Riley Volder

All right, we are now at Riley. This one will be a little different. It'll be from her perspective but talking instead. The good characters will have this treatment and the bad characters won't all right then.

this will be a fun one since Riley never really got a really good oracle because she's not supposed to be that good of a character I guess but somewhat I decided to give this Riley so she's pure good a really good oracle and a good memory and bad

too, but mostly good this would be about her and her mother OK?

running away

I was now for not four yes 45 now four years old mother says that we should run. Father is getting more ruthless. He has his air with Annelise. You're nothing to him. Let us run daughter where we run to. I will run to the merchants union for a time and then we run to I don't know, but we will hide in the merchants union for a little while daughter, I said we run and hide in the merchants union that'll be good I guess.

my mother Queen Olivia took my hand. Let us leave now Your father wants to kill us. Father saw us. Where are you? Think you're going Father said asking us. We're running away. Mother said you don't treat us. Well, we're leaving, but I permit you to leave Olivia no you didn't permit me to leave Janice, but we're running anyway I know you want to kill me and my daughter so we're going to run.

fine, I heard my father say to my mother after hitting her in the face run, but you know this world is evil. This land is evil people like you Olivia and Riley won't get what you want because you're good only evil people win good people lose you will die.

do you think that I heard Mother say do you think wherever you run you'll hide for me you think wherever you run you'll run from the first human and the first you think you can hide forever?

I'll take care of Riley unlike your mother said, picking me up and we ran.

We had our things we left and we ran, and we ran and ran and ran.

I was no longer a princess even though the positions were made to take the tattoo of my mother and our hands even after that then we ran away we ran and ran and ran no longer attached to the evil Orians we ran.

we ran into we found the merchants union and their Porsche was there to receive us.

Porsche

oh former Princess Riley and Queen, Olivia Porsche said as she greeted us come life and Blood Moon Haven with us we know it as we came in for shelter. Elise hugged us, Princess Riley, former Princess Riley. She was a little girl too like me, and there was a mirror and Hector and they hugged me to the princess for more princess welcome Meryl says Hector says yes princess welcome. I smiled at the two of them. Edgar also smiled and waved to us. You're safe here now princess he says no one's gonna hurt you here at least not for a long time. Can count on you to be my friends I said I need friends, you'll need as many friends as you'd like to need to say yes you are always welcome Princess Riley.

can you formal your Majesty Queen Olivia I left my guards. I didn't need them. Of course, you don't say Porsche. I have guards here in the union she says because of me being weak I have more guards. You'll be safe here for a while until I need to figure out where to run.

maybe one day we'll get a better life oh yes, one day maybe we'll get a better life. I heard legends of other Al and worlds. Oh yes, we should. We should make plans to see if they're real. If they are we will make plans to run there, they'll receive us they'll receive us, yes they will receive us and we will live there.

I'm at they'll receive us and will receive them as our own will drop their world as our own we have to survive. Yes, we'll have to survive.

I told them that I felt something was wrong with Alencia besides the evil verse mage, and the evil first human there was something else wrong with Alencia.

what is wrong Riley Porsha asked me. I feel something is wrong. Something is off. Everyone's ages are wrong except for mine and Annelise and everyone who's older but everyone who's gonna be younger. Those who've been born in the younger generation like I heard that Ash Reed was born. Oh yes, who was born five years before me, four years before me I should say he's not supposed to, but it happened. This is not what we are expecting. I remember the legends of negative Valencia where an evil woman named Lucy, was born, who is the same or not the same but the opposite of the positive Valencia hero Valencia Luther time who was born also the same time. Ours was born first this is not right, if I'm right if there are supposed to be others as born, they're not born yet, but I'm guessing they're supposed to be at the legends are right then then I should be born second, but he was born first.

I don't know why, but he was and a lot of the other young who were supposed to be in that age group were born first this is not right not right at all you're right daughter Olivia says are you OK? No Mother I said I hugged Mother. I think I think we'll be fine here though you can just figure out what it is. You need to figure out Riley I will. I think something is wrong with our timeline.

and there's no ally for us no one to tell us about this. Something is wrong with our world. I know it's wicked Sia. I know that much. I know this is wicked Alencia. But I feel like we should leave soon but not this soon. We should wait at least another few more years. Mother said as she held me my new friends hugged me too. I was happy that I had new friends to play with. It made Mother happy for Porsche too.

also, I feel like I need to help the Reed family. We will help them. Her mother says to me we will figure out how to save them.

I hope so mother.

and that is what we did we came up with a plan on trying to help the Reeds and other families that are trapped in those quarantine zones. We have to figure out how to help them and we will. I felt bad for the young Ash, who was older than I was, I was worried about him.

The new Timecrest I was worried about him I didn't like what he wanted. I can't help that, but I feel bad that he would have to be cursed. Well, Riley will help. I will help the best I can. mother and I will come up with a plan and Porsche too. even though she is weak, she will help.

we will make this an inside job will make this work. We'll get them out somehow. Someway I just have to go see him that's what I need to do. I need to go see him. That'll help out I think yes yes I will go and see him, but I'll have to sneak back in to sneak into the quarantine zones to see him.

and I'll make that plan I'll sit and make a plan I just need to think with my new friends I can do this. I know I can.

I don't need Marilyn and Hector in and Eggers's help on this and Elise can help me. I know they can. They're part of the resistance and that'll be good too.

Riley's plan

I sat down with my new friends and my mother and Porsche. We worked on a plan for how to sneak me into the quarantine zone. They just moved in not too long ago so all I need to do is just sneak up to the roof to see him that's all right simple enough it should be simple. I should sneak up to the roof and see him.

Easy easy Peezy I'll go to the next another couple of nights I'll go a couple nights away then I'll go I'll go and I'll see Ash. That's what I will do.

also, I should go and train him to fight every night. I should go and teach him to fight. I'll spar with him. Yes, that'll be my plan as well. I will teach him fighting techniques. He should know martial arts. Yes yes, he should.

and I'll take a necklace for him a necklace if I am for him to wear, I've gotten a lot of hard pieces from Muffies and things I can make a strand of beats if I am I think that'll be good too.

next time I go see him that's what I will do. I will take him not this time. The next time I go see him I will make him. I will take him a necklace of I rum.

all right, I think I got this and I have help. I'll have the twins and I'll have Anger help me with the necklace-making. It'll be something to protect Ashli a little. It'll keep him safe. Yes, I think it'll work.

that'll probably take a few more days, but I'm going not now but in a few days.

all right, I'm gonna go see Ash now when I do.

I will tell him my whole plan, but I'll tell him some of it I will tell him that I will not this time, but I will next time I go I will tell him about training him in martial arts.

and I'll talk to his parents too about training him to fight. I know Helen and Julius would not like that, but he needs to know how to defend himself if need be.

I know I'm young, but I can teach him. I had to learn to fight young because of my father so I can kick some butt the fucking teach him to fight and defend himself. That would be good for him.

Also, he needs to know magic I will teach him how to draw magic from at home. That'll be good for him too.

don't worry, Ash you will not be weak. You will be strong, even if you're weak-minded at least you'll be physically strong.

I already had my plan. I was ready to go not yet, but I needed to rest. It was good. It was good.

But I am a necklace

I laid out my pieces of iridium they across perfect and look great. That looks great that's enough. I laid out the different pieces as if I were in pieces. Plenty of pieces of the um it looks good. I got a lot of them from the Muffies thank you, friends. I said to the muffins they gave me pieces. I cleaned them off that looks good.

then I string them onto a string. Mother came and saw what I was doing that looks beautiful daughter thank you mother Portia thinks they're pretty too. Porsche looked at them. You've got a neck for this right Riley oh, thank you Porsche I didn't know you would give me that kind of a compliment I could sell these to Riley you could make these and sell them to really wow I didn't.

I didn't know I could make such beautiful jewelry out of Ilium. I don't know for how long I'll be able to sell them though. Porsha said I don't know, but if we could set you up a little shop, Riley, you can sell these for a while. I know it and Mother can help too. Yes, I would love to help you sell these, Olivia said Mother as she looked at me. I would love to help Riley and I think the other girls would want to Pitchin and Merrell would love to help you too. We would love to help Riley.

Great I love your girl's help I think this will be fun.

Riley shop

this was good. I started my little shop with my mother's help and the girls too. They pitched in and helped me the three of us got to run four of us got to run this little shop together. I was happy now I could sell my I really in pieces they'll sell well.

this was good for me. People came and bought my pieces. I said a few aside for Ash, though because even though he was a boy male, I needed him to wear them as protection with Porsches help and mother's help. I was able to make our things out of pieces of outfits made of iridium and other materials that we can get our hands on like muff wool and things, the more things the more I can sell this shop.

I know I won't be able to do this forever. I know that, but I want to get things done as much as possible.

and I will have enough money to buy a nice house somewhere else maybe in Ravenswood Porsche was thinking of moving out there if I can do this, I can build a shop like this there too for the time being Raven was a good town. It's one of the nicest towns here in all of Valencia Porsche said to Mother and me if you can get a nice house out there and a nice building out there. You can start another shop there and you could do better than here even me and I'm closing the merchants union anyway I won't be able to keep it up much longer. Anyway my funding is going, but I will bring Merrill Hector and Edgar with me.

Annelise oh yes yes of course and Elise I'll bring all of them with me very well. Olivia said we have a good little group here that'll be great.

I know a nice old man named Kane who lives out that way he's a drinker, but he's he's always no out there said Porsche if we can move out there and get us a nice house a decent enough house for me and my children and a house for you and Riley said to mother we could live a nice decent life at least.

That sounds good to me will do that.

all right, then we will move out there.

oh wait another couple of years we'll get enough gold to move out there and when we do, we'll start a new shop sounds great. What are you gonna do with the extra children? I don't know what Porsche said I don't have that many children here except for the ones I mentioned most of them are street urchins.

I heard three merchant children were free, urgent children running away from Windsor house well to at least one not so much but two of them who ran away a young boy and a young girl how old they're probably let's see 10 and 90 how sad well, we'll figure that out will take them too if we can find them.

probably by the time we leave, though, they'll be older if I can get them here to the merchants union they'll be safe and they could be in our group already said Porsche maybe you and Riley should go look for them that would be a good idea or less I think you could do this. I think Riley should do this mission soon. Maybe she should do that now I agreed I was gonna go see Ash, but I do this first.

All right, that's what I will do.

also made some healing tonics with my healing pedals. They turned out, so pretty that I added them to my really and other things to make it nice. It's gonna be really good. I even added some of the aura potions Porsche had plenty that I could use and I made a healing tonic that I could sell in my shop as well i'm not a healer, but I'll do well.

Mom said it would turn out well. She tried some just to see what it tasted like sweet Riley, but I think it needs some more things like what well we got the good base for the healing stuff, but we don't want to taste two flowery with your healing petals, we have some canned berries and other fruits. We can add we can make different fruit flavors. Oh, wonderful dragon, berry Canterberry any other fruits we have here in Valencia. just stay away from the apples we don't get apples here in the union but if we do not buy any from any vendors, they're evil of course we knew that the apples were evil. No one ate apples. No one because they were evil apples if you tasted them, you would become evil.

or they were poisonous, but I got all the fruits that were Linden-based that were still pretty decently good like Canterbury and dragon berries those were other wonderful fresh fruits.

OK Riley I said as I met, I mean, I'll add some of these fruits then thank you, Porsche. They'll sell well in your shop Riley and they'll sell well in Ravenswood too and I knew they would.

After work, we went to bed. Tomorrow was a big day. I was gonna go see Ash tomorrow too. It was gonna be a big hectic day.

I'm ending this story here. I hope you enjoy this one Riley I hope you like it is not what you expect for Riley's story but I think you enjoy it would if Riley was a purely good person and never let run away from Volder. I love it and her mother is alive so her mother will be a big character in this story too.

Riley is still the same with her powers and she's still the same with everything else. I just added her making real necklaces and other things in a shop that she's always wanted with her mother and I hope you like the way I've added Merrill Hector and Edgar into the story, being good friends with Riley, And that Riley is no longer a princess. She's just a girl now.

let me know what you think of Riley's story. Also, check out the chapters I have up for Ashes Origins as well. There's a Riley chapter that I think you'll enjoy.

I'll see you in the next story which will be
