Metanoia

Chapter 12

Misty's Mysteries

"It's so blue!" Jimin gasped as they came to the border of Eyre, which also was along the sea front. "I've never seen the ocean before!"

Yoongi just smiled a the ex-princes giddiness before focusing on the dragon under him, "down Nephy, we must walk through."

Jimin raised a brow to this, "Why not just land in the town centre?"

"Eyre has a strong border, see the walls?" He pointed at the stone walls decorated in various vines, "it's to protect the citizens from evil magic and allow good magic in. They don't hate magic, they're just cautious around it."

They landed in a small clearing, hopping off the dragons back and walking her to a small pond for her to drink. Yoongi praised the dragon, petting her sides as she gulped away at the cool fresh water.

"Darling you must wait for me here, we'll be back tomorrow, early afternoon alright?" He explained to the dragon in soft and light tone. She purred in understanding, dropping her body to rest on the ground.

"She really does understand you doesn't she?" Jimin clicked in tongue, impressed with the witches abilities.

"We understand each other through years and years of friendship, ain't that right Nephy?"
The dragon loudly purred, blowing out a light puff of air into the witches hair, making his dark curls fly around for a minute, making both men giggle.

They began walking towards the large stone wall, both staring wide eyed at the sheer size of the wall itself.

Two guards stood at the entrance, dressed in the blue colours of Eyres kingdom. They stopped both men and stared them up and down.

"Identification please?" The first guard asked in a stern yet polite manner.

Yoongi opened his palm and a black and white seal glowed within his hand. Jimin stared with wide eyes, having never seen a witches seal before.

"From Anemone?" The guard asked again, pulling the witches hand closer and inspecting the glowing seal.

Yoongi shook his hand from the guards grip, the seal disappearing with his movement, "Yes, I'm here to purchase a wand."

"A witch from Anemone travelled to Eyre for a wand? A very unlikely story." The guards voice dripped with sarcasm, making the witch roll his eyes.

"He's currently residing within my Kingdom, and we cannot accommodate his needs at the moment, so your fine kingdom will have to do." Jimin finally spoke up, earning the attention from both guards.

"And your identification sir?" The guard spat.

Jimin held out his hand, showing his ring which was special for royalty. As to represent the Kingdom he belonged within, the ring shared a bright red jewel against a gold band.
Both guards went wide eyed, both dropping to one knee as the bowed to the doctor.
"Your highness, we apologise. We were not aware of any visit from Aithne."

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm here on casual business not an official visit. We are here simply to get him a wand and leave by morning, you recommend any good inns?"
