You're still in your cell. The only thing that keeps you entertained is the wooden ball you made.
You hear swift footsteps. Someone whispers to you.
???: Y/N?
You: Who is it? You say throwing your ball at the wall.
???: It's Clementine.
You catch the ball and stand up.
You: Clementine?
Clem: Yes.
You: What are you doing here?
Clem: My friend and I are rescuing you.
You: Where is your friend?
Clem: He's looking for the keys.
You: Wonderful.
You sit and lean against the door.
Clem: So...
You: What troubles you?
Clem: ...I saw what happened in the courtyard.
You think that she might think you're a monster cursed by a witch like all the others thought.
You: Wait, please. I-I'm not a monster, I swear! Please don't hate me!
Clem: W-what? Why would I hate you?
You're dumbstruck by what she said.
You: You're... not afraid of me?
Clem: No. I see no reason to be afraid of you.
You: Wow...
Clem: Were people afraid of you?
You: ...They were. The whole empire was.
Clem: What happened?
You: ...My mother... she was a mage. My father had no understanding of it. I am not the son of an emperor and a queen... I'm a son of an emperor and a mage.
Clem: What happened to your mother?
A tear streams down your face and your voice begins to sound shaky.
You: When I was born... the queen thought that I was a gift from God... She was a very... dumb queen. Religion clouded her mind... My true mother taught me a variety of things. I don't remember most of them, but I was told that they will come back someday... When the queen found out who my true mother was, she ordered that my mother would be put to death. I tried stopping it with the lightning, and the whole empire had a view...
You hold out your hand like you're holding a ball and sparks of lightning move across your hand.
You: It was like... the strongest beacon anyone could see upon. When my father found out about this, he was enraged... He killed the queen. Nearly everyone in the continent was outside the palace and called me a monster that was cursed by witch. My father hired a mage to brainwash all of the empire, so that they would have no recollection of my ability... My mother died because of me.
Clementine feels terrible for you.
Clem: No, Y/N. Her death is not your doing. None of what you described was your fault.
Another pair of footsteps approach.
??? whisper: I got the keys!
Clem whisper: Great!
The door unlocks and opens. You see a teen with dreads look at you, star struck.
???: Wow...
You clear your throat.
