Part 11: A Witch Meets The Council

Ryla's POV:

There were gasps, shouting, and shocked faces when Ryla landed her broomstick.

Good thing that was one of my better landings!

Ryla's Witch School Elvin History class had prepared her very well for this moment and so she wasn't surprised when she saw twelve elves wearing crystal circlets on their heads looking as regal as her teacher had described. She also knew that councilor Emery was the spokesperson for the council and so he did most of the talking. He was a telepath and he used his powers to let the council members speak mentally so they that out loud the council would maintain united front.

"I can't believe this! A witch!" A woman with long curly blond hair wearing a pink long dress exclaimed.

"How were you flying?!"

"What's your name?"

"Where do you live?!"

They kept on shouting questions at Ryla and she just stood there confidently, waiting for them to realize that she can't answer them all at once.

"ENOUGH!!!!" Councilor Emery shouted. Then everyone went silent.

"What is your name and why are you here?" Councilor Emery calmly asked her.

"My name is Rylabelleingpotionswell Hctiw, but I go go Ryla." She waited for him to nod before she continued. "And originally, I was sent to the Lost Cities to..... rob the Lost Cities archives- hey get off!" Ryla shouted as two of the councilor's bodyguards grabbed Ryla's arms like they thought she was going to attack or something.

"You may retreat." Councilor Emery told them.

Then the goblins took their arms off of her, but they still stood really close.

Bro......

Ryla scooted away from them and then they scooted closer to her.

"This is unnecessary! Tell your little goblin friends to give me some space."

"I'm not sure we can necessarily trust that you won't attack or do some... witchy thing or something." Councilor Emery said, and the rest of the council nodded their agreement.

"I assure you, I mean no harm." Ryla said as she put her hands in the air to prove she had no weapons, but then she accidentally slapped one of the goblins in the face! The goblin she slapped had a red handprint on his face and the other goblin picked her up off of the ground.

"Hey! Put me down!" She yelled.

"You just attempted an attack!" The goblin holding her said.

"Did not!"

"Yes you did!"

"It was an accident!!"

One of the councilors signed. "What happened then Ryla?" He asked.

"I was gesturing with my hands!" She yelled.

He chuckled and said "Mmmh sure."

Ryla rolled her eyes and mumbled "Whatever."
