The Prince leads you through the complex hallways of the tree-castle. He finally gets to a balcony that overlooks the ballroom where the celebration is being held. He motions for the four of you to also be on the balcony. So You, Grace, Erin, and Kaija all get on the balcony behind him.

You can see the whole ballroom, there are a lot of people; elders, adults, teens, kids, toddlers, babies, girls, and guys. Each person has their own distinct glow to them as well as their own unique wings. You and your friends don't have any wings, but even though you guys aren't magical or anything, you guys each have your own special glow. They are different from the pixies, but you can't really explain why. Grace with her fierce blue glow, Erin with her regal pink glow, Kaija with her soothing purple glow, and you with your soft green glow. The pixies are all wearing dresses and suits just like you guys and The Prince, but their clothing isn't as elegant and majestic as you and your friends'.

The typical trumpets sound for when a royal person is being introduced or something. Then everyone in the ballroom stops and gives their attention to the Prince.

"Greetings my fellow Piskterians. I am so glad that you could make it to this Grand Celebration today," Prince Adalric says in a confident voice.

The crowd applauds.

"Now you're probably wondering, why are we having a grand celebration? Well, the reason for that is that we have visitors from the world above. And if you still don't know, the last time we've had visitors was 300 years ago. So its quite rare to have visitors, and that is the reason why we are having a celebration," Prince Adalric says. "Now I will introduce you to the visitors,"

The Prince steps to the side to show you guys standing behind him. The crowd claps and cheers.

"Lady Kaija!" Prince Adalric says.

Kaija curtsies as the crowd claps and cheers.

"Lady Erin!" Prince Adalric says.

The crowd cheers and claps as Erin curtsies.

"Lady Grace!" Prince Adalric says.

Grace curtsies and the crowd cheers and claps.

"And finally, Queen (Y/n)!" Adalric declares.

You are confused as to why he said Queen instead of Lady. If anyone was to be called Queen, it would be Erin. The crowd seems to clap and cheer louder for you than for your friends.

You look at your friends who seem just as confused as you.

"Now, now," Prince Adalric says hushing the crowd, "'Queen' (Y/n) isn't a princess in the world above, but here, and today, I hope she'll accept the name Queen of Pisktera,"
"What?" You say totally confused.

Prince Adalric walks over to you and goes down on one knee. He takes out a box and opens it, inside is a beautiful gold ring with a red ruby gem the shape of a flower on it with smaller gems around it.

"Lady (Y/n), Will you take on the role of being the new Queen of Pisktera along with me as the King?" Prince Adalric asks.
"Wait, what?" You say still confused.
The Prince smiles, "Will you marry me?"

Everyone in the room gasps as the Prince asks the question. You look at your friends, they all seem shocked as you. Their hands are covering their mouths.

"(Y/n)," They all breath out.
"(Y/n)," Prince Adalric says bringing your attention back to him.
"I-I, uh," You stutter.
You sigh, "I-I-I'm sorry, but I c-can't accept, I have to refuse. I truely am sorry. I-it's just that if I accept, I will have to stay here forever and I can never go back home, and I-I. . . Love someone else. I am so sorry."
"What?" The Prince says confused as he lowers the ring and stands back up.
"(Y/n). . ." You friends all say.

You expect the Prince to be heartbroken, but his reaction surprises you.

"I don't like to repeat myself (Y/n), you know this. You will take on the role of being the new Queen of Pisktera along with me as the King. Otherwise, as your husband," The Prince says in a threatening voice.
"But I-I can't," You say.
"It doesn't matter," Prince Adalric says. "In the end, the Prince always gets the Princess. And the princess is you, (Y/n). I will keep you in jail so you can never run away from me."
"But what good will I be if I'm in jail?" You ask suddenly frightened of The Prince.
"It won't matter if you're jail or not, as long as your my queen, my bride, my wife, my love." Prince Adalric answers. "Guards! Arrest them!"

The guards leap into action and try to restrain you and your friends.

"Go!" Grace shouts.

She grabs Erin and jumps off the balcony into the crowd. Kaija does the same with you. Their demon and angel powers prevent them from getting too hurt.

"Let's go!" Grace says.

The four of you run out of the castle.

"What are you waiting for? Go get them!" Prince Adalric demands.

The guards go after You, Grace, Erin, and Kaija.

Once you guys are out of the castle you say

"If we grow bigger we'll cover more ground and get away faster," You say.
"But how will we get bigger?" Erin asks.
"Uh, hello? (Y/n) can do magic," Kaija points out.
"Oh yeah," Erin says.
"But I can only do it on me, I don't know what will happen if I do it on someone else, or multiple people at once," You say.
"There they are!" A guard shouts.
"(Y/n), at least try, we don't have much time!" Grace says.
"Alright," You reply.

You concentrate on the magic, it's coming more easily and naturally to you. You target you and your friends.

"Magic around me, help us rise, by changing us back to our normal larger size," You say.

The four of you then grow larger.

"Great job (Y/n)," Grace says.
"I knew you could do it!" Kaija says.
"Thanks, but let's get going. Hurry!" You say.

You and you friends run to the stairs, but the guards also grow and chase after you guys. Since they are trained, they are much faster and start gaining on you guys.

"Crap! They're fast!" Grace says.
"(Y/n) can you do anything? Because we can't fight!" Erin says.
"Let me try," You say.

Once again you target you and your friends.

'Give us speed so we can be fast, so that we won't have to fight and can escape at last,' You think to yourself.

Then all of a sudden, you, Grace, Erin, and Kaija all start running super fast, way faster than the guards could ever be. You guys quickly zip up the stairs. At the top, the cieling is exactly like the floor design from the top. So you guys take out your orbs and put them into the holes that they belong in. Just like before, the circlular pattern shifts back and forth and soon there's a giant hole in the middle which you and your friends can fit through. You guys take your orbs out which causes the circle to start closing up again. But before it closes, You, Grace, Erin, and Kaija all swiftly slip out; And you can just barely see the guards as the circlular pattern closes up.
