Divine Will

Chapter 1

                                                                                       Normal P.O.V.

        "How come I have to go get the stupid supplies..." Micah trudged along the forest with the crunch crunch and snap of leaves and twigs under her feet. She'd been sent to get supplies from a human camp nearby. The tall trees had been shielding her from the sun but she was still tired since flying down here had drained some of her magic. Her hair was brown with blonde streaks, her eyes were also brown accompanied by a gentle face, she wore a blue button down shirt with jeans and a black coat that reached down to her shins along with green converse. She collapsed on her knees and held her hands up to her face. "WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS TORTUROUS EXERCISE?" Suddenly there was the sound of leaves rustling somewhere in the forest.

                                                                                     Micah's P.O.V.

        "Huh?" I took out my dagger that I kept hidden in my coat. 'I thought there weren't any animals around this part of the forest, and there isn't any wind today either'. I crouched down and scanned the area silently for any signs of life. I hear movement towards me from behind."Eek!" I spun around and swung my dagger around in different directions with my eyes closed, resulting in me falling flat on my butt. Slowly I open my eyes to see nothing in front of me. "Well I think I should better get going, it was nice meeting you mister ghost!" Quickly, I grabbed my satchel and my knife, and walked away from the area I was standing at. 'I don't know who or what was back there but there's was something definitely not right about it'. I continued running in the direction I was told to go while looking at the map given to me by my sister Mina. Throughout the hike I tried to forget about the occurrence which wasn't very hard considering the several other things on my mind. "I just hope it's really close now." I said to myself.

        As Micah jogged through the dense forest a hooded figure watched her from above. The figure jumped from branch to branch in an a agile fashion to follow Micah. When she stopped to rest, the figure did the same. The figure pulled down the hood concealing his face revealing a young boy with black hair, hazel eyes, broad eyebrows, and a mischievous yet stern face. The boy plucked an apple from the tree he resided in, rotating the apple in his hand. "So the princess has finally come out of her hiding hole." He said with a deadly serious expression. The boy bit a chunk of the apple with a juicy, wet crunch and swallowed it. A big smile full of excitement stretched across his face from ear to ear. "This'll be so much fun!" He almost shouted making Micah notice but she shrugged it off and went back to jogging toward her destination. The boy put his hood back on with a look of determination and charged faster than Micah could run into the few dozen trees in front of her. He puffed up his cheeks and let out a long sigh before jumping off the tree and onto the ground below startling Micah. He flipped in the air a few times before landing perfectly on his feet. "Ack!" Micah sputtered as she fumbled to take her dagger out. The boy took the hood back off and bowed in a polite manner. "Ummm, who exactly are you?" Micah asked the boy. He looked back up, smiled at her and said "Hiya, it's nice to meet you. Oh and the name's Hugh by the way."
