The Phoenix's Breath

chapter 7 A bitter sweet release

Sorry again, I'm trying.
My best apologies again, and I need a new schedule bc y not?
I hate myself, so what else would I do?
My biggest of apologies, I had a few weeks of exams for the end of the trimester and the biggest writers block, so I was packed.
But it's fine now.
Basically, no one's coming to school, so no tests..yet.
Ilya, so please enjoy 😉

Livian's pov

As soon as I made my way out of

I grabbed as much jewelry as i could carry, stuffing them into my bag that i stole.
Of course, i was not lesving empty-handed, not after all that.

As soon I made my way out, I began running like there was lightning in my feet, using the memories I now possessed I ran.

I ran in one fixed direction, to where..?
Lord help me, because for one did not know where I was going my body was moving on autopilot and I had no choice but to go with the flow, the basic knowledge I have of this place as just barle enough to keep me afloat, I cross my fingers as I continue to run into an unknown location that seemingly does not end.

This part of the palace, which was apparently where I had been, had no walls..nope just an overly and intensely dense forest which,  I deemed not safe, but who am I to judge?

I kept running for an exaggerated amount of time, but I swear it made no difference.

All I saw were trees, which could have actually been useful in case of emergency had I not been trying to escape..!

No longer seeing the point in running like some untrained animal, I stop to take a break.

As soon as I do sit down, however, some commotion erupted in the near distance, in the direction I had currently been following.

This strike up a fit of curiosity inside me as I got up and began to walk towards the noise, how stupid I thought to myself, as I made my way closer to the strange noise that had me ever so captivated.
The  bumpy uneven terrain of tree roots and sharp stones surrounded by an ungodly amount of trees was slowly reduced to scattered out trees and naturally paved path way most likely mean ehere had been people to walk all over it.
I follow the path and find a properly paved dirt path marked with, I assume, are tire tracks and footprints, lower down, I find the source of the commotion.
What is that?
What are those things called?
A cart?
A cartridge..no that's not it..
...
Oh yeah, a carriage!
Omg, people!
And just my luck too, they're going the other way, away from that man's palace, that is.
I run towards the carriage,  yelling and flailing my arms about until the thing comes to a stop, to my surprise they don't ask for any payments, it must what I'm wearing I look like a noble, well at least I think I do.
They said that they were headed for the capital and offered to drop ne off at central, not that I knew where that was, but I accepted the free ride anyway.
And boy, was it a long free ride.

____________ 3hrs past___________

We finally made it to the capital, and I was indeed correct, I am lost.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm gonna do next I know tha5 I have the money to pay like a hotel or whatever these things are called but still, we're on earth so I find that?
Is this even earth still?
I'm hungry and bored, and there's no internet.
All I can do for now is wander around and ask about it.
Maybe I might find someplace to sleep?
