Chapter 8
A/N: Thanks guys for the reviews! It really means a lot to me. I will try to update sooner and try to make the chapters longer. Thanks once again!
While all this is taking place, something else is happening a little bit north near the border of the District of Raychild and Grinber. It happens in a Flesher army camp where there has just been a battle from Master Rupert's men.
King Angelus is fuming as he stalks along the never ending rows of tents to his destination. He had battle plans to do and Seer Drusilla wanted to speak to him at once. They need to be prepared for another attack from the Mythians.
"What do you want Seer Drusilla? It better be good. I am a very busy man," he ordered to the raven haired woman in a midnight blue cloak and a violet gown. She was sitting on a stool playing with a rare porcelain doll from the Islands of Himmer.
"You mustn't bully Missy Drusilla. You are hurting Missy Edith's feelings. What is that Missy Edith?" she asked the doll pressing it up to her ear and nodded. "You are right. We must let it slide and tell him about the new visitor."
The king ran his fingers through his hair. This was going to take a while. He had no idea why she was like this, but she was ever since the Kingdom found her in her minute village.
"There is a new friend in here from the other side. She is going to slay things and change the world. An old friend will return and more will leave," she takes a stern look at him that makes him think that she still has her sanity. "You must find the key before they put it in the lock. The door will open your demise."
Before the tyrant could ask about what key, a sergeant came through the folds of the tent He told him that General Gunn had some ideas he needed to go over with him. Angelus took one look at the seer brushing her doll's hair and walked out. He will find out later.
Buffy sat in the courtyard thinking about what Rupert said over in her head. She was depressed about everything. She was depressed about Rupert. She was about the other victims. The biggest depressor was that there might not be a way out of The Wonders of Myth. The only true way out was if Ethan decided to come back and she highly doubts that that will happen.
"Are you all right?" a British sounding voice asked from her left. She found the source of the mystery man and saw that it was the guy from the barn. He was dressed in some strange looking causal clothes and leaning against a stone archway with a book in his hand.
Buffy nodded and surveyed the boy. He seemed kind enough so she began confessing. "I was just going over what Rupert told me," she explained. The guy walked over to her and sat on a bench next to her.
"It must be really hard finding all this out. I'm William by the way," William introduced giving his hand to her. Buffy took it and shook it like they were meeting in normal circumstances.
"It is, but I might get over the shock besides there might be a way out," Buffy chatted feeling very safe with William. He seemed to be actually listening to her not like that Parker guy at school. He looked everywhere but her eyes and seemed to be day dreaming instead of listening.
"If it makes you feel any better, the Guardians of the Key, that is the people who protect the Key at all cost, are going to begin their journey to Key Mountain in a couple of days. I am in it and so is Faith, which is the markswoman you met. Our seer, Cassie, said that you are going to be a slayer and I have heard that you might be coming too. I am just saying so you won't be too surprised if you are told," William chatted also. He likes her, but like before, he must think duty first even if she is really nice.
Buffy was really surprised at this but hid it. It was something she needed to talk to with Rupert. "What about the guy who is trying to get Ethan back?" she asked. He didn't say anything about that.
He shrugged his shoulders. "I am sorry. I have no idea." was his only respond. The gong sounded for supper and they left, but not without William asking about her name. She answered and followed him to the lavender colored banquet hall.
As she ate, she made a decision. Even if Rupert doesn't ask her about that journey, she is going to go with them. Her ticket out of here will come better if she is there to help make sure nothing goes wrong.
What do you think? Please review! I am open to opinions!
