Tainted Hope

|Curiosity|

Mika's Pov:

"We will give you information.. about the whereabouts of the clans, think of it as a form of a map. All we ask is to stay here for a bit, no other clan would expect us to be here."
The man hummed as he ran his fingers through his hair while the other hand was placed on his side near his sword. I watched sitting on a tree branch as the man's violet eyes looked up and scanned around. They landed on me as I watched in curiosity, he had black horns pocking out from his hair, in which were slightly curved. His eyes then returned to our Queen as he said, "Fine." With that they shook hands and sealed the deal. The few demons he came with lightly bowed and walked off with him. I watched each of them as they later summoned wings, the huge black feathers beating roughly as they flung into the sky.

Krul then turned around and raised an arm as she said, "Settle in!" The angels cheered and began to do so. She looked amongst them until her red eyes landed on me who gave her a smile. She then made a sign and I jumped down running over to her. She then said, "Come with me" I nodded and walked beside her as we walked to a cave where the angels had already been preparing for her stay. Her throne was already there and so she sat in it calling over a servant to bring her a smaller chair. They placed it in front of her in which I took my seat on, she crossed her legs and watched mine until I mimicked her action. Only then did she nod in approval. The servants made some fires inside to light the cave up and managed to have a small fire place. I hummed over the warmth that was being created. She then said, "Mikaela, I know you are a responsible one, and I'm highly aware that you're sly" I nodded waiting for her to continue, "So I expect you to behave.." She looked round and once all the servants were gone did she proceed, "I'll allow you to go to the waterfall near here, but not past the forest" I smiled and asked, "Can I take Shinoa and Mitsuba?" She nodded and said, "Yes but do remember that it's close to the demons. So if you ever need anything, you know how to call us" I nodded and asked, "Why are we staying here again?" She sighed as she caressed my face, "Because we got in a disagreement with the other progenitors, remember?" I nodded and said, "Why would they assume we're not here?" She hummed and said, "Because before us.. some angels came here and with the demons then.. they had a war and it was a complete bloodshed." My eyed widened as she said, "Coming here was risky so I made sure the clans weren't near just in case it went wrong. Now we wait until I say we can leave" I nodded and sighed as I said, "I miss the lake though" She nodded and said, "You have the waterfall here to make up for it" I nodded and got up dusting my clothes. She then said, "Oh, about your clothes. Fall is nearing and I need you to wear the appropriate attire" I tilted my head as she said, "It's kinda similar.."

She got up and led me to one of the boxes she had. She pulled the clothes out in which were neatly enveloped in a white soft cloak where a note laid atop saying 'Mika's.' I grabbed it and saw the pants were now a dark grey instead of white. I changed near the fire place as she handed me the order my clothing went in. After the grey jeans went my white button up shirt. Then went a few straps on my thigh, then the two belts that made an x like design near my waist. Then she gave me black smooth boots in which were knee high. Lastly the black jacket and white gloves. I hummed as I stared at myself in the reflection of one of the large crystals Krul had. She nodded and said, "That looks good on you.. yeah." I smiled and said, "May I be excused?" She nodded and said, "Careful now, we don't want my precious pawn to get harmed"

I ignored the last part as I ran outside looking for my friends. "Ne Mika!" I turned to my left to see Akane. She was my little sister, being the age of 11. I'm 12 so one year wasn't so much. "Oh Akane!" She smiled and asked me, "Where ya headed to?" I smiled and whispered, "The waterfall" Her eyes grew wide as she said, "B-But no one is going over there!" "That's why Kr-Queen has given me permission!" I laughed as she shook her head and shuddered as she said, "Well.. I wouldn't go there! That's just closer to the demons" She made a disgusted face as she said, "Bleh, they only want chaos so do be careful" I shrugged as I said, "I wanna see the waterfall, you're not up for it?" I asked but she shook her head as she said, "Nope! Plus I have to take care of the little ones" I nodded remembering the little kids she chose to take care of" I walked off waving goodbye to her. I continued my quest to find my friends but stopped seeing they found me instead. Shinoa had been flying seeing she landed form above. She yelled, "Mika!" I turned to see Mitsuba wasn't too far behind.
