[color=0054a6]When the young witch appeared in front of Adalia, Adalia didn’t flinch. She hadn’t expected the witch to show up, but she had seen her fair share of strange things happening over the last few weeks, which meant that another magic trick wasn’t something that would frighten her. The rain didn’t hit Adalia or the young witch on the balcony, since there was a roof above it. The only way the rain would hit them was if it was carried with the breeze of wind that came with the stormy weather. Adalia looked at the young witch as she presented herself and started to talk before Adalia could really say or do anything in return. Once the witch was finished, Adalia nodded a little. She couldn’t demand anything from this witch, even though she wasn’t a normal young girl, she still wasn’t that old and Adalia rather wanted to treat the girl with the right manners that a young girl should be treated with. [color=ed145b]“I’m glad you brought the information to me. I’m afraid I can’t go to the house Chalsea is sleeping in. But I will have some of my soldiers carry her to my mansion, and I’ll prepare another room for Chalsea to relax and recover in.”[/color] she said with a small nod. It seems that her mansion were getting more and more inhabitants at the moment, but she supposed there was nothing to do about it, she had to help Chalsea, as she had put her own life on the line to save Adalia and the city that she ruled. [color=ed145b]“You can go back to your sister and be with her. I hope your sleeping arrangements doesn’t bother you, but I’m afraid I can’t take all of you here to my mansion, it would be against the rules and it would create rumors that might not be good for the city at the moment. But don’t worry, I do have magicians specialized in ice and other magical areas, we will take good care of Chalsea. You are also allowed to come and visit her whenever you should wish so.”[/color] She smiled at her. She didn’t know if the witch was happy with the arrangements, but for better or worse, Chalsea at least got a better place to stay in, than the housing with her soldiers. The housing was not bad, but it wasn’t luxury styled like Adalia’s mansion, and while Adalia didn’t want to stand out too much, as she had explained to Chalsea, she was still royal and had to act as such, which meant that she had to decorate her home to fit royalty as well. She walked back inside her room now. She didn’t bother getting dressed in anything else than the silk purple nightgown she was already wearing. She went downstairs and found the two guards that were standing at the entrance to the mansion. [color=ed145b]“I need your help my friends. Chalsea, our kind savior, has fallen ill and is in need of care. I would like you to bring her here. I’ll prepare her room myself.” [/color]The soldiers looked at her and nodded, bowing a little [color=8dc73f]“Of course, Queen Adalia, we’ll go and get her right away.” [/color] With that taken care of, Adalia went upstairs again to another room, further away from Rose and herself. It was a smaller room, but it still had what a room needed to have; Closet, windows, bed, chairs and a table. This room didn’t have it’s own bathroom, so Chalsea would have to use the one that was downstairs, but it was better than nothing. Adalia changed the sheets on the bed and made sure everything was neat and tidy for when the soldiers came back with Chalsea. She felt sorry for the poor girl, that she had to go through so much to keep up her spirit and will to live, but it seemed like she didn’t mind it, even though Adalia did think Chalsea should relax and settle down for a bit. She sighed a little and continued to prepare the room. She had one of the house maids bring up a bucket with ice inside it, just to have it ready for when they would need it. The soldiers had gone to the housing in the meantime and had explained the situation to Chalsea’s men. They had then gone to get Chalsea on a stretcher and put a blanket over her, so that her body at least were being kept dry from the rain as they carried her back to the mansion. Once they got to the mansion, they went inside and up to the room that Adalia had prepared. She was still inside once they got there, and had just finished preparing the room. She looked to her soldiers and nodded [color=ed145b]“Thank you my friends. Please put her on the bed, I’ll take over after that.”[/color] She smiled. The soldiers nodded and did as she asked and left with the stretcher afterwards. Adalia looked at Chalsea on the bed and sighed. She gently removed the remaining clothing Chalsea was wearing. She then put both her hands on Chalsea’s stomach and closed her eyes. She mumbled something in a low voice and magic threads came out of her hands and went into Chalsea’s body. The magic calmed down the body. But there was more, she also used the magic to create a mark on Chalsea’s left hip. The mark was a dark purple symbol, of small crystals, resembling a flower, beautiful, yet mystic. When she opened her eyes again, she removed her hands gently and looked at the young warrior’s body and the mark. [color=ed145b]“You have been blessed.”[/color] She whispered. She gently pulled the covers over Chalsea then, placed a hand on her cheek gently and then left the room. She went back to her own room where the bath was ready. She went down into the bathtub, without her nightgown on obviously, and relaxed as the heat of the water surrounded her body and caressed her mind and soul with the relaxing atmosphere of the bath. Eventually, she fell asleep in the bathtub. [/color]
