Chapter 2: Special Individual

I remained with the children, surrounding myself with them and telling them stories while they were all safely placed into one wagon that went back and forth from the orphanage.
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
...
From a distance, my assistant crossed his arms while he wanted as I caressed a child on my lap without a care in the world.
Commander Blaine walked in and stood next to him.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
She's quite something, isn't she?
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
Most noblewoman would never even come here, let alone touch a child from the slums.
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
...
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
She is something else, isn't she?
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
But sometimes, I worry about her.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
Worry?
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
She's a magic user. One of the few in the country.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
And she's... "Sienna".
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
Even a magic user can feel overwhelmed.
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
And she didn't have her gloves with her today. She's got frostbite all over her fingertips, yet she refused to sit by the fire unless all the children were with her.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
...
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
She'd be an amazing mother.
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
She would, but I doubt that she'd marry anyone.
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
Her father's last wish was that she'd have the freedom to choose whoever she wanted.
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
And My Lady has already solidified the position of the land with her tactics and contracts.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
I don't know anyone like her...
Solider
Solider
Sir, I have something to report.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
What is it?
Solider
Solider
Downstairs, there's a reinforced steel door. It's locked, but we are trying to find a key.
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
Is it... dangerous?
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
Do they trade in wild beasts by chance?
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
No. Besides, how could you get a wild beast down there? The hatch is barely big enough to fit an adult, let alone a feral beast.
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
What's wrong?
I rose up from my place by the fire that Ashton had set, my eyes concerned by the halted progress.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
Nothing, My Lady.
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
There is a locked door downstairs, but my men are trying to find the key.
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
A locked door?
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
Do you want me to freeze the hinges?
Ashton Smith
Ashton Smith
My Lady, it could be holding something dangerous...
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
It's alright.
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
I'm well used to dangerous situations.
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
Look after the children while I go check it out.
A woman from the orphanage nodded as I descended down into the cellar where they kept all the children.
There, I immediately felt disgust rush up my body.
Cages, whips, chains...
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
How abominable can you be...
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
My Lady, over here.
I walked towards the sound of Commander Blaine's voice and sure enough, a reinforced steel door was in front of us.
I motioned the commander to step back before I took a deep breath.
I charged up my magic and unleashed it at a slow rate, avoiding the frostbite.
As I heard the hinges squeal, I stopped. The commander then took the hilt of his sword and hit them, watching the metal shatter to pieces.
The door was then rotated so there was just a gap.
I peered inside, and my mind went blank when I saw a child lying on the ground, unconscious, completely covered in chains.
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
Oh no...
I quickly used my ice to warp the door even more, giving me and the commander enough space to crawl in.
I rushed over towards the child, who was surrounded by various bones and flies.
He's not breathing...
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
My Lady-
Sienna Frost
Sienna Frost
Commander Blaine, he needs medical attention-
Justin Blaine
Justin Blaine
My Lady, step away!
He unsheathed his sword and when I looked down at the child in my arms, his eyes were open.
Big bright red eyes.
He's... a Cursed.
