Chapter 7
Once we finish breakfast it is time to say goodbye. I picked up Amari for one last time as we walked to the entrance. He clung to me but didn't cry. When we reach the front entrance I hand Amari to one of the men who took him. “ Keep him safe” I say and one of the men nods.
As they leave Amari keeps waving at me and he doesn't stop till he is out of sight. I wave back until my arm gets sore. Tears threaten to spill over and the king places a hand on my shoulder. The queen pulls me into a hug and I smile.
While the king and prince head to a meeting while the queen and I head to my room to meet with a tailor. When we arrived I realized my room had become a tailor shop. Maids and servants rush about carrying spools of thread and bolts of fabric of every color of the rainbow. Tiny pixies were darting around in the air carrying needles and thimbles.
In the center of my humongous room stood a woman. They stood in the center of this madness directing the maids and servants like a pro. She wore an elaborate dress with slits in the back for her wings which were beautiful iridescence and clear.
As we walked in she turned around, rushing over to us, bowing to the queen and shaking my hand. “ This is rose which is short for Topaz” says the queen “ she will be coming up with your wardrobe”.
Pulling me further into the room Topaz begins to measure me spinning me left an right while her assistants drew sketches she went over them yessing and noding at all of the sketches. After an hour she began making the clothing. It was so cool watching her make all of the outfits.
Finally it was time to try one on. Topaz pulls a dress from my huge walk-in closet helping me slip into it.” this is one of the outfits you can wear when you have training or have to go on your quest” she said once i was in.
The outfit was comfortable. It had a long light brown tunic with a leather corset on top. On top of the tunic and corset was a green hood with long sleeves. There where long dark green trousers with knee high leather boots. There were even armored leather wrist braces.
We spent the rest of the afternoon having me try on outfits. My favorite outfit was the one with a beautiful cream skirt that had a green trim it had a orange shawl draped over it with a small fringe and net of crystals laid on top the the shawl. There was a cream top with large green puff sleeves and a brown leather corset.
All too soon it was time for dinner. The whole time the king just wants to play with my phone. Even the queen is interested in it, asking me a whole lot of questions like about how my phone worked and about my world.
When I started to talk about cars, Jasper and the king's eyes lit up like a bunch of little boys who got their first gaming console. They then started to ask questions about how planes flew and what made trains run.
We talked late into the night but the questions never stopped. Soon I began to yawn. The queen noticed and clapped her hands. “ Alright. It’s time for bed.” She announced rising from her chair. The king and prince whine but she remains firm
“ We have a long day tomorrow and Nia needs some sleep,” she says firmly. The prince and king know better than to argue with her. The queen comes over to me and gives me a big hug before she and the king return to their chambers leaving just me and Jasper in the dining room.
“ What did she mean by us having a long day tomorrow?” I ask, turning to Jasper. “ Tomorrow we will meet with the team. They will help you on your quests. I'll be part of the team too” he says. I nod. I just hope that everyone on the team will be nice.
After saying goodnight to Jasper I head to my room. Changing into the comfy pajamas that topaz made me, I slide into my huge fluffy bed. It seems odd now that Amari has gone home. Normally he would slip into bed next to me when he couldn't sleep.
Just as I was about to fall asleep I felt something on my leg. Pulling back the covers I see a small envelope. Opening it I see a piece of paper with a drawing on it. It was a picture of me and Amari. Amari had drawn it so I didn't get lonely. I set it on the bedside table. Crawling back in bed I curl up under my warm covers. Soon my eyes close and i fall into a deep comfortable sleep.
