Order 006

She was not sure when or how the scenery had changed to get her where she was. All she knew was that she was suddenly face to face with Her Majesty yet again and she felt a strange weakness fill her. They were both in their human forms though she could not remember having changed to this form. She did not seem mad by Fae's apparent intrusion. Had she been the one to summon her? She wished to ask, to question why she was here when Her Majesty spoke. "Come closer." Fae did not dare to disobey. She took a step closer as instructed, slipping her hand within the slender one of the Stygian before her. As she did, nostalgia she did not understand filled her and a soft shudder shook her form, sending chills up her spine. What was this?

She stood there quietly, uncertain what to say. She suddenly felt very small standing there hand in hand with Her Majesty, like a child looking up to her mother. She wondered if that was strange, if perhaps she should let go when the other being spoke again. "I apologize for my lack of presence it has been trying to keep the ah, what you would call Chaos, at bay. My power here is limited, until I acquire the full memories of the Tree." Though she knew she should know, Fae felt confused by this and she could not help but look up at Her Majesty despite the blinding light that made her squint. "The tree?" She simply did not understand. "The Tree, or the first nightmare." Fae blinked at this. She vaguely remembered hearing about this before. "I'm unaware you are not innately aware of your inheritance. As children of the first nightmare, it is your duty to protect the tree." At this she could not suppress a shudder.

She was silent for a long moment, struggling to process just what this all meant. She knew Her Majesty was not lying to her. Of course she needed to protect the tree. But how could she do this on her own? Doubt swam within her mind as the mystical queen spoke again. "Of course, your allegiance to me plays great importance to my cause. No good deed should go unrewarded, as they say, if I recall. To that, you may ask of me of any one thing. A gift, then. You must understand however, I may only grant gifts that are within your ability to receive them. If your ability is not strong enough, then, the gift too, will be untapped." At this she frowned a bit. The sound of that worried her. What should she ask for? Was she even worthy of asking for anything? She looked away for a moment, replaying all that had been discussed between them just now. She would be lying if she said she wasn't terrified of what this foreboding conversation meant. She felt as though something was coming, something Her Majesty failed to mention. Was it on purpose. "I feel I am not worthy Your Majesty, but you must forgive me. What I desire is the courage and strength to face what I must in order to serve you and keep Order in tact." Was that too much to ask for? She did not know but it was the only thing she could think of.
