her eyes,putting her hand back down on to her chest.

She remembers the time before the pillar from Celestia hit the irminsul tree. She remembers all the hues and colours she used to paint for her father. Her visions all lost its hues the second she tried to paint the third fresco.

"I wonder,if I finished that fresco back then,would people know who we are?" Komori asked,but no one was there to listen.

It was just her and the flower next to her.

"When will you leave?" "Do you want me to go away so badly?" "That's not what I meant.."

Komori crossed her arms over her chest and frowned at Gold. "You said you aren't from here right?Don't you want to go back to Khaenri'ah?" Gold smiled. "I'll be going back until I've explored this place a little more.Its interesting after all."

Seeing the unimpressed look on Komori's face,Gold laughed, "Dont look at me like that,you know I won't do anything to your homeland." Komori sighed. "I guess so."

Gold hummed, "Hmm..You know,haven't you tried to explore outside yet?" Komori scratched the back of her neck in embarrassment, "Uhm..." Gold laughed at Komori's behavior.

"Its not too late to go outside.I'll be taking care of your precious home," Gold suggested,a smile on her face. Komori was silent for a moment,before nodding. 'Maybe it really isn't too late to go outside..?'

Gold watched as Komori walked away. Once she leaves,she'll male sure she thanks Komori for her help.

Komori is walking past a bridge,heading to the outside. "Its..green." Komori looked around. All she saw was green.

Komori decided to explore. She walked around,following a path. After a few minutes of walking,she suddenly head a..noise? Turning around,she saw a small..hydro slime. Atleast,she thinks that's what their called.

The hydro slime was jumping towards her. 'It doesn't look dangerous,but then again,I don't want wet clothes..' The hydro slime was slowly jumping towards her. 'I don't have a weapon..' The slime was getting closer.

Komori saw a stick on the ground. 'Aha!' She picked up the stick and threw it at the hydro slime.The hydro slime was successfully defeated.

Komori isn't quite sure where she is. She accidentally walked around with her head in the clouds,and now she's near a cliff. Looking around,she saw white flowers on the ground. It was beautiful. Komori remembered that she saw this in one of her visions once,but doesn't know why.

'I'm sure no one will mind if I take one flower right?' Komori carefully picked up one of the flowers from the ground,and went on her way back to her home. 'Maybe Gold knows something about this flower.'

"Ah,that's a cecilia." Gold answered,touching the petals. "A cecilia..?" Gold nodded. "Although..it grows mostly at Starsnatch cliff. And didn't you walk from the bridge east from here?" Komori scratched the back of her neck. "Uhm..I may have lost my way during exploring..."

Gold shook her head, "I didn't expect you to get lost so easily,but I guess it's understandable,since your new to the outside.." Gold sighed, "Be careful next time." Komori never thought she would hear Gold say something like that,but it made her happy.

"Please,tell me,how do you fight?"

" 'Fight'? Princess,you can't fight."

"Yes I can! If you can teach me then.."

"Absolutely not. Fighting is the Knights job."

"But-!"

"No.You stay here,and let the others do their jobs."

"I..I understand."
