Chapter 8 3/3: Sophia's Journey + Art

This is supposed to be present tence. But, I started it in past then changed it, so sorry if it sounds weird. Also, at the end I though pacing out the window.

~~~

Roybin and Diana disappear from my sight as I'm dragged down by dark magic. I let out a muffled shriek as I collided with a rock, which left a long scar on my face. (Somehow the magic over my mouth didn't stock the rock that scared my face.) Then knocked unconscious my most likely another rock.

That wasn't fun. I mean, it wasn't supposed to be. But they could've teleported me instead!

I don't remember getting free, by magic, luck or something else. But when I regained my conscious again, I was in a small cave, inside a sleeping bag, with a backpack next to me. I quickly sit up and feel the left side of my face, it's bandaged, with medical bandages. I crawl out of my sleeping bag and opened the backpack.

Water canteen, first-aid kit, hatchet, pocket knife, paracord, fishing equipment (rod not included), bow and a full quiver of arrows! Jackpot! I've always been good with a bow and arrow, even joined the archery team in elementary school, middle school and high school! Oh, there was also fire starter stuff.

I stand up and slowly walked to the entrance of the cave. It's a big cave, with an area of like, 750 square feet. Size of the backyard at home. Once I get to the entrance I see, many sleeping bags, backpacks and book were littered around the cave. With my magic, I draw the bow and quiver towards me and go outside the cave.

The cave is marked 'Infirmary' in charcoal at the entrance with a big log. There was a forest a few feet away from the mouth of the 'infirmary', and a very large cliff above it. I walked into the forest trying to find where I am, nothing helped. Normal Birch, Oak and Alder tree surrounded me along with berries I don't know are safe or not. Nothing showed others were around or were there. I take a thick stick and leave the forest.

"You're awake." I quickly turn around summoning a small dagger into my hands.

I'm greeted my a small white wolf or dog, "Whoa! No need for that! Sorry I startled you!"

I blink a few times to make sure I'm not dreaming, I just casually saw a talking animal. "Is this your place?" I ask turning back around to face the wood I'm carving, letting my dagger dissolve. "Yep! Found it and decided I'd make this a small pit-stop on the way though the forest." The wolf answers trotting towards me, "I want to know how you got a large scar on your eye and came falling out of the sky by dark magic." I carve a bit more, "Here's the short answer, magic's weird."

The wolf glares at me so I end up for an hour explaining every thing that happened in the last like, 2 weeks.

"You're weird, Asian girl." The wolf says laying across from me. "Asian girl! Where did that come from!" I exclaim staring at the wolf. The wolf turns onto his or her back, "You're Asian looking, and your a girl." "That's racist. Though I look Asian doesn't mean I am." I mutter, "my name's Sophia." "Marvin. I'm also a 'he'. " The wo- Marvin says.

There's a small flash of light. I look up to see, a albino human-wolf hybrid. Everything's human except, wolf ears and tail.

One week later

"Yes! I can see in both eye's" I exclaim. Marvin and I took the bandage off my eye this morning. Marvin lets out a little 'yip' and bounces into my arms. I pet his head and laugh.

A lot got done in a week. We built a bookcase, small beds so you don't have to say on the ground, a proper door for the infirmary and much more.

"I wish there was a way I could come with you on your travels." Marvin says smile fading. "I'm sure there is one." I answer sitting down, putting him in my lap, "It just requires magic I don't have full control of." Marv nods and rests his head on my arm.

The sun sets outside the infirmary, Marvin and I sit on a panel of my magic high in the sky watching it. I wrap my now black wings around us as we watch.

(Her wings are black because she now can use all the elements if she pleases. But can only fully control Light. Marvin (and a book) taught Sophia galactic.)

"Alder." I whisper in galactic. Marvin looks at me puzzled, "What? What does alder have anything to do with?" I pat his head, "If I say alder if I happen to come here It means it's me. The more I say it, the more people are with me." Marv nods.

Dawn slowly comes upon us. I say my final good-byes to Marv, take off with my large black and gold wings, with my open dark gold trench coat on (hood flipped up), mask and blindfold also on, into the slowly lighting sky.

Uhhh...I feel like that was really emotional. Anyways, here's some art I made:

I modeled to get the pose then traced it -and colored- on ibisPaint X
