Of Hylian Blood [ON HOLD]

Chapter 3: Have we met before?

People had been coming in and out of the bakery all day. Their mother came back after a litte while, but immediately left again afterwards,as she had promised her friend to a coffee. "Today has been absolutely flat out again, hasn't it? Imagine what the chefs in the castle must be thinking, having to prepare every meal for their highnesses..." Naomi sighed, wiping sweat from her forehead. Ellie simply shrugged, "I don't know, But we won't ever get to experience that, we're commoners"

DING!! DING!! DING!!!

"We have another customer...."
"I'LL GET IT!!!" Mabel laughs joyously, jumping to her feet and sprinting to the counter.

"Hello Ms! Can i help you?"
"Oh yes dearie....i do suppose you can help me....you haven't seen a lovely lady working around this area have you? Her name was....Nami? Nikki? Noni?"
"Naomi?"
"Yes! That's it! Naomi!"

Hearing her name being called, Naomi grabbed Ellie's hand and walked into the serving area, "May i help yo--" She was quite alarmed when the old womans shriveled and boney hands touched her forehead, "W-What are you doing?"

The old woman shuddered as she closed her eyes, "I see....Grey and...Yellow....Swords and feather dusters.....??....Stunning green forests and....marble stone...." She removed her hand from Naomi's forehead. "Oh dear, i am so sorry i don't know what came over me! But i do believe you have a sense of adventure coming your way..." With that, she turned and left.

"Forest? Feather dusters? What relevance does this have to buying pastries?!" Ellie screeched, her lilac eyes glinting with annoyance. Naomi sighed, "Ellie! Don't be so rude, she's old! Se can't help it!"
"You can't tell me what to think!"
"Yes i can! I'm your sister!!"
"NO YOU CA--"
"Uhm....excuse me?"

Naomi and Ellie looked back towards the door, immediately straightening themselves up when two rather upperclassed people walked through the door.

The taller, greyed haired male was simply scowling at them, his arms crossed whereas the shorter blonde haired female smiled graciously at them. "Hello!! My name is Selie and this grump over here is Toba!"

Toba looked over at Selie with a grunted, the sword and shield situated on his back clanking together with the force of the turn. His cold, black eyes stared down at her, "What did you call me, Selie?!"

Selie paid little to no attention to him at all, "Shush Toba! Anyways, we are here on the behalf of the chefs that work for their royal highnesses. We were sent here to buy some rather favourable pastries for the Queens royal ball in four days time. Her highness sent me, her royal chambermaid, down to buy some. However, the lands are very dangerous nowadays, so Toba insisted that he came with me! 'I am the Queens Royal Guard and it is my duty to protect every soul within the castle!' Thats what you said, isn't it Toba?" Selie giggled, her bright green eyes sparkling up at the blushing palace guard. Toba was at a loss for words, "I-I-I never said anything of the sort!!"

Naomi was utterly confused, "wait wait wait! Have i seen you two somewhere before...? You look utterly familiar..."
"They do look recognisable don't they sis?"
"I like these two already, Mi-Mi! El!"

Both Selie and Toba's eyes widened a little as they looked at each other with shocked expressions. Selie laughed nervously, fiddling with the sleeves on her maids outfit while Toba inadvertently swung his sword around before dropping it in the corner to pick up the pastries so they could leave. Selie blushed as she met the intenr and focused gaze of the three girls.

"Perhaps in another life we have? B-But i don't think that's possible...."
