Prayer of the Princess

Chapter 2: Burning Houses

"So, we hear you happen to know where the Wind vestal is," an Eternian Sky Knight asked me. "I do' I replied, "But I'm not telling you were she is," The Sky Knight glared at me. "Very Well, then. We'll have Ominas try to get you to talk."

With that he left the room. Who's Ominas? That question was answered for me when a man wearing black robes and a pointy hat came into the room. "Well hello there Your M-M-Majesty," he said with an awkward bow. This guy must have speech problems.

"Hello," I say back. "You must be Ominas." "R-r-right you are m-my dear. I am Black Mage, Ominas C-c-Crowe." I look back at him. Black Mage? I wonder how powerful he is.

"Anyways, t-t-tell us where the Wind vestal is and you will w-walk away unharmed," he said after a moment's silence. "As I told the Knight that was in here earlier, I' not telling you where she is," I replied. He grunted in frustration "And even if I did tell you where she is, what if I gave you false directions, hmm?" He was glaring at me now but I didn't care. I wasn't going to tell them where Agnes was.

"Oh you little- well then if you won't tell us w-where she is then we'll have to t-t-take matters into our own hands! Guards!" he shouted. "Make way for C-C-Caldisla! We've got a house to burn,"

It didn't take long for the airship to reach Caldisla. Once we were there, someone picked me up and jumped out of the ship. I screamed because we were higher than I would've appreciated. We landed safely but the Knight didn't let me go until he had me tied onto something. I pulled but it was no use. Ominas got off the ship as well and walked to the house right next to the inn. Wait a minute, I know who's house this is. This is bad.

Before I got the chance to do anything about it, Ominas cast a fire spell on the house and it burst into flames. It burnt slowly but you could still see it. "Burn! B-b-burn!" Ominas laughed. He must know that I know who's house this is. "Ominas Crowe!" I shouted. "Is this your way of getting me to talk because it's not working. I'll never tell you where the vestal is. Not in a million years!"

I said. As soon as I said it, I noticed two people looking at m from one of the windows at the inn. I didn't pay much attention to it because Ominas turned towards me and started to say something, "F-f-fine then! But I'm not letting you go yet. Come! We're make for the Ruins of Centro Keep."
