Chapter 2
A Visit To Galatia
Aria’s heart leaped with joy as she discovered Adora waiting for in the parking lot after school. She desperately felt as though she needed a getaway and going to another world seemed like the perfect place.
“Why hello, Princess,” Adora greeted her quietly as Aria approached her.
“Shh!” Aria hushed putting her hand up. “Don’t call me princess here, Adora! Someone might hear you.”
“Of course!” Adora beamed. “And they’ll most likely assume you’re the princess Sleeping Beauty born in another world and sent to live here.”
Aria rolled her eyes but still grinned. “No. They’ll probably just wonder, why i that strange lady is calling that average teenage girl, Princess.”
“You are anything but average, Aria,” the fairy spoke blissfully.
“In this world I am.”
Still beaming, Adora shook her head. “Nonsense, now get in the car.”
Aria eyed the ocean blue convertible with curiosity. “Since when do you drive?”
Adora sighed. “Verna says while I’m here I should try my best to use as little magic as possible. After all, magic is not apart of this world. Verna believes something could go wrong or it may cause unexpected problems if I use magic too much.”
Aria frowned as she opened the car door and sat down in the front seat. “You’ve used magic here before and nothing bad happened.”
“Yes, well, that’s Verna for you, always overly cautious about matters such as this. She believes everything and everyone should be in its proper place. Different worlds such as this one and our world should not mix together, or even different lands in out world like Galatia and Evalius.”
“What’s Evalius?” Aria asked turning her head to look at Adora.
Adora breathed in, realizing that she had spoken too much. “Oh, its just another far away land in our world, nothing for you to concern yourself with. Once you’re queen, all you will need to worry about is Galatia.”
Aria could tell that Adora was intentionally withholding information from her so she asked, “Shouldn’t I be familiar with neighboring lands?”
Adora shifted around in her seat as she drove. “No, it’s not necessary. No one ever goes over there. Like Verna says, its best we each just stay in our own land. Do you know what I mean?”
Not really, Aria thought, but only nodded not seeing much of a point in pressing this matter any further. Maybe a different fairy tale story currently operated in Evalius and her going there would disrupt it or something. Aria supposed it was possible that Rapunzel or Cinderella lived there, but it still did not explain why Adora would be so secretive about this place. After all, Aria was already familiar with most fairy tale stories. She did not see how knowing which story took place in this other land would do anyone any harm.
They arrived at that same empty building at the end of the main road in downtown Norfolk. Adora did end up having to use her magic to get inside the building. Aria went first into the fountain. Since she has done this many times, Aria had grown accustomed to the feeling of getting jerked down by the fountain and then shot right back up by the lake. Sure, it was uncomfortable, but it did not bother her anymore.
Aria remembered the first time she did this. When she got out of the lake, she immediately felt the urge to dry herself off. Now, Aria became use to the fact that she would still be dry as she got out of this enchanted lake. This time, Aria noticed at carriage parked beside the lake. It reminded her of the carriage from Cinderella with its pearl white color and rounded shape.
