The Mercenary’s Shadow Ch.2

Lyra and Silva rushed into the room expecting to see me covered in blood or dying or both, but came to see an entirely different scene. “What is it? what happened?!” Silva demanded. I pointed to the mirror “Did some type of horrible beast or specter come through the mirror and scare you?” lyra questioned. “m-m-my……my face….it’s changed!” I yelled. Both of the girl slumped in disbelief. “OWWW!” I yelled as silva bit me on the leg.

“You…had…us…worried…sick…and…now…your…saying…you…screamed…because…of…the…way…you…LOOK?!” I flung her off my leg. “Yes!,” My new ‘look’ consisted of shockingly white, thorn like hair (which now gives reason to why thorn was one of the suggested names) and dark vivid purple colored eyes. “You guys fail to realize that this is not a normal look in….where I come from.” I stuttered slightly because I had forgotten that lyra was still in the room. “I told you already,” Silva growled slightly “,You had to be changed to look more like the surrounding villagers and commoners.” “But lyra doesn’t look like…like…this!” I cried “um excuse me,” lyra peeped looking confused “But if this is not what people normally look like ‘where you’re from’ then what do they look like?”

She had us there for a moment until I came up with a brilliant solution “That’s easy lyra, they looked like….,” I scrunched up my face like I was trying to remember my past and sighed. “I can’t remember, sorry lyra.” Lyra sighed as well “that’s ok, It’s not like you can force your memory back.” We all returned to the sick ward (I think that’s what it’s called, I dunno, I’ll ask lyra later.) and sat down on a bunk to discuss what to do next “Well first,” Lyra stated “If you’re going to be a warrior, you are going to need some equipment and supplies, I’ll take you guys down to the market to find what you need after you’re awakened.” “Thanks Lyra,I don’t know what we would do without your help.” I said gratefully.
