794 Words
A few minutes after queen Patrica left, three maids came in with accessories and items for a bathe. one was older in her mid fifties and the other two were young. The older woman had a smile on her face, Korra doubted if the smile was for her or if it was just of the thought of having a king as queen Patrica seemed elited about the idea.Well she didn't bother to read any meaning to it as everyone here see her as a lamb that needs to be sacrificed. The older woman turned to the girls and asked them to bring the guards so they could unshackle Korra. As they left, she sat down on the bed beside Korra and said " well, isn't the god's kind, my name is Luciana but you can call me ms Lucy or ma', what is your name? Korra was slightly taken aback by the woman's question because it seemed like she was the only one who cared enough to ask her her name even if she was going to be sacrificed and no one is going to hear about her anymore. she even told Korra her name and what she prefered to be called. question like ' what the woman's intentions were' were ringing in Korra's brain, she hopes this is all over and maybe, they can just realize that they made a mistake and let her go.
" ma'am there is clearly a mistake here, I don't have any powers, if you can just explain that to your queen" Korra said. " well child you see, you're indeed magical and you have some powers that no one in this country can contend, they need you to wake the crown prince from his coma, but you can decide if you want to do that or not. don't let anyone tell you it's your fate, it's your choice.
Korra was confused, she had many unanswered questions and one being " why this woman seem to be in her favour". Alot has happened in the past three days and she can't just trust a word anyone says now all she has to do is to try and free her self from this mad people before it gets too late. “ why does everyone think I'm magical" Korra asked. “ because you are" , ms Lucy said.
“ look there is a lot to be said, but trust me you'll get out of this. the girls will be back in any minute. I did not tell you anything, okay "
As Korra was about to speak again the door opened and the two ladies and two built guards came in, they were wearing uniforms like that of those that works in castles. Korra have only seen this type of clothing on tv. it's modern but it doesn't seem like what people will wear these days. come to think of it, she hadn't heard of a country called Leva before in her life. How far was she from home? At this point Korra was badly wishing this was all just a dream.
After the guards were done unshackling her, the maid then proceed to start tending the injuries around her wrists and legs and some other places in her body that was caused due to the way her abductors had rough handled her. Though the two ladies were gentle and mild but Korra couldn't help but notice the smug smile on their faces, the looked at her grudgingly like they knew her before or she had done something bad to them. she saw the hate emanating from their eyes and she doubt they were going to handle her this mild if the older woman wasn't here. when they were done with bathing and tending to her wounds, the older woman brought out a red dress she smiled and looked into Korra's eyes and said “ you know this dress matches your features” Korra was confused as to why she has to wear a dress, though it wasn't something elegant or expensive. it was rather simple and beautiful and she understood why the woman said the dress would match her features. She had a red hair and a deep green eyes, with freckles that sit upon her chin and the bridge of her nose like saw dust. most people said she has a unique look and only 1 percent of the world population has that look. Honestly she hasn't seen anyone that has her kind of features but that is also not an excuse to want to sacrifice her. she was adamant that this was all just a misunderstanding.
After they were done dressing her they left without a word and Korra just sat there thinking of their next step.
