This is a drabble of a fanfic I'm probably never going to write.
I was being escorted by four men in medieval armor. After I had demorphed they had found me in an area I wasn't supposed to be in. In Bald eagle morph I had flown for some time and ended up in a large city. Nowhere did it appear that any modern conveniences like a mall or simple shoe store existed.
I must have gone through a Saario Rip but I didn't remember it happening. Yet it had. The plan had been to rest and then go somewhere I could find out about this part of history. History wasn't my forte and after I got back I would become the biggest history buff in town. I'd know more about history than Cassie did about animals. Maybe.
So how did my dumb butt get captured in the first place? Morphing takes up a lot of energy and I had already become exhausted while flying. So the guards had overpowered me and now I was being taken somewhere. To their king? Queen?
I finally arrived in a throne room. Near the back was a throne made entirely out of swords where a boy with a crown sat. He was the king of wherever I had ended up. Great, I was going to have to convince this brat to let me go. Beside him sat a woman who must have been his mother. She might even be the queen.
"King Joffrey Baratheon, I found this girl wandering where she shouldn't have been." One of the guards said.
"What is that you're wearing?" Joffrey asked. "It looks hideous. Don't just remain silent!"
"Spandex." I replied and a small groan escaped.
The brat looked at me and it took all of my strength not to lash out at him. I did not like being talked down to, especially by a boy that was around my age. He didn't look like he had killed anyone. At least not anyone in a fair fight. But lashing out now would mean at least one of the guards killed me. I had a lot of faith in myself, especially when angry, but there were limits.
"We'll just tear it off your body." Joffrey said dismissively. "It must be valuable."
"Maybe she is valuable if she's wearing such exotic clothing." The woman said in a soothing voice.
"I am." I said sternly. "I'm an Estreen."
The woman sounded much nicer than the boy but I was still suspicious. Controllers could sound caring and still kill you. There was no one in this room that I could trust. Besides the lack of friends, there was the fact I would have to pull off being an Estreen. I should've pretended to be something else but my mouth had gotten the better of me.
The king gestured for me to continue so I demonstrated. I raised my hand up and concentrated on my Grizzly Bear morph. I concentrated with all my might on a bear paw and hoped it would be the only thing that changed. Very slowly fur started to cover my hand and there was a gasp throughout the room. For a minute the only thing that mattered was my hand.
"I am an Estreen." I said once my hand had completed its transformation. "I can change into different animals in fascinating ways. I offer my services to you."
"I could use the entertainment." Joffrey said with a grin.
I did not like the grin and knew my stay here wouldn't be peaceful. Hopefully it wouldn't be long until I could leave this place.
