《Story of Vita》The Forest King? / Chapter 51
Advertisement
The days went by with Diana trying to teach Vita many different things. From simple commands to language and a lackluster potty training. As in Vita never really went to "inspect the bathrooms". The few people who came to visit either came to deliver papers to Dianas father or visiting for political reasons. The chats these strangers had were usually finished in a couple of hours and they all went smoothly. There werent anyone who came to visit Diana. Until the day the first snowflake came down from the sky.
During Dianas and Vitas training, mostly Dianas training, a servant walked quickly over to Sir Knight. He said something that Diana couldnt hear, but Vita knew to a certain degree what they were saying. Vitas knowlegde of their language was yet to be completed, but they were referring to the two of them and some grand school of sorts.
While they were talking, Dianas father was actually walking outside of his room with the head maid behind him. He waved his hand at the saluting people, allowing them to get back to their original task of watching over Diana and Vita. He stood in front of the two as the head maid handed a letter to Diana. It wasnt a big letter, but it had a dark purple wax seal. The seal had a sword with a open book as its guard.
"Diana, this is something I could not bring myself to hide from you and Im sorry to tell you this on such a sort notice." He took a deep breath of the cold winter air before continuing.
"Im sorry for not telling you too much about your mother. The magic you were born with, the magic you used to tame 'King', comes from your mother. She loved animals and she loved most things alive. When she still was alive, she kept a direwolf as her pet and helped people where ever she could." He sighed as he wiped away the tears that the building up in his eyes.

"Enough of me bantering about the past. The Univeristy Magi-Milians has sent a invitation to you. If you accept this invitation, you will have to have live on university grounds. It is against university rules to send Sir Knight with you, but I believe that they will allow any "pets" that are affected by personal magic." Dianas father pointed to Vita. Diana looked at the letter, then at her father and then to Vita. She seemed to think hard about it as she fiddled with the letter. She looked back to her fathers kind, but worried eyes.
"How long will it take to get there?" She had a determined look as she firmly held the letter with both hands. Her father smiled at her daughters will. In his eyes, he saw a faint outline of a woman. He blinked and the outline was gone. He smiled as he patted her daughter on the head.
Diana sat in a well decorated carriage with her family crest, a calm wolfs head with a branch in its mouth. The carriage was built to have room for Vita, but most of the time Vita simply walked behind it or scared the few people that they met on the way. There wasnt much happening, so Diana took the time to read through the letter multiple times. Other than that, she tried to braid Vitas hair.
The further west they moved, the cities they traveled through would have more and more people living in them. They didnt stay long enough in each city to learn of their cultures, but it didnt seem like there were too many differences.
They traveled for a full week before they got closer to the university. They knew they were getting closer based of the increase in traveling young nobles. Diana didnt really interact with them and they didnt interact with her. There were some people who stared at Vitas. Some librarian looking people seemed to think they knew what Vita was, but none of them bothered to actually walk up to the group. They seemed to make more space between them, as if they were avoiding them.

They finally reached the gathering spot for where they were supposed to meet. There were many camps set up by the university, each one having a guard in front of them holding a flag with the different noble houses crests. Diana arrived in front of the tent meant for them with their baggage. Because of the rule of no servants, most university students dragged behind them big bags of rich people stuff. But Diana had Vita to help her carry some of the stuff, so they had much more baggage with them.
Diana showed the letter to the guard. The guard had both leather and metal armor on. The metal armor covered the legs, hands, chest and head while the rest of the armor was leather. He brought a crystal over the seal and after confirming that is was the real deal, gave it back to her before walking away.
Diana seemed to regret her choice of coming here, but quickly walked in to the tent before anyone would want to visit her. Getting in the tent, Diana let out a breath that she had held in while walking throught the area. Luckily there was a very simple bed for her to sleep on. She sat down on it first, but then slept on it. She fell asleep quickly, as the large group of strangers had seemingly stressed her out.
Vita took the letter to see what it was about. Vitas understanding of the written language was even worse than the understanding of the spoken language, but after looking throught it multiple times and then looking throught the memories stored in some neurons allowed Vita to somewhat understand what was written.
Something something about being a noble. Something something about magic. Oh this part is interesting. I dont really understand the full thing, but I am seeing a big article with the word accept on it with the word fight some words later. Does this mean we get to fight people! Hell yeah, fighting boring animals and that one bone dragon didnt allow me to learn much about magic. But with this being a school of some kind I might get to learn a thing of two! I didnt learn much when I wasnt so badass, but this time its different! I WILL get to put "Genius of Magic" in my title, among such titles as "Noble", "Forest King", "Golden Maned" and "Guardian"!

A collection of my Reddit's Writing Prompts replies. This is a cleaned collection of various prompts I have replied to over the years. Some will just have grammar and spelling corrected. Others will get expanded. Some are simple, especially my early ones. Many of the later submissions are a complete short story. Most are just a self-contained story, but I will carry over the existing ideas if the prompt inspires something. Though I hope that some will become more than a simple prompt submission. https://old.reddit.com/r/SilverLuckyScriptures/ Moved over to Royal Roads as the UI is superior for naviation and enjoyment.
