bexitys journey

7

After she ate, Dakota grabbed her, no, orcas hand with a big smile, dragging her outside and down the road.

"Prince karma isn't allowed to talk to anyone, but this is the first time he's been out of the castle! In my opinion, I don't know why your so interested with him, hes a prince, he's bound to be mean!"

Bexity just kept quiet, allowing Dakota to lead her through the neighborhood to a large stone castle, accented with gold and silver.

Orca lived in the shattered isles? And he was interested in karma? She followed Dakota, coming to stand next to him when he stopped.

As the two watched the open doors, a tall woman in a snow white dress with long straight red hair and grey eyes walked out, her posture stiff and upright.

Then, a short boy with red fluffy hair and the same posture (although his was a bit off, he was clearly mimicking her) followed.

One of his eyes were covered with a black cloth.

He looked nervous and he kept glancing at the woman. Until she spoke, he hadn't looked at the crowd.

"People of elinior! It has been many years since your prince first emerged from the castle. You treated him in a way that disappointed me. From today onward, he will have free reign of the village and castle."

She looked at him, he had taken a step back, was he looking at someone? No. Not just one. The crowd. It scared him. He clearly hadn't seen this many people in his life, and he wasn't sure how to deal with it.

And then the woman spoke again "as your queen, I expect you to treat him with the same respect you show me!"

And then she was done, young back into the castle and leaving the boy to scramble after her with an alarmed "Mother!"

Eventually he was out the front door, a songbird hybrid with dark hair, eyes, and feathers running up to him, before glancing around.

Dakota nudged bexity "jealous?"

"No?"

"Then stop staring, your being weird"

But then there was a shout

"I told you to keep that messenger away from my son! You guards are useless! Give me the sword!"

And before bexity knew, karma was staring at a mutilated body in horror, before he looked at the woman, and shot into the air.

His crown uit the ground with a clang as the crowd gasped, the woman left fuming

"AFTER THE PRINCE!" and soon karma had three falcon hybrids after him.

Silently bexity willed him on, if she was right, this was when karma escaped.

And he did.

He dived into the woods, where it was harder for those with wider wing spans to fly.

"C'mon orca, that was sickening.." Dakota backed away, horror in his eyes as well, taking bexity away..

Eventually they got back, ate dinner, and stayed up.

Before bexity knew, she was asleep, content and happy, despite the days earlier events.

She had watched karma flee.

Orca watched him flee.

And then, she was in the cave again, waking with an alarmed blink
