"A Phoenix!"
The Announcer cried.

No sooner Ananya had seen a fiery bird in her mind, she immediately transformed into one. She opened her eyes and shot up to the sky. Fire spat from every feather on her body. The burning pain subsided and she felt lighter than the air.
She swooped across the hall and took three swift rounds.

The crowd gazed in amazement as this was their first time seeing a Phoenix.
There had been stories and myths about a Phoenix tribe called The Feys.
It was said that they were immortals, as they would rise from their ashes.
But none had ever caught a glimpse of a Phoenix.

And now,
The Princess Of Maya
Was a Phoenix!

The crowd cheered in amazement, so did the Royals and Nobels.
It was a historic event as it was the first official sighting of a Phoenix.

As Ananya heard the cheers, she could hear the next announcement of the retransformation back to her normal self. If she failed to do so, she will have to stay as a Phoenix for a month.

Ananya glided across the Hall and went to the farthest point in the south.
Taking a sharp U-turn, she kept her pace steady and closed her eyes.
She immediately pictured herself in her Spirit clothes. In a blink of an eye, Ananya transformed back to her normal self and landed elegantly on the aisle.

The crowd burst into cheers as she completed the task successfully.

Suddenly, Ananya realised she didn't have her veil on.

Even though no one noticed her veil missing, Prince Namjoon did.

Before Ananya could cast a veil, she felt a tug on her Spirit Clothes.
She immediately spun around in the direction and met Namjoon's eyes.
Shocked, she cast a veil on herself and turned back to face the throne.
But it was too late.

As Ananya closed her eyes to check the Enchantment, she could see through Namjoon's eyes.
She could even read his thoughts!

This was a nightmare!

Ananya had no clue of how to reverse this without Acharya's help.

"Did she cast the veil on?"
She heard Namjoon's concerned voice in het head.

Ananya closed her eyes and replied,
" I did but I was too late. "

"You are in my mind?"

"Yes."

"You know how to get out?"

"No."

"Just say 'Release the Bond' while thinking of me."

Ananya followed his words.
She thought of him at their first meeting today and whispered,
"Release the Bond."

Sure enough, the Enchantment broke.
She was no more pestering in his mind.
