CHAPTER 3:

                                    

                                          
That was a really odd name.
"Mystveil?" I tried testing the odd name on my tongue.
"Is it a made-up word?" me-maw has played pranks on me like this before so this could be another one of her tricks.
"nope it's a real place. A place just like the Light kingdom. There, they accept people from everywhere. Hybrids, cursed people and outcasts like us. It's really beautiful; the people there are free and don't live in fear of vampires or demons or werewolves"
She's saying it like it was some kind of mystical land where there's a bush that grants wishes.
"sounds great but how would we get there?" I asked and me-maw scratched the back of her neck nervously.
"That's the problem. Because of how vulnerable it was, the land was placed under a protective spell. You don't find them; they have to find you"
"spell by who?" This ‘Mystveil’ place was sounding too good to be true and I don't like it. 
What if we leave and find out that it doesn't exist? In fact, what form of evidence states that it does exist.
"some say it was the great priestess others say-"
"I've heard enough" I began stuffing my face with pie. That was the only way to tune her out.
"Lyra?" She wanted to calm me down. 
Not like I was angry.
"me-maw you know how I feel about the priestess" not like I don't like her but still.
"I do but at this point, what other choice do we have? Would you rather stay here?" 
A part of me wanted to say yes but that would be pure lies. She was right. What other choice do we have? 
Guess I'll have to pack. Not like I've got clothes to pack anywhere. Maybe one or two tunics and dresses plus my cloak.
"alright. I'll get us breakfast before we leave. What time are we going to leave by the way?"
"We'll leave at dusk. I know you'll want to say goodbye to your friend" she smiled a little.
I smiled and gave her a hug.
"thanks, me-maw. You've been there for me for so long" my voice was like a whisper.
"your welcome" she hugged me back.
I never really had a mother but me-maw was more than I could imagine. 
Though we've had our ups and downs, I could always count on her.
"Now get some rest. We've got a big day tomorrow" me-maw led me to my ‘room' I cuddled my thin blanket.
"good night me-maw" 
"good night Lyra" she kissed the top of my forehead and I felt my eyes flutter shut.
……
Such a beautiful morning isn't it? 
Clear skies, fresh breeze and about to steal what I'm gonna eat. Isn't life amazing(!)
