Fear . That was the main thing that overcame Taliyah . Fear and curiosity . Then , it all happened as she stood idly by . She felt like a mere object at that moment , a simple toy getting taken away .
But the frighteningly tall man the soldiers had called Sire . . . He was arguing for her . That's all she wanted . Well , that and to get these tiresome cuffs of white stone off her wrists . They drained her energy . . . And when Taliyah tried to will it off , it did nothing . The strangest thing ?
Taliyah can't hear it speak . Stones always spoke to her , but here . . . Demacia was a weird place .
Tali's thoughts were cut short when the strong , steady hands released her . The freckled woman was quick to stare up at her savior , him in his relaxed state and all . She blinked slowly before realization hit her , giving this man — Garen — a quick bow.
" E-Er , thank you . . . Sire . I truly think they were just over reacting . I go by Taliyah . Taliyah . . . Levy . " Demacia . It spoke such a complicated language . . . Her heavy accent was forcing her to have a LOT of difficulty speaking .
But Taliyah can manage .
" A meeting is a meeting , and you gave off a nice impression , " Taliyah reassured . Her head tilted to the side , dark brown locks revealing her other eye . A smile tugged at the corner of her plump , pink lips as she awkwardly stuck out both hands for a shake .
What ? It's a hard thing to do when you're cuffed !
This … Was not the situation Taliyah had imagined she’d get herself in .
It had all started so innocent ! It’s really hard for her to believe that saving one clumsy kid from falling onto the hard ground would get her cuffed , yet here we are . A mage , clothes bright enough for everyone to know she was a foreigner , being grabbed at and shoved down the dull-looking streets of Demacia . Taliyah doesn’t understand what she did to deserve such treatment ! Maybe the Noxians on the ship were right … Maybe she should’ve avoided Demacia at all costs .
The young woman thought deeply , her chocolate eyes glancing towards the parting crowd . Looks of fear and hatred was all Taliyah saw . Fear , hatred , and … Sadness . Now THAT was a huge red flag . “ What are you doing - ? ! What’d I even do ? ! You - You can’t be serious ! ” “ Silence , woman , ” was the only response she had gotten from the questions . Well , that and a dirty glare .
The guards around her came to a halt , Taliyah tearing her attention to whatever had stopped the now saluting guards . Or … Whoever . A tall , masculine man stood there infront of the three . Maybe even Taliyah’s savior ! A glimmer of hope filled her mind . Maybe … Maybe HE would understand how ridiculous this is ? Whoever this man was , he had power . That must mean he’s reasonable and smart ! Right ?
