Mysti was Inki's everything.

Her heart, her soul, her very being. The Queen of Mirrors had chosen her as perfection itself, after all. The True Heir, the one who will resurrect the Kingdom to its former glory, with her loyal Sworn by her side all the while...

And right now, Mysti and Inki were taking a break from fighting the Darkness to recharge the former's magic, taking a walk out and about to find where to go sit and have a date.

Inki curled her fingers around Mysti's as the two of them walked.

"What about there?" Mysti asks, pointing to a nearby spot underneath a tree.

"Anything you wish, Mysti!" Inki swooned. It was true, really. Mysti was just... better. She knew it, Inki knew it- not everyone knew it yet, of course, that the duo were the two best to ever be in the world, but... they will know, of course. Once Mysti resurrects the Kingdom, and rids the world of Darkness once and for all.

They walk over to the spot. Mysti sits down first, then Inki does. The air smells fresh with the smell of spring.

"Mysti..." Inki says. "It smells nice, here, doesn't it?"

Mysti nods. "It does!" She pulls out her sketchbook, her pens and pencils, and places it down. Inki pulls out her own pens and pencils and moves to right next to Mysti.

Her drawings might not be as good as Mysti's, but still Mysti loves them- they're only a little bit worse, anyways.

Inki's only a little bit worse than Mysti, anyways.

There are sparkles in Mysti's eyes as she smiles, her magic flowing through her along blood and bone. She holds up her sword tightly, ready to swing.

The people crowd around her, watching. The darkspawn sneers at and hisses at Mysti, and Mysti jumps and swings at it, striking the dog-like creature in the neck.

It staggers back, but dives- jumps past her, towards Inki and Sasha, and Mysti jumps to grab Inki, carrying her in her arms.

It's a beautiful moment, leaving Inki breathless and speechless, as she takes in how Mysti is holding her gently bridal style, and Mysti moves in to kiss her, but the two are quickly interrupted by a scream.

Sasha is trying to fight the beast off of her, and Mysti moves Inki over- switching to carrying her with one arm, hugging her close- and summons back her sword with the other, pointing it directly at the beast. "I'm not done yet, you beast!" She yells, before running over towards it and striking it yet again, knocking it off of Sasha.

Inki uses the love and magic within her to help Mysti with each blow she strikes the beast with, and soon it's dissipated into nothingness, and Sasha looks at the duo with an expression of- well, less gratitude than expected. She's a bit frightened, actually.

"Are you ok?" Mysti asks, because she's not just a good person, but the best, and it's her duty as the True Heir to find every problem and fix it.

"... Uh..." Sasha is shaking. "... Did you... take a moment to...?"

"It's fine!" Mysti smiles. "I wouldn't have done it if you were really in danger!"

Sasha looks down, an expression on her face that Inki cannot place- doesn't she understand that Mysti isn't like everyone else? That she really would never put anyone in danger?

Mysti skips off, still holding Inki close to her. Sasha will realize, in time, of course, that she wasn't in any danger. After all, everyone was safe with Mysti, the True Heir, around to help them!
