WHATT! Cleo is a princess.. I still can't believe my ears.

The weird guy with a staff is her father and the turquoise haired guy is her brother!? And they ruled a magical kingdom? The one which can't be seen by the world unless revealed by a citizen.....WOW! I have always dreamt of being in such a kingdom. 

I need to have a conversation with Cleo....yeah... The magician said he and his father had been ousted from the Kingdom.....I wonder why.But first.... The children! Where are they! I need to ask about them.

"Hey! I love the royal talk going on here but first tell us where the children of Mystic Mint Ville are." "Why do you care about those snotty kids" the magician said rudely

"Hey!" This time it was Cleo."Don't you dare address my friends this way."

Actually thinking about it....she totally acts like a queen.

The magician sighed and said "Our father's spell backfired and the children went missing when he decided to entrance you. Must be a result of the locket you were wearing."

Cleo

"What does my locket have to do with all this? " I asked. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was a princess. Need to talk to Alvin and Ryker about this.

My so called brother scoffed and replied" That's the cause of all our problems. The locket you wear is not an ordinary one. It is our family heirloom and the key to access our magical kingdom."

My locket, what? I' ve had this forever! My warden told me that I had it on me when I had showed up for the first time. On the doorstep of the orphanage. Many parents left their kids something that belonged to them...but it was mostly handed over by the relatives....

Now thinking about it I do feel that it's a bit strange that I had it on me from the beginning..

"And why should I help you with this when I had no connection to the crown till date. Why now? And more importantly why me?"

This time my father answered " Because it is the solution to both our problems... We would get to enter our kingdom where we were unfairly ousted and since all the magic we hold comes from the Kingdom we would be able to trace the children."

"So when do we begin?" I asked "Tomorrow " my  father said "Rest well today. The elf would be there if you need anything" He added. "And-" "The dwarf went back home if that's what you are asking ." The magician said.

How did he- how did he read my mind?

I nodded and walked out, questions swirling in my head.... Who am I ?

The elf showed us our rooms. They were magic... they simply appeared out of nowhere. My room looked exactly like the place I was searching for right now... My cozy, comforting room at the orphanage I grew up in... I longed to go back there again... I missed everyone.

 I missed everyone

Cleo's room

End of pov (for now)

A hand reached out towards Cleo's sleeping figure.... Reached across her neck towards her locket. As soon as it touched the locket, a sudden zap of energy pushed it away. The figure hissed in pain and left...

Cleo thought she heard someone but was too lost in her dreamworld to even think...
