Peach wasn’t entirely sure of what was going on. It seemed like everything she saw was moving through a slow fog - her every though seems sluggish, everything she heard, a beat behind. She tried a few times to form words, to try and clarify what was happening - to try and better understand any of it - but her tongue felt like it was made of lead. It was heavy, and she was entirely unable to utilize it and form words. She was stuck.
Somewhere in her head it registered that she wasn’t home anymore. That something unplanned had happened. Maybe something bad. She could see the castle looming ahead of her, and a hundred or more men kneeling under her.... but it didn’t seem to mean much. A vague recognition made itself known in the back of her mind; but she couldn’t place her finger on it.
When her guide - who she now remembered as Kagaho - took to his knees as well, a light smile appeared unbidden on the princess’ face. She didn’t know all the details of where she was right now, or of what was happening... but in some, unfamiliar way, it all felt..... right. Like it was supposed to be happening. She nodded at the men before her, then turned her attention to Kagaho and finally found her voice.
“Lead on,” she said quietly.
