iii. a scroll through the village

Her bare feet walks across the dirt ground, examining the village.

All of the people around her waved, but she didn't know what such movement that meant. So she stared, blinked, and continued her scrolling. Her legs were still wobbly, but the blond had helped her a bit so she could walk by herself. He seemed very nice.

She didn't want to wear shoes. They felt so weird on her feet. The blond (she really had to get his name), told her to watch where she's going so she doesn't step on anything. So far, so good.

She's stopped by a woman, with two smaller humans by her side. Ally blinks at them, and they blink right back. Her eyes then go to the lady, who's looking at her in amazement.

The woman bows before the warlock before speaking, "I don't know if this is true, but I've read in the books, that were written on each Miracle Warlock, that it is tradition for the Miracle Warlock to show us their powers."

Ally blinks at her, processing the words. She had been informed of this in her sleep. But still, she shakes her head and continues her walking.

"Multi-skilled warlocks have died by showing their abilities," retorts Ally, turning around she's few steps away from the woman. "you see, attackers then prepare themselves for what they could be facing. I won't put myself or this village in such danger."

The woman looks at the Warlock awe, stunned by her intelligence. "Um, I understand. You're really wise."

Ally blinks at her, and turns her head in her robotic way. She then turns and begins to walk, on her way again.

Ally watches as everyone waves and bows at her, confusing her. She just stares and blinks at them. From all over, she's getting a warm and welcomed vibe. She also sensed harmless bitterness, so it didn't alarm her.

She sees two teenagers with a bow and arrow, something she was taught in her sleep. Ally supposes because it was a common weapon in the village. The boy said he had those, too. She had no idea how to use them, but she was educated on what they were.

Her scrolling is interrupted by a couple of smaller children running in front of her. She senses a harmless, playful, and excited feeling and looks at them two. But there's also a tingling feeling; she knows what it is.

Ally stops the little girl with honey brown hair and blinks at her.

The emotionless face of Ally makes the little girl a little confused. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Frost," Ally says, blinking at her twice then directs her hazel eyes. "you can frost."

"Woah! How'd you know?!" The little girl asks excitedly, smiling brightly.

"She's a mind-reader!" A little boy, his hair a dark shade of red, speaks in amazement. "What am I?"

Ally's eyes direct their way to the boy and she blinks twice. "You're twins, but you have enhanced speed."

"She's totally a mind-reader." The brother whispers to the sister.

"No, stupid, she's the Miracle Warlock," says the little girl. "This is the girl who we see sleeping when we go help around the castle."

"I thought she was dead."

Ally blinks at the both of them, her peaceful and natïve thoughts interrupted by their bickering. She's about to stop them, but is interrupted by someone grabbing on to her arm. The sudden action results in the fuchsia color from earlier returning and her turning around in a swift movement.

The glow doesn't fade away, seeing the men had swords and their faces were blocked with a sallet. Ally holds her glow and focuses on the men, blinking double as usual. Without a shared word, she lifts both her arms and points them at the men and fires the glow at them.
