The Founder

After a long day of travel, relaxing by the stream felt nice. The day was a relatively lazy one for the founder. She hadn’t stressed herself with leading a city at least once today, and the people hadn't stressed themselves with being part of a city. The thought seemed impossible; but then again, the blonde co-leader had taken a good portion of work off her hands. Lazy days were certainly going to be treat from now on. She would need to return for night watch, of course-- There was no way she was letting Milo be in charge for that long. But that was a headache for another day.

Benedict squawked and Isa immediately stood. Ready to take down any threat, but instead of zombies or creepers, she merely saw another blonde. One of Jesse’s friends, she thinks. The founder lowered her sword, clearing her throat and trying not to look threatening. The worst part about all of this has to be the fact that she didn’t get his name last time he was here.

It was late, later than Isa usually stayed awake for. But Benedict had gone missing and the Founder was ready to tear apart every inch of her world to find her. She had already searched the city thoroughly. Much to the annoyance of her co-leader, who probably thought she was accusing him of something. The only place left to look was outside, and the thought of her precious Benedict wandering out on her own had given her nothing but the feeling of dread.

It wasn’t until a little while later that she noticed a stranger wandering about. A woman who’s current defining characteristic was the fact that she dressed in red. Isa wasn’t sure if they were friend or foe, but wandering around at night was far too dangerous for any human. By instinct, she knew she had to get them to safety. She slinks closer, trying to remain undetected, before yanking her wrist and dragging her into a cave.

Benedict huffed at Isa, who was absentmindedly brushing her mane. It was a long day with nothing but battle and travel. Her return to the extra-dimensional fortress was supposed to be a welcome respite. But due to the situation at hand she was forced to stay awake for a little while longer.

The queen doubted she could rest even if she was allowed to, given the circumstances.

She found her nephew, who in turn didn't recognize her at all. There was a battle, and Jesse didn't want to fight either side. Next thing she knows; she's working with the kingdom that 'accidentally' kidnapped her brother's child. The same child that thought it'd be hilarious if she placed things as awkwardly as she possibly can.

Isa sighed, and took a look at Benedict's appearance. The sound of footsteps quickly grabbed her attention. Fortunately, the culprit was a familiar face. She smiled as warmly as she could to greet her.
