Wings of fate

Chapter 6

"Oh hi Rosalinda," said Raiden waving his hand

"Hi Raiden?"

"I was going to knock on your window but then I just fell through" replied Raiden sensing what I was about to ask. I continued to look at him with interrogator eyes.

"And why were you going to knock on my window, Raiden?" I asked

"I wondered if you would like to have a tour of the down city? I am going to buy some food for us and I can show you around." he replied. "Well, that's weird, '' said Dain from my mind.

I looked to my broken window and shrugged and said "Why not"

Raiden smiled at me and Dain rolled his eyes from my mind.

"Let's go then" I said and started walking towards the door.

"Wait, let's use the window. I don't want to answer unnecessary questions from the group" I raised one eyebrow but didn't comment more.

"You do realize that he is creepy" said Dain

"Yes I do Dain but maybe he just want to show me around and if not you are here to help me" I answered him from my mind

"I can't help you if he decides to kill you Rosalinda"

"He will not kill me Dain, he is not even a faerie. I can handle him"
"That's the spirit" said Dain cheerful

When I realized that Raiden was still staring at me I smiled at him and jumped from my broken window. Laughing he followed me and we went out the alley. I suddenly got claustrophobic when I saw there was no sky. I don't think I will ever get used to this. We walked in silence until we came out of the alley and to a crowded street. Raiden took my hand and started leading me towards the market place. I fighted the urge to take my hand away but didn't want to be rude. He didn't do anything to deserve it anyway.

We walked down the street with faeries. It was so weird to see people with wings but we didn't stand out because even though most of the faeries had wings there were still some who had not developed their wings. Most of the wings were big and black but there were some who had smaller and more elegant wings too.

We stopped when we reached a stall and I watched Raiden buy some food. After he bought everything we needed he took my hand again and led me to a shop.

"Do you like ice cream?" he asked suddenly

"What?"

"Ice cream." Do you like it? Last i was at the human world people eated ice cream."

"Uh well yeah I guess, who doesn't like ice cream?" i replied smiling

He smiled back and bought us both two ice creams and we started going back the way we came. "Aww that's sweet" said Dain from my head. "Shut up" I replied.

"So why are you here in Lightlee" I asked Raiden while eating my ice cream

"I was a dumb teenager who mistook stupidity for bravery and ended up here, the rest can you imagine. I couldn't get back and I am still trying to find a way to open a pocket door and get back to the human lands. I realized Etetis was my best chance at this so I joined them" he answered me with a closed answer

"Is Etetis what you guys call yourself?" I asked.

"Yes, Jaiblynn suggested the name when Eleni decided to join us. It is supposed to be the name of the first King who ever tried to lift the curse. Rumors say that he died trying that and that he was the last king who ever did anything in the cause."
