Chapter 13

The king went back to the meeting room to escort the guest out of the castle. He said he wanted to get started in the paperwork to go to Razael as fast as he could.

Ezra and Xavier went with him as bodyguards since Leo wanted to show me around the castle.

He said that if I knew where the basic things were like the front gate, it would make his job much easier. Whatever that meant.

We walked around the castle when we heard someone yelling "Hey! Hey!"

We turned around and saw a mass of red hair running towards us.

"Oh, hey Leah" Leo said

Leah looked between us and asked "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the king?"

Leo stayed silent. Did he want me to answer? Did he think I would be able to lie? Ruthless…

After he knew I wouldn't say anything he said "The king has asked me to guard Niko"

A lightbulb went off behind her midnight eyes and she stared at my arms.

"I thought someone said that her arm got sliced off. Guess that was a rumor. I heard what happened in the king's meeting. Is everything alright?" She asked me

I nodded and Leo told her what happened. He did leave out the fact that my hand was chopped off.

"Well, I need to go. The captain is in a mood after what happened." She rolled her eyes and waved goodbye. With that she left.

We went back to walking when Leo started talking to me.

"You don't talk much, do you?"

I shook my head. Again with this?

"Why not?"

*I have no control over my voice. A single word and I could have an entire army or a pile of corpses*

He rubbed his head "I've heard about the telepathy but it feels weird when you actually do it."

Well, excuse me for wanting to talk for once.

"Anyways, how come you ended up in the river. I know you said that people from your group killed your master and threw you away but what was it that made them do it?"

*My master wanted to bring the two worlds together. Some people didn't want that and my masters death was the result of that hate*

"Oh, I'm sorry for bringing it up"

*Not a problem. I've had multiple masters die even before Madelyn.*

"Madelyn? Your master's name?"

I nodded

"What do you mean by 'multiple'. You don't look older than twenty"

*This isn't my original body. I had a robotic body that would last for thousands of centuries if not forever*

"That's...a long time. How old are you?"

"In this body? Twenty. In my robotic? Five hundred. Still young.*

He didn't say anything after that. We continued my tour and we eventually made it to my room. He left me there to get some rest but said that he would stay close.

Finally, the moment had come. I ripped the dress right off and washed myself in the bathroom inside the room. After that, I went to the bed.

I layed down. I wanted to stay standing but these legs couldn't take it anymore. And with that, goodnight!

The Next Morning

And good morning! It's a new day and I already wanted to go back to bed. Seriously, who knew the human body needed so much rest?

I had been woken up by Ezra this time and let me tell you. He does not joke around when it comes to waking up. He would yell at me when I woke up only to pass out half way out of bed.

"If you're going to wake up, then wake up correctly!" Or something like that.

Anyways, not much has happened. It was the same as always. Get up, go to work, go to sleep, and repeat. It was getting really boring. Until the towns people started worshipping me.

Hehe...about that...funny story...
