Chapter 12 - The ride home

The Neptine dukedom's carriage arrived, it had intricate carvings and symbol of the Neptine family, a golden wolf on it. Vivian gracefully stepped inside the carriage, followed by Floria who was carrying her pendant. As the carriage ride began, Vivian sighed, "This is going to be a long ride... It's already the evening, I wonder when we'll finally arrive at the duchy..." Floria was scowling at Vivian, which only make Vivian smirk. "If you have something to say, say it to my face, b**ch" Floria hissed out, "Careful of how you speak to me, Hybrid. I'm your master now" Vivian said. *I don't want to be mean, I'm sorry Floria! It's the only way to get you to listen right now.* 

"I can't believe the portal was destroyed by monsters, and it had to happen when I was out of the duchy too... it'll take a week to get there now" Vivian sighed out, then glanced at floria, "kid, your surprisingly... thin. Do you even eat?" Floria hissed at the question, Vivian raised her hands in defeat, "Okay, okay. No need to answer, you spoiled brat!" Floria's ear twitched as she paused hissing momentarily. "You... your different" Vivian raised an eyebrow in mild confusion,"Different from who, brat?" Floria's tail flicked in mild annoyance at being called 'brat' again, she huffed. "No one, you humans are all the same" Floria turned her head looking out the window.

*That's what I used to think... but your truy different from them all. Or maybe it's just an act to get me to lower my guard down, but... ugh, why can you not be rude to me upfront, why be nice?*

(Floria's Backstory)

She used to live in Atherion, before the humans had attacked. At the time, Floria was 6. When the attack had taken place, she had snuck out of the palace to go play. By the time she had returned, her entire kingdom was burned down to ashes, she ran to the palace. Her hands clasped her mouth as she saw human's loading carts with her people, her mother and father had been killed as examples to those who dare disobeyed. SHe tried running, but accidently kicked a portrait of her family, half burned on the ground, causing a noise. The humans had taken a hold of her and thrown her in a separate cage, tossing her onto the cart....

(Quick note, the lifespan of hybrids are larger than those of humans, typically being around 100 to 300 years old. They reach adulthood at 24)
