Your POV

I was camping just on the coast of Ru'aun, getting all of my stuff off the boat, before I want to burn it. I was putting the last of my items in my infinity bag when I hear a whisper nearby. Based on the fact that the forest is right behind me, I bet somebody is hiding in the bushes. But I'm not that stupid to do the traditional 'grabs sword and yells who goes there?'. I instead pretend not to hear it.

I walk back to my boat and with a snap of my fingers, the boat is on fire and making it's way back out to sea. I hear a gasp and the rustling of leaves behind me. So I innocently look through my bag for my S/W/T but pretending like I'm looking for something else. A few seconds later I feel a pair of eyes watching me. I'm used to that now though, being a princess and all.

After a while, without looking up, I say "So, are you just gonna keep hiding or are you gonna come out and face me?"

A few moments later (As if they hesitated), two guards came out of the bushes. One was someone I do not recognize, and the other was... oh no. One of the sons of O'khasis. I pull my hood up further and get my S/W/T close to the top of my bag. I began to panic. What if he takes me to my 'fiance'? I will never escape again HE will make sure of that.

"What are you doing inside the walls of Phoenix Drop?" The brunette questioned. I muttered a quick spell that changes the pitch of my voice, so they won't know what one is the real one.

"So I'm already in a village. Interesting." I was playing the whole mysterious visitor card. This would probably get me thrown into the dungeon but I don't care. As long as they don't take my cloak off I'm fine.

"Let me ask again. What are you doing inside the walls of Phoenix Drop?"

I dropped my S/W/T back in my bag and grabbed some rope. Then I snapped my fingers and my bag had gone into a little 'pocket dimension. The guards looking slightly puzzled, dropped their stance a bit. I took this chance to surprise them and toss them the rope. Rope infused with B/S is the only thing that can restrain me. Again they looked puzzled.

I held out my hands and said "Here. Tie me up and take me to your dungeon. I will cooperate completely." They unsurprisingly took this as what I assume to be a threat and charged at me. I stood there unfazed by what was going on. One was holding my arms into position, while the other using their own rope. "You might want to use the rope I gave you. She can break out of any other rope but that one."

They looked at each other, then at me. Then continued with the rope they were already using. "Alright then. But if you piss her off, Esmend have mercy on you."

"What do you mean? Why did you say Esmend instead of Irene?" The blonde asked.

"Hm? OH! that's right. I'm in a different region now. Sorry for confusing you two." My voice alter spell was still lasting. I took a deep breath. I need to keep control.

We started what I assume to be a short trek towards a village. As we passed the rope, it teleports into my hand. Which I preceded to teleport to my bag. I bet you're probably thinking, 'Well if I have teleport magic why don't I teleport away?' I want to show them I mean no harm.

The blonde was leading and the brunette was holding my arm as we walked. Not in like linking arms, but like he was kind of keeping me from running away. "So what's your name, where are you from, and what are you doing here?" I have gotten those three questions so many times it's not even funny. So I did what I do best. Lied.

"My name is F/N, I'm from a village far from here, and I'm running from some bad people back home," I answered, keeping my head high and facing straight ahead. My spell was wearing off a little so I quickly muttered it under my breath again. Then we reached what I assumed to be a guard station. Where I was quickly taken to a cell. My ropes were not removed. This will make her mad for sure. This her I speak of is my other half. She is a demon and a witch. Her name is Malora. (Pronounced Mal-or-ah)

As I predicted her voice popped into my head on cue. Can I take control so we can take off these uncomfortable ropes, please!?!  But in front of them? They won't care. I promise I will let you take control right after I break the ropes. Fine. But you better hold your promise. Yay!

She would have gone insane if I said no, so I agreed. It would, however, scare those guards who were on the other side of the cell. They would undoubtedly go and get their lord or king. I forget which this region has. As I let her take control, my cloak turned red and my hair turned white. My eye color changed from E/C to red, and my red horns could be seen too.

The blonde ran off, most likely to get the lord/king. Still can't remember. The brunette however just grabbed his sword. Which now that I could see it was an emerald sword. She broke the ropes, then as she promised, let me take control again. The guy, however, did not put his sword away.

"Don't worry about her. She won't hurt anyone unless we're being hurt." I said trying to comfort him. He eased his position a little but did not let go of his sword. "So if you don't mind me asking, what is your name?"

"My name? It's Laurence." He took a short pause. "The other guy was Garroth and our Lord's name is Aphmau." So it is a lord here then. Thanks for saying that. "I want to know. Where are you from?"

"I told you, a village far from here."

"I know but what village? You hinted that you were from a different region, so what region?"

"Those questions I wish not to answer to you but to your lord," I replied.

"Very well." Then I passed out.

Whoa! You passed out Reader~Sempai! Why? I still don't have an answer for that. But I will think of one shortly. Ciao!
