Part 1- Flashbacks

⚠️tw: flashbacks and panic attack⚠️

Kataena's POV

•Three weeks ago•

"Please! Please Mother- Mother please! I haven't done anything! I was asleep in my room when someone tried to murder Uncle! You saw it in my memories!" Sobbing, she tried desperately not to shatter completely during the announcement of her sentencing. She knew her mother wouldn't just lock her in a room for eternity. That would be too peaceful. She knew that Mother would choose something much worse.

Slamming her staff of colourful sunlight down, the Queen took everyone's right to speak away. Her face seemed red with anger and... grief? The Queen said quietly but with endless power, Kataena's mother gave the final blow to her daughter's heart."I sentence you to exile until I deem fit. You must stay in the human realm, alone, forever."

"MOTHER- MOTHER PLEASE NO! I LOVE THE COURT I AM YOUR DAUGHTER I WOULD NEVER KILL UNCLE-" Kataena cried out, screaming in invisible pain. She tried to struggle, to run to her mother and hold her, shake her until she realized her daughter was innocent. She knew she couldn't, she was held to the marble floor by almost invisible magic chains. Her voice broke with almost every word, her heart shattering faster than a glass pane thrown at a wall.

"Silence. I have no daughter. It's odd, you have died five times. Why would you subject someone else to that feeling if you are the daughter that I knew. I can't even call you a god." Through her tears, Kataena knew what her mother was hinting at quietly enough that only she could hear: 'A war is starting soon. You're all I have, and I cannot let you die-'

-end of flashback-

Gasping, I woke from the night terror, violently shaking my head to get my last memory of my mother out of my head. Trying desperately to breathe properly in the cramped cave I took shelter in for the night. ⚠️end of TW⚠️ I hate the endless darkness, too many bad memories, but I had to be calm before I could walk properly again. I brought my thoughts back to my one and only task: to find Ph1lza. To find my father. I need to calm down first before I could go looking.

I only had one picture of him, clinging onto it in the desperate hopes that he would look similar to how he looked close to seventeen years ago. After calming down, I decided to walk outside to the beautiful landscape of the human lands. If I'd had the chance to get my title as a god before coming here, I'd know what to do after finding a home. I would get the message randomly, having a sudden and vivid dream of my crowning and Fate telling me what I am god of.

I knew where I needed to go so I started walking where my magic told me to. A few days ago, while I was in a snowy looking village, I heard some villages talking about the amazing country of powerful warriors. Some place called... I think it was L'manburg. I think the names of the warriors were... Tommy, Wilbur, someone else... and my father. Philza. The Warrior of the Skies.

•After hours of walking and some flying•

I hope I'm not crazy. I decided to do what Mother always told me to do if I thought my senses were being tricked. I shut my eyes and used my magic to cleanse my eyes of any tricks. When I opened them, I saw what my magic was drawing me to.

I saw the flag of L'manburg, and a winged man flying gracefully above it.

(A.N.- Sorry if this chapter was short, I was in band practice for two hours while I wrote this and I'm exhausted. Marching is hard when you have undiagnosed chronic pain haha. I hope you have a good day, or night, or whatever. Take care of yourself! Next part coming soon [if I don't forget lmao] Please drink some water! Cya!) -Ender
