The Kingdom Of CalBridge

2. Princess Aria

"King you wanted to see me?"

Gesturing with his hand the king told his step-daughter to close the door. "Aria, good to see you" pausing to get up and hug the girl. Standing tall and proud with her chest straight was Aria, the King's step-daughter. Destined to be Queen. She was a beautiful pale woman, her ginger hair laying perfectly curled on her back, cutting at about her lower back. The green dress she wore fit perfectly on her, she stood with posture so well the dress never seemed to cress. Although she was 32 she still looked younger than ever.

"To what do I ow his meeting?" Aria said while stepping back to close the open door. "If this is about the crisis, we still haven't found anything...or the source"

"Aria we need to hurry, are people are suffering" turning to look at the big open glass window, Aria joined him staring at the people as they venture through the kingdom. "We need water, whoever did this will pay" 

"I have a suggestion, but it requires sacrifices im not sure you'll take" Oscar turned to Aria with a intriguing look on his face. "I'll do anything for the Acolytes of my Kingdom" turning to the busy streets of CalBridge he continued "tell me your suggestion"

"Where's my father?" 

"He's having a meeting with Aria" 

"Tell me, Bassanio, do you think we'll find the source of this water issue?" the prince said pausing between words as Bassanio was putting on his chain mail. 

"Pierce, your father has everything under control. You have to stop putting your nose in everything" Patting Pierce's armor to signal he was done, he passed his sword to the Prince, and began to walk away.

"Thats Prince thank you" Pierce mumbled under his breath as he left the white now dirty tent. 

As Pierce left the tent he saw barrels being moved in carriages and wheel barrows, moving towards a familiar face. Ducking as a barrel went over his head before landing in a carriage, he continued to look around in confusion and he reached his father. "What's going on"

"We've decided to share our water supply with the rest of the Acolytes until we find what or who" he said 'who' quietly "is polluting the water".

"Oh, I had that idea" Pierce with a slight smile on his face. "No, Aria suggested it" his smile disappeared. "What!" The prince had a slight angry face put on. "How can she take credit for a idea I had?!" Pierce exaggerated the 'I' in his sentence. 

"Don't know, but you always look just like your mother when your angry" Oscar said while rubbing Pierce's pointy Acolyte ears. Pierce shoved his father's hand off hiding the embarrass blush on his face as his father did that in public. He heard a slight chuckle from behind him as he marched off to find Aria.

"How could you?" Pierce looked around the room like he was searching for the answer. "Pierce, you had a good idea and you know how much I want to be Queen" 

"You always take credit for my ideas and never make your own" he turned to Aria and continued "I just want my father to treat me muturely, I can't do that if you're always taking credit for my ideas" he said finishing his sentence by lowering his voice and heading out of the tent where Aria was getting ready in.

Pierce POV

"Okay class today we'll be practicing water magic today. In light of the crisis we'll learn to purify your magic water so its drinkable" Standing proud was the best witch I knew, she was very unique because she is the only one who is still alive to study all types of magic, Eda. "Everyone open to page 36 and we'll get started"

Wearing a beautiful dress, the top was white with buttons and a black short tie to compliment her figure. The dress flowed into a green plaid pattern only stopping just before it hit the floor. She was straight out on a fairy tale, I always wanted to learn magic like she did. And although she is or was old, 'the Leaf of The Young' which she had journey to get for years still keeps her looking like 20.
No one is allowed to learn like she did, she was a criminal for years and was wanted for a huge amount of money, until she made a deal with my father. Covens stop us from being like her, they are to separate the different types of magic. My mother, she believed magic shouldn't be mixed and that it will help the world be more peaceful and lower rates of criminals. There's alot of different kinds of magic water, fire, illusion, plant and tons more. 

People dont like this rule, and practice all kinds of magic in secret. I haven't choosed a Coven yet, so I can still perform all kinds but once I choose ill only be able to perform one type. So I will make it worth it.
