Three years later

   I took a deep breath and exhaled, holding my breath in my mouth to avoid small movements as much as possible so I could aim at my target with more precision. When I was sure that the arrow would hit where I wanted, I let it go and it hit right in the middle of the target, I looked at my father with a smile.

"It's great. You are a good learner. However, you have to continue training to-"

"To become stronger and stronger. I understood." I took another arrow and aimed at my target, I managed to hit another arrow next to the previous one and the other two arrows.

"And what do you think about using fire now?" he asked as he opened his hand making a flame appear in his hand. I took another arrow and this time when I aimed I concentrated to make a flame appear on the arrow's blade and then I released it. Once again, I hit the target in the middle, but this time over another arrow where I ended up cutting it in half and setting the target on fire as it was made of straw. "And now.." I heard my father's voice in a low tone, I stretched my hand forward and absorbed all the fire from the target and the arrow, the black smoke that was coming out of the target disappeared." Very well, I think that You no longer need my monitoring every day, train yourself to improve your skills." He held my shoulders which made me look into his brown eyes, the same as my half brother, Filipe "Don't forget, the fire can take the form of whatever you want, just imagine. You are a powerful guardian, I believe you can use your power much better than your father.

"Nothing like that, your majesty is still much stronger than me." I bowed, the playful tone in my voice was evident.

"Stop playing around and go change your clothes, I imagine your guests are almost here." I said goodbye to him and walked through the palace corridors until I reached my room where I quickly took off my training clothes and hid them in a trunk where I knew no one would touch them. Now wearing only a thin, white underwear dress, I called my maids to prepare my bath and help me get dressed.

   I only had two personal maids who served only me, Lisey and Marillyn. While Lisey went to prepare my bath, Marillyn combed my hair, which was full of knots.

"How long do I have until my guests arrive?" I asked while observing my reflection in the mirror, my wavy red hair was all messed up because of training and the wind in the garden, I had dark circles under my eyes which made the green color appear darker.

"We still have an hour, your highness." she responded with her attention focused on my hair, her hands were careful as they combed my hair, as if it were something very precious.

   Once my hair was done, Lisey helped me shower while Marillyn picked out a dress for me to wear and accessories for my hair. I sighed as soon as my feet touched the hot water, I sat in the bathtub and let Lisey wash my hair while I relaxed with the temperature and the smell of roses that Lisey had put in the water, some bath salts that have been very fashionable in the neighboring country, Myrthoria.

   We had a very old alliance between five kingdoms, together we had participated in many adventures and fights side by side, it was like that with our ancestors and we continue with a great alliance and harmony between everyone. And today I was going to have a tea party with the princesses from the other kingdoms since they came accompanied by their parents who had a meeting with my father.

   Each kingdom had a specialty, mine was Magic, the kingdom of Myrthoria specialized in hygienic products and among others, bath salts with exceptional smells, perfumes with pleasant odors that could last up to two days, soaps, skin creams had many Amazing things. It was also very beautiful and it was a kingdom where it was very hot. Drakniis, the northernmost kingdom, was an extremely cold kingdom and known for the impressive mythical creatures it contained, some sweet and others more aggressive. I've heard stories of people seeing ice dragons there, which would be our natural enemies if dragons weren't so peaceful with other dragons. The royal family of Drakniis were also guardians, but they were guardians of ice. I don't know the story well but I know that if we combined our powers with theirs it would be something very powerful and even beautiful. Eldhor was the westernmost kingdom, a very beautiful kingdom that besides being just a little colder than Bandohr and of course not reaching the temperatures of Drakniis, it was a powerful kingdom where its specialty was warriors, they were extremely strong and they had the best training of all. One day I would be sent there to train new fighting techniques. And finally the Celestia kingdom, which was in the center of all the other kingdoms, was a very beautiful kingdom known for the wonderful food they had, I've already eaten some sweets from there and they are simply exceptional.
