Ida lifts her head to the noise you make, as well. Being surprised you were there.
She looks down at Enoch, noticing his change in mood. She leans down to him, bringing him close to her in a hug-like embrace. She whispers in his ear,

“Go to my bedroom and keep your grandmother Ada company, alright? I need to talk to our guest. Go to the other door over there to the covered throne. You should know the way to the bedroom from there.” She let's him go and stands up straight.

She was looking the direction that you were in.
Enoch leaves out the other entrance in the room to go comfort Ada, his anger soon fading as quick as it came.

You felt the silence numbing your ears as you hold your breath, noticing it going silent in the room. The laughter gone now.

You turn to peak back into the room, but jump and scream when you see the woman staring at you.

“(Y/N). Come in please.” She said sternly and she meant it to be an order so there was no running away now.

You hesitate, so scared as you walk in, your body trembling as you were so close to tears.

“I-I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to listen in... I-I just heard laughing and was curious...” You look down at your hands shyly.

Ida looks down at you with a serious look, hearing your voice, she was sensing your fear. She let out a tired sigh and laid down on the bed of flowers below you and her. Her expression turning to a soft one.

She actually lowered herself to your height more as she gave you a very gentle pat on your head.

“calm down child.” She tells you calmly, not removing her site from you.

“You have done nothing wrong, but haven't your elders taught you to knock?” She asks, tilting her head as she gives you a look that similar to a puzzled cat.

You rub the side of your arm, chuckling nervously. “People back where I'm from are not really... Nice...” You admit. You remember something and you sigh.

“It's really different. I come from a place called (town). Our rulers kill our parents and let our grandparents raise us. Um..” You stop, unsure if she wants to hear more, so you just randomly stop talking about it.

Ida's eyes widen a little surprised by your statement. As she felt a bit sadden by such. “Oh... I'm sorry for asking. It must be hard...” She replies, feeling bad for choosing that choice of wording.

“It's okay, really. As soon as the child is born, the parents are sent to a gas chamber and... You get the rest. And the baby is sent to the grandparents. Some... Are not so lucky.” You bitterly chuckle, looking up at her.

“If the baby doesn't have grandparents, then they are raised to be slaves. Told that their only purpose in life is to serve the ruler. If some are females, he uses them as sex slaves...” You clear your throat, shrugging, not really phased by it anymore.

“My grandma taught me how to sneak some out and to save them. That's another reason why I bought the spell book.” You smile softly, embarrassed.

“I don't know if you guys are the same... But my Grammy was teaching me how to summon the girls that were slaves and to save. But she told me I couldn't start until I got my room cleaned,” You look down.

“But that's how I got here. I didn't know what I was doing...” You pout, looking back up at the woman.

“Men are usually seen... As rulers over the women... That's why I was a bit scared of that... Sparrow dude?.. He seemed a bit sad by my rejection..” You ramble on, feeling a bit safer.

Ida chuckles at that remark to the mention of her son. Sparrow.

“Oh child, haha... It's very different here in the kingdom! Now if you were to wonder in the human village then you have to be careful. They're not so trusting, but you don't know till you get to know them.”

“But don't worry. They know of us and are careful of royalty. Now the men here... Well how do I  explain them...” She says, thinking as she rubs her chin.

“Well, think of my son Sparrow as a big brother, but a little child in a older man's body.” She starts.

“He is very clueless of what sex is... And also when girls tell him their feelings to him in a romantic way. He doesn't understand and just takes it as a friendly love. So he friendzones you straight up...” She smiles softly.

“Some of the guys are like him. Other know of what sex is but... They just save it till marriage, you know when they're married. That's what their taught here. Also as well treating a girl right. It's a law.” She explains, closing her eyes.

You tilt your head in a innocent manner. You've heard of intercourse, but never really did it.

“Oh? Marriage? That's a strange word. Never really heard of it. Usually back at home, if a guy sees a girl, he claims her. But if he does, he has to try right away. If she doesn't get pregnant on the first try, he gets to live as a ruler... It's complicated. But it sounds nice here.” You're eyes wander.

“Something I've dreamed of... Maybe that's what the spell meant...” You repeat the words again, but not in a chant.

“Remove the worst, replace the curse, maketh a new, take me to the place with a hearth...” You mumble, yawning softly, very tired from the long day you had here.

Ida chuckles as your words and smiles softly as you yawned. “Well, it is much better here.... But yet, not like Heaven.” She yawns, opening her mouth to reveal her large teeth.

“But since you spoke of such a spell, it's enough for me to study to find out what you did...”

“Tomorrow, how about my sister and I teach you about magic, so you can save your world from the madness you have of so called rulers. Does that sound good?” She asks you, looking at you with one eye one.

You nod, smiling a bit grateful that someone cares. “Thank you... But you don't have to. If the rulers found out we were using magic, they'd kill us. But, if it's to save others. I'll risk it.” You smile sweetly, the thought of saving those girls make you happy.

Ida smiles. “Good to hear, now come here. You can sleep along side me.” She says as she laid back down on her side as her mane covers the whole bed of flowers.

“Lay on my hair to keep you warm, if you want.” She purrs lazily just before falling asleep.

You crawl over to her, curling up beside her. As soon as your eyes close, you feel yourself drifting off to sleep.
