Chapter Two
-1st POV-
My senses returned to me and I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the boy who saved me from the coffin. I weakly smiled up at him, he just scowled.
"Thank you" I whispered; my throat hurt so much but I didn't know why.
He scoffed and walked off, "Gloxinia heal her, she sounds awful"
I frowned, not knowing why my chest hurt at his words, and watched as a giant flower grew and a dew drop hit my chest. The pain faded into soreness than nothing. I sat up and looked around.
There were five other creatures, other than the boy and winged girl. We were in a strange-looking tree with red-orange leaves and grey bark. A broken-down building was next to the tree and the lights of a village were about a mile away. Hills could be seen from miles away and forests were close by.
I shifted my gaze to the creatures. The tallest had blue skin and a cloth covering its head, it had four arms and were bulky. The second largest had floppy white hair, blue eyes and tan skin. There was a dark purple blob with lots of faces next to him. Besides the blob there was 'Gloxinia', a butterfly-winged, pink-haired girl and the boy who saved me.
"What's your name?" the boy demanded.
I opened my mouth before closing it and looking down. I tried to remember my name but couldn't remember anything from before the coffin.
"Well" the boy demanded; his tone harsh.
"I-I" I shied away, my wings curling around me like a shield, "I don't know"
He took a threatening step towards me, "are you lying to me?"
I shrank away from his anger but looked him in the eyes, "I am not lying. I have no memory form before waking up in the coffin"
He seemed to consider my answer before responding.
"Then we shall call you Storm until further notice"
I nodded, my right wing twitching in nervousness as I stood up. I felt a slight pain on my wrist and looked down, a smaller version of the boy's symbol was etched into my skin.
My breathing halted as I stared at it. My mind told me it was important, but didn't tell me why. I closed my eyes in acceptance and moved my hand to my side.
The boy looked over to me and spoke, "it will be best if you know our names. This is Drole *giant blue guy* Comendment of Patience, Estarossa *floppy hair* Comendment of Love, Gloxinia *butterfly wings* Comendment of Repose, Grayroad *blob* Comendment of Pacifism. And I am Prince Zeldris, Comendment of Piety"
I dipped my head in respect, a soft smile gracing my lips.
'I will forever be by your side, My Prince'
