ARTEMIS ACADEMY

TRIANDA PENDI (τριάντα πέντε)

Nixie's Point of View;

I woke up from the light that struck my face. Is it morning already?

"Wake up your royal Highness." somebody said and I knew who it was. I stand up and smiled at him. It was Levington Cray.

After the 'little' war as what he said he asked for my hand in front of many people. He did it after the announcement made. He did it when my mother who is the Queen of Artemis told them everything and she told everyone that I'll be the next Queen if I wanted to but for now I want to enjoy my life with this young man. He confessed after I woke up from my 'beautiful' sleep as what he also said.

He hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"Good morning." I told him and he smiled at me.

"Breakfast is served downstairs or you want to have breakfast in bed?" he asked and I pulled away from his hug.

I saw a black ball gown hanging on my door. It was the ball gown Mom gave me after the announcement. I still don't wear gowns because I want comfort wherever I go. I went inside the bathroom and fixed myself. I wore a white long sleeved turtle neck under a black hoodie, a black ripped jeans, a boots and a thick coat for the weather here. It was winter here in Artemis City though in the country where I live on earth, we don't have winter. We only has sunny and rainy days.

I also wore a black bonnet for my head and wore a gloves. It was really cold here. Levington was wearing a white long sleeves under a black sweater, a black jeans, boots, gloves and a coat. Both our coats reaches our knees.

"Let's go?" he asked and I nodded.

He opened the door for me and we walked together on the palace's hallway.

"Later, we will be going to the mystic garden. We will be gardening on the palace garden just like what you wanted to do." he said and smiled at me so I smiled back.

"Are the others coming over? I haven't seen them for a while." I told him with the thought of spending a great time with Serafina and the others.

"I'll tell them if you want. Though I'm not sure about Tyler. He said he has some training to do in their house."

"Black magic?" I asked and he nodded to my question.

"What else is there for him to train for?" he asked and I laughed with a different thought in my head.

"He should train in order to capture Henrietta's heart. I heard he's having a hard time."

Serafina told me how Tyler was having a hard time getting Henrietta's heart. Everybody knows how stone hearted and ice cold that girl is. No one even dared to confess to her even if they like her. She's likeable in my opinion and her mysteriousness adds up to her charm. I guess that is why Tyler also fell for her.

"He doesn't need any. He'll be good on his own." Levington said and we both laughed to our hearts content before finally stopping.

We arrived at the dining table and the others were there. Mom decided to let the others live here in the palace together with us. On the end is my father, King Nicolai and on the other end is my Mother, Queen Nestle. On his right is King Paolo. Headmaster Cray was seated next to Ms. Farrah or should I call her Aunt Farrah now? Next to Aunt Farrah is Queen Katrina and next to her is Karina and last is a vacant table. On my Dad's is Tyler Edwards. Next, is Madison Davis, then, Serafina Strife.

I sat to the chair next to Karina and she smiled at me. Levi sat across me. We started eating and left the castle afterwards. As to what Levi said we went to the mystic garden. It was so pretty. Add up the butterflies that keeps on flying around with their beautiful colors. I loved it! There were also pixie flying freely around the area.

"We shouldn't disturb them here." Levi told me when we saw how the creatures were having a wonderful time with just themselves.

"Spot on, Levi. Should we just go to the palace garden now?" I suggested because we were also scheduled to visit the palace garden.

A gardener takes care of the garden usually but for today, we decided to give him a time off. I have heard how he spent most of his life taking care of the majestic palace garden for the Kane family. I just thought, he should have some free time too. It's bad to work ourselves to death. It won't make us die in peace.

Just like what I said, we went to the palace garden. Levi and I started by cultivating the soils and watering the plants.

"Some pixies wanted to help in watering the plants." Levi said when I saw a bunch of pixies flying around.

"Can they also do those?" I asked with amusement in my voice.

"Yeah, there are tons of different pixies with their assigned roles. These are water pixies that specializes in anything that connects to water."

I nodded to his explanation and stared at awe while the water pixies does their job. It was amazing how their little hands can summon water and shower the flowers with it.

"Thank you, see you for another time." Levi bid them a farewell when they finished showering the plants with enough water for their life cycle.

When the pixies left, we started planting all sorts of flowers. Rose, dandelions, sunflower, larkspur and those stuffs. It was so fun doing them. Who knew that planting would be this fun?

I stared at my surroundings right now. It is still wonderful to look at. This is my life after what happened. My life after the crazy war between them. I also often visit Elisha on a protected island. She was sent there for her punishment because she betrayed the magic world, but at least that didn't hurt her. She was only banished from the magical world. I wonder how she is doing.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" Levi asked when I stayed silent for a while.

"Nothing much. I just think that I'm so lucky to be here with you today." I said and smiled at him.

This is what I call life. Nothing can beat this anymore.
