The Secrets of the Maddala Kingdom

On The Run

Deep inside the forest of Fele is a figure racing though, bounding over the fallen logs. Upon a closer look to reveal a girl of about 15 years old with long black hair twisted into a braid. She is wearing a plain black shirt with black leggings complete with silver designs on the sides. Upon her waist is a silver belt adorned in gems. On the left side of her belt holds a sword and connected to her belt is a bag filled with items that rattled and bounced for every jump that she takes. She wears sturdy knee-high black boots. 

Slowing to a stop, she came across a waterfall, emptying into a lake with plants surrounded the lake.  Stopping at the lake, she knelt down on her knees and cupped water into her palm and raised it.  Somewhere a twig snapped and she flicked her eyes towards the sound, slipping her hand into her bag and discretely pulling a thin long knife glinting in the sun. 

Narrowing her eyes, she threw the knife flying towards the sound and heard a grunt. She got up and inspected the bush. Hiding behind the bush, was a teenage boy. He has short and fluffy blond hair with crystal blue eyes and the glint of her knife embedded itself in his left shoulder. He grabbed it and tried to yank it out but she stopped him.

"Don't do that, you only hurt yourself more" Hearing her voice, he looked up at her.

"And how do you know" he retorted rather stupidly

"Are you implying that I can't save myself from a stab wound" She questioned while raising her eyebrows

"N-no that's not what I meant" He looked down in embarrassment

Shaking her head in disbelief, she summoned her bag from the lakeside and opened it. She  grabbed a bandage from her mystery bag and started to unwind it. Once she was satisfied with the amount, she cut it off with a small silver pocket switch knife from her person. "Rip off you shirt" she ordered

"Why" he asked

"Unless you want blood stains then be my guest." she retorted, not bothering to check. He huffed before gripping his shirt in his right hand and ripped it.

She placed the roll of bandages back in her bag and placed the smaller roll on the ground next to the boy. Raising her hand to the handle, she muttered under her breath a chant that slowly removed the knife and healed the wound surrounding the knife. The knife pulled out and fell down, bouncing on the ground. Cutting off the enchantment, she picked up the blade and stowed it away. Then she stowed away the pocket switch blade back on her person. 

Meanwhile he stared at her like she's some strange creature. He opened his mouth then thought better of it and closed it only to open again very much as a fish would. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and said

"I know you have questions, just ask." He flushed bright red from embarrassment.

"Who are you" He blurted. She raised her eyebrows and walked behind him.

"That's a rather crude way of asking for their name" she replied and started wrapping the bandage around his shoulder.

"Sorry its been a long day" he said sheepishly, head dropping.

She snorted and tightened the bandage causing him to wince from the pain. 

"I suggest you not to move your arm much" she warned him

"Why not"

"Because you might tear it up again."

"What do you suggest I do then"

"Be careful how you move your arm" she tells him before getting up and walking to the lakeside.

"Wait! Wait up!" he calls to her. She got to the lakeside and starts to pack her things in her bag.

"What do you want?" she said

He stood up and walked towards her and then stuck his hand out

"My name is Victor, Victor Burtis" he announced

Glancing at the hand, she continued to pack her things before standing up and swinging her bag over her shoulders. She turned to him and said

"Name's Anvil, Anvil Kito."
