Lynette returned to face the king. He wasn't pleased with her coming back with nothing.
"Lynette, I told you clearly. Find the girl, betray her and bring her to me. Was it not clear enough? Do I need to send someone better than you?" The king asked
Lynette looked up and shook her head. She couldn't answer him. She knew her answer wouldn't be good enough for him. So she stayed silent.
The king looked past Lynette, as if she weren't there.
"You disappoint me Lynette. I will let you have a last chance. If you fail…you know the cost." He said turning away and walking out of the room
She left for her room. She fell on her bed a sighed. A knock came on the door.
"Lyn, can I come in?" a familiar voice came
"Yes"
It was Knoll. He rarely came to her room. He walked in; he looked up at her and smiled. Knoll was the same age but a bit shorter and weaker. He was a wizard, he wore long black robes.
"Heard you got yelled at…you okay?" he asked
"I guess…"
"ARE YOU SURE???" he asked again
"YES! Now silence before you get hurt!"
"Hahaha, still the same as always" he said chuckling
"…"
He looked at Lynette and smiled. He had always loved to tease her when she was young.
"I'm going with you," he said (probably getting to the reason he was here)
"So…he wants YOU to come? Well he knows you'll be a good boy and give reports like 'She's not doing her job' or…" Lynette tried to finish but was interrupted
"No, I WANT to go…I decided. And you can do nothing to change my mind, Lyn" he said and grinned
Lynette let him join her. They left the following day at dawn.
In Prontera.
"Mikora, are you okay?" Seth asked gently
"Mmmhhh. I think so." I answered
Seth had agreed to train me. It was hard but I was able to fight back. We began training a few weeks back. His mother often worried about my health.
After training when the sun began setting. Seth and I sat on a bench near the forest.
"Today went really well, huh?" Seth asked smiling
"Yup"
"Wanna take the day off tomorrow?" he asked
"I think…I think I'll leave for Alberta tomorrow"
"HUH?! Why?"
"I don't Lynette coming back…hurting more people…Seth you'll understand"
He nodded
He and I walked back to the house in silence. Not one word.
I felt as if I had hurt him. I needed to move or else she would follow me. She would have to find me first!
I put on a nightgown, Seth's mother called me into the other room.
I walked in, a man stood at the door. It was the thief from before. He looked at me and said,
"You had better move quickly. Lynette is on her way…"
