88 A New Star (1/2)
Lexa awoke with bleary eyes, still tired from the chaotic events of last few days along with the general stress that comes with sitting in a carriage all day has to one's physique. As the blurry sights in front of her converge into recognition, Lexa is reminded that they had arrived at the Wilderwolf estate last night.
Remembering the shock she had at seeing Falcon City for the first time, Lexa let out a laugh. To put it simply, Falcon City was incomparable to the other cities she had seen so far; much larger and grander than both Evergale City and Skyview City combined. Large ivory walls shaped the city in a perfect circle, with grand and overbearing towers every ¼ mile. Thousands of houses, streets coloured in bold colours, large overarching buildings with intricate architecture and several workers working to keep the buildings well kept. This city could not be anything else but a capital city.
Lexa noticed that the walls didn't just encase the city, but there were also four extensions that cut into the city and met up at roughly the centre of Falcon City. These walls seemed to split the city four parts, which Andria had explained to her were the four quadrants of the city. The North was the noble's district, the West the Magician's district, the South the Civilian's district and the East the Trade district.
Fair to say, Lexa's group went straight to the Noble's district upon arrival into the city. It was there where they also split apart from the people of Crow Academy, which wasn't easy due to Andria's breakdown into tears. Lexa could only sigh helplessly at that memory. It took a large amount of coaxing from herself and Sandra to finally get her to stop while Jared stood by the side nervously tried to speak up but never did and Seph just stood by aloofly; however a trace of a smirk played on his lips and when it was time to leave, he waved Lexa and Andria goodbye with his two friends.
'Looks like she's already up.' Lexa's thought as she returned to the present, her eyes searching the bed she had been lying asleep upon. It was a queen-sized bed, coloured in a light pink with white roses drawn upon it. 'She really is a bundle of energy, already up and about already.'
Leaping down from the bed, Lexa sauntered over to the door of the bedroom, the soft carpet beneath her feet so comfy that she struggled to not just crawl back to sleep for a little longer. However, the sun was shining, meaning it was already midday and Lexa had been told by Alexander that he wanted their family Pet Tamer, a man called Jermine to have a look at her to try to find out more about her. Lexa also heard that she might be able to get a few Magical Items during this time so she was rather excited, enough to pave off her beauty sleep a little longer and incite her into a sprint.
The halls of the Wilderwolf estate were as fancy as the building was huge, decorations littered the walls of pictures and flowers in vases, spreading an earthly and pleasant aroma that entered her beady nose as she ran.
”Oh!” A sound of exclamation sounded as Lexa darted beneath the feet of a passing servant woman who only saw the cat running off behind her and around a corner. Letting out a little giggle, the servant woman shouted for the cat to be careful before returning to her duties. All of the servants had greeted their masters upon their return, so they had all met Lexa and knew she was their Young Misses' new Tamed Beast.
Its fair to say, many men and woman alike were squealing in delight secretly at the prospect of having such a cute cat in the estate.
Soon enough, Lexa arrived at a wide double door at the end of the hall, and using her aura to reach up to the handle, she pulled down on it and opened the door to reveal a large room with a large, elongated table at the centre and several seats surrounding it. There, Lexa found the people she had been looking for picking away at their morning meal.
”Lexa!!” Andria shouted in glee, waving her hands at the new arrival. She was dressed in a loose purple gown and Lexa was surprised to see that her already short hair had been cut even shorter.
