"Uggh!" The tiny girl let out, arching back before slamming her head down onto the table, giving off a thump. "I'm bored!" She equally as loudly said. Only receiving a notion of quieting down, from another person sitting at the same table. The girl lazily turned her head over to look at the other, groaning again. "You can't control me, I'm the fucking queen." She snarkly replied.
"Even a queen needst be quiet in a library." The other returned, yet in a much more quiet tone. "You've been the Queen for a long time, Penny. But you still have yet to learn proper etiquette?"
"Etiquette shmettiquette." The tiny girl, Penny, lifted up her right hand to wave around. "The only thing I need to learn is how to fight." Bringing the same hand down to her face, she clicked her fingers, summoning a small string of electricity between her pointer finger and thumb. "And how to control this magic..."
"Oh, you act too much like Lilly. Have you two been sneaking out at night again?" Now, you'd say it was obvious that they were two different hieghts, but that was because one was sitting up straight and the other was slumped over the table.
"Maybe." Penny lazily replies. "What's it to you, huh? All you're gonna do is just give us some huge lecture about how it's unladylike for a Queen to go out and beat up a couple hundred citizens in the underground fight ring."
"That's because it IS unladylike!" Despite whispering, she finds it in her to somehow raise her tone. Like doing one of those 'the crowd goes wild' whisper screams. "And lower your tone, this is very immature of you!"
"Nah." Penny closes her right hand, then uses the other hand to help her into sitting up, to which she proceeded to get up on the chair, slamming a foot down on the table. And, her next actions? She just screams.
Now, normally it wouldn't be that bad to see someone get up onto their chair, with a foot on the table and start screaming in a library. If they were a child. Now, Penny was 5'6, yet at the age of 18. Her whole life was something you wouldn't expect from a Queen in such a power. Yet, among her loyal followers she is called the "Queen of Regret."
When she was growing up, she lived in a far off future, in a place that could only be described as 'chaotic' and 'filthy.' And when 'far off future' was mentioned, it was meant. Her only hope in this dark and cruel future, was her brother. Adrian Afridaniel Whi'ker. Who was the eldest of the duo.
They lived for each other, like two lovers bonded by fate. Though, apart from the two was a squirrel named Pachi. It was the pet of their late mother.
But how did they time travel, you ask? Adrian knew magic, and apart of this was advanced black magic. He sacrificed their late mother's pet, in order to have time to see her again. Though, it would have been more time than they thought.
Though Penny lived in such an apocalyptic world, she struggled in the modern society. Being a young girl in ragged clothing, she only had her brother to hold at night. And vice versa. Her brother would constantly be on watch to protect Penny, even going as far as putting his life in danger just to ward off danger.
Though they had finally met their mother in the past, it became short lived. Penny had joined a group of 'Dimensional Hoppers' that all had one goal in mind. To bring the entirety of the universe to peace. Though, by the time she had joined, her attitude changed. She was older, at the age of 15, and wanted to make sure everyone found peace. Even if that meant taking an axe and splitting a few heads.
At this point, too, she wore a magical robe conjured up by her brother. It protected her from a single hit, before disappearing. Though, under this she wore two more layers of protective clothing. No one has seen past her chainmail onesie.
The group she had joined, changed her attitude further. She became more violent as time went on. She had completed more missions, some in the privacy of her and her target's eyes. Just to find the "peace" she was promised.
Time went on, and Adrian took his gripe to the commander of the group, a literal King. They fought, in the eyes of Penny. She watched as her brother was thrown around, coming close to being defeated.
Adrian, like any hero in a tale, came out victorious. He gave the position of royalty to his sister, in order to pursue his love for magical arts.
And that's how Penny, a young 15 year old, became Queen. Which brings us back to the screaming 5'6 Queen in the middle of the library.
"Penny!" The other woman at the table kept her voice down, standing up to try and grab this screaming toddler.
Penny just stared at the woman. "Lilly! Maddelyn is being mean to me again!" Penny jumps backwards, as a flash of light momentarily blinds everyone looking, followed by a sudden pushing force, like a hundred cheetahs just came to a halt.
As the light fades from peoples eyes, and paper stops flying everywhere along with pretty much everything, they could find Penny being caught by the giant head of military. Lilly.
"What's all the fuss?" The 6'1 female spoke. Her long brunette hair slowly drifting back down, recovering from the recoil. Her clothing fit the part of formal military attire.
"Maddelyn is being mean to me! Teach her a lesson Lilly!" Penny kicked around, moving to make herself comfy enough to look at Lilly in the face.
"Uh-huh... This true Maddi?" Lilly nodded at Penny, before looking up. Maddelyn was under a pile of thrown around books. "Or should I wait for you not to be on break?"
"Penny!" The voice was not lowered any longer, this was a full on yell. The woman under the books, Maddelyn, broke out from under the pile. "How! Dare! You!" Maddelyn is the head of learning, but looks like she's the head of magic affairs. Her purple robe looked like a wizard of old's robes. "This is unladylike!" More shouting as she walks closer to the pair, anger in each step.
"Lilly~!" Penny moans, kicking her feet in the air.
Lilly just looks down at Penny, then up to Maddelyn, then back to Penny. "Alright kid. But you owe me." She put Penny down onto her feet, then stepped towards Maddelyn. Like waving a red flag at a bull.
She was crazy, confronting a woman who was ready to punch anyone into oblivion. Yet, she took the chance. Stepping to the right, Lilly danced around Maddelyn, wrapping an arm around the smaller female's waist and bringing her back, and holding on as she hangs from her arm.
This only got an equally as before angry stare from Maddelyn. "Lilly." She spoke.
"Yes, my sweetest?"
"Let go of me."
"No-" Lilly was cut short by a strong backhand.
Maddelyn dropped down to the ground, as the support was gone, but she was glad enough that Lilly wasn't touching her. "You're a horrible human, Lilly. I bet you steal men and women from relationships for a living." She dusted off her robe, only to grimace. "Great."
Lilly soon after gets herself up, cracking her disjointed jaw back into place. "Jeez, you been working out sweet ass? Doublin's got it too good if he has you." She chuckles.
"Shut!" Maddelyn barked, holding a hand up to Lilly. "You are, as I've said before, a horrible human being. Now pay attention, Penny is gone."
"Yo, so what? She can handle herself." Lilly shrugged. "I don't see why you need to baby the kid, she's not a teenager anymore."
"Missing the point like usual, Lilly." With that, Maddelyn walked off. Through the rubble of the library, in a quest to find where Penny went.
"Hey, whoa!" Lilly started to follow, though a second look at the mess she made brought her to a stop. She held up a hand, clicking her fingers. Instantly, the entire kingdom's first fleet has stormed in. "Clean this up boys. Use teamwork." Lilly casually ordered. As soon as that was done, she returned to chasing after Maddelyn.
