City of Viella
Sugarcane Central of Hjordis
□ □ □
After what seemed like hours, Davina finally came to a halt. Placing both her hands on her knees, her body bent down as she took in deep breaths.
"Mutantur species tuum," She muttered the words of a glamour spell. Her appearance started to change the moment the words slip through her mouth. Her hair that was once the color of ebony, slowly turned into a light shade of brown. Her eyes that was once purple was now the color of cocoa. She then took off her red cloak, stuffing it in her satchel. The color of it was undeniably eye-catching.
Now that the elementals were pursuing her, she had decided to change the way she looked. Unlike the faction, the elementals had connections all over the realm. She could not risk getting caught.
The woman then scanned her surroundings, seeing a gate that lead to a city, a large wooden sign perched up on it.
Viella
Hjordis' Sugarcane Central
Davina read, before her legs started moving, heading towards Viella.
Her eyes were drawn to the dying fields as she walked down the city's streets. It wasn't what she expected. She anticipated to see fields filled with greenery, yet a city with dying sugarcane crops is what greeted her.
The people around her were scurrying around, their faces mirrored a look of panic. Out of curiosity, she approached a man who was also walking along the street.
"Sir?" Davina called, getting the attention of the man.
"Do you mind if I ask you what's happening? Everyone looks so troubled."
"You're not from around here, are you?" The man retorted, curiously scanning Davina's face.
"The city's been facing a problem with pests these past few weeks. Most of the crops had already died." The man answered before he walked away and continued with his business.
"Pests?" She muttered to herself, slowly getting lost in her thoughts.
The approaching sound of hoarses brought her back to reality.
"Attention!" A man sat on a horse yelled, catching the attention of the people around him, including Davina.
"You are in the presence of an earth elemental!" The man spoke as he moved aside, revealing a cloaked woman perched on top of another horse. Unlike the man's horse, hers modelled an armor the color of emerald. Upon hearing this, Davina immediately froze.
"Pay your respects to Lady Vanadey Vis, first born of the Duke of Hjordis and the heir to the throne." The people bowed as a sign of respect as the man finished. The woman lifted one of her legs, gracefully jumping down from her horse. She faced the people before removing the hood of her cloak, revealing her face.
Davina saw the same pair of green orbs she saw before. The woman was one of the four elementals that chased her. She let out a sigh of relief, mentally thanking herself for changing her physical appearance. If she hadn't done what she did, the earth elemental would have recognized her and ended up chasing her again.
