Side Story: Visiting the Princess by Aria, The Goddess of Creation – part 1.1
1614 Words
The Princess followed Seya’s guidance and she increased the Magic gathered on her hand. Slowly, but steady until she could maintain a bigger amount of the same continuous brightness of Magic on her hand. “... Here... it’s difficult... but not so much... like before”
“Let it disperse... good... again!... There... more... perfect!”
Princess Heiji was starting to sweat from the effort that she was putting on not losing focus. “...This... will make... a big Fire... Ball... right?”
“Stop it now...great. Now, if you continue training, in a few months, you can do this... ‘Fire shot!’ ... With more training, this... “Heat Blow!” And next... “Fire Spread!” And this amazing one, “Fire Spear!”
The Princess was astonished when she saw such beautiful and what it seemed, so powerful Magics. She wanted to do that! “Oh... amazing! I can do that if I train?”
“Yes, I believe you can. And after you can make all this, we will start doing Magic Battles outside, okay?”
“Ah, that will be so cool! I will be a Fighting Fire Princess!”
“Let’s continue the training, okay?”
…
Two years later, Seya arrived again with his mother at the Palace, after more than six months travelling everywhere throughout the Kingdom. They rushed to the Palace because Anna Hinamoto got news that the King wanted to see both of them.
When they entered the Throne Room, the King did his usual greeting every time that they went to the Palace, for the last two years, by getting up and holding Anna’s hands. “Young Seya, welcome. Hello, Anna Hinamoto, I hope everything is well with you.”
Anna smiled, and said, “Yes, my King, I received notice that my King wished to see us. We came as soon as we could, I am sorry if we kept my King waiting.”
“It wasn’t an emergency, the Princess was just too eager to see the young Seya. Care to accompany me? She is in the back yard, with the Royal Mages.”
Seya was puzzled. “With the Royal Mages?”
“Yes, she’s already fighting 1vs3 in a battle. They can’t match her… see for yourselves!”
When Seya entered the back yard where the Princess was training with the Royal Mages, he saw a Mage flying through the air, being pushed by a huge Fire Ball against a nearby tree. “Ouch!…”
Princess Heiji was already eight years old and she has been steadily practising her Magic for the last two years, as Seya taught her.
“Next! Put a little more of a fight, guys! This is getting boring!”
One Royal Mage was gathering his Magic, it was his turn. “But Princess, we are trying… “Oh, Water from…”
“Fire Spear!”
The Royal Mage didn’t have time to finish his chant, the Princess threw a powerful Fire Magic that pinned him to the Castle wall by his Robe. He stayed there, hanging at three meters from the ground, while the Princess was looking victorious at him with her both hands on her waist. A fluffy waist, because the Princess was wearing a beautiful Princesse’s dress, completely white.
It was a strange image, seeing a battle between a Mage with a Robe and a Staff and a little girl in a dress, and the Mage could only complain from the pain, while hanging, “Ouch!...”
Princess Heiji shouted. “Next!”
Seya was already twelve years old and he immediately took one step forward while raising one arm. “Me!”
“Big brother! Here, catch! Fire Spear!… Fire Shot!”
As soon as the Princess saw Seya, she was so excited to show off that she immediately threw two powerful and very destructive Magics.
Seya calmly created a Water Wall that completely destroyed the two Fire Magics. “||...Water…creating Wall…|| “You need to do better than that!”
“Ah, what about if I…”
While the Princess was still talking, Seya had already confined her inside a birdcage made of water. And after that, he made the cage collapse. “||…Water cage around…and…||"
Splash!
“Hey, that was mean! I am all wet!”
“Do you want to continue, or shall I freeze you next? Or throw some mud on top of you?” ...||” EarthBall... ready ...||”
Seya was showing an evil smile while holding a huge ball made of mud. It was earth from the ground gathered on top of his hand, mixed with some Water Magic.
Princess Heiji quickly shook her hands. “No! Stop! I forfeit! You are going to ruin my dress!”
“It’s your fault, doing Magic battles in a dress... stupid Princess”
“Big brother, you meanie!”
“Now, what do I do with this Earth Ball? Here, catch!”
As soon as Seya threw the huge mud ball that he was holding, the Princess panicked, fearing for her favourite dress. Without losing more time, she started to create a Wall to protect her dress, similar to the one that Seya used.
But her Wall was made of Fire! “Fi...Fire Wall!”
“Very good! Quick thinking! Since when can you do a Fire Wall?”
Princess Heiji was smiling, she was safe from all that mud! “It’s the first time! I was trying to make a wall to defend myself like you did!”
“Great! But can you do it again?” ...||”Earth Ball...throw... more Earth balls...||”
The Princess immediately created the same Wall, but she needed to stop the continuous attacks that Seya was throwing, so she did what he did to her. Turned him into a bird in a cage! “Fire Wall!” ... “Fire Cage!”
Seya looked around to his brand-new Fire Cage where he was confined, appreciating the well-done Magic. “Oh, now it’s me inside a cage? Is this new?”
“Yes... I... tried to do what you did!”
“You did it just by imitating me? So cool! Come here, I want to hug you, my amazing Little Sister! I am so proud of you!”
Princess Heiji dispersed the Fire Cage and she rushed to hug him while laughing. “Heheheheh!”
The Royal Mages that were watching them fight, were amazed by that demonstration of High-Level Magics. Some of which they spent years to learn and the Princess learned and executed perfectly in a matter of seconds. “So young... both of them... such power!”
King Rohan was speechless the entire fight because he was so surprised that he lost his voice. While they were still hugging and Seya was gently caressing Heiji’s head, he recovered. “That was... unbelievable! My daughter... I didn’t know you could do that!”
“Me neither, father! But I had to stop Seya, he was going to ruin my dress!”
Seya was nodding his head with a weird smile, he had an idea. “If you were able to do two new Magics just to protect your dress, I wonder what you would be able to do, to protect your life!”
Princess Heiji was jumping and clapping her hands. “Yes! I could make more amazing Magics!”
“Okay, I challenge you then. Continue practising and think of some new Defence and Attack Magic. On our next Magic Battle in a few months, I will try to kill you. Let’s see if you can survive!”
King Rohan started to shake, afraid of what could happen. “What are you saying Seya? Don’t you know that she’s my only daughter?”
Seya shrugged his shoulders. “So, it’s better if she trains a lot!”
Princess Heiji stopped clapping and she was pointing a menacing finger towards Seya’s face. “I accept your challenge! I will make you scream and call for your mommy! I am going to do a nice barbecue from you!”
“You can try, little one, you can try! Muahmuahmuah!”
The King was horrified with the idea of having his little daughter in such perils. A Magic Battle with killing intentions? That was not the future that he had imagined for his sweet little Princess!
“What are you both saying? I won’t allow it!”
Seya bowed to the King, trying to reassure him. “My King needs to believe more on the Princess. She will do it. She will not be able to make me scream, but she will defend herself.”
Anna Hinamoto was worried by the whiteness on the King’s face. Maybe that wasn’t a good idea, the Princess was still very young. “Are you sure, Seya?”
“Yes, I am, mother. My King saw her now, two new Magics just after I have done it. If she has time to think about it, she will think of something new and amazing. Against me, she doesn’t need to hold back. And she knows that I will go all out, instead of the Royal Mages, because they don’t want to hurt the Princess.”
“I hope you are right…”
The King was still anxious about the idea. And the worst part was that his little Princess was looking at Seya with anticipation and with such a serious look on her face that the King thought that he was seeing a younger version of his wife, the only woman on the Kingdom that he feared!
