Bound Through Time (Douxie x reader)

Dragon's Den

I walked up to each stall, pretending to inspect the goods

As they watched me inspect with one hand I used my magic to steal some fruit and place it in my pocket

I didn't notice the boy watching me do so with amusement

Once I had a few things for Magnus and me, I walked out of the market

I heard footsteps following and I looked behind me to see the young man from before

He was following me

I quickly raced into a crowd and lost him

I then rushed home and fed Magnus as we both relaxed in our new home

We stayed for weeks, stealing food, working here and there

I spotted the boy every once in a while but I always made sure he never saw me

One say however as I was wandering the streets I heard a voice

"Now then, now then! Gather around, milords and ladies! Test your luck with the Lad O' Fortune! Now, remember, keep your eye on the prize! Find the ball to win it all! Find the ball and win it-," I pushed through the crowd to see the boy I had been avoiding performing some trick with cups and a ball

"Hey!" Galahad said, interrupting the boy as he placed down a golden coin

My eyes widened as did the boys at the sight of it

"Oh, hello," The boy says

"I will give it a go!" Galahad says, tossing the coin to the boy

"Keep your eye on the cup," The boy said as he moved the cups around

I squinted my eyes at this, something didn't seem right

The boy stopped moving the cups and gestured to Galahad to pick one

"Easy pickin's, eh? Ha! Eh?" Galahad says as he chooses a cup only to see the ball was no longer under it

Galahad reaches to try another cup but the boy smacks his hand away

"Nah-ah-ah-ah. Please, your knightliness. Only one pick per play," He says

His eyes suddenly catch mine and his widen

I go to walk away when his cup moves, catching everyone's attention 

"What? Eh! Hmm...!" Galahad says, inspecting the cup

"Oh, no!" I hear someone shout and I watch in amazement as a dragon flies out of the cup

"Another wizard?" I whisper to myself

"Magic!" Galahad shouts, trying to grab the boy

"Gassus flotulous!" The boy shouts, casting a smoke spell in order to get away

I watch as the boy escapes behind a building

"Argh! Get him!" Galahad shouts as he and a few other knights go after the boy

I run behind them, watching from afar

The knights corner the boy and surround him, pointing their swords to keep him in place

"You may not know, but by order of the king, use of magic has been outlawed- under penalty of instant death," Galahad tells him

My gaze hardens at his
