The Land Of Kaito

The Portrait

I awoke to a knock on my door.

"I'm coming Aunt Claire!" I called groggily.

I opened my eyes and was surprised to see that I was not in my room.

Mothenzerath entered.

"Who's Aunt Claire?" he asked.

Oh yeah. I was in Kaito now.

"My aunt, duh!" I mumbled.

Mothenzerath walked over to the curtains and pulled them back.

I hissed.

Quickly, I took my pillow and put it over my head.

"Are you always like this?" Mothenzerath sounded amused.

"Sometimes," my reply was muffled by the pillow.

Mothenzerath sighed.

"Anyways, it's time to get up."

"Why? It's not like I have to!" I said.

"Well, you came here for a reason, right?"

"Because you lead me here," I muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing!"

I threw the pillow of my head and sat up.

"Yes, I came here for a reason," I said while standing up, "I want to know what my mother meant."

Mothenzerath nodded.

"There are some clothes in the drawer. Once you're changed, come into the dining hall. We'll be waiting."

Mothenzerath walked back out of the room, closing the door behind him.

I quickly got changed into a t-shirt and jeans, then rushed into the hall.

I then realized that I didn't even know where the dining hall was!

I walked around aimlessly for a few minutes until I came across a portrait. Struck by curiosity, I stepped closer.

The painting was of a woman with very dark red hair and brown eyes. From her glare, you could guess that she was wanting and about to kill someone. Beside her portrait was a picture covered by a tapestry. I reached out to uncover the portrait.

"There you are!"

I turned around.

Mothenzerath was standing there, looking impatient.

"Come on, lets go!"

I sighed.

This mystery would have to wait for another time!
