XXX Hey guys I hope that you like the book so far. And listen, I only publish about 1-2 chapters a day. I have middle school to worry about! So on weekends I will publish way more. If a school break comes up, I'll notify all my followers. - Sargent

When I was in bed, Slynaé appointed a maid to my every needs. Her name is Fern. She is a young, plump woman. She is very kind. She quizzes me on my tribe knowledge and yatta yatta yatta. Not that I'm saying that she is boring, just some of it is.

As she ran my bath water, she got me out of my dress. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but we got it handled. She handed me a towel. "Fern, can you leave me alone? I'm not bothered by your presence, I just have a lot to take in hand. Thank you for understanding." I said to her. She curtsied. "My lady, have a lovely night." She said. Then she left.

I sighed. Thank goodness she is gone! I slipped into the hot bath water. Honestly I couldn't wait to learn about water magic. This is like a storybook. How can I be picked to be a princess. And HTH did I get here? I mean I got ran over and died! WTH?!

"Ephia? I just in here. Do you have any questions?" Slynaé set a stool and sat by the wash tub. "Since I was human before this, how could I be alive, when I died?" She blinked and caught her thoughts.

"Well, the queen, has access to the spirit realm. It means that she had access to your soul. She must have picked you for some reason, like you weren't ready to," she said, "pass on."

I never really thought about that. "What about my, real mom, and my brother?" I asked her. A single tear rolled down her marked cheek. "I don't know, my parents abandoned me. I feel some of your pain." I went near her and used my thumb to wipe her tear.

"None of this is your fault. I had a pretty screwed up life back in my realm. I was bullied and left by my father. I think I will flourish here." I whispered to her. She smiled. Not for the bad things, but that I will flourish.

She kissed my forehead, and left. I got up from the tub and dried off. I wrapped the towel around myself and rang for Fern. She came running. She helped me into my night clothes and left mW to fall asleep.

Creak...

Whoa! Something just moved in my room. I my room! I kept my eyes closed and used my ears to listen.

A blade touched my neck. I felt it slice through my skin. I muffed a scream. Whoever cut me ran out of my room. The elf who did it didn't finish his work. Blood streamed down my neck onto my clothes.

I rang madly for the guards and Slynaé. I kept ringing. Slynaé and soon after, guards came running. Slynaé went to my bathroom and cleaned my would. The chief guard came in my room. His eyes were glistening with news.
