Late, late, always late…Sylvia cursed herself as she hurried through the forest. Her tiny little body tore past the shrubbery and low hanging branches, not caring how many twigs she injured, or how many leaves she crashed through.
Kra’jit!
It’d only been a few weeks since she’d escaped from the Necromantia Dungeons- she had no clue where her last companion had disappeared off to- the escape had been somewhat of a palaver, really.
Magic.
She snorted in disdain at the word. Magic had been what helped them escape; magic had also been what went wrong, causing her to be whirlwinded onto this godforsaken land. All her problems began and ended with magic.
“Why couldn’t I have been a normal water nymph?� The little sprite muttered grumpily to herself, throwing a disdaining glare at a squirrel which had paused rooting for nuts to take in this odd sight.
Oh no, she had to be different. She had to be born with the element of lightning. What a joke. What a curse. There really was no rest for the magically challenged.
Sylvia stomped a few more feet forwards, and suddenly, wham, the oaken door was before her.
“Kra’jit,� she cursed again, wiping her nose ruefully. Those damn magical people, with their fancy hidden doors!
Gathering her wits, she knocked upon the door and was greeted by a woman, who looked puzzled.
“Down here,� Sylvia cooed, waving.
“Ah right, didn’t see you,� the housekeeper chuckled.
“I was kinda hard to miss in Necromantia,� she muttered, but smiled pleasantly at the woman. She gave all her necessary details, explained what she was here for, and the housekeeper let her in.
“Go along the corridor, and take the only door on your right.�
“Okies,� Sylvia said with a salute, before rolling her eyes, skin prickling at all the magical energy in the place. She felt like a house…on fire.
Breathe. In, learn how to control your power, then out, and no more encounters. A quiet peaceful life, away from everybody.
Taking another breath, she composed herself and with the most confident air, strode down the corridor and joined the other students. Either this would be most fun, or the second to worst mistake in the world, the first being not choking herself whilst still in the womb.
((Sorry if it's looong!! :P))
