~A week later
"See you later Mother! Father! Going through the portal!" I call behind me as I hover quickly through the castle hallways, through the main part, up the stairs and into my room.
"Be careful!" I hear them call up after me.
"I will!" I call back.
I open my window and fly out, slowly floating down to the courtyard below it. The courtyard is one of my most favorite places within the castle walls. There is a giant fountain in the center surrounded by flowers my mother and I carefully grew together. Several of my guardsmen are wondering around here and several of our maids as well, tidying up the gardens in all four corners.
As each one sees me, they bow to me and either say, "Good day, Princess Star," or "Hello, Your Majesty,". I do a curtsey bow back to each of them as I pass by.
The portal is opened in the corner closest to my bedroom window here in the courtyard. It leads to one of the secret spots Ike showed me when we first met. The thought of that day makes a smile appear on my face as the portal comes into view. It is one of those fuzzy ones where you can see the world it leads to. It is about as tall and wide as a door with a black fuzzy border indicating it is powered by dark magic, my mother's magic.
I jump through it once I approach it and feel the world spinning around me. I remember feeling this feeling the first time I fell through one of these. The more I go through them though, the better I get at controlling how I fall.
Not far from making it through, I flip myself where my feet are falling first and then the darkness that I am seeing is replaced by bright blue sky and the shadows from the forest. I feel the spinning world around me stop as I slow myself. I descend from the sky down to the ground, delicately, landing softly onto my feet. I turn behind me and the portal stands there identical to the one I just jumped through in my castle courtyard.
It's so strange how I fall from the sky when I go through these, but they stand a foot above the ground.
I look around and faintly hear the sounds of blades clashing together.
That must be Lucina and her father in their courtyard.
I shove myself up into the air and follow the sounds to the entrance of this Ylisse Castle. Lucina's guards nod to me as I pass by them, entering the castle courtyard right after the main doors. In the furthest section within the courtyard, I see Lucina and her father practicing. I decide to watch for a bit before I greet them.
Lucina is blocking her father's swings. They are expertly thrown at her and each one she blocks exceptionally. Each swing is quick and accurate, and some moves include them throwing their blades into the air and then jumping up to catch it to attack on the way down.
