Hidden Princess

Chapter 31: Training

"Okay we can't sit here and cry all day can we? Let's go and try to make those tiny wings bigger." Elayna said as she got up from the couch with her tears all dried up.

"Yeah, lets make them bigger cause its kind of embarrassing. your wings are all beautiful and stuff, while mine on the other hand, are barely visible." They both left the living room and headed to the backyard. Once there, Tatyana inhaled and exhaled ready to finally unfold her wings.

"Okay sweetheart, you know the drill, just focus and the wings will appear." She said while standing behind her so that she could see the wings appear for the first time.

Okay Taty, just focus. Focus on your wings. She thought as her whole attention was placed on unfolding her wings.

With a loud flap and rustle, her back unfolded two big, beautiful, magnificent, fiery red wings. Elayna let out a gasp as she could not believe what she was seeing. It wasn't because her daughter had finally released her wings, but rather, the color of them. Tatyana still didn't know what was happening as she turned around and looked at her mother, seeing her holding her hand above her mouth.

"Mom, I know seeing your daughter unfold her wings for the first time is a very overwhelming experience to you, but I kind of feel like you're exaggerating on this one. Ooh, do that cloudy thingy of yours so that i can see how my wings look like." She said while clapping her hands in excitement. Elayna snapped out of her daze and opened the all-seeing-eye. As Tatyana looked at the image shown in the collection of clouds, her eyebrows knitted up in a frown. She went behind her mother, looked at her silver wings and then looked back at her fiery red ones.

"Mom, why are my wings a different color from yours?"

"Honey, it's because...you're a full Avalonian fairy. My father once told me that to know a full fairy, you have to look at the color of their wings. If they are a fiery red color like yours, that is definitely a full fairy."

"What's the big deal of being a full fairy? Isn't it just the same as being a normal fairy?"

"Sweetheart, I am a fairy but, only fifty percent and have only fifty percent the powers you have. You on the other hand are one hundred percent a fairy and possess all the powers I don't. Is that easier to understand?" She asked once she was done explaining. Tatyana nodded her head as the information slowly sunk in. She then turned to her mother with a bright smile on her face.

"Well then, show me all the powers I have. I will need them right?" Elayna nodded in agreement to what she said. She moved behind her and placed her hands on top of hers. Ready to teach her how to open the all-seeing-eye. "So now, open your hands like so and wave them in a circular manner. This is the only thing that you need a spell for by the way. For the rest of your powers, you just have to focus on what you are doing, not that you don't need to focus on this one, you also need to focus. Repeat after me.

"With the power in me, I call upon the all-seeing-eye,
  To look at whatever it is that I spy."

Tatyana repeated the same words and slowly a group of clouds started to assemble in the space she had been waving around with her arms. Hmm, let's see what do I want to look at?...ooh! Let me look at what Booker and Lukas are doing right now.

With that, the clouds made an opening and a blue haired man could be seen talking to a man with dark hair.

"I heard that your twins are turning three today, am I right?" Lukas asked while swallowing a spoon of rice. Judging from their surroundings, one could see that they were in the kitchen of the Metuzan castle. Luke had invited him over for lunch so that they could hang out and have a 'man to man' talk as he put it.
