The Girl Named Sapphire: The Sorcerer's Return (Book 2)

Unsealing the Memories

"Itachi?" Allen asked as Itachi handed Allen an ear piece.

"Yeah?" Itachi responded sitting on the floor preparing to search the aura of the Nomicon.

"Why did Sapphire say that her chances of being a "queen" was ruined?" Allen asked.

Itachi's eyes shot open. "It's a long story really..."

"A long story how?" Allen asked.

"Sapphire is, as you know, special." Itachi began.

Sapphire rolled over in the bed that Lord Raiden put her in.

"She has a very special energy, that's because of her ability to control ice. Because if ice is going to freeze something it has to freeze around the object. That's why she adjusts her energy every time a certain wave length comes around her. If there is a small energy around a larger energy, the larger energy will wrap around the smaller energy. Therefore her ice like energy will freeze around the larger." Itachi explained.

Sapphire began to toss and turn, unable to become comfortable.

"So what does that have to do with the whole "queen" thing?" Allen asked.

Ice began to form around her bed, almost like her breath alone could freeze something. She began to lose control in her sleep.

"Sapphire was meant to be something known as the Ice Queen. But, the Phoenix King from the Land of Flames attacked her kingdom, and her mom and her escaped to the mortal world. Her mom blocked her memory of the Phoenix king so she wouldn't seek revenge." Itachi explained.

"So how does she remember it happening?" Allen asked.

"That she wasn't supposed to be the princess at all. But you see, her ice power is growing and growing every day. Eventually, the ice will take over her completely. The only way to stop it is to have the Phoenix king take it from her?"

"Sapphire, I brought you something warm to eat, do you want it?" Lord Raiden asked approaching the door to the room she was staying in. When she didn't answer, he knocked on the door. "Sapphire, are you okay?"

Sapphire's breathing became heavy. The whole floor was covered in a sheet of ice, no the whole room was covered in a layer of ice. Sharp icicles hung from the ceiling.

Lord Raiden tried to open the door but couldn't due to it being frozen from the inside. "Sapphire?!" Lord Raiden dropped what he was holding trying to get the door open. He backed up and rammed the door open slipping on the ice when he entered the room. Sapphire shot up from the bed waking up instantly. When she woke up the ice began to disappear.

Sapphire shivered and rubbed her arms up and down trying to get herself warm. Her teeth chattered, and goose bumps appeared up and down her arms.

"They say that the Phoenix king had a son as well." Itachi continued.

"What happened to the son?" Allen asked.

"Well, some say he died, others say his father killed him." Itachi shook his head. "No, I think he's still out there. When he comes of age, his power will take over him and he'll be known as the Lost Prince."

"Sapphire? What's going on?" Lord Raiden rushed to Sapphire's side, quickly backing away from her because of the piercing cold air around her.

Lord Raiden looked down at his long cape that showed what Elder he was. The bottom half of his cape was frozen with a thin ice.

"Raiden, stay away from me." Sapphire swiped her arm. Uncontrollably she struck him with ice. She looked up at him finding him pinned to the wall, up off the ground, by sharp ice shards. The ice shards stuck into the sleeves of his under jacket, and long pants holding him up.
