Gizmo's Corination (A Wanderlings Story) Part 1

I pulled at my mother's dress as she hovered next to the king and queen. She glanced down at me, a smile on her face. Beside me stood a cat-girl with green hair, hugging her arms around her chest to keep warm in the cold weather.
I smiled slightly at Rylan, as the green-haired cat was one of the two teenagers I knew here. She gave a small smile, glancing back out into the crowd below us.
I glanced to the other side of Prince Charming and Cinderella, spotting the two boys, a dirty blond bunny and a blue-haired demon. I met them once before, when I was receiving my wand.
I looked down at the silver wand in my hand, twirling it between my fingers. This wand marked me as a member of the Wanderling council. The three teens around me, plus Fairy Godmother, my mother, all held an Elder wands as well. Now, we have a sixth member joining us.
Fairy Godmother stepped forward, the crowd falling silent below. Everyone in the kingdom was down there, even characters from other stories as well. I spotted several red capes standing amongst the crowd, all of them Wanderlings waiting to welcome a new leader. Most of the capes were in pairs, each with their story partner.
"Welcome everyone here today," My eyes fall upon my mother as she addresses the crowd. "We are all here today to grant an elder wand and welcome a Wanderling who has proven herself several times."
I smiled, thinking of all the ways she changed our worlds. I watch as Cinderella stepped forwards, a glittering blue cape in her hands. "For she has saved stories around from the harm of rouge Wanderlings, she will be honored greatly," the queen said, glancing down below.
I turned my head towards the boys as Prince Charming stepped forward, holding a cushion with a silver wand on top. Both boys stood straight, their eyes scanning the crowd. Beside me, Rylan stood in the same stance, watching for signs of a rogue below.
I glanced down, smiling slightly as I spot Zabella slipping away from the crowd. She stopped for a moment, looking up and meeting my eyes, smiling, before disappearing.
"Sam had a crush~" Rylan whispers beside me, smirking. I shot her a glare, both of us knowing well that I didn't like Zabella like that.
I first met Z when I led her through her first story, shortly after she found out she was a Wanderling. We became friends and started meeting every night, going through a different story each time. One day, a rogue Wanderling attacked us. Z had this crazy plan to capture the Wanderling, something involving fire and a water gun. After the plan was successful, much to my surprise, Zabella earned her code name, Gizmo. From that day on, we started tracking down rogues and capturing them together. Zabella was as close as a sister to me.
"Samuel," Rylan whispered, grabbing my attention as the king stopped speaking. My mother raised her hands, signalling the four of us to step forward.
"Now, I welcome the other council members. Everyone, please welcome Ocean, Foxtail, Phantom, and Eclipse."
The crowd started clapping as the four of us waved. I smiled at Rylan, known as Phantom to everyone else. Each of us had a pair of silver and pale blue wings, along with a diadiem on top of our heads and the same glittering blue capes on our backs as the one the queen held.
When the crowd died down, Fairy Godmother stepped aside, revealing the grand doors behind us. She smiled, raising her hands once more. "Now, I would like to welcome Gizmo."
I watched as Z stepped out of the doors, a nervous smile plastered on her face. She glanced at me, and I smiled at her as she stepped up to the monarchs and the fairy.
Cinderella stepped forward, unfolding the cape, draping it over Z's shoulder. "A reward for your deeds," she says.
Prince Charming held the wand out to my mother who took it in her hands. She held it out to the girl in front of her. Z placed her hand on the center of the wand.
"Do you swear to protect stories with all of your power?"
"I swear," Z replied, meeting my eyes.
"Do you swear to put your duties above all else?"
She hesitates for a moment before nodding. "I swear."
Fairy Godmother takes the wand, tapping it once on each of the young Wanderling's shoulders before tapping her head. The wand sparked in her hands, showering Z. When it cleared, she stood, a diadiem on her head and a pair of wings in her back to match the rest of us. Her wand is handed to her and Z raises it in the air, releasing a silver mist.
The crowd starts to cheer below as Z lowers her wand. She gives me a smile, running over and pulling me into a hug. I tense slightly, not caring for contact as much.
"Oh, the lovebirds," Rylan giggles beside us. Z lefts go of me, spinning on the cat-girl quickly. Rylan laughs, pulling her into a hug. "Welcome to the family."
