Chapter 2:Preparation

Preparation

=====================================

Iris had slept so long that it was headed to the afternoon. Luckly, she woke up before the afternoon and decided to go for a little walk to the training dorms to get her mind off things a bit. She still hadn't told her friends about the quest and stuff so she figured she could use that time to explain everything to them.

During her walk to the training dorm, she couldn't help but think of the mission she had at hand.  What if I never find them? What if I can't restore the kingdoms? What if I fail Maridon?What if...

'Enough with the what ifs' Cathleah suddenly spoke up cutting Iris' trail of thoughts.

'You read minds too?'

'Just yours. I have a connection with your mind and you thinking about all these things is making my head ache." Iris heard Cathleah sigh before she continued

"Iris believe in yourself. Lucia believes in you , I believe in you. Why can't you believe in yourself?'

Iris felt like Cathleah was getting annoyed by her disbelief in herself by the tone of her voice to comfort her. She decided to put that all aside.

'Did you just call my aunt Lucia? Just Lucia?'

Iris heard Cathleah sigh for the nth so much that Iris thinks it has become a trademark for Cathleah. Iris waited for an answer but she got nothing. She figured that that Cathleah was just avoiding her question for some reason but she shrugged it off. She didn't want to pry into someone's private life as of now.

She arrived at the training dorms and met Julia and Ara training in the training yard. She wasn't that excited since she would be leaving tomorrow and honestly she didn't know if she'd come back. Iris didn't even notice that her two friend were running towards her with wide arms but Iris couldn't smile even if she wanted to. She was too depressed.

"Aww...little Iris is sad. Is it about the quest?Don't worry you'll do just fi..."

"How did you know?"

Iris had cut Julia off.

"Well my mother wanted me to deliver a message to the Queen. So I flew by the library and I happen to hear things."

"Yeah and she came back to tell me."

Ara said as she gave Iris a hug. When Julia told Ara the big news the night after. The girls felt proud yet saddened that they won't be seeing Iris for some time. Iris gave them a group hug.

"Oh girls...I'm gonna miss to dearly"

She gave them a warm smile. She wanted to show them that she won't let them down.

"There's no doubt that the Ignas freaks are gonna come here next since this is the only remaining kingdom that isn't under their rulership. Yeah... I'm not calling them Lords.  They are just a bunch of mean bullies who are so self- centered and too desperate for power." Julia fumed, stomping her feet with each word she said it and it dripped with vernom.
