The Broken Kingdom.

Chapter 13 (Betrayal and Bonds)

Pin got up with a heavy heart.

They got dressed and walked off to the Medicine bay.

They wished they could have a different mentor.

Scarlett was her mentor, but she was mean.

The orange haired Healer was skilled and smart. Pin could admit that.

But she was never close to Pin and never accepted them.

They wanted someone to care about them but the only ones that did care were Alice, Bridgette, Courtney, Dj, and Gwen.

They cared about their friends and smiled thinking about them.

When they finally told Gwen and Alice the truth it felt like a weight has been lifted.

The three siblings got closer because of this, and they found time to talk and eat together.

Walking into the Medicine bay Pin was hit by the smell of herbs and potions.

The herbs were in bottles, but their scent seeped through the bottles.

It was a normal smell for the Healers and Pin was used to the smell.

They were still smiling when they ran into their mentor.

Scarlett: What are you smiling about!?

Pin: Nothing Foxheart...

Scarlett: You don't get to call me by my Other name! You are MY apprentice!

It seemed like whatever Pin did their mentor had a problem with it.

Scarlett: You are lucky I am taking you to get your Other name!

Healers get their Other names from their ancestors not their leaders.

Scarlett gave Pin a green drink.

Pin quickly drank the sour drink with big gulp.

They shivered and went to the nearby sink.

They put the sink on and quickly washed the glass and put it away.

Scarlett: Finally!

They left the Medicine bay and started their journey.

Pin liked going on walks outside of the Kingdom.

The occasional long piece of grass hit Pins tail.

It felt ticklish but they did not say anything.

After a while they turned left to go into Mud Kingdom territory.

It was surreal entering Mud Kingdom!

Pin has been into the territory before to get herbs and to go to the Sky Castle.

But every time they felt like it was the first time.

Scarlett tried her best to keep away from the mud, but Pin did not care as much.

When they reached the path to get to the Sky Castle Pins feet were covered in mud!

They started to clime the hill.

It was not too hard to do.

Even if the hill was the size of a mountain and hanging above water and sharp rocks.

For some reason, the sound of the water made Pins fur prick up.

At the top they saw a castle with old glass art.

It had cat people!

One of them were two siblings one with black hair and the other with white hair.
