Chapter 6
Elena sat in the open carriage that was being pulled by two Ox, along with her was LIarm, Foloki, Timothée, and Gabe. Conner and Alexzander sat up at the front Alexander was trying to figure out where they were going on the map, while Conner was steering the carriage Elena had climbed up to the riders seat, sitting between the two men Conner slowly gave the reins to Elena, he wanted to relax for a bit they had been traveling for two days.
"Can't believe they stole our dragons..., by the time we had gotten to the spot where we left them, they were long gone..." Gabe speaks up sadden that they had to take the alternative route, "well at least we didn't bring Conner's main dragon along that would be interesting to see?" Foloki laughs when thinking about it, "thanks for remembering me that my dragon isn't stable..., but you okay Alexzander?, sense they have Fule now?" Conner leans behind Elena to rub Alexzander's back, "yeah I'm good..."
After saying this a hard gust of wind comes by and takes the map away, watching it get snatched up before flying away Alexzander groans, cupping his hands towards his face "Divines please spare me what did I do wrong?" Alexzander slumps forward, Elena looks to Conner worried that Alexzander is taking things hard, "you sure you're okay?"
"Oh yeah I'm fine not only did I have a emotional break down at the Tavern, I just meet my ex that I thought would leave me alone after we left, but to the fact that she's literally in the carriage with us!" Alexzander yells looking back at Kyra who was sitting in the very back facing everyone. Kyra huffed looking away at Alexzander not wanting to look at him, "now with my dragon gone how do you think I feel?" Alexzander crosses his arms, he was beyond upset Elena placed a hand on his upper arm, still holding the reins to the Ox's Elena try's to help Alexzander.
"It's not like you're the only one having a bad day?" Kyra huff when saying this.

"You idiots!" Cullen yells pointing towards Louis and Volance, "now that you fled how am I suppose to get the Royal Sword!, I was going to traded you for the scroll knowledge then later Mylene for the gem, and I can't do either of that because you left!" Cullen held his head in irritation.
"But how are you going to get the Royal Sword after that?, after they you know fix it?" Louis speaks up quietly not wanting to anger Cullen more, "...I am a warlock...how do you think I'm going to get it?, obviously by stealing it!, I can't fix the Royal Sword without them fixing it first, that was the whole point of this plan!, but all I got was some butt hurt man over some Civil War that happened 20 years ago!" Cullen starts to tower over the two men, his body changed and form into a demon like creature.
"I should kill both of you so I don't have look at you're stupidity" Cullen was about to attack till Youlen ran in the room, "Cullen!"
"What!"
"Oh geez Divines...your face...uhh...Mylene is uh..."
"Uhh?, what"
"Gone?"
"Gone as in she's really gone in like you didn't watch her like you were suppose to?"
"I didn't think she would have used the window to escape, cause you know being so up high and all?"
"GAAAAAAA!"

"Aaachhoo!" Mylene had sneezed then starts to wipe her nose, "man and I thought Valisia's weather is bad?, I have no clue where I'm even going..., I've been walking for almost three days now..." Mylene falls to her kneels in despair, "why must I do this to myself!, and that faun made good food to what ever his name was!"
"You alright there kiddo?"
"Huh?" Mylene turns around to see 90 year old man he had dark skin with a long beard, he could barley walk as he used a canes, he was carrying a large basket on his back Mylene stands up quickly so she could ask if he knows where to find a nearby town, "I don't know I never thought to find one?"
"Uhh...do you know anyone that can show me?" When Mylene had asked, a voice behind her called out to them Mylene looks back to see who it was, seeing it was a man that looked just like the one she's talking to waving at them, "hello over there!" The identical man smiles Mylene was starting to get confused.
"Welp I'll just ask your brother here?, any idea where I can I fined a town that can help me?" Mylene asked the other old man, "hehe I have no idea?, but maybe he can?" The old man points ahead of himself.
"I already asked him?" Mylene says but she saw the old man shake his head no.
Mylene then looks to her right as she followed the old man's twin finger...it was another twin, seeing that there was three of them now Mylene started to wonder if she was loosing her mind.
"Maybe I shouldn't have drank from that river that I found..." Mylene held her in disbelief this was starting to get crazy.
Mylene started to notice that she was in the middle while they gathered around her, "you mind helping us down the trail?, it's to steep for us and it takes us ages to get down if you mind helping us?"
"...alright I'll help..., come on" Mylene says as she kneels back down to help the three old men, "okay it's going t-o be one at a time..." Mylene sighs when she felt them all placed themselves on her back, "I should have been quicker on what I was going to say..." Mylene had lifted up she ended up falling towards the ground In a crumpling mess, "Divines what have you all been eating!?"
"Not much?"
"Not much?"
"Not much?"
"Not much?"
"Not much?"
Mylene looks back to see five of the older men all sitting on top of her, quickly realizing what was going Mylene jumps away holding a fighting stance, "okay old mansss? explain what's going on here and why is there so many of you?"
"Well the Divines asked me to help you~" the old man smiles, "I wanted to see if you would stop to help and you did, very noble of you~"
"Why do the Divines want me?, I thought the king or the prince were the ones that can-well Elena to, but she was chosen by the Divines to help with all this crazy stuff that's going on, did I do something to anger them?" Mylene points this not wanting to step into something, after all that what happened with the small Civil War she was in, knowing people are still upset with her on what she did here, she only wish that Uncle was here she heard about him risking everything, his life and his pride to stop everything that was wrong with the curse. The stories that Mylene's mother had told about him and her father, was something she thought was just a fairy table about stopping a massive war, her Uncle was someone she came to admire even tho she never knew him personally, at the same time it's not like she'll be like him.
Uncle was a man that knew the risk and he toke it, Mylene was sadden he was gone he would have been in his 30s while she was just a year old, her mother had told stories when Mylene was a baby Uncle loved her to no end, along with Ethel who remember everything that had happened, he only 6 at the time when they landed in Valisia after the purge, Ethel ran away never to be seen it worried the Hervianas seeing that such anger for such a small child. Would birth into something that no one else would want, and when he did come back at first Mylene thought he was a changed man, telling her that he went home asking for the Canesseians to see if they can allow us to come back. But when they gotten the go ahead they were limited on certain things to do, at first Ethel was okay with it till things started to get out of hand again, they couldn't even do their traditional water games, and they did it every year no matter where they were, they would find a body of water to play in it was a symbol of strength to them.
Ended up causing Ethel to get rid of his last hospitality causing a small war to break out, what Ethel didn't tell Mylene that he was going to do this anyways, says "no matter what we do they will always hate us!," and this was when she ended up stabbing Alexzander...
"Child are you okay?, I hope I didn't scare you to much?" The old man says as he taps Mylene on the foot, "what oh no just thinking I know the Divines go by Fate but I already did my destiny, and It didn't go to well so I'm going to step away from what ever they have in mind," Mylene smiles holding up her hands "after all I'm just a Royal Knight."
"Mylene you ran from Cullen you caused his plan to fumble without you, he can't get the gem that is why the Divines wanted me to give you something, to make sure you're not captured before getting to your friends again, you maybe a small part in this whole will of the fate but you must understand, that it can risk many lives around you" Jelani hands Mylene a white orb, it seeped down into the palm of her hand causing her whole body to glow.
"It's the power that I had use on you not long ago, I don't know why they wanted me to give you my powers, after all their not the life saving kind but I trust you can use it greatly, our time may have been short Mylene I wish the best of luck to you" Jelani smiles at Mylene as he watched her thank him, "thanks I'll-" Mylene was about to take off before Jelani yanked her back with his cane, "doesn't mean I'll just let you run off with out any training it takes time, your friends will be fine they know what to do after all, now let's us being."
—-—
Mylene had trained for around 5 days now she was sitting on the ground, with her legs crossed with her hands clasped, her face was sweating from concentrating hard causing Mylene to stop, she let go of her held breath Jelani then whacked her back to get sitting straight again, "patience" Jelani cracks an eye open to look at Mylene.
"I know it's just that I walked for 3 days an now being here for 5, and I'm kind of tired...with this whole training thing...," Mylene groans and falls back towards the ground, "it's never easy to learn some times you'll end up knowing everything, but it can only get you so far someone out in this world will be better then you, every which way or form" Jelani smiles down at Mylene.
"So how do I defeat them then?" Mylene asked, "by understanding them assuming that you can take them, with only cause you to mess up they will have tricks up their sleeves, just make sure you got a better one" Jelani stands up from the ground, "come we will work on how to use your multiplying abilities at the sea side," Mylene nods as she follows her new friend.
The two walked along the shore side Mylene had her hand behind her head, while the old man walked along side her "now Mylene I want you to use your powers, and get me that egg in that nest up there" Jelani points up at a nest that was sitting on a branch, "that?, easy peasy" Mylene smiles cracking her fingers to get herself ready, she jumps up on the rocky cliff side as she started to climb up towards the bird's nest, she stopped when a large shadow loomed over her.
"...I see what you did there Jelani..." Mylene says as she looks back at the old man who was laughing, Mylene was then attacked by the bird "aaaaa!, this why I don't keep birds!" Mylene screams it made her go off balance, quickly as she could she made a new pair of arms to grab the ledge, "haha!, Amir got nothing on this!" Mylene yells before her hands got pinched by the bird's beak.
"Oww!" Mylene lets go causing her to fall off the cliff side landing on the sand down below, Mylene was laying there arms and legs wide open, "it seems that Fate wants to mess with you" Jelani chuckles before he made another form of himself, "this power can be useful in many ways to grab more supplies, to have more man power or something that would consider inconvenience, but it's also a way of getting around~" Jelani makes more of himself, now there was 6 of him "but I must ask will it help me fulfill my destiny?"
"I don't really know how you want me to answer that?" Mylene flips around so she could look at Jelani, "what ever comes to mind."
"It's lackluster...it's cool an all just wish it had more mfff to it?" Mylene watched Jelani sit down, "not everything should be dazzling that's how you loose the sight of things, it will cause them to think I have this now there's no reason for me to go further then where I am, but if they do reach out pass their boundaries then they will see far more then dazzling, they will see stars an when they see stars suns will begin to show, destiny is something that has multiple Fates it doesn't matter who thinks it's better, or who thinks it's best to do things the right way, others have their own destiny show them yours and maybe they'll learn from it, and maybe their Fate will change..."
"Man for someone who lives here alone you know a lot of things?" Mylene says as she stands up, the old man opens his right eye while the other stays down "Like said the Divines know everything~" Jelani smiles big.
