The Secret of the Enchantress
Chapter 8: The Past Revealed-The Green of Jealousy
(3000 years ago)
The kingdom of the Magic Casters stood proudly among a huge forest. The king of the kingdom was called Claudius and his wife was the Queen Carlaina. Claudius had long black bottom length hair and green eyes. He was a strong willed Saiyan, always thinking about his people. Carlaina had ankle length sky blue hair and dark blue eyes. She was the motherly spirit always knowing how to make things right with the people. They both had magical powers and were on the council along with their oldest daughter, 17-year-old Camerrai. Everybody loved Camerrai from the top of her long ankle length turquoise hair to her dark blue velvet boots. They thought that she would always be a great queen no matter where she was. Her fun personality and her generosity made her a favorite with the villagers and nobles.
"No, stop! Leave me alone!" A small cry rang out. 11-year-old Princess Crystina ran towards the castle closely followed by a pair of twin 12-year-old magic casters named Yasha and Yanka. They chased the young princess from the marketplace where she was visiting, back to the inner gardens of the castle. As they did, they assaulted her with water blasts coming out of their hands. Yasha laughed out loud as he tackled Crystina to the ground, smudging her beautiful lavender dress in dirt. "Stop, Yasha! Let me go! Let me go, NOW!" Crystina yelled as tears came to her eyes. "No, Crystina! You are going to pay for what you said. You don't have any powers to hit us back with! You are an easy target." This was true. Magic Caster children usually acquired their powers when they became 12. Crystina was 11, which means that she had to endure a whole years of water blasts until her 12th birthday. Still, that didn't keep her from fighting back. Crystina's green eyes flared in anger. "Easy target this!" She yelled, kicking Yasha in the groin with the calf of her right leg. Yasha howled in pain and fell over on his back, holding himself while Crystina got up slowly. Yanka seemed to be in shock, staring at his brother in surprise. Crystina pointed at them and said, "And that's Princess Crystina to you!"
Yanka growled and said, "You little bitch! I'll get you!" With that Crystina gasped and ran off, with her two midnight blue pigtails streaming behind her. Yanka ran after her with a burst of speed while Yasha groaned, "Get her, Yanka! Get her!" Again the princess ran for safety knowing this time, Yanka wasn't kidding. He was angry. She could have ran faster but the silky bottom of her dress, kept tangling around her feet, slowing her down. In a flash, Yanka caught up to her and grabbed her arm. He put her in a headlock with his hands behind her neck. "No! Please stop!" Crystina sobbed, helplessly. "You brought this upon yourself, Princess." Yanka said, putting extra pressure on his headlock and making Crystina yell out in pain. She thought that this was the end for her.
Suddenly, Camerrai came around the corner and surveyed the scene. She saw Crystina's tears and with her magic pushed Yanka back forcefully. Yanka fell on to his butt and looked up at Camerrai in surprise. "Come on, Yanka. Leave her alone." Camerrai ordered as Crystina ran to her sister. Camerrai looked her over saying, "Are you all right, Cryssi?" Crystina's hair was damp, the one left pigtail was undone and her dress was all dirty but she nodded. "Yes, Mera. I am all right. All I was doing was looking for a new necklace in the marketplace. But then they ambushed me, and shot water at me." Camerrai looked over at Yanka in anger. Before Yanka could say anything, Yasha came limping in saying, "We would have left her alone if she hadn't said anything about our parents." Camerrai anger for them left her as she asked, "What did she say?" She knew that Crystina had a very sharp tongue that always got her into trouble. "She said, that the reason we look so rugged and ragged is because of our mom and dad. Camerrai, you know our mom and dad are dead! It is not our fault we have to live on our own." Yanka replied harshly, tears brimming his yellow-green eyes. Camerrai looked down in shock at Crystina. "Crystina! How could you say such a thing?" Chrystina looked down in shame and said, "I wanted to get them back for messing with me last time. They are always messing with me." Camerrai sighed at the three children. "Look, you all are going to have to apologize to each other. Yasha and Yanka, you two better be glad I saw you instead of the Queen or the King for that matter. You could be exiled and then where would you be?" Yanka looked at the ground in fear, while Yasha kept throwing a fire ball he had just made up and down in his hand in boredom. "So, come on. Apologize." Camerrai said, backing up and crossing her arms.
There was silence until Crystina meekly replied. "Sorry." "I am sorry, too." Yanka said. They both looked at Yasha who still hadn't said anything. "...Yasha..." Camerrai said in a warning voice. Yasha rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, I am sorry." "There. Now run along boys, the young princess and I have some things to do." Camerrai said, pushing Crystina gently ahead of her. "Sure." Yanka said, running out of the castle garden. Yasha stalked off saying, " Yeah, yeah. Gosh, what a baby!" Crystina looked at Camerrai who frowned, then circled her hands and said, "Be gone." She put her hands out in front of her forcefully, making a gust of wind. Yasha flew up and over the palace gate, screaming his heart out and landed with a thud on the ground. Crystina laughed joyously then stopped seeing her sister's stern face. "Don't think you are getting off the hook that easily. I am disappointed in you, Crystina Marie. What were you thinking? You are not acting like a princess. If you ever expect to be Queen of the this kingdom or any other kingdom you have to act in a lady-like manner. I hope next time you will think before you speak." "Yes, Camerrai." Crystina muttered, looking at the ground. Camerrai looked down at her saddened sister and said, "Don't worry, Cryssi. In a few weeks you will have your new magical powers and then you will show those twins who's boss!" Crystina thought about her new coming powers and giggled saying, "Yes, Camerrai." The two sisters laughed all the way to the castle.
The next day, Camerrai rushed into the castle throne room. She strolled towards the throne of her father and bowed to him saying, "You asked for me, Father?" Claudius who was talking to some advisors, shooed them away saying, "Camerrai, darling. We are having some nobles coming to the castle today for a little get together. Will you be able to be there and show them some of your skill?" Camerrai's pacific blue eyes shone as she replied, "Of course, Father. I would love to!" All of a sudden her expression changed. "But, the High Enchanter will be here too, won't he?" Claudius' eyebrow raised as he replied, "Why yes. Zoravar is a man of a very high status. It is required that he be here." Camerrai rolled his eyes. "Status, smatus! I don't see why can't anyone see Zoravar for the sniveling weasel that he is. He cannot be trusted!" She exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. Claudius frowned and replied, "That's enough, Camerrai. You have gone too far. Zoravar is a trusted man and furthermore I trust him with my life and I believe you should too." Defeated, Camerrai sighed and said, "If you believe so, Father. Now if you will excuse me, I have some matters to attend to." She bowed again, turned on her heel and walked out of the throne room. Claudius looked at her departing and said to himself. "You have so much spirit in you, Camerrai. If you only could be normal, like us."
Camerrai walked out of the throne room in a huff. She couldn't believe how naïve her father was being. She knew for a fact that the High Enchanter, Zoravar was nothing but a sneaky, selfish traitor who wanted everything for himself. She was thinking these things when she bumped into someone. When she saw who it was, she rolled her eyes. 'Speak of the devil...' she thought. Zoravar was an older man in his early 50's. Spars of different varieties had been put upon this enchanter because he had the scars all over his body to prove it. One had even cost him one of his golden green eyes. The other eye socket was sowed together. His gray mid-back length hair was straight and flowing. Zoravar glared down at Camerrai. He didn't like the princess as much as Camerrai didn't like him. "Camerrai, do you not have some villagers to suck up to?" He asked, putting a staff in a slot on his side. Camerrai graced him with a fake smile as she said, "Likewise, High Enchanter. Do you not have somebody that you have to sneak around and trick?" Zoravar sighed deeply and said, "You have always been so competitive around me, Princess. How I would just love to grab you around the neck and strangle you just once." He came closer to her. Camerrai backed up and said, "You will not touch me. Not if you value your life." Zoravar was silent for a while as Camerrai started to walk past him. Just then he grabbed her wrist tightly and replied, "You do not have the guts or the power, Camerrai to try and stop me." Camerrai wrenched her hand away and growled, "You do not know what power I have, Zoravar. Do not test me!" Zoravar was speechless again. Camerrai turned and left the High Enchanter to think about what she had just said.
During the afternoon, the formerly empty throne room was now alight with torches and candles. Many nobles, enchanters, enchantresses and magicians were crowded inside. There was conversation all around, like what spell would do what, who was more powerful than who and most of all, what would the entertainment would be. On the right side of the room, the council-members sat joyously drinking and eating. Zoravar sat at end of the table with a smug look on his face. He was sure everyone was talking about him. King Claudius and Queen Carlaina sat smiling, watching their company. All of a sudden Claudius clapped his hands and replied, "Settle down everyone. Settle down." It became quiet and Claudius smiled at everyone saying, "I bet you are wondering what the entertainment will be today. Well, it just so happens that my talented oldest daughter, Camerrai will be gracing us with her presence." Cheers of "Camerrai!" and other pleasurable cheers rang through the room. Zoravar drank his wine slowly and glared. 'Of course that wench would steal the attention from me. It is not enough that she gets a plethora of compliments from her father and everybody else!' He exclaimed to himself. "Now watch with amazement as my daughter will show you her wonderful magical skills! Come forward, Camerrai!" Claudius yelled, hands outstretched.
The room became silent as the audience waited for the princess enchantress to arrive. Soon they looked around with worried looks as they thought she wasn't coming. All of a sudden a beautiful light blue bird flew into the open window and flew around and around the throne room. Everybody, even the King and Queen looked at it in awe. The bird settled in the middle of the room, then with a flash of light, transformed into Camerrai. Everybody cheered in surprise and delight. Zoravar rolled his eyes and got up. He bowed to the King and Queen then walked to the door. Before he did, he stopped and watched her. She was doing minor tricks right now, like throwing a glass in the air, back flipping and catching it behind her back. But then she began doing major things like making the Queen Carlaina disappear. Zoravar glared as he watched Camerrai show off her magic skills. The audience clapped as she lifted up her father's throne with great ease. Camerrai's words rang in Zoravar's head. 'You do not know what power I have now, Zoravar. Do not test me!' "Her powers are growing too great. I could feel it when we talked earlier today. Soon the whole royal family will be better than I am!" Zoravar replied, walking back to his quarters. "That cannot happen. It will not happen. I will see to it. The first one to go is Crystina. She will have little resistance against me." The High Enchanter growled gleefully, then laughed maniacally at the plan he was thinking up.
