I woke up and I somehow was in bed The last thing I remember is fighting off Hagon "Arcene..." I looked down and saw Nathaniel Sleeping I ruffled his hair maybe I should draw on his face that would be funny I tried getting out of the bed but when I did he woke up, what a bummer "Good morning Arcene" "Good morning, did you know that you look cute when you sleep" "W-wha never mind that"
I never gave him my gift "Nathaniel" "Ya, what is it" "I'm sorry" "Why are you apologizing" Tears started to flow down my face "Because of me you weren't able to enjoy your Birthday, it's all my fault all I do Is cause trouble for people even in previous life no one wanted anything to do with me I was just someone who always caused trouble for everyone" "Arcene, it is not your fault, and what do you mean about your previous life"
He came close to my face and started to wipe the tears away "I can remember everything from my previous life, I was an only child, there was this guy who would always talked to me but I know the teachers made him talk to me, My mother abused me, my father left us when I was five and, and I got into an accident and I died but when I woke up again I was here born again in a new world with really nice and caring people, I don't deserve to be here I should have just died and never been born again"
"Arcene! you shouldn't say things like that you have every right to be here, I will protect you from now on, and I won't ever leave you I promise" I was so shock to hear that so I smiled "Thank you" I got out of the bed and walked to my drawer I got out the book and the bracelet "I know I'm late but happy birthday" when I gave the Items to him he was really happy.
"Out off all the presents I got this one is the best, thank you Arcene" "Your Welcome, Oh and look we have matching Bracelets"
I put on my bracelet and showed it to him "Wow we do ok it has been decided Arcene will you become my mate" "Wha you want me to become your mate" "Yes, I really like you and I want to be with you forever so will you be my mate"
This is the first time anyone asked me that"Yes, I would love to" "I'm sorry we cant make it official right now I don't have a ring I will get one soon" "Thats okay lets pinky swear" Our pinky locked with each other and he said "I pinky swear to get you a ring but for now we are bound by this promise and our bracelets" we let go and Mother came in "Arcene, I don't know why but you seem to always get into a lot of trouble"
"Sorry I made you cry" "Come on breakfast is ready" Nathaniel and I followed behind Mother and waited for her to serve the food We both sat down and ate "Miss. Les'tier you make the best potato soup" "Really thank you" we finished eating and went outside to practice sword we have to wait till Mom leaves the kitchen before practicing magic she will stop us and then she will have an eye on us all day.
"Sorry I made you cry" "Come on breakfast is ready" Nathaniel and I followed behind Mother and waited for her to serve the food We both sat down and ate "Miss. Les'tier you make the best potato soup" "Really thank you" we finished eating and went outside to practice sword we have to wait till Mom leaves the kitchen before practicing magic she will stop us and then she will have an eye on us all day. "Arcene It is getting a little late I have to get going" "Okay I will see you tomorrow" "Y-ya see you" He ran home and I was left alone, it is boring not doing anything maybe I should go to Nathaniels house, but what if mom won't let me leave the house maybe I should just not ask.
I started practicing fire magic by Imagining how a fire would look like and how hot it should be I was able to conquer up a small flame. It was not hot. Just warm, maybe I should start practicing making it hotter, now that would be my first objective.
"Arcene time for dinner" "Okay mom I'll be right there" I went inside and sat down at the table "Where did Nathaniel go?" "He went home" "Oh well, will he be here tomorrow" 'I...don't know"
I finished eating and went to my room "After the proposal Nath made, did he regret his decisions. No! I can't think that way Nathaniel will never do that" Okay think Arcene, If you want to become a mage with Nathaniel then you have to focus on surpassing him.
I started with the small flame in my hand "If I keep it like this maybe it will start to get hotter" I started thinking about dragons and volcanos I don't know why but I guess I thought It will help with making the flame hotter which surprisingly did It has already been four hours since I got the flame out and It was able to get Hot, If I keep this up I will be able to use actual fire magic.
*The Next Day*
Nathaniel is not here yet. Maybe He has something to do I guess I'm on my own today "Mom Can I go play outside" "Okay honey but don't go into the forest" "I won't, I promise"
I went outside and grabbed my wooden sword I started Practicing my swords Skill until it got dark, and Nathaniel never came over "Arcene come inside" "Okay papa" When I got inside there was this man Sitting next to momma When he looked at me I couldn't help but feel cautious about him, then I felt the presence of someone behind me, that someone jumped at me from behind and I kicked it and saw that It was a boy about my age he looked nothing like Nathaniel.
"Who are you!" "Your daughter gets straight to the point just like her father" "Father this girl looks nothing like her parents and I thought you said she knew nothing about fighting"
"Momma...he...he almost hurt me" I put on a teary face "Noah control your son are you trying to hurt Arcene" "That girl was the one who hurt me old lady" "My mommy is not old!" "What a weak girl" "Shut your stupid retarded mouth before I get my sword and shove it down your throat"
"Who are you calling retarded the only retarded person I see here is you!" "You must really want to die" "How could you kill me your weak and younger than me, the older ones are always more powerful!" "Age has no meaning in power, my father is younger than yours but he's stronger than your father!" "MY father is Stronger than your father! How would you know who's stronger!" "I can feel their spiritual power and right now my father has more than yours! Hmp" I turned around and walked to my room.
I woke up the next day the house was really quiet today, I went to the wash room, I brusher my teeth and washed my face then I walked down the stairs The man and boy who were here yesterday was on our couches sleeping I wasn't shocked by it at all.
I walked past them and went outside to the back of the house where there was a small storage shed It was locked so I crawled thought the small hole on the side of the storage room when I crawled inside and there where a lot of books in it When I looked closer there were spell books.
"Why do we have spell books? And in here of all places?" "Arcene are you out here!" I heard Papa call for me so I crawled out the shed and ran to the front of the house "Don't worry Papa I'm here" "Arcene you shouldn't be outside early in the Morning come on Back inside" I walked in the house.
"Arcene can you wake up our guest" "Okay father" sheas why do I have to wake these people up they are not even people they Look like foxes and I don't like foxes I never liked foxes, I cleared my throat and yelled "Wake up, there is a babbitt on the loose"
They got up and both said "Where!" I started laughing I was laughing so hard "My, my stomach It hurts....hahahahaha...I can't take it...hahahahaha.....I think, I'm gonna die...hahahahaha" "Are you done now" "aaah...Man that was hilarious, okay, I'm finished"
I walked away with a big smile on my face "Good Morning Arcene" "Good Morning Momma" "You look happy" "Yep I just had a great laugh" "Are you warming up to our guest" "No but they have a great sense of humor"
I went to my room and changed into something warm I went into the kitchen and the foxes where sitting at the table I know I can't judge I mean I'm a wolf we are both under the same species I can't stand him.
"Arcene, last night we couldn't properly introduce our guest to you, this man is Noah an old friend of mine and this is his son Mason" "Mason Interestedly stupid name, Nice to meet you" "You should apologize miss perky" "Apologize for what" "The way you woke us up this morning and for yesterday" "First of all I'm you started it second maybe if you weren't sleeping then you would have known there was no babbitt in the living room" "You shouldn't yell there is a babbitt on the loose that a disrespect to us foxes. What if we told you there was a fleer on the loose" "I don't eat fleers they don't taste right and they aren't around this part of the forest"
"Arcene are you home" I heard Nathaniel's voice outside the house "Nath your here!" I ran to the door and opened it, I pounced on Nath and gave him a big hug "Why weren't you here yesterday" "I was helping my sis out so I couldn't come by and play" "I'm so glad you came today I don't know what I would be able to do without you I can't stand another second with Mason in There" "Mason?" "Just some boy who came here yesterday"
I got off of Nathaniel and we both went inside "Oh Nathaniel why are you here so early in the morning" "I woke up really early so I came by" "He's a cat" I looked over to Mason who called that out, Nath said in an annoyed voice "Yes I'm a cat what about it" "Oh nothing I just never thought a dog and a cat would be friends"
I growled and glared at Mason "Arcene It's okay, he just doesn't have any friends so he is just jealous" "Jealous, I'm not jealous of a dog and a Cat my life is way better than weaklings like the both of you" "Mason! that's Enough don't disrespect them remember where here for allies not enemies"
What are they even talking about. "Mom I'm going to my room to play with Nath" "Take Mason with you" why do I, I don't even like him "How old is he" " I just turned six a last month" "So...old, I'm only three, my birthday is next month"
"Arcene! Are you crazy why did you tell him when your birthday is now he is going to want to come" "I don't mind as long as I get to learn spells then I'm okay" "Your dense, you can't fully learn magic at your age, I don't even think you can use spells" "Of course I know Spells, I could Even prove it to you" "Then Let's have a duel, the loser will be the winners slave" "Deal".
Babbitt---Big rabbits that bites everything in it’s way. Foxes don't mind their bitterness since Babbitt's have so much spiritual powers.
Fleer---Looks like deers but they are bigger and tougher, they have little spiritual power but they can boost your strength.
Our parent's were against us dueling at first but we where able to convinced themThey also tried to change the losers prize but we were able to win the negotiation.
"Arcene if you get badly hurt then I will jump in to save you." "Nath don't worry about me I'll be okay, when I'm done with him he will look like a burnt chicken nugget." "Chicken nugget?" "Don't worry about it, It's just a thing from my other life" I whispered the last part in his ear so no one will hear.
"Are you backing out now!" "No! I was just telling Nath something, that is none of your business." "You guys act like your Mates you know that?" Nath grabbed my hand "That's because we are, and if you try to kill Arcene then you will regret it!"
That was kind of embarrassing but I'm bit happy that Nathaniel cares about me. "H-how is that even allowed!? A cat and a dog I've never hear that before!" "stop talking and lets fight!" "..." we shocked hands and took a few steps back.
My father came up to us "Here are the rules, you can use any type of weapon, magic or moves but no killing each other, you may start." "Magic are for cowards and I'm not a coward." Mason said with a smirk on his face, that irritated me.
"Then just forfeit everything will be easy for me and I wouldn't have to be guilty for defeating someone older than me!" "How dare you disrespect me In my clan if you disrespect your elder than you have to face punishment."
He leaps of the ground and was almost able to lay a hit on me, before he could touch the ground I let out a big gush of wind which send him flying across the field and he hit the house, they went to see if he was okay "I cant believe a little wind knocked you out"
"W-who said I w-was down!" he gets up but this time there is more killing intend in his eyes "I'll make you pay for that!" he takes out a sword and start to attack me with it, I kept dodging until it barely hit my face leaving a cut "Arcene!" "I'm okay no need to worry Nathaniel."
I became serious and used Wind slash It grazed his arm I was careful not to cut his whole arm, He screamed in pain but I just thought it was best to ignored it. I might just ended felling sympathy for him. His father came up to me and slapped me that it send me falling on the ground.
"What do you think your doing are you trying to cut off his arm!?" even in this life they find ways to bring you down "Shut up, this isn't your fight aren't you guys suppose to be strong! Just because he feels pain it doesn't mean he has to cry about it. I don't think that you know, when I had to fight of Hagon I nearly died, did I sit there and cry? No I didn't because I know crying was useless and I also knew that If I tried harder enough then I could beat him!"
"This wasn't a fair fight and because it wasn't Mason automatically wins" "It was a Fair fight! Your son just didn't want to use magic even though he can! And right now he could even heal his wounds if he wanted to but this is one of you guys tricks thats what all foxes do they trick you just to get what they want!"
I got mad that I let out a huge magic energy. I heard Nath calling out to me and telling me to calm down. I looked over at him and slowly calming down when I completely calmed down mom and dad ran up to me, my mom hugged me tightly and father looked at me with a very worried look.
"I'm okay, Momma, Papa" "Momma should never have let you participate in this duel." she is being overprotective again how can I stop her for doing something dumb, Oh thats right."M-momma can I go back to my room, I k-kinda feel tired." "Okay...." papa picks me up and take's me to my room, he places me on the bed "Arcene you shouldn't use magic so recklessly you might hurt yourself, get some rest we will talk later." "..." he leaves the room.
I got out of bed and climbed out the window, I sat on the roof thinking about what happened today "Arcene? Where are you?" I slid down to my window "I'm right here." I jumped back in my room and hugged Nath.
"Hey..Arcene, do you regret what happened today?" "No, I just don't understand his father, has so much pride that he doesn't accept the fact that his son lost." "Well who would want their six year old son be the slave of a three year old." "I'm turning four in a month, so it doesn't count." I broke the hug and walked out the room "Come on Nath lets go practice." "Are you sure don't you need to rest!" "No, that was just an excuse..." "...Okay, but we have to get past everyone first."
We sneaked downstairs. Everyone was in the living room, my mother was healing up mason arm and my father was talking to mason father.
We sneaked in the dinning room and went to the door, I opened it and there was this man with golden hair blue eyes and panther ears and tails.
I snickered at the fact that he looked nothing like a panther "You rude child, how dare you snicker at me!" everyone looked at the us, I slammed the door closed.
"Open up! Peasants like you shouldn't close the door on royalty!" I opened the door and walked past the man, Nath followed behind me.
"Wait! Are you the one they call Arcene" I ignored him "Nath, can we go to your sister house, I'm kind of getting annoyed here" "Yea let's go" we walked to the trail that lead to the town.
"Hey, Don't ignore me!" I continue ignoring him, but for some reason he followed behind us, I grabbed Nath's hand and started running, we managed to somehow lose him.
We got to his sister house and I stayed there until the sunset "I'll be going home now, see you tomorrow" I ran in fours and got back home, but when I got there the Panther guy was still there inside my home talking to everyone, He looks over at me.
"Your finally back!" the panther man said in an excited tone "Why are you still here, it was obvious that I didn't want to talk to whoever you are." "My name is Kaito Takahashi, the first prince of the panther clan, I am here to take you as my wife." he gave me a bright smile it was almost blinding "How old are you?" "I am 15." "not interested..." I went to my room and fell asleep.
The next morning I decided not to pass from the stairs so I jumped out the window and went to Nath's sister house, I knocked on the door "Arcene what are you doing here?" "Is Nath at home?" "No he left about an hours ago." "I see, can I say here until it's for you to work?" "Yes come right in." she gave me breakfast and I eat, I found their stack o books and started reading them they were a lot of spell books, I would chant some of them in my head and it worked.
"Sis are you still here....Arcene! What are you doing here?" "Ah..um well you see..." I explained everything to him and he was a little shocked by it "Why does a 15 year old panther want to marry you!" "I don't know" "Come on lets go" "where are we going?" "To your house to explain to him that your mine."
My face turned red when I heard him say that. He dragged me all the way to my house, he opened the door and it seemed that everyone was panicking, I spoke loud enough so everyone can hear me "Why are you acting like I suddenly disappeared.....oh....wait I did disappear."
