The birds chirp louder than the noisiest of children. But. . . I'll admit. . . it is very lovely. Such a serene sound. I get out of my queen-sized bed and make my way to the bathroom. It's kind of ironic with me getting out of a queen-sized bed since I am a princess, soon to be a queen someday. One day. . . Whenever my mother steps down from the throne of the Enchanted Kingdom.

I let the warm water soothe my body as I settle into the tub. After I ready myself, I am to go into the throne room to meet my mother for a lesson. Queen Nivela. But this is no ordinary lesson. She will teach me how to be a witch princess, for I have powers and magic within my grasp. I was born a witch, but not royalty. Mother told me that Lunaleve needed order. It needed to be led. But we had no queen or king. Just an empty castle. But it seemed that this was the only family fit for the role. Mother felt destined to take it. To become royal. No matter the cost. No matter the hardships.

My two older brothers, Aponsay and Juel, didn't really care. As long as they were still able to go into the forest. It's their second home where things are sane. We've had quite a bit of races out there.

My father, Apuru, thought it was a great idea. But of course, this is only because the space would be great for training me to become a strong princess warrior. A strong witch princess warrior. Even though at times I find it pointless, for I do not wish to die in war - they find it smart. They believe even telekinesis has its limits. Although, I don't wish to find out. So for the sake of my warrior training. . . A bow, two small axes, throwing daggers, and a double‐edged sword are put to good use. My witch warrior training is when my powers come into play. Where I draw spells and powers from my core and heart.

But all power must come from a power name. Mine is Enchantment. Which is also my name. Kind of. This name is a blessing and a curse. I draw many men into my presence with my enchanting energy. My power name makes them long to be in my vicinity and for me to like them. Heck, I could have them all someday seeing to my eternal youth and immortality. I am 2,929 years old. For the Men race, I am practically 20 years old. I was born on October 31, 1984 in the Third Age.

I was born in the beautiful moonlight. A nice, breezy night. The moon is my protection. Where I draw the most deadly, strong powers that I can from it. That's one lesson I still have to get to: Moon Magic. Aponsay's power name is Hunter while Juel's power name is Valor. Great names for great brothers. Aponsay is the protective brother while Juel's more laid back. At least they didn't get deadly power names that can lead to jealousy and blood.

I finish washing the soap off and grab a towel. When I'm all dry, I put on a black dress that has a golden belt around the stomach. It has long sleeves and the bottom hits the ground. But it makes up for it with a shimmering finish. I let my silver platinum-like curls hang about. Crazy small curls they are, but plenty of them. Everyone believes my natural hair color is my cool trademark. It surely isn't my eyes. All I have is brown eyes with tiny straight black lines that gradually makes its way from my pupil to almost half of my iris. Usually, it's the girls with bluish‐green eyes that fill the villages and gets noticed. But with my power name, unless they have a very strong desire to ignore me, I'm surely to get noticed too. I walk out onto the balcony and look at the Enchanted Forest. There's no other forest like it. Only one could hope to see how beautiful it is at night when the moon hits it just right. I bask in the sunlight for a few moments more and then make my way to the throne room.
