It was just a normal day...
Or at least that's how it started.
I've lived in this village for almost 150 years now. Nothing like this has ever happened before. We've been attacked before but only by small monsters and bandits. Never by knights, never by this many.
I wish I would have taken those magic lessons, maybe then I could... maybe I could have saved them. All I could do was run. I'm such a coward. I should do something, anything. But all I'm doing is shaking. Maybe it's my age but I'm not panicking, I'm just scared, No I'm just frozen from the fear, it won't let me panic.
If you looked at me you'd think I'm 12. I used to hate this but I think the knights are only killing the adults. Now that I think about it I never told Rain and Bluebell my real age. I wonder if they're still alive...? Maybe one of the knights found them and he... no! I can't think like that. I can't bear to think what happened to them. They're just kids.
I've been hiding under this wagon for almost the entire time. I saw a knight run into Rain and Bluebell's house. He's been in there for a while. I should help, why can't I let go of my legs? Oh, that's right... I can't do anything to help.
No! Even if it's hardly anything I'll try! Wiping my tears I start to crawl out from the under the wagon. Huh, what's that? Ack!
＊＊＊
Ouch! Ugh... my heads killing me. Wha? Where am I? Wait... I know this place? Don't I? What's with this bed? No stop, answer your own first question before asking more.
Think...
Is...? Is this the royal palace?!? Why am I here!?! I haven't been here for like 40 years!!! Calm down me! Calm down, ok I can think a little more ouch! My head...
Huh? Bluebell? Why is she here? Well, at least she's alive.
"You can't sleep like that."
I mumble as I cover her with my blanket, it's just like her to fall asleep at someone's bedside, but where's Rain? Wait there's someone next to me in bed? Rain? I remove the sheet that covers him. Yup, that's Rain. But he looks in pain, I look over him for injuries. He's been hit in the stomach pretty hard. But he should be fine though. He'll be in pain for a few days but other than that he should be fine. I think-
"Miss Forestwood, the king would like to see you."
Forestwood? I haven't heard that for a while. so David wants to talk? I haven't seen him since he was young. More importantly, I need to ask him how this happened. Wait who is this maid? No, it doesn't matter right now
"Ah... thank you, I'll be right there."
"Of course Miss Forestwood, I shall wait for you outside the door."
She said while bowing, then she closed the door. Okay, I softly get out of the bed, oh there's a dresser. It should have something I can wear. These are good, I picked a leaf green Mage cloak. It's a pretty good one, made from tearmetal. Going to keep this one, I open the door and step out.
"Miss Forestwood, this way if you please."
"Yes, thank you, please lead the way"
I say to the maid. And she leads me passed many rooms and the such.
However, one room strikes my interest.
"Wait"
I say while walking into the room. Wait... this is the room of a Mage. A strong one at that. No maybe even an Arch-Mage. The amount of Mana that's gathered is... it almost unbelievable.
"Who's room is this"
I asked but the maid seems to be in distress not knowing what to do.
"Um... miss I can't tell you, I'm terribly sorry!"
She said while bowing deeply. so need to know huh? Well, Whoever this person is they haven't been here long. I wonder who it is, this is going to bother me now.
"Alright, thank you maid-san please continue taking me to the king."
After I said that reluctantly the maid bowed lightly and continued walking quickly. After we arrive at a pair of huge doors, time to ready myself! OK! I'm 167 years old, this kid who plays a king will tell me everything. Okay! I can do this!
At my nod, the maid opens the smaller door and lets me in.
"Freya Forestwood, I welcome you to my palace."
Oi David, who do you think you're talking to, you child. You should at least come down from that throne of yours To welcome me. I mean you'd think he'd act a little different to a friend as old as me.
"Ah David, it's been awhile. How have you been?"
"Freya. Here and now. I am Called. King."
He didn't.
"Bahaha! I got you Freya! Bahahaha!"
haha, he is dead.
"David. Do you remember when you were a child... and I gave you that plush deer"
"Wait Freya you are not actually mad... Are you?"
"Do you still have it I wonder..."
"Okay, Freya you win I'll stop just please don't say anything more..."
He said while dropping his head down. That'll show you to try and mess with me. I've got dirt on everyone in this place.
"David, enough games. What happened to my village?"
He straightened his back and he's serious now.
"Freya... seven days ago the village elder was testing the future abilities of the children of that village."
"Yea and? What does that have to do with anything?"
"Freya, please don't interrupt. This is important."
This isn't normal He's very serious. I'll listen quietly then.
"When the time came for twins, named Rain and Bluebell. He had seen something. He had seen two very different futures for both of them. Both have the potential to become the Hero of legend. But at the same time, they both could become the Evil king."
"What... no..."
"Freya there is still a chance... for one of them at least."
"What do y-you mean...?"
"The elder also found out that if one was the Evil king the other would be the Hero."
"Wait you're saying that one of them will be the Hero, but the other would... would be a monster...?"
David nodded slowly and painfully. But why is it them? No, anyone but them. Those two are inseparable. If this happens one would have to... to kill the other.
"No! David there Must be another way! It doesn't have to be this way right!?!"
No... David, don't look away from me. Please tell me there's another way...
"This is a fate too cruel for children"
"Who... who are you?"
I say to the man who walked in, that robe he's wearing... it's the Mage I'm sure, the one whose room I looked through. No one else could have such a magical presence.
"My name is not of interest to you, but this is,"
he said while holding out a small jewel.
"Wait that's..."
