| 3 “Pu ekaW,” a hand pushed against Kira’s shoulder, shaking her a little. She grumbled and turned over in her sleep. “Pu ekaW!” The voice sounded agitated and Kira felt her hair being pulled. “Cdub!!!” She shouted in Tithen and struggled to sit up, realizing almost instantly that her wrists were still bond, though her feet were free. A wood nymph crouched over her, hair as green as leaves in spring spilling down one bark-like shoulder. “You know, staring is rude,” Kira yawned, trying to stifle it with her hands, which she found out were numb from lack of circulation. “I’m sorry,” the nymph started, looking rather agitated. “I’ve been trying to wake you up for almost twenty minutes. The master wants to see you after you have dressed and eaten.” She stood there, wringing her hands fretfully, “I daren’t make him angry…” Kira nodded, the nymph’s master did look like someone who would lose his temper easily. Her stomach grumbled, complaining about a lack of food. The nymph smiled a kind smile. “Well, it looks like you could do with a nice warm meal.” Her hands fluttered over Kira’s wrists. “Allow me to introduce myself, I am Willow.” Her accent was warm as cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven, spicey and sweet. “I will be your guide, and later on your mentor in my master’s castle. But enough talk for now, let’s get you bathed, dressed, and taken care of.” Kira smiled, Willow made her feel right at home, she looked down and her wrists and realized that they were unbound. She rubbed them, hoping the circulation would come back; she’d look funny trying to handle a fork with her elbows. She looked up, Willow had her back to her, rummaging through a drawer of the vanity, green hair reflecting in the mirror. She turned around, holding up one of the most beautiful dresses Kira had ever seen. It was a midnight blue no Glentithen tailor could ever be able to dream of. The cut was plain, but the sleeves billowed out as if they floated on the air. Kira’s eyes grew as round as saucers as she gingerly touched the fabric. It was as smooth as silk, and as soft as velvet.. “Do you like it?” Willow smiled widely, “I made it myself.” “It…it’s beautiful....” Kira sighed. Willow flashed a room-warming grin and gathered up some items; a towel, brush, comb, various bottles, and the dress. She opened the door to the corridor and beckoned Kira to follow. They passed many doors and corridors, Kira trying to memorize where everything was when Willow pointed them out like the kitchens and great hall. Soon they were in a small corridor, Willow walked up to a door that was painted a deep-sea blue and opened it, Kira following close behind her. Inside was a bath built in the ground as large as a lake. Blue waters lay tranquil, looking like a stone. Kira knelt down and touched the water lightly, gasping she stood up quickly. The water was as warm as blood. “Just pull the bell pull when you’re done,” Willow called as she walked out of the door, and Kira could hear the snap of a lock as it shut. She shivered involuntarily and started taking off her blood and mud stained clothes. Tossing them into a pile, she walked into the bath. Shuddering at the warmth, she ducked her head under. Reaching for the bottles, Kira stopped. The room’s walls were all mirrors; it was very disconcerting for Kira to see her naked self reflected so many times. Grabbing a bottle from beside the bath, she sank back in the water up to her neck and started rapidly rubbing the sweet-smelling substance in her hair. Kira didn’t want to stay in the bath too long, especially with all the mirrors in the room, so she hurriedly finished bathing and scrambled out of the warm water and wrapped herself in a large, fluffy towel. Once Kira had dried herself off, she put on the midnight blue dress. It felt like a second skin, clinging to her in all the right places and fitting perfectly. Picking up the brush, she started brushing her hair until it shone, sending sparks of gold in the air. Looking in the mirror, Kira scrutinized her appearance, then deeming herself worthy of going out in public again, she pulled the bell pull. Willow came almost immediately, smiling when she saw the dress on Kira. “It suits you well, my dear,” she stated and motioned for Kira to follow her, leaving the pile of clothes in the bath. When they reached the kitchens, Willow ushered Kira to a homely looking table and told her to sit down saying, “you just set yourself down there, my dear. I’ll go and wangle the head cook into making you some breakfast.” Soon a plate of steaming hot pancakes with syrup and bacon was set before Kira by a smiling Centaur. “Eat up honey,” he said, flashing teeth that would make a dentist jealous. Kira nodded and within minutes the delicious meal was gone. The head cook’s grin grew even wider and he offered seconds, but she declined, saying that she was quite full and that the food was spectacular. The head cook, whom Kira found out was called Cookie, bowed her and Willow out of the kitchens, promising to cook up some sugar cookies or something in his spare time. Kira smiled, waved, and followed Willow’s retreating back. Soon they were outside a magnificent gold and mahogany door with hinges as large as Kira’s head. “This is my master’s study,” Willow whispered in reverent tones. “I can only show you the door, you must open it and go in.” She smiled a nervous smile at Kira, “I’ll be here when you get out.” Kira reached out a trembling hand and took hold of the large doorknob. “Don’t you people ever learn to knock?!” A deep voice came from behind the door. “Well come in.” Kira stood stock still, terrified half to death. “Come in!” The voice shouted. Glancing back at Willow, who gave her an encouraging grin, Kira slowly opened the door and stepped quietly inside. |
