Jesemine

Inside of an ornate carriage looking lazily out of the window at the passing country side as it rolls past, "Young miss... the journey will take us a little under a week to reach the capital." An older man who wore a butler like uniform said.

".. alright Charles.. why did father order me to visit the kings vassals.. why couldn't he chose Liliana instead?" I said as an exasperated sigh escaped my lips.

"Young miss you are the Heir to the barony so it is your duty to make your presence known to the commoners.. and Liliana is too busy at the Rexenvel Royal Academy studying to become your court mage." Charles spoke plainly

Charles continued, "It is a shame what happened to Prince Johan.. the king is still searching for the legendary elixir of life to regenerate his sons.. cough .. member.."

"Why are you feeling sorry for a little shit like that.. Prince Johan is always trying to get into mine and my sisters pants.. well he was.. I'm happy his 'little brother' is gone." I said.

"Jesemine! Watch how you speak regardless of your status he is still your Prince.. just have care how you speak in the future.." Charles shouted.

"Hmph!" I turned from Charles and returned to watching the scenery until falling asleep with the gentle bump of the dirt road underneath.

Time passed slowly as I drifted into my dreams, however I was roused as I heard muffled shouting.

"Wha..ts happening..?" I said coming to consciousness.

"I will go find out stay here Young miss." Charles said as he opened the carriage door, as soon as he did two arrows struck him in the chest ending his life.

My world started spinning this emotion... Fear ran wild through my veins it heard squelching sounds, sounds of men grunting in agony then a forgien male voice rang through the air, "Find the girl capture her!"

Pulling out Charles' sword from his pack I then jumped out of the back window of the carriage trying to flee. Upon doing so the many corpses of the guards lay scattered in pools of blood. That littered the road like a battlefield. Unable to hold back i vomited and fell to my knees.

"OVER THERE! SHES TRYING TO ESCAPE!" The bandits roared.

Scrambling up i put my back to a tree shakily holding the blade infront of me as the group of at least 20 men surrounded me.

"Drop the sword girly and come with us.. don't make us force you.." a fat bandit sneered.

As a last ditch effort I screamed at the top of my lungs, "Please! Someone help me!"

"Heh.. scream all ya want girl no one in their right mind would step in.. plus no one's around for miles.."

Suddenly, "Halt bandit scum...!" A man with sleek short black hair, eyes of emerald, he wore a black set of cloths with chains linked around his cloths.. he is so handome..

I watched in awe as he summoned a halo of frozen blades and cut down every bandit in his wake with fluid motion as if he was dancing, his blade seemed like an extension of him.

"Maybe I will be saved..." The thought past through my mind as tears fell from my eyes..

He asked he spoke it was as if a celestial had descended...

I could feel his cold chilly mana but contrary to my initial thought.. I thought i was going to be breathless from his heavy mana like the bandits.. however I was unaffected as if he wasn't using any.. many mages have to spend decades completely controlling their pressure.. but from my savior all I felt was a comforting wind blowing through my hair.. as if I was looking at magic incarnate..

In a blink of an eye my savior was standing a few hundred feet from me and the circle of bandits and just like that he vanished the next moment all of the bandits were killed and my binding were slashed and my savior looked down at me as if was being held in his arms.

My savior looked exhausted yet trying his best to keep a calm face. "You are safe.. "

"Who... are you?" I asked in awe.

My savior spoke quietly clearly having exhausted his mana, "My.. name.. is Jareth." He said as he quickly lost consciousness.

My savior.. Jareth sat expended of mana, holding me in his arms unconscious.. what is this feeling... he's so... magnetic.. he's bleeding from his waist seems like he was cut.. id better try to clean his wound.. I owe this man so much for rescuing me..

Carefully I left his embrace.. though I've didn't want to.. laid him on his back as my face started to heat up I took his armor and tunic off, I ran my fingers down his muscular chest, feeling each contour of his abs...

"Ah~ he's more handsome then I'd ever imagine..... what if I had a peek at.. his sword... shaking my head no! no! I can't no matter how much i want to.."

I then slapped my cheeks and moved to his wound.. "Odd.. I was sure the wound was deeper.."

It seems like my handsome savior is just full of mysteries. Shaking my head again I ran back to the over turned carriage rummaged for a bit before finding the first aid kit Charles always kept around he even went so far as to train me in first aid should I ever need it.

Returning to Jareth I started to dress his wound with some gauze, the little mana I had I infused into the wound to try to heal him.

A little over an hour past before he started to stir. As he was about to sit up I placed my hands on his chest and tried to prevent him from rising, "Don't get up too fast.. you will open your wounds." He nodded as I continued, "I am very much in your debt for saving my life.. please let me know how to repay you."

His emerald eyes locked with mine it sent tingles down my spine..

I am willing do do whatever to stay with him... I mean repay him..

Jareth opened his mouth, "You can start by telling me your name." As she smiled to me.

"Ah.."
