Aradia stared at the small house before her, Fafnir at her side with two suitcases on his other side. Neither were expecting much when they were sent to live with her father's family friend, but they most certainly weren't expecting a little house on the outskirts of Amoris. It was closer to the forest and as expected, had a fairy's touch with the ways flowers bloomed all around proving that there was life. Both gave a look to one another before looking at the house that clearly had a barrier around it. It was easily penetrated by the two, but it didn't stop from alerting the fairy herself. In an instant, the two were met with magenta eyes that held a fearful look before they soften as they landed on the petite girl with silver hair and bright blue eyes.
"Theodora...?" The fairy asked, walking closer to the girl who stood her ground. Getting a much closer look now that she was right in front, the fairy shook her head before smiling. "No, I'm sorry Aradia... You looked just like your mother did at your age, I mistook you for her." The fairy explained as she scratched her cheek.
"Its quite alright Miss..." Aradia trailed off, her tone formal as she spoke to the older lady. She may have been a family friend that has seen her since she was young, but that didn't mean she would drop formalities. Well, not yet at least.
"Oh! How could I forget!" The fairy tapped her head with her palm, both Aradia and Fafnir noting that she seemed the scatter brain type. "Agatha. Agatha Dixon. The last name is one I chose for myself when I came to the human world." She smiled, waving her hand and the barrier repairing itself to its former state. "On another note, I can't say I've met you before." Agatha finally looked toward the tall man standing next to her Goddaughter.
"Fafnir, I'm the familiar of Aradia." The pale looking man bowed. Agatha had to take a step back after taking in his physic. Tall and lean, but it was obvious that he was strong, one that was not meant to be trifled with. His piercing gaze went well with his sharp red eyes at seemed to look through Agatha. "It seems I no longer have to explain what I am exactly, Miss Agatha." His voice was deep and his gaze narrowed on the older woman.
"That's enough, Fafnir." Aradia's voice cut through the atmosphere in a second. Her gaze was pointed and cold as she looked at her familiar. "We are here to stay and on a mission, stop any foolishness now as we will need Miss Agatha's help in this." She explained before looking at the frightened fair. "I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience on his behalf. I will be sure to make him behave." Her head bowed and that only made the fairy flustered.
"oh, No! Don't worry about it, please raise your head." Somehow the fairy just couldn't wrap her finger around it, but it didn't come to her as much as a surprise. "But to have a dragon as your familiar... You truly are your parent's daughter... I'm still sorry for your loss." She smiled apologetically. "They would be proud of you." Agatha assured, but noted the young witch's expression didn't change much.
"Thank you. There is much to discuss, may we come inside?" Her formal tone still there as she gaze with an indifferent expression. Nodding, Agatha led them inside the small home, but a strange gaze from far away didn't go unnoticed to the two as it did for the fairy.
The tour of the house was quick as it only had two rooms and bathrooms, a small living room and a kitchen to match. Agatha was sure to let them know that they were allowed to use magic to change a few things, but when guest came over everything was to remain muggle like. It had a homelike feel to it, making it easier for Aradia to relax as she had set her suitcase down. Fafnir inspected it all, not too convinced with the setting. He wasn't sure if it was because he was used to Aradia's first home or the fact that they were already being watched, but he wasn't convinced.
"Everything was set up with the government, your identity, your parents and some information on them and yourself and how you came to be under my care." Agatha explained as she set down tea and a freshly baked pie. "It really pays to have friends on the inside. By that I mean I have a dwarf friend who works for the government. He helped set everything out." The magenta haired woman smiled as she served her Goddaughter and her familiar.
"Then we won't have to worry about identities, that's one thing checked off." Aradia said as she began to dig into the slice of pie. "What are our identities?" She decided to ask. It was better to be prepared, after all she would be attending school soon and Fafnir would have to blend in by getting a job.
"Aradia Silverstien, your full name and age stayed the same as well as your parent's name, but their ages were altered and whereabouts are unknown. You're from Germany, and after being in an orphanage for sixteen years, where you were home schooled there, a letter arrived saying I could have your custody." Agatha took a breather before continuing. "It took some time to find out if it was from your father, but my friend figured out a way to confirm and viola, that was sorted out. Of course if any one tried to dig up, the orphanage is run by another friend and everything in your file can be confirmed even if it's a lie." After saying the mouthful, she took a seat and watched the two.
"Fafnir West, your age was kept at nineteen, any history will also be confirmed, but its all very simple. You went to school, graduated and live a simple life. The schools listed will also be confirmed if anyone tried to dig into it." Her eyes trailed off to the man, hoping he wouldn't be upset with the setting, but the simpler the better. "No parents, emancipated and now living with us." Agatha added and Aradia stopped Fafnir from saying anything. "All paperwork for your identities will be here any day now."
"Thank you for all your help. We really appreciate everything you are doing and have done for us." Aradia nodded to the fairy who smiled in return. "There is one thing of concern for me." The young girl added, waving her hand and having her suitcase open itself up and have a book float over to her. "This high school I will be attending, is there anything I should know?" She asked the woman as the book opened and flipped page after page, the school's information before her eyes.
"Nothing in are all muggles, everyone in this town is. I can assure, I tested them all." Agatha looked up thoughtfully. "Though there are a few individuals who are sharper than they look. This town is awfully curious for its own good..." She trailed off before looking directly at the two. "So I only recommenced that you keep a low profile, nothing beyond average and nothing extraordinary. And absolutely no magic without a barrier to keep you hidden." Her finer pointed between the two, her face stern.
"We are aware that we have to be secretive with our magic," Aradia looked more toward her familiar. "We'll be careful, but magic is essential with what we are up against." Aradia looked to the fairy pointedly.
"I am aware of the war that is going to rage...But for now, please try and enjoy your time here." The fairy tried to lighten the mood, but Aradia was not raised to be so light hearted, not when there was something she must do. "Please go on and rest, you will be starting school tomorrow." Agatha smiled at the two and started to clean up.
Nodding at the fairy, Aradia had a door appear at the end of the hall for Fafnir and she went to her respective room. The room was small and simple, but with a way of her hand, it looked exactly as it did in her old home. A large bed, a bookshelf that was filled with both spell books and muggle books. A table with potions and other ingredients for more. A large window that did not match the one that appeared outside, next to it was a telescope and a globe. The scene made her relax and note how tired she actually was from everything hitting her at once and so soon. Flopping into her bed, she didn't bother either Agatha or Fafnir for the night, the other two doing the same.
Fafnir was sure to lock himself in his room. Everything hitting him as well, but it only made him more tense then it exhausted it. His first priority was Aradia's safety, being away from her while she was at school didn't set will with her. They were connected sure, but they were always together. It would help with gathering information, but he had thought they would stick together. Muttering some words under his breath, the room changed as well. It was mostly black, almost like a vampire's den. Sitting at the edge of his bed, Fafnir let out a sigh. He knew that Aradia was more guarded than she looked, she was the strongest witch he has ever met. But it was because of that very reason he worried for her safety. Was it really okay to come to such a sleepy town? Fafnir wasn't sure, but there was something going on that they needed to stop.
