The Villainess Wants To Go Home

"It's feels so nice to be young again" I stretched my hands in the air, a groan of pleasure escaping my lips when I hear the pop of my bones. I was able to return back to the small inn of the northern district of Taivas I rented with the a few copper coins I had with me.

It wasn't a fancy place; it was room that travellers from the medieval period would stay at. Walls made from dark oak wood, a single sized bed in the corner of the room, a single table with a bowl field with fruit of apples and bananas and a single candle lamp beside the wooden fruit bowl. A chest laid under the arched window that flooded sunlight in for any supplies that wanted to be sort inside it.

The room was small yet big enough for a person stay for the night.

"Says you" Homura's masculine tone was insinuating his annoyance. I glanced to where he sat on the small brown wooden table not far from the bed where I sat.

Homura was still a bird and was clearly frustrated and annoyed about it. His scrawny little bird legs were spread apart on the table and his feather wings crossed over his chest as his beady onyx raven eyes narrowed at me.

"Your not going to be a raven forever, Homura" I said collapsed on the hard mattress of the bed that felt like it was made from wood, all my energy seemed to have diminished. I wriggled myself to get in a comfortable angle of the bed before staring completely at the wooden ceiling above me that creaked and groaned faintly.

I already turned back to looking like the young Diana than the old one like Elisaria had instructed when giving me the direction on how to use the potion she brewed especially for me and how long it will last however for Homura, I had given him the mask potion the moment I stepped out the huge double doors of the palace in fear he would suddenly turn back into a fox in front of the whole crowd and expose me and to my luck, Neil and Lykos had already returned.

Imagining them seeing a raven turning into a fox would conclude on them believing I'm also under a disguise but the worst part would be that if I escaped safely there might be a likely encounter in the near future and the two would immediately recognise me because of Homura.

Then things will go downhill from there. I've seen and read so many scenes like that which resulted in the ML falling in love with FL and sticking beside her until the end.

I don't have the time or mood for that to happen to me. No thanks I'm good.

"Just wait a little bit longer" I yawned, placing a hand over my mouth.

"Do you think I haven't" he hissed with sass resonating from his voice. "It's been hours and I'M STILL A FUCKING BIRD" I could hear the muffle of his wings whipping the air.

"To be exact with you Homura, you only waited not even half the time period for the potion to disappear" I peeked my head up to glance at Homura who was fuming with anger, fumes could be seen escaping his non existing ears if looked close enough.

I plopped my head back on the hard mattress and continued to listen to Homura squawking and bickering.

"This is all your fault" Homura squawked loudly.

"U-huh" I answered sarcastically with another yawn. Last night's lack of sleep has find it's way back to me right now. My eyelids were getting heavy making it difficult to keep them open and I could feel myself nodding off a few times before regaining my conscious self.

However, with Homura's annoying bickering in my ears that made my ear drums rattle rendered it difficult for me to get some shut eye and rest for a little before I set off again.

"I wouldn't be in this awful-EEEKKK" the woosh of my shuriken slicing the very air of the wind was quick before thrusting into the very wood of the wall with a loud sharp thud right next Homura's little raven head that probably made him shrink back in a trembling manner, shutting him for good.

There was finally silence after the shuriken hit and I could feel myself drift off to sleep... As so I thought.

"WATCH WHERE YOU THROW YOUR STAR ROCKS!" I was startled awake, my eyes quickly opening as if there was some sort of surprise attack. "YOU COULD HAVE HIT ME!" his angry squawks at me made me angry at him for waking me up.

'This stupid fox, does he not fear death? It seems like he has grown to arrogant for my likings'

"Your weren't even looking at where you were throwing. You could have sliced my head open" Homura loud complaint urged me to throw a shuriken aimed at his head this time, but I composed myself.

"Shut up before I roast you instead" a malicious hiss slipped through. An icy cold feeling started to swarm the warm air of the room, taking over the heat with its freezing air and seemingly turning into a chilling blow.

The sounds of Homura's squawking was hushed and was taken over by faint shivering. Curious I peeked my head up to see and hear Homura's clanking of his beak, he feathery wings wrapped around himself as if a gush of cold wind and made him shiver from the cold.

"What the heck happened to you?" I questioned with a blunt tone while raising a thin silver eyebrow at the confusing scene in front of me.

"A-as-s-k-k y-you-s-s-e-l-l-f-f" he stuttered in a shiver.

"Huh?" I titled my head, scratching my right cheek with my index finger. "Now your being weird?"

"W-weird my tail" he hissed, the stuttering of being cold faded away and narrowed his beady onyx eyes at me. "You used magic against me, didn't you?" Homura swift his feathery black finger at me that was the colour of obsidian with a growl.

"Have you forgotten I don't know how to use magic" I said with a deadpanned expression, my hands crossing against my chest.

"Then what do you call the chilling air from before? If I recall, it was certainly human magic"

'The chilling air? I thought that was just my feeling.' I looked down at my stretched-out palm. The sudden feeling of the cold from before was now lingering inside of me. It felt like it was freezing my blood circulation and cooling down my average temperature freezing my bones turning them into icicles. I continued to observe my palm 'Could this be Diana's magic? I might have startled it a little.'

"Your dazing out again" I glanced away from my palm to look at the raven's annoyed expression.

"Maybe" I mumbled. I should learn to control my emotions to avoid awakening Diana's ice and water magic to its fullest and course a destruction 'Yeah, probably'.

Homura let out a distasteful sigh before jumping down to land on the chair that was pulled back. He landed with a faint thud. He grumbled a few curse words at his raven body. My blue eyes observed the fox trapped in a birds body make his way to the edge of the chair. Homura tilted his head to the side so his eyes could see better at how far it was down.

I heard a faint gulped when he lifted his little obsidian hued head towards my direction. I rose an eyebrow with a little smirk crossing the corner of my lips.

He lifted his wings in the air and opened his beak to speak "Help me down" he said bluntly like he was in command of me or something.

I continued to stare at him without a budging. Homura still had his wings in the air as if he was waiting for me to pick him up from under his wings and place him down. His little beady round onyx eyes stared blankly at me.
