509 / 3750 WC Charlotte @Itazura | The girl's wheelchair was slowly and inaudibly moving through the grass, ever so slowly approaching the pink forest called Sakuramori. Despite this place being part of Black Rose's territory, this was actually the first time Charlotte would be visiting it. She had not found any time to do so in the past. But now, well... she had pretty much all the time she could desire. Deprived of both her position and her legs, she had almost given up on anything. And while her cheerful personality remained mostly intact, she felt much more tired as each day went by. She did not pity herself. It was more like... she was disappointed and displeased with herself. She was not able to stand up to everyone's expectations, and her own ones. The chances she desired, they were surely gone by now. And so, she did not need to care anymore, for she had failed and would forever be forgotten by everyone eventually. Was that thought what drove her to this place? It was said that Sakuramori was very dangerous and filled with creatures that could kill even a skilled mage in an instant. Or perhaps those were just mere lies too. In any case, the white witch decided to take her trial on these grounds. She would either succeed and be able to finally feel herself proud, or she would fail and loose her life. In any case, she would be happy with the result. After all, she was nothing more than just a puppet. So if she was to remain dead in this place by the will of Seth, the story would reach it's desired conclusion. Taking in a deep breath, she would stretch her hands in the air as she looked around. It seemed that she was alone for now. The wooden chair with golden trim seemed rather out of place, as did the girl herself with her white color scheme as per usual. Even her staff was still of pure white, affixed to the chair in case she would ever need to reach it. Though it went without a question that such weapon was a bit hard to use while sitting at all times. The poor girl could not feel any more useless in this sorry state. Perhaps that was why she asked for company on this quest. Another member of the guild who wished to take the trial and go through it. Yes, Charlotte was nothing more than a coward who could not do this alone at all. She herself knew that much and hated herself for it. But there was no way around it, as it seemed. So she could only wait right now, patiently. And once the magical creature of Black Rose would show up, they could begin the trial known as Kiyoshi. Despite spending most of her times in the library or in her own room with plenty of books, the young witch actually didn't know what to expect at all. Just about anything was possible in such place, or so she was told anyway. |
