Slowly making our way up the stairs, limping step by step, "So .... How long was you and Paul together?..." Aunt May asked me.
My jaw dropped and eyes widened looking at her in shock, "..." totally speechless.
"Call it a woman's intuition, don't worry I won't tell Daisy." She smiled.
I let out a large sigh... "We've known each other for around 15 years..... We were great friends at one time, I had some family issues we were working past that. But then suddenly and abruptly he ended it, we tried to remain friends until he vanished from the face of the earth, which is when I assume he arrived here." I answered her.
"Wait so you both are not from here?....." Aunt May replied taking extra care at the top of the stairs. "My room is at the end of the hallway, I'll get a bath ready for you" she smiled.
"Nah we from another plane sadly, and Magic is total new to me, I don't know anything." I answered.
"Ohh I see….. You and him have a pretty complicated relationship..." she said as we slowly made our way down the hallway passing numeral doors on both sides, until we reached the last door at the end of the hallway. Aunt May left me leaning on wall and pulled out a small key to open the door. Helping me again we made our way into a very lavish room, there was a large bed, furniture beautifully decorated with etched patterns. "This way darling" as she led me to the bed helping me sit down.
"One moment...." she said walking outside for few minutes and remerged with a stack of towels and a plain white old fashioned style dress. "I'll prep the bath for you, just sit tight." She smiled entering into another room.
"You know it's quite a dangerous out there, outside the safety of the guards and cities.... " Aunt May shouted from the other room.
"Yeah I know.... just that Calista she really pissed me off." I shouted replying to her
"I know people like her only see use commoners as locusts." she said exiting the bathroom.
"That's so horrible" I replied.
"Yeah I know.... but nothing we can do.... just so you know she's apparently quite talented for a new wizard." Aunt May informed me.
"And worse yet she seems to have a vendetta against me." I replied.
"I absolutely detest bullying but I'd advise you to just stick around friends she, will then be less likely to pick on you." Aunt May advised me.
"Yeah I'll try to...." I agreed.
"Besides I'm pretty sure my Daisy can mash her to a pulp if she ever tried anything in front of her "Aunt May smiled.
"By the way..... How are you human and Daisy a Tiefling is she Half human as well?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Ohhhhh...sadly I think it's up to Daisy if she wants to tell you about her past." She said politely to me.
"Ohhh okay.... I'm sorry....." I apologized
"Nothing to be sorry about" she smiled.
"The bath should be ready by now.... feel free to use anything you want in there as well." She smiled. Helping me up towards the bathroom and bringing in the towels and the change of clothes. "I'll need to head back to the bar so I'll be down stairs just come down when you're done, okay?" She said smiling.
"Okay.... sorry for all the inconvenience....." I apologized as I nodded hesitantly replying.
"Don't be silly, you're family now" she said patting my head, exiting and closing the door behind her.
The bathroom was pleasantly hot and steamy, I began the painful and slow process of undressing myself. Looking myself in a nearby mirror, I got hurt pretty bad, a large dark black bruise streaked across my lower back, cuts and scratches littered my body and a small open wound on the corner of my lip.
Slowly sinking into the bath it stung like hell, the hot water washing across my open wounds, I forced myself to just lay in the bath tub sucking in the pain. 'I need to get stronger!' Eventually the pain diminished to bearable level allowing me to begin cleaning myself, using a nearby sponge I began washing myself, taking extra care at spots where still had some open wounds. Thoroughly washing off all the dirt, dust and small bits of debris off myself, I submerged my head into the water to wet my hair, using a jug from a nearby shelf I began to rinse and clean out my hair.
Spending some more time relaxing a little, soaking in the hot relaxing atmosphere, closing my eyes letting my brain fade away... I was suddenly interrupt with loud thumps on the door. "Emilia you okay in there?" I heard Daisy yell from the other side of the door.
"Yeah I'm okay¸ why?" I shouted back.
"…. It's been about 30 mins and we haven't heard a word from you, and we should be making a move on soon…." Daisy replied.
"FUCK! I must have dosed off!" I shouted, leaping out the bath quickly drying myself and my hair, hissing as I forgot to take extra care on my open wounds. Quickly slipping on my clothes, the dress was extremely modest, sleeves going down to my wrists, the bottom of the dress reaching my ankles and the top reaching my neckline. "I'm coming." I shouted to Daisy from the door exiting the bathroom quickly causing me to stumble as I was painfully reminded that I still have a sprained ankle.
"Slow down…." Daisy said as she positioned to catch me.
"I'm sooo Sorry let's get going." I said in a panic to Daisy.
Daisy giggled a little, "It's alright we have plenty of time." As she pat my back.
Suddenly my ankle felt could hold the weight of my body and everything ached a little less. "Sorry I'm still a cleric in training so that's all I can do for now" she smiled at me.
"Ohhh wow! Your magic so amazing!....Thank you!" I said with a giant smile hugging her.
"Alright now you're healed slightly let's start making a move, everyone will be happy to see you doing better" she smiled as we left the room together.
Walking down the stairs I saw Jay and Aunt May and Ben at the bottom ready to greet me at the bottom of the stairs.
"Feeling better? You defiantly look better" Jay said with a smile.
Aunt May and Ben gave me a giant hug, "Make sure you visit often okay?" Aunt May said to me.
"I've also packed a lot of foods and drinks for you as well." Ben said pointing at 2 large backpacks similar to one Jay has on his back.
"Thank you so much!" I said as small tears of joy began to well up in my eyes.
"Now make sure you take care of each other!" Aunt May instructed us, "You're all family now!" she added.
"Okay we'll get going now." Daisy said with a smile. "Love you Aunt May and Uncle Ben!" she said giving them both a big hug.
"We love you too." They both replied.
"And you Jay, I expect to see you as well!" Aunt May pointed to him with a stern face.
He smiled back and nodded with agreement and began leading the way out. With Daisy following close behind, I turned back to smile exiting the tavern.
Outside the tavern we all turned to each other, "So the Wand shop next?" Jay asked.
"Ohhh I forgot here's you wand Emilia." Daisy said whipping it out of her bag retuning my wand to me.
"...…." Jay looked at it eyes wide mouth gaping open absolutely speechless.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
