"Halt witch in the name of the King" I hear a royal guard yell as I run through the market dodging people shopping. I can hear the royal guard catching up on me I take a shpare right that leads me into a dead end "fuck" I sigh I quickly turn around to 2 royals guards pointing their sword at me "stand down witch" the guard in front spats at me I can't get arrested I will be put to death for sure. I stare at the guards an confuily say "Ignis" flames consume my hands fear is evident on the guards face "stand down or I will have no choice but to defend myself" the guards just stare me down. I fling my right arm forward releasing a ball of fire the guards dodge it. I continue to releasing balls of fire one after another I hit one guard in the arm causing him to drop his sword an quickly pat out the fire on his shirt. I stop throwing fire " are you ready to back off an let me go?" I asked the main guard he quickly glanced up I look up to see a guard throwing a chain net from the top of a roof it landed on me before I can dodge it causing me to fall to the ground I try to use my powers to get me out but fail, must be enchanted I thought. The main guard slowly walks up to me an squats down " got you, you fucking abomination" he says with anger clear in his voice an the I pass out. I wake up in a dungeon chained to a wall "Portal" I try to portal home but I couldn't I look around to see sigils carved into the stone walls everywhere blocking my powers "fuck I'm dead" I sigh hung my head down. I hear the foot steps coming I look up to see one guard standing next to a very handsome older man with a crown I assume thats the king standing infront of my cell, the king asked "you know its against the Treaty law to come to the human kingdom why did you come here witch ?" The king asked "you ban the used of magic but you use a enchanted net to capture me and sigils to keep me contained you humans are fucking hipocrits" I spat at him looking him dead in the eye the guard from earlier bangs on the cell bars "speak with respect when speaking to the king you bitch" the guard yells at me. "Cal calm down" the king says to the guard " why did you come here witch" the kings asks calmly I sigh "a special herb grows on the east side of the human kingdom on the edge of the forest I need it" I tell him the truth I don't know why I glance around an see three truth sigils fuck my life I think " what is this herb and why didn't you just stay in the forest to get it the tree would of hidden you ?" He asked " it would of taken to long and I need it for personal reasons" I respond "What is this herb used for" he asked again " its used in a very strong protection potion and healing potion it is very rare and  it only grows in that one spot every 6 years I was here 6 years ago an gathered some before the magical creature
ban, I recently ran out of my stock an I needed more" I respond " why would a witch want to heal anything ? you creatures only kill" The guard the king called cal asked "not all witches are evil" I snapped at him " you shot fire at us !" Cal yelled " I was defending myself you humans kill anything that's different !" I yelled back the king sigh "Cal please keep calm" the king ask "yes your magisty sorry" cal responds "what potion were you going to make with this herb?" asked the king
"I need it for protection I live deep in the magical forest it's dangerous there" I tell a partial truth
"how strong is the healing potion it can make?" The king asked "it can heal any living thing as long as it still has a heartbeat it can't resurrect the dead that's black magic an it dangerous I don't do black magic" I respond the king glances at cal the guard "I want to make a deal with you for your freedom you make the potion to heal someone people for me" the king says " how many people ?" I asked "at this time 90 people" the king states "why so many people ?" I asked "there is a sickness going around its killing people a lot of people we can't find a cure, we need help I sent a letter to your king asking for help but he said he couldn't wait to watch human kind go extinct " the king says looking stressed "yeah that sounds like something he would say, okay deal but I will need supply's and that herb we talked about and I need enough for my protection potion" I tell him " we will get you every thing you need, you can stay in the castle but only the three of us can know your a witch we will tell the others guards and the people you escaped or something if they asked cal is the only one who saw your face since your cloak was coving you if anyone asks your a visiting Noble" he says "okay deal but I want my bag back your guards took from me" I demand "of course cal release her" the king tells cal "yes sir" cal takes the key from the hook an unlocks the door an the chains keeping me to the wall. I walk out of the cell an feel all my energy flowing back to me I walk up to the king " I want to bind us" I state "what is that ?" He asked " it will bind us together to make sure you don't double cross me, killing me once you get your potions. If I get hurt while I'm here you will get hurt as well an vice versa" I explain to the king "okay" he agrees " I need my bag and I need it to be just you an I" I respond "okay lets go to my study follow me" he tells me an starts to walk away cal passes me my bag an I jug to catch up to the king while walking up the stairs from the dungeon and getting to the main floor of the castle it was huge the beautiful marble flooring , gold walls its magnificent I stare at awe at the castle I didn't notice the king staring at me "the original castle was built by king Arthur over 1,000 years ago but after the great war with the magical kingdom my grandfather and father had to rebuild it took 30 years I basically grow up in a constutuon site" the king laughs as he recalls a memory " so what is your name?" He asked me as we continue to walk to his study "Tamisra , what is yours or do I just call you king ?" I asked " Cyrus MacNee is my name" he responds "okay Cyrus I'm not calling you king Cyrus" I state the fact "you can when we are alone but not when other people are around please you need to blend in as a noble we will also have your get your suitable clothing " he responds I look down at my white cotton dress and black cloak  "what's wrong with my clothes?" I ask " I apologize but it's not beauty standers here you will need to wear gowns and corset while portending to be a noble" he explains " oh" is all I can think of to say after a long walk we finally get to his study once in I pull out my book of shadows " I need you to roll up your sleeve and give me your arm" the king dose as instructed "do we have to cut ourselves and like share blood like a blood pack ?" He asked " no that is blood magic which is black magic which again I don't do"I tell him as I flip through my book looking for the spell " do you know how to do it ?" He asked " yes my family all practice it so I learnt it at a young age and I was the best in the whole magical kingdom but I didn't want to be like them so I left and found an altrnive magic that was good and didn't cause so much death and decay" I tell him still feeling a affected from the truth sigil I was exposed to " wow" was his responds
