A Tale From The Past

~Chapter III~

❄️Iduna's Point Of View❄️

Opening my eyes I realise I'm inside a house because of the wooden ceiling and that I'm laying on a bed with a blanket over me.

Sitting up, I look around the room. It wasn't big but wasn't small either. It had beautiful wallpaper, with a wooden floor. The bed was a beautiful purple. My favourite colour.

I also noticed a large antique wardrobe in the corner of the room near a window that showed the view of the castle and breathtaking ocean.

Suddenly I hear voices from outside the door and before I could react the door opens revealing two people.

The male who if I remember correctly from the wagon ride name is Gustav. He was quite tall with black hair and soft brown eyes.

Next to him was his wife I presumed, Helga. She was beautiful, she had striking blue eyes almost like mine and dirty blonde hair. Compared to her husband she was quite short.

"It seems you are awake" says Gustav smiling as they made their way towards the end of the bed

Nervous as I was, I just nodded my head and kept my eyes on both of them.

"What's your name sweetheart?" Asks Helga as she sits on the edge of the bed

Looking down, I fiddle my fingers around before looking back up and replying,

"Iduna"

"Such a beautiful name" comments Helga

"We must ask darling, but where did you come from? We noticed you were on our wagon with his Royal Highness" questions Gustav softly

"I-I came from the Enchanted Forest tribe, a-a fight broke out and I hid. B-but I noticed the Prince unconscious and got him safely out. Be-before a powerful mist covered the forest. I-I can't return home" I say starting to cry

"Oh dear, it's okay honey" comforts Helga as she hugs me to which I return

"Thank you for telling us, it must have been hard" says Gustav as he places a gentle hand on my shoulder smiling

Just nodding I use my sleeve to wipe my eyes.

"I must be off to work but you are much welcome to stay here with Helga today" Gustav states as he leaves the room

"Are you hungry sweetheart?" Helga asks  

Right as she said it my stomach made a loud grumble which made Helga chuckle.

"I take that as a yes, come now let me show you around before I start on breakfast" She gestures

I get off the bed and follow closely behind her as she gives me a quick tour of their beautiful cottage before making our way down the stairs towards the kitchen

"You have a beautiful house miss" I say looking around at the decorations in the kitchen

"Thank you, and please just call me Helga" she smiles before turning around and preparing breakfast.

❄️Time Skip❄️

Helga made a delicious scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast which I definitely enjoyed
