"Sorry, can't tell you. Not until you make the Blood Oath. " He said in a sing-song voice, almost as if he was mocking me.
"Fine," I unwrapped my hands from around his neck. "I'll make the stupid Blood Oath thingy. " I huffed, crossing my arms and watching the red finger-prints fade away on his neck.
"Stupid people." I sighed under my breath and headed towards the exit flaps. Something dawned on me. "Where am I supposed to sleep?" Everyone chuckled loudly and I snorted. "What?" A lady stepped forward, she was short and old and reminded me of the Kings mother.
"Deary, let me come and explain some things to you." She led me out of the tent and into a dry, muggy field. "Where are we?"
"We are in the Field of Prosper, the separation between the camp and the Kingdom Aurano's." She smiled fondly, as if remembering some small inside joke. "So, uh what's this whole: "Explain something to me?" mean?"
"You are the embodiment of magic, everything. Daughter of Earth, Daughter of Air, Daughter or Water, and Daughter of Fire." Her face was grim when she said I was the Daughter of Fire or whatever, so I guessed it was a pretty bad thing to be one.
"But- I don't have a parent named Earth, Air, Water, or Fire."
"You may be born by woman, a very wonderful, talented woman too. But that doesn't mean that you can't have multiple parents. Your spirit belongs to the elements, along with Death, Chaos, and Destruction. Those three chose your brother. Yes that poor Tw-"
"Oh dear, I've said too much. Well, anyway. As a daughter of Earth, your body needs no sleep. So we assumed you knew this and never gave thought to a place to sleep on." She frowned as she was lost in thought and she drifted off back to the camp, leaving me with my own thoughts to ponder about.
