Whisper in Fantasy

Chapter 3

Tegan stood up, taken a back.

" Baby Face?! Ok, i see how you are now-"

Ester and Bronx locked eyes, Ester feeling awkward about the situation, and Bronx silently laughing it off. He slightly bowed his head.

" I do apologize, this is Ravenna's normal attitude. Im Bronx."

Bronx stepped forward, offering his hand out to Ester fo a hand shake. Ester took the offer.

" Ester, and that's my brother."

" Older or Younger?"

" Older-"

Both looked down to Tegan, now walking up to Ravenna with his fist in a clunch. Ester let out a surprised gasp, running over and pulling Tegan back.

" Tegan! Quit it! You've already insulted her once, don't do it again-"

" Seams like he acts younger-"

Ravenna backed up, walking to Bronx's side. Tegan stood next to Ester, fixing up his outfit. Ester than studied Bronx's clothing, almost squinting her eyes.

" Your outfit- your the."

Bronx cut her off.

" The kingdom of Risers Mage, that's correct. And Ravenna is one of the healers"

Bronx smiled as he placed his hand on Ravenna's head leaning, Ravenna scoffed and shewed his hand off. Bronx laughed, now distracted, Tegan looked over to his sister, surprised and confused.

" How did you know that?"

Ester turned, letting out a laugh at Bronx's and Ravenna's antics. She set her gaze to her brother.

" Know what?"

Tegan face palmed.

" the fact that he's a mage just by looking at his cloak"

Ester shrugged her shoulders, looking unsure.

" The symbol? It's not actually hidden-"

" but, how to you know what it mea-"

Ester cut Tegan off, speaking rather fast.

" I sometimes go and look over the wall-"

Tegan let out a loud sigh.

"Are you Insane!?"

Ester steped back, looking almost defeated. Tegan turned his head and looked over back at Bronx, gaining his attention.

" Hey! Wanna tell me if you have problems with stalkers on your kindom walls?"

Bronx turned himself around, dusting himself off,startled at the sudden raise of voice. Bronx stood himself up. Ester sent a worried glance in Bronx's direction, shuffling her feet where she stood.

"Not a problem, we have very high security-"

" Tegan, stop. They never saw me, i swear!"

Ester ran up to her brother, grabbing his arm in a attempt to make his stop. Tegan shook her hand off, sending her too the ground.

" Tegan, please! This is uncalled for."

Bronx looked over at Ester, who had just sat on the ground, defeated. Bronx shot a glare up at Tegan as he watched the mage lend out his hand to pull Ester up from the ground. Bronx turned to face Tegan again as he gently guided Ester to Ravenna.

" As i said before- my kingdom has high security."

" You're telling me that an elf girl with deer antlers peering over a kingdom wall goes unnoticed?"

Bronx removed his glare from Tegan, looking back down to Ester and Ravenna. He then quickly studied Ester's antlers, shooting a questionable glance to Ravenna. Ravenna nodded her head. Ester looked between the 2, and to her brother. Gilt ridden, but yet frightened by her brother's force.

" It's not a problem for us, she poses no threat-"

Tegan scoffed.

" Not a problem for you?! Someone, yet alone a elf with a bow poses no threat to your kindom? Your serious?"

Bronx stood back, rather shocked but standing his ground. Completely still, he replied.

" You dare question my authority? And how i protect my kindom?"

"Pfft, a Mage that acts like a king uh? Wonder how that came to be.."

Still on the ground, slightly terrified Ester clung to her bow. Never haveing seen her brother yell and act this way was all new. Looking at Ester shocked and terrified state, Ravenna stood, and walking up to the pair. She blocked Tegan from Bronx.

" Would you please, for the love of anything get your head out off your ass? You got your sister on the ground, terrified at your behavior right now, your questioning a mage about his kindow security without stepping a foot beyond the wall. What are you doing?"

Tegan scoffed again.

" I won't have a child tell me off-"

" Im 25 Asshole!"

With Bronx now behind Ravenna, he moved and stood next to her side. Ester then stood, now more frustrated than frightened. She then yelled.

" Tegan, please! Damm it, your just causing problems! What's gotten into you!?"

Tegan looked over to Ester, who was now on the verge of tears. He said nothing, only standing back. Bronx turned to Ester as well. He walked over.

" You okay, Antlers?"

Ester nodded, allowing Bronx to slowly ease her to sit on a rock, a bit away from the others.. She wiped away her tears, and laughed.

" Antlers? Where did that come from?"

" I can't like your antlers? They look cute on you- what do you say we go to the kindom, yeah? Show your hot-headed brother around?"

Ester Shuffled her hands.
