Auror
I was restless, and for some reason, I went to see her. But seeing a young férnus, close to his first heat, revealing himself to her made rage course through my veins. Now we’re here, with her challenging me with a knife and a sharp gaze, but it’s her white hair, shining like the light of a shooting star, that paralyzes me.
"What’s going on here, Auror?" Black asks, as surprised as I am, with Kynai at his side.
"Stop invading my house!" She now points the knife at them.
"Arow, why the hell are you transformed?" Black asks, and my attention shifts to him.
"I wanted to see what it was like."
"The question wasn’t directed at you!" Black retorts angrily.
"Don’t yell at my companion!" I bellow, watching them take a step back.
"I thought it wouldn’t be a problem to show her, Father. We’re friends."
"She is the companion of our leader."
"The bond hasn’t been sealed yet."
"You sound like a whiny young férnus who won’t accept the laws revealed to him. You, young férnus, leave here," I command, and he lowers his head, unable to disobey me, his instincts won’t allow it.
"Arow." She tries to speak, but he doesn’t listen to her.
"Take him to the pyre, Black."
"What will you do with him?" She asks curiously.
"What a leader would do, I will correct him."
"No!"
She drops the knife to the floor and tries to follow Arow but is stopped by Black.
"Doctor, if you do that, you’ll only worsen Arow’s situation."
"You can’t hurt him!"
We stare at how her hair shines, exactly like an angelic's. Kynai doesn’t react and seems paralyzed.
"I didn’t know that... how is it possible?" He questions, and Black looks at him, surely he’ll find out later since he just arrived in Forty Mile.
"Well, since you’ve ruined my morning, hurt my friend, and made me extremely angry, now get out of my house!" She commands, and I see the two male férnus slightly shrink their shoulders.
The companion of a leader holds the same power over them as the leader himself, and even though I haven’t sealed our bond yet, I admit she is my destined one.
"Go!" That’s all I say, and soon we see the two disappear from our sight.
"Now it’s just you left."
"I’m not going anywhere, actually, yes, we are."
I pick her up in my arms, throwing her over my shoulder, and head towards the house on the hill. Anira needs to understand what even I would rather not be true; we don’t have much time, and Black is right when he says her life depends on her knowing.
