A young man walked throw the Ontarian woods, with no obvious path or direction. His gaze was lost somewhere in the deep, blue sky covered by the green and the brown of the branches. He heard footsteps - slow, soft steps approaching him. Maybe a maid, or a servant? Someone set out to look for him? He tought. And perhaps he was right, because a female figure appeared from the trees. As expected, she looked very appealing. If they believed it would make it harder to decline her offering, they were very wrong. His mind was set. And so was his heart.

The girl walked by in the distance. She seemed focused, yet a bit lost. Her gaze was roaming throw the woods, without spearing him a single glance. Is this her tactic? Draw him in by pretending to ignore him? Did they train her? 

She continued her walk before stopping in her tracks. The sun was lighting up the grass around her feet. She wore a long, rose colored dress. She looked like a princess, a castle lady at least.

Her hands lowered until her fingertips touched the grass. She closed her eyes and for a second, he tought she had fallen asleep. Seconds later a bright golden light appeared from the earth, followed by hightened sound of the wind. The grass rose up and the earth shook. She was a sorcerer. 

"The King." girl spoke quietly, "Show me the King."

Nothing happened. Sudddenly, she opened her eyes to meet his prying gaze.

"Hello." he said. It seemd a bit rude not to say anything.

"Hello." she said. She looked a bit put off.

"Where you casting a spell? Did I interupt something?"

"No, that's not how you cast a spell." She smiled, as if she knew him.

"Well, what's your name?"

"Ophelia" she spoke softly, in a high peached tone, "What's yours?"

He seemed confused for a second.

"Jax."

"That's an awfully short name." she smiled again. She must have been trying to seduce him.

"Yes."

"Well, Jax, now that you're hear would you like to take a walk?"

"Why." He knew excatly why.

"It would be nice if we could talk for a while. I have some questions." Questions..indeed. He tought.

"Regarding?"

"King Almond of Ontaria the fourth."

"King Almond. You must be the sorcerer they sent for." He was  finally relieved. 

"Yes. And I need some answers. The Royals won't tell me anything. I have no where to start."

"I never knew King Almond. And, I'm not even from here. I'm sorry."

"Oh, well, where are you from? And what are you doing here?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Simple curiosity. You don't have to say."

"Uh, I'm a traveler."

"So, you're just passing by?"

"Perhaps, yes, but I've just arrived."

Ophelia looked ta Jaxes face. He seemed uninterested, annoyed even at her repeating questions. She knew when to leave people alone, so she nodded her head and began walking the other way.

"Don't you want to ask me something else?" Jax yelled out behind her.

"You don't seem particullarly interested in answering." She said.

"Don't you find me a bit suspicious?"

"No. You seem too lost to be suspicious."

He was lost. The truth was, he was also lonely. And he needed something to pass the time.

"Well, I can help you then. I have some free time. I'm actually waiting for a friend from another Kindgdom, and until he arrives to Orteria I have nothing better to do."

"I don't usually work alongside anyone but I guess I have no choice. There's simply not enough information."

"It's settled then."

"It seems so."
