"Hey Piggy," Akrodonis' voice spoke up. She rolled her eyes and folded her arms over her chest. Leaning her weight on her right leg. "Quit that,it's not cute." She said. A satisfied look polluted his face. As if he wanted such a reaction. "Atleast you have something in common with it,"

She gasped, utterly offended. "I'll have you know,by the age of 6,I already won 2 beauty pageants!" That was a complete lie. Her childhood friend was a literal frog. She wasn't the best at comebacks. She would say the most random thing, only to get her more embarrassed. If anything ,she was just roasting herself.

After that , a childish banter anwed between the two. She had already forgotten why she was here and along with her morals. Her hands were all over the place as she demonstrated how she would kill Akrodonis. He looked at her with a small smirk on his face,still on the door. The girl kneeling on the floor as her hands punched the wood. Which in her mind ,was Akrodonis.

"General Y," Someone spoke out. Estella froze on the spot,her hand mid air. She would try and punch the floor so it could swallow her whole but that would be too much effort. Quickly,and absolutely mortified she stood up and dusted of her dress.

From the lack of horns, Estella knew that they were common Sylvans. A bodyguard and maid , Estella guessed from their outfits. They both seemed to brush of what she did,faces neutral. "Heiress," They both said,nodding their heads in respect. Estella flustered at that and did a little curtsy. In an instant she went tripping and quickly Akrodonis caught her.

Coughing out of akwardness she swiftly removed herself from his hands. Still a little mad at him. "Should we get this done and dusted with?" Akrodonis called out before looking back to Estella.

"This is Balgrok," he paused, motioning towards the male Sylvan with black hair. Every male seemed to have black hair around here. "And this is Glacies," He pointed to the female. Estella nodded and tried her utmost best to look professional.

"They will be helping to get you zipped." He announced. Inwardly,she jumped up and down. Soon she will be able to obtain powers. This is so unreal for her. Something so surreal and just unbelievable. As much as she loved being an adult she couldn't refuse she was just as childish at heart.

The Sylvans lead Estella inside the room.

"Next time you acknowledge her first." Akrodonis roughly said to the commoners behind Estella. She would reprimand him for being so rude but her eyes were just to focused on the room.

It looked rather traditional. The decor was absolutely different from the rest of the building. From the time she had been here ,all she saw was royal themed furniture. Now it was just antique vibes. Yes antique.

Okay ,if she is being honest,it looked like a room where they'd kill someone in means of a sacrifice. It looked absolutely sketchy.

"This will be quick and rather painful. You won't enjoy this but fortunately I will," Akrodonis chimmed after a while of Estella looking around. She ignored his comment and faced Glacies ,"It will be painful? Like how much pain we talkin'?" She asked. Her pain tolerance was a little good but the line drew when it came to menstrual cramps. "I don't know how it feels,but the king took it pretty okay. I'm sure you'll be right fine , heiress." Glacies informed.

She nodded and gave her a smile.

The next few minutes consisted of a heavy conversation. Estella was finally being informed on what will happen. What she understood was that a ritual will be done. It was rather giving her some creepy vibes but she let it slide.

"Exactly how will this be painful?" She asked. She was sitting on her knees,the two Sylvans sitting crossed legged infront of her. Their clothing was now of black cloaks and the bouquet of black flowers Z'imi gave her was on the middle of them. Akrodonis was at the far corner of the room, observing quietly.

"With all due respect heiress,you are asking way to many questions." Balgrok said. Estella was taken aback but obediently nodded. "Of course,I'm sorry." She apologized.

"We shall begin." With that the two Sylvans started chanting in low voices. She understood nothing of it. She didn't know what to do so she just copied as they closed their eyes. The chants getting louder. It reminded her of when Astrid chanted so they could open a portal.

Was the same technique he used being used here as well? How far do these powers of the Sylvans really go? And didn't Z'imi say that commoners don't have powers?

No!

She was overthinking this. Way too much. At the back of her mind,she noted about asking Z'imi about this later. Maybe she knows something. It's only right for Estella to know how her future subjects work,right?

Right?

As much as she loved adventurous things ,this was getting to much. The chants just got faster and it felt like ages since she'd been kneeling down. Her legs were getting numb but she was doubting that what ever was happening would end. Atleast no pain has occurred unless she wouldn't be able to indure--

As if the universe was listening, suddenly a shock of pain anwed through her wrist. In an instant , Estella let out a loud scream. The pain so intense,so quickly. Her eyes shot open but all she could see was darkness. Fear crept inside of her as tears mindlessly dripped out of her eyes.

"A-astrid!" She shouted. She mind couldn't fathom why she said that. It was as if he was her bodies 9-1-1 call. Alas ,the call was absolutely useless because nothing happened. Nothing changed.

It felt like forever until the pain suddenly stopped. She sighed out but it got caught through her throat because suddenly she needed air to breath. Taking a deep breath, her eyes opened and body jerked up.

Balgrok and Glacies were right infront of her ,having huge smiles. Confusing her even more. What the heck just happened? She thought.

"You've just got zipped!"

"General X, we are short of 34 seats." A helper informed Astrid. It was a busy day for the castle. Today was the day the king and the warriors would come back from war. It was traditional to host a dinner consisting of every Sylvan in the kingdom. It was a hard job considering there were over 5,000. Although as second command,he was determined to do it. The king did leave the kingdom in his hands. Astrid vowed to make sure the king comes back to a stable kingdom.

He would just hope they come back with good news. If they didn't atleast a certain someone would cheer them up.

No one knew of Estella yet. No one as in the subjects of the kingdom. Everyone in the castle knew her and what she came here for but most of them didn't know what she looked like. Only a hand full of people. It was yet to be a surprise and Astrid saw the dinner as a perfect way to announce her arrival.

"General?" The helper voiced out,once again. Only then did he realise his mind was roaming somewhere else. Or perhaps,someONE else.

"Speak." He ordered. The helper cleared her throat. "We are short of 34 seats." She explained. Astrid thought for a second. "There are more seats in the storage room . Get them and hurry up. Our time is slowly depleting." As soon as he stopped talking the helper rushed away. He felt somewhat a little bad for being rough and rude. But with Sylvans, you have to be. They tend to be a little reballious sometimes. Asserting dominance is needed.

He looked ahead of himself. Observing as the helpers ran around. It was outside ,at the backyard of the castle. Hundreds of tables placed all around the grass. Those tables were beautifully decorated and now meals were being placed on the tables. 

Everything was going well. Subjects were slowly filling up and the work decreased. He had a good feeling about today.
