77 Selena (1/2)

”Why is Selena sparring with Jenz if he's a mage?” Lucy asks, her brow furrowing. Grandmama rubs Lucy's head. ”She requested smelting training. She is a good bond-maid.” Grandmama says.

What the hell is smelting training? Lucy reaches for Grandmama's mind. Lucy gasps, her magic burning. Lucy holds her head, tearing up. It burned. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Grandmama taps Lucy's nose, the burn abruptly easing. ”Don't pry, Little Lucinda. A seer's shields are not a toy. You might hurt yourself if they don't recognize you”Grandmama says.

Lucy's lips part, eyes widening. She knew! Grandmama knows about my bane! Before Lucy can react, Selena andJenz leave the field. Selena was limping, her hair having escaped it's pinned braids, strands of hair sticking out everywhere.

Selena stops in front of Lucy, kneeling. ”Little Mistress” Selena breaths, blinking rapidly. Lucy nods, gaze on Selena's arm. ”You got hurt,” Lucy says.The red scar cut across Selena's forearm raggedly.Selena smiles. ”Just a training wound, Little Mistress. It didn't hurt at all”Selena says.

Lucy rolls her eyes. Oh, yeah. That huge cut was just a papercut. No pain at all. Selena's such a bad liar.

Lucy hugs Selena, careful not to squeeze too hard. Who knew what injuries hid beneath her dress. ”I missed you,” Lucy whispers. Selena wraps her arms around Lucy, standing, bringing Lucy to rest on her hip. ”I missed you, as well,Little Mistress,” Selena says swallowing.

Lucy digs in her Cosmos purse. ”I drew this for you,” Lucy says, shoving a leaf of papers at her. Selena stilled, as she flipped through the pictures. ”This is the Sight?” Selena asks. Her gaze was on the images of the Dark, and Light Tides, the images of floating dark, light, and air sparkles in the air.

Lucy shrugs. ”I see them. Aren't they pretty?” Lucy asks. In the Cosmos Maze, it was impossible not to see the magic in the air. It was so dense and shiny, that they screamed their existence.

It was so strange. Even this training field, Lucy had to focus to see the sparkles.

”Clean up, then introduce Little Lucinda to her new clan sisters,” Grandmama says. ”I have to met Minister Dora about mounts for his heirs. Remember to lead Little Lucinda in meditating every morning and evening,” Grandmama reminds Selena and pats Lucy's head as she walks away.

Lucy blinks, looking up at Selena. ”Clan sisters?” Lucy asks. Selena smiles. ”Yes.Sir Jenz's maternal family fled unrest in the Natia plains, and have joined the Rimes clan. There are several new young misses for you to play with.” Selena says. ”Once I clean up, I shall take you to see them.”

Lucy nods, yawning as Selena carried her to a secluded cottage. After cleaning up, Selena carries Lucy back to the central area. Three little girls wearing pink veils, and fawn dresses were playing catch.They looked to be 4-5 years old.Selena stops a foot away from them. ”Young misses, this is Young Miss Lucinda, your clan sister,” Selena says.

The little girl with blue eyes tilts her head. ”She's the sick one? Can she Pix? That always makes me feel better when I get sick” Selena smiles, setting Lucy on her feet. ”No, Young Miss Willow, Little Mistress is a human. She can't fly until she becomes a Mage” Selena explains.

”Oh” Willow's forehead wrinkles ”How does she catch whispers though. I thought Seers caught whispers on the wind?” Willow asks. The girl to Willow's right scoffs. ”Don't be stupid, Wilo. Magic tells them. Not the wind” The girl who spoke had tawny eyes. ”I'm Violet, Do you want to play catch?” Violet asks Lucy. Lucy smiles. ”Yes, I would”

”Wow, Lucy!You can talk! My brother is your size,I never know what he says,” The third little girl says, her wide smile revealing crooked teeth.
