A Contract of Misfortune

Kavurs was sure that Zury had been sick but now she looked like any normal girl, if what she said was real about Petina then that little girls innocent face might be more dangerous than it seemed. "Are we almost there?" Zurry nodded.

"We just need to pass the main hall and we will be at the kitchen." Contrary to both of the sisters looking alike, Zury was much more calm while Petina was full of charisma and charm. What Kavira found interesting was that they hadn't encountered anyone while making their way through the kitchen. This was a castle, She was sure there would be more personnel here. "Here we are." The little girl opened the door to the kitchen, it was much more grand than any kitchen she had ever seen. Keero's castle, Drak City's noble mansion, they paled in comparison to this castle.

"What would you like to eat, miss....?"

"Kavira, I'll eat whatever is available." The little girl smiled and nodded making her way to the cupboards to pull out some cookies and milk. "I don't know how to cook... but these are some of my favorites."

This child was really sweet, Kavira couldn't help but smile. She took the cookies and ate them as fast as she could. The last thing she wanted was to get caught eating by the workers here. "There's no need to rush, most of our household is empty because our dad let people take a rest. He's a good king like that."

Kavira understood what she meant, giving the workers breaks was a sign of being a good and noble King. "By the way Miss Kavira, why're you here? I've never seen you before so I know you're not a worker."

Kavira choked on the cookie she was currently eating, she wasn't expecting her to be so quick minded. It really caught Kavira off guard. She wasn't sure what to say... She had only come here because she was following Dracon and she hasn't even met up with him while being in here. "I was going to meet a friend that works here but I found you on the floor so I stayed to take care of you instead."

"I appreciate that, I can't believe Petina would be happy with that." Kavira wasn't sure what was going on, from what she saw Petina was extremely worried about her sister. Then again, she had only just met her. Looks may always be deceiving. Kavira didn't have much of an appetite anymore and Zury noticed this.

"Come, I want to show you something."

Brenda had been roaming around the kingdom gazing at different shops, admiring the food, the jewelry, it all looked so wonderful. There was one necklace that she saw which stood out more than the rest. The blue eye of the blue dragon, it was just as mesmerizing as Brenda had remembered it.

She reached for it but before she could touch it, a group of guards made there way through the crowd calling out to Brenda. "Pixie, state your business here. Your kind is not to be seen here."

"My kind?" Brenda's confused face annoyed the guard in charge and immediately ordered for the other guards to arrest her. Brenda was pleading, demanding an explanation but the rest of the crowd just stood and watched. She wasn't with anyone so they couldn't witness and she couldn't tell them what was going on. "Please, I just need to find my friends to tell them what is going on."

"Friends? A pixie having friends?" The guards laughed in unison. None of this made sense, back in their Lost Realm Pixie's weren't viewed like this. They were dishonorable fairies but no one ever bothered them.

Brenda didn't have the ability to call her new found power at will but it didn't stop her from trying. She lifted rocks that flew in the opposite direction, she bent a tree that they strolled by, she even lifted everything off the ground as her last desperate attempt to be set free but nothing changed.

The men dragged her out of the market place while she was weak and dragged her into the dungeon. Unfortunately, from all the power she used she was too weak to really see where she had ended up. The guards threw her into a cage, locked it and walked up the stairs laughing.

"Hello?" Brenda could hear the whisper but after she was thrown on the floor she couldn't find the strength to get back up. The small female voice whispered to her once again but this time Brenda couldn't fight the pain anymore, falling deep into a slumber.
