Chapter 4

(What you're wearing just for reference, change it in your mind if you'd like)

I wasn't wearing my shoes though, someone must have taken them off of me whenever I got here. "The Emperor demands your presence immediately." The Golden Guard said, his voice was ice cold. "I'm not leaving this room unless something's given to me so I can cover up." I replied. I matched his energy and it seemed to bother him. "Did you not understand what I said the first time? The Emperor demands your presence-" I cut him off "Don't be such a jerk, if anything you're the one who can't understand a thing, I just want to cover up!" I blew up at him, he stood there quietly for a good second with his fists clenched. "I'm not a jerk." He sounded pissed. "Then stop acting like one just because you work for the Emperor." I seen his fists get tighter, it looks like I hit a nerve. He grabbed the door and slammed it shut. 'Why'd he just leave?'

I got up from the bed slowly and fell to my knees, my body's either weak or still waking up. I rubbed my head, it was pounding. I look over at the table that's next to the bed and it had some potions on it. I look through them and I think they're odd. I found one for exactly what I needed, my head ache. All of the potions here match basically everything I'm feeling. Burning up, headaches, body aches, weakness, hallucinations, and so on. I drink the potion for my headache and it goes away, I felt so relieved. I also drank some for weakness, I needed to regain a little strength at the very least. I sat there on the floor with my back against the bedside table. 'what have I gotten myself into?' As I draw a spell circle in the air to make my shoes walk to me, the door opens again. It's Goldie. "What do you want now?" I ask as he watches me do my little magic act. "I brought you a shirt, it may be a bit big but it works." He came over to me and handed me the shirt. I took it carefully and stared at him. "Now, what are you doing?" How he spoke was a bit standoffish, but it was more relaxed and soft in a way. "Although I'm one of the strongest witches in the Boiling Isles, it turns out I'm not the strongest fighting against sickness. I'm weak right now and didn't want to get up to grab my shoes." They made their way to me and I grab them, putting them on at my own pace. I put the shirt on over mine, it's big but just like he said, it works. "Thank you for the shirt, I don't want to, but I'll see the Emperor now." I stand up slowly and stretched, "Don't expect us to get there quickly though, I'm not walking fast."

He nodded his head and we left the room, just like I said, we weren't going to get there quickly. We walked at my pace. "Why did you want something to cover up with? What you were wearing was fine.." He asked quietly. "Well Goldie, if you need to know-" "Don't call me that." "I'll call you what I want. Anyways, most coven scouts that I've interacted with don't treat me pleasantly if I'm caught wearing something revealing. I'd rather be dead than have that happen again, especially in the Emperor's Castle itself." We came just a hallway away from the Emperor's throne room. "I didn't know scouts were acting in such a manner, I apologize. I'll make sure that issue is fixed." He said to me, he sounded gentle but it also sounded cold, like he was upset. "You're a kid though right? You shouldn't be the one who has to fix that kind of issue. You shouldn't be working for the Emperor, you should be living your life." He sighed, "It's complicated, besides I enjoy serving the Emperor-" "If you're gonna say that at least make it sound like you aren't lying." He became tense. We had gotten to the door where the Emperor is, he opened it and walked inside, I followed.

He got down on one knee, bowing. "Emperor Belos, I'm sorry it took so long, she had a hard time keeping herself up due to her sickness." Belos stared at me, "Wait outside for us." He said to the Golden Guard. Goldie got up, he looked at me as he walked out. "If you're looking at me because I didn't bow, don't expect me to." I said to Belos boldly. "Hello Y/N, you should watch your tongue. Do you know why you're here?" He replied, his voice just sounds as evil as he looks. "Because I'm cool?" I snorted a bit, I find myself way too funny. "You're here because when you were taken into custody, you seemed to be terribly ill. Normally you'd be petrified anyways, no matter your condition. But, you seemed to be terribly sick over a common cold. Isn't that peculiar?" I felt more tense. "I'm not used to being sick, what's there to it?" "Oh miss Bluebell... There's a lot to it."
