Princess of the North

Fresh Start New Duty! (Part 2)

"Jun, thanks for everything! I'm really glad you're here, but I'm wondering what my duty is?" I questioned, already eager to start my mission.

"Well, for now, you'll stay here for training. Then when you're ready, we'll start looking for the other princesses... but in all honestly, the Princess of the North is the most important." Jun smiled down at me.

"And why is that?" I asked in pure curiousity. What could make my role so important?

"Because it is said that the Princess of the North is like the north star— the north star that guides everyone to the right path, the star that gives people hope and direction... isn't it admirable?" Jun replied, his eyes shadowed with an emotion I can't decipher.

He really is amazing! But in this realm... I'm left out, I'm not strong, I'm not unique— I'm normal. The only thing that's amazing is that I always have a neutral face no matter what and that I have a neutral tone too! But I guess having these powers are amazing as well.

"Jun, you're two years older than me, right?" I asked.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm two years older than you." Jun confirms my doubt.

Hold up, there's something wrong here... I sense power, and too much of it.

"Sorry, I need to go somewhere." I said, before followed the source of the power.

"Hey!" Jun shouted as he followed closely behind me.

"Hey there, little girl. It's dangerous here, so leave!" A boy said.

"Who are you?" I queried.

"I'm Shou, Shou Shimizu, 16 years old. This girl's my sister, Shiori Shimizu, 16 years old. We're twins." Shou introduced, his eyes staring straight into mine with confidence.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, keeping my defenses up.

"We aren't from this world, we are from the Sorcerers Realm, our enemies are the enchanters." Shiori said, glaring at me as if I've done something unforgiveable.

"Then shouldn't you be the ones to leave? I live here and I won't let you destroy this place." I shouted at them, my hands balled into a fist as I struggled to keep my anger at bay.

"You're one of them?!" Shiori asked, looking shocked.

Shou smirks and moves closer. "Then, I'm sorry, but we'll have to destroy everyone who sees us here, and of course people who gets in our way!" Shou said, then attacked me.

"Fire ball!" I attacked.

"Water wave." Shiori countered.

"You have powers?" I asked.

So, even they have powers. It's not only us?

"Yes, my power is water, and his is fire." Shiori said, grinning.

"Earth spikes! Fire spin! Water whip! Hurricane! Combine!" I ordered the elements.

"T-that's impossible!" Shou shouted and tried to stop the attack.

"Go!" I whispered.

"Kyaaa!" Shiori shouted, since my attacks didn't stop moving towards her.

"I beg of you, stop this!" Shou shouted, as he tried to get a grab of Shiori.

"Stop!" I stopped all the attacks.

"Y-you have this much power?!" Shiori asked, but now she was yelling.

"Tell me, what are you looking for?" I asked, getting my attacks ready, but just to frighten them a bit.

"To look for the Princess of the North, we need her and her power, then after we get her, we look for the other princesses." Shou said.

They need me? For what reason?!

"Why do you seek her so desperately?" I pried, my heart hammering against my chest as I got closer to figuring out my importance.

"She's the key we're missing. If the other supernatural beings find out about her, they'll try to get to her too. And that would be the end of our kind. It was quite unfair that the princess was born as an enchanter and not a sorcerer. Things might've been easier for us," Shou openly replied, his sister elbowing him after he disclosed so much information.

"But what role does she even play? She may turn out to be an ignorant and ordinary person." I stated.

Shiori rolls her eyes at my questions. "Fine, I'll tell you why. After all, we'll make sure to get rid of you." She muttered under her breath.

"She is the part we're missing. Once we capture her, we can find the other princesses. Actually, we don't even need the other princesses as long as we have her. Her powers are the strongest in the entire Magic Realm and nothing can stop her. Once we force her to become our allies, no one can defy us anymore." Shiori explained, acting as if this was common knowledge.

This means I shouldn't expose my identity no matter what. Or else all of the enchanters would be in danger. Even Earth might be in danger.

"Flaming dragon! Water dragon!" The two of them suddenly attacked to me without any warning.

"Reflecting shield." I yelled.

"Stop." Shou commanded his attacks.

I see, if it's their attack, they could stop it. If it's other people's attack, they can't stop it. It makes sense.

"We'll leave for now, but don't expect us to lose next time. Bye!" Shou said while grinning.

"Guess I'll see you again. You'll be meeting death the next time around." Shiori smirked as she promised useless stuff.

Well, it is going to be hard, but saving everyone is going to be my plan. As long as I, and the other princesses don't get caught, then things should be okay.
