Ash City

"Okay....I'll try tomorrow."

"En...this is good. Perhaps if you start from the beginning, you can have a better understanding of the problem we face."

"En," Mika said no more and left her mind's space.

Opening her eyes, Mika was met with a dark room and even darker skies.

Looking over at the desk, she found a new tray of food waiting for her.

"I have never hated eating as much as I do right now..." Sighing, Mika left the bed and looked at her dinner.

Raising her hand, Mika released her powers to sense if any poison was added in. This trick was quite handy; She has to remember to thank Darko for teaching her this after he found out she was poison by her step-sisters.

All done, Mika sat down to her meal of leftover soup, grey meat, and vegetables that weren't honeyed.

Damn! No stale bread tonight, I was really looking forward to it.

With the supper in her stomach, Mika went to bed early, to rest up for the exploring she was going to have to do tomorrow.
