The world i dream of
She suddenly awakes in a grass field. She enjoys the halcyon breeze until suddenly, she hears screaming. Jumping up, she searches for the source of the screaming, her eyes landing on a small kingdom. Small, literally, it the kingdom of Cats. Grabbing her bag, she pulls out her sword and runs over to the kingdom. As shes coming upon the castle, she sees 3 small gremlin-like creature. She quickly becomes impetuous and flails her sword around, screaming "Leave them alone!" in the process. The irascible creatures jump onto her, biting her legs and torso and scratching her face.
She uses the sword in her hand to stab one of the creatures in the back, successfully getting it off of her. She then grabs the other and throws it in the air, slicing it in half as it came back down. The last one becomes contumacious and doesn't let up on scratching and slicing her leg.
She grabs it by the scruff, holding it up to her eye level.
She grabs the dagger stored in her belt and make one quick stab to the heart. She then hurries over to Purrincess Kitty. The (technically queen) princess of the cat kingdom.
"Hey! Are you alright?" She asks, bending down to the Princess.
"Oh thank you brave hero! You've saved my kingdom! I offer you my gratitude." The princess responds.
She gets back up, putting her sword back into her bag. Waving bye to the Cat Kingdom, she makes her way to yet another kingdom. This time the kingdom is more normal sized, very big, but the size of a normal kingdom. Walking into the kingdom she see all the people, not human, peculiar beings. Every other citizen is yet another mythical creature, except made to be humanoid. There Phoenixes, unicorns, jackalopes, and many others, all with humanoid features but not quite human. She walks forward, towards the castle itself, waving at a mothman and and nice gryffon on her way.
As she steps into the castle, she sees jackalope scurrying around, tending to their duties. She wanders around, her eyes scanning her surroundings until they land on a certain individual. There stands a humanoid kitsune, the King of this kingdom. His name being, King myth.
She walks up to him, suddenly becoming diffident.
"Hello KM!" She says, gleefully.
He looks over to her, once his eyes land upon her a ghost of a smile lands upon his face. She knows hes happy to see her, but she also knows he doesn't like to show emotion nor weakness to anybody, except her.
"Ah, just the human i've been meaning to see. How are you on this fine day?" He asks, solemnly.
"I'm good! I just saved Purrincess Kitty from a few bad guys!" She says, pride in her voice.
"That's wonderful, i'm glad to hear you're always helping others." He responds. "Come with me, lets talk" He says, gesturing her to follow. She's already aware of the place he's taking her. The library, the place she has always loved.
He guides her to their spot, the small corner of the big library they always go to chat. They both sit in their respective seats and start chatting about anything, everything.
"So. I'm planning an event to celebrate the successful partnership with the Water Kingdom. Would you like to join me?" He asks. "It would be a date, but it doesn't have to be if you aren't interested.". He finishes.
"I- I would love to!" I says, smiling nervously. Im so happy he asked me, i have liked him for quite some time but, I was just scared he would reject me.
"Wonderful, its at 9 tonight. I will await your presence. He says, standing up. "I must go now, ill see you tonight?" He asks. She just nods, not wanting to say something embarrassing. He does a slight wave goodbye then walks away, leaving her to her thoughts.
Some time later, just an hour before the party, she goes to find a dress. She probably should've
done this sooner but oh well, cant change the past.
She walks into a small shop filled with formal attire, dresses, suits, ties, bows, etc.
She goes over to the dresses section, finding the ones she sees fit to her taste. She finds a few, trying them on, none of them really sparked, except for one. A pretty off the shoulder dress, white cloth, long flowy sleeves and skirt, tied together with a dark brown under-cleavage corset.
She thinks she looks lovely, and hopes King Myth would feel the same.
She pays for the dress and starts walking towards the kingdom, the peach sky becoming darker by the minute.
She walks into the castle, following the carpet to the ball room. She makes her way in, suddenly becoming nervous about wearing this revealing dress. She spots Myth in the crowd and makes her way over to him, her face becoming more flustered the closer she gets to him.
He finally takes notice of her, his eyes becoming wide at witnessing her walking towards him, her dress flowing nicely behind her, her hair neatly brushed, the subtlest of makeup on her face.
"Wow. You look radiant." He says, almost breathless at the sight of her.
"O-oh, you like it? I was a bit nervous to wear this." She says, laughing awkwardly.
"I love it on you" He responds, the slightest of blush appearing on his cheeks.
They stare at each other, too nervous to say anything. Taking in the moment that is upon them.
"You look dashing, Myth." She finally says. "Would you like to dance?" She nervously asks him, pointing toward the open space with very few people dancing with another.
"It would be my honor." He responds, taking her arm in his and walking out.
They start swaying to the music, his hands on either side of her waist, her hands around his neck. Looking into eachothers eyes, it feels like the world around them fades away, suddenly its just them, just him and just her, it feels like thats all they have, thats all they need.
Their faces inching closer, she feels her face heating up. She closes her eyes as she feels his lips brush against hers.
She leans in closer, to feel nothing. She opens her eyes to find, nothing. Everything around her is blank until, she shoots up, awaking at her office desk.
Her phone buzzing underneath her arm. She picks it up to see a few texts, all from a man named Mike.
She unlocks her phone and looks at the texts
"Hey, are you at work right now?"
"I'm hosting a formal party tomorrow."
"Would you like to join me?"
She reads the texts, a subtle blush appearing across her now smiling face. Responding to the text she types,
"I would love to."
