It had been a long and hard journey to the Northern borders of her fatherâs kingdom. The weather had been dark and dismal; foreshadowing the take over of peaceful Elys. Rain continuously beat on her form and frigid wind felt as if it blew right through her. What little magic she was able to learn did not protect her fully from the conditions and she had needed to take many breaks. There had also been perils to deal with. When it was not raining or blistery cold, monsters were out, and on more than one occasion the beautiful young woman had to run for her life. There were also bandits that attempted to steal from her and packs of wild animals and other things. The princess had been naïve and had only brought a bow, some arrows, and a dirk to defend herself.
As the days passed she saw more and more of the warlordâs men. Their armor was rustic at best and they carried large weapons. Some towns had even been taken over. Word of them had not reached her by the time she left. No doubt her poor father was now in more mental anguish and that only drove her on further. The more she saw her people suffer, the angrier she became. More and more villages were attacked, attacked, ransacked, and claimed for the enemy. The more she traveled the more she wanted to kill the bastard that had done this to her homeland.
Finally she had made it to the enemy enclosure. The city closest to the edges of the boundary was completely and utterly annihilated, only leaving a few buildings to house troops in tact. A makeshift fence was built out of rough metals and hacked wood. Guards were posted at the front of the poorly made gate, letting people in who had animals and other goods. Madgala circled around the fence, letting down her hood so she could examine it. Thick strawberry blonde curls sprang out from beneath it and pale violet eyes examined the build. She was completely and utterly perplexed. This was the first time she had to do something like this.
Two hands clamped roughly around her shoulders. She let out a gasp. One of the guards had grasped her and spun her around. Magdala bit her lip. This was not what was supposed to happen. Damn it!
âWhat are you doing?â he barked a question at her.
âI-I was s-sent for,â she lied quickly. âUm⦠I⦠Iâ¦â Damn it! She could not string two words together! The guard gave her a look. It was quite clear that he did not believe what she said. Magdala had never been that good of a liar. Though he let go of her and shook his head.
âYou were sent for? Ah-ha. For what purpose, may I ask?â
âUm, the commander wanted to see me. I am here to um⦠offer my soothsaying abilities to his cause.â
After a few more exchanged words she got the guard to actually yield. A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she was lead personally through the encampment once town. It was the mayorâs mansion she was taken to. The walls crawled upward, going for three stories. There was also a basement in the bottom that, little did she know, had been converted into a makeshift dungeon. He lead her into the huge dining room. It had been converted into a makeshift throne room. This must have been where that bastard was.
