Will it ever be? - Kit Tanthalos x !Fem!Oc

7

I want to thank everyone for reading and thank you for all the support, it means a lot and It makes writing this book a lot more fun and easier <3

We all walk back to shore, the water only getting shallower and never really being at a point where we need to swim. "That was incredible!" Kit complements "How'd you get him to- I've never seen horses do that, what does Hsu-Gala mean?" She questions, staring at the slightly annoyed-looking Boorman "It's an ancient Angorian word... it means stop" He explains to us. 

Kit looks at me slightly concerned and I just signal for her to forget about it. We all start walking to find the main path again, silence lingering around with no one really having a topic to talk about, I hovered close to Boorman, Dove in front of us with Jade and Graydon and Kit behind, they were the only ones really talking and it was rather loud so everyone could hear, that or it was just so quiet that it was the only sound dominating the ground under us as we walked. 

I tried to tune out as much of the conversation as I could but something Graydon said made me listen to their words carefully "One day you and I are going to be in charge, and when that day comes, we don't have to do things the way our parents did" He tells Kit, I slightly look back, not wanting to make it obvious. I can't help but roll my eyes, and annoyed scoff follows before I turn back to focus on the path ahead. 

That burning feeling that someone is staring at you forces me to turn to look at Boorman, and, Just as I had guessed he was staring right at me with a cocky smirk, much like the one he gave me this morning, I shake my head and start to speed up so I am walking alone. 

after what felt like hours of walking Boorman finally brings us to the place we have been heading for this whole time, our first stop of the quest. It looks like a village, an old, abandoned, overgrown village that no one has been living in for years; still pretty though. We find a spot to tie our horses and then wait to hear why we are here, well at least some of them have no clue why.

"Are you sure this is the village my mother was talking about?" Kit asks Boorman "It's the only village in the valley" He comments "Where did everybody go?" Jade questions "Maybe they ran away? Found a better place to live" I inquire though I know that's most likely far from the truth. 

"Oh, Daikinis. Terrific just what I need" A voice arises from not too far away, we all turn to see a much smaller-looking man standing at an entranceway. "What happened here?" I ask him as we all approach him "Plenty, and if you are not careful, it will happen to you too" He snaps "Were looking for the sorcerer Willow" Kit tells him coming and standing next to me "Congratulations... you found him" "Your Willow?" Boorman asks "Yep, that's me. Willow" he confirms in a slightly weird way. "But I'm out of the sorcery business now, I've retired so jog on" Well that's great isn't it? 

Kit steps forward slightly and starts to explain something her mother told her, going on about this amazing sorcerer who defeated evil. "It's ok, she is who she claims to be," A voice says though not in sight of someone to give that voice to, that was until a man walks out from behind the entrance, he held staff and looked fairly old. "How do you know?" The other one questions "I read her mind" What? "Kidding, had you thought didn't I? I didn't read your mind, it's just, you remind me of your mother" He tells Kit. 

Kit then proceeds to inform the real Willow about our situation, why we need him and what happened to Arik however it seems he already knows. Willow tells us what really took Arik, where he is and where we have to go to get him back, he was explaining with fairly good detail until something made him trail off, we all followed his eyes to something behind us till we realised he was looking at Dove. 

He pulls down her sleeve and places his hand on her arm, reciting some weird culty words or something. Once removing his hand a mark that wasn't there before is not present on her arm, Willow takes a step back slightly shocked "You shouldn't be here... But it's so good to see you again, Elora" He says to her.

...

wait

Elora? 

"Did he just say..." Kit thinks out loud "No you've made a mistake... Thats not... I'm not... I'm nobody" Dove- Elora- Blond girl says, denying what this weird man is telling her. "You are Elora Danan, Last blood of Kymeria, future Empress, High priestess, Semprum Sorceress of the Nine realms, and the world's last, best hope against the evil coming to destroy us" It felt like that list could have gone on forever. I mean thank God she came right? Having Elora Danan magically show up on this quest I mean win I guess.

Though looking at Kit she doesn't seem to be thinking the same thing as she stares Elora down. 

Oh god

Shorter chapter but I promise the chapters are going to start getting longer cause I mean hello 7 chapters to get through the first episode!? that's not ok.
