The Unexpected Meeting.

To the blue caped Royal Guard, it was as if time stopped, because she couldn’t believe her eyes, her fighting the princess by this time of the night was absurd! immediately, she broke the ice on her hand with ease and bowed her head to the ground, Wren's eyes dilated at the way the huge royal guard in front of her broke the ice on her hand and legs, easily,

“My princess. Am so sorry for hitting you, I thought. He... She... I thought. You were a boy at first— have mercy my princess!!” She fretted as she emitted sweats all over her face.

Wren stumbled then sat on the floor with a sigh of relief as the ices around them dissolved to the ground,

“Woman, you are unyielding, I give you that,” Wren phrased. She stared at the sky, wondering why she heard peals of thunder twice in one night without the signs of rain, the royal guard slightly raised her eyes, knowing the pains and wounds she might have inflicted to her princess,

“My princess you might be bleeding, let me call the healers. Which one should I call, No. I will call them all at once my princess.” She said shivering, Wren chuckled then she exhaled.

“No. I will pass. I can heal myself,” she relieved with a smile on her face glancing at the woman, the royal guard seems confused.

Not until Wren, closed her eyes, raised her hands, glowing blue bubbles slowly came out from her hands as they floated around her body in sequence order, the royal guard eyes went up reflecting on her armour and illuminating the their area in blue as the bubbles bursted on Wren’s injuries, which healed her but Wren noticed her arms were not healed completely due to the woman's strong hit and the chattering of her bones in her hands, after seeing what the princess could do and the bruises on her hand not fully healed, she stood up immediately, torn the side of her blue cape, divided it into two, slowly walked up to Wren then she swallowed,

“My princess, can I?” she said in tautly tone, Wren raised her chin up to look at tall being overshadowing her front and nodded, the woman bowed then she knelt down, gently and slowly wrapping the pieces on her hands right to her elbow. After, she stood up, take many steps backwards and bowed herself to the floor. Wren sighed and stood up,

“Please come on, I forgave you a long time ago. Please be at ease.” Wren said calmly, the woman face brightened then she stood up,

“I am in your debt, my princess, am forever grateful.” She said in a tremulous tone. Wren went closer to her, raised her feet up and stretched her hand going for the royal guard's shoulder—she didn't actually touched her shoulder but her fingers at least touched her armoured collar bone area, the woman noticed then she immediately, kneeled with one kneel on the ground with a bowed head lowering Wren's hand and at long last resting on her shoulder.

“Wow you are too tall for a woman, and I love that.” She said with a smile, “I, Wren the bubbles princess… ”

“The bubbles princess?” the woman whispered, Wren blinked almost slumping her shoulders,

“Just. Just go with the flow,” Wren hinted, the woman nodded and looked straightened. Wren nodded back, “I declare… ” She leaned closer, “Your name?” she whispered,

“My princess as a Royal guard we don’t have a name,” She noted, Wren pursed her lips, thinking then she stared at the crescent shaped moon in the sky, her face brightened up,

“I declare, Luna, the strongest woman I have ever face in the entire kingdom.”

“But my princess, if I may say, you are still young and will definitely find a woman much more stronger than I am.” she said looking straightened, Wren pursed her lips again, sighed.

“Go with the flow Luna, please go with the flow.” She said, suddenly Luna stepped back bowed.

“Thank you my princess. Luna, I really love the name.” she said, the princess laughed.

“Okay. Okay Luna. Please can you escort me to the Entity night market,” she said smiling, Luna stood up immediately,

“But my princess, it is perilous for you, mostly dangerous and strange Humanes do all kind of weird businesses there, including the only market filled with other species from other Kingdoms.” The Royal guard cautioned.

“That is why I have you as my personal royal Guard, as from today.” Wren proclaimed.

“My princess… ” Luna said, Wren shook her head, Luna sighed and bowed, “As your personal royal Guard, I Luna, pledge my life to protect you no matter what.” Wren bowed her head back.

Few minutes later, Wren with her face covered entered the market with Luna behind her in her cloak also, Wren stared at the beauty of the market under the dark sky as crystals light illuminated from all the stores on both sides full of many colors.

Humanes using their potency, chanting and chattering about what they are selling and buying with the floor sparkling with various colors, she couldn’t believe her eyes. This was magical, “I bet there's a secret underground fight club, can't wait!” She amused, Luna leaned closer.

“My princess anything?” Luna asked,

“Nothing, just a word I say when am astound.” She answered scanning the market, Luna nodded and leaned backwards inspecting everyone and everything around. Suddenly, four Humanes of short stature ran to the other side of the market, they were being pursued by three Humanes, which only Lunar can see because of her height.

“You can’t escape from us!!” one of the three men yelled, gaining the attention of most Humanes around the area, Wren stretched her neck trying to see what was going on, Luna leaned closer,

“My princess you need leave here. Now.” she whispered,

“What is going on?” Wren asked, contemplating.

“Four Humanes of short stature are being pursued, my princess,” she whispered, Wren widened her eyes,

“Where?!” Wren asked,

“There,” she pointed at the men running towards the alley, Wren looked around while walking briskly, spotted them and dashed towards them, Luna was shocked,

“My princess!” she whispered and ran after her.

On getting there the four Humanes of short stature were already overshadowed by the three Humanes at the corner of the alley, cornered by the wall behind. Wren adjusted her hood more closer over her head, She coughed, the three Humanes bobbed their head towards Wren and Luna,

“Hey, stop what you are doing.” Wren said, gruffly, Luna leaned closer,

“My princess… ” she whispered, Wren raised her hand up, they turned around, to really see who'd stop them at the middle of their interrogation. Wren smiled.

"And, who are you?" the one at the middle asked, "If it is fight you want. Go fight someone your own size."

“You are not fighting me, you are fighting him,” she said pointing at Luna behind her,

“Me?” Luna whispered, the three men, scoffed, shook their heads.

“You think you can beat us, since you're this tall?... look at us, three against one.” The one at the left said, as rope like gently came out from his hand, the other raised his hand as beam rods illuminated from it, while the one at the middle rolled his shoulders, lunging forward two long lemon wings from his shoulder blade then he puffed out his chest and smiled.

"Don't just stand there, come get some."
