The Secret of the Enchantress

Chapter 9: The Past Revealed- Ambush of Sorrow

        "So it's easy to say that Zoravar was quite jealous of you." Vegeta said, holding his chin. He already didn't like this High Enchanter character. Camerrai blinked then looked into the Saiyan prince's eyes. "Yes he was. Now in this next painful scene we will see how far he went just to get rid of me. His ambition turned to madness!" With that Camerrai blinked once more and the projection began again. Vegeta once more looked at the screen.

        It was silent. Silent in hallways, silent in the throne room, silent in the royal kitchen, silent in the gardens. But the silence was soon broken with a loud, "AIIEEE! I got them! I got my powers!" Crystina ran out of her quarters and screamed joyously at the top of her lungs. "My magical powers are here!" People looked outside of their doors and smiled seeing the now 12-year-old princess running through the hallways, screaming with tremendous delight. Crystina first ran into Camerrai's room. She jumped onto the bed where her sister was sleeping peacefully. Camerrai jumped up and said sleepily, "Cryssi? What are you...?" "Look, Camerrai, look!" Crystina cried out, holding out her hands. Camerrai watched as a small ball of water formed in her hand. Camerrai looked at her in question. "I got them. Today is my birthday and I got them. My magical powers!" Camerrai screamed as well as Crystina and they both ran out of the room and into their parents room. Cheers could be heard from outside the door. Indeed, it was Princess Crystina's 12th birthday and her powers had arrived to her. They were minor spells though, but if she practiced enough, she knew that she would be as great as Camerrai.

        Zoravar scowled as he heard everyone talking. Another person of the Royal Family now had magical powers. His time was drawing short. "It does not matter." Zoravar reassured himself. "Crystina's powers are weak. She cannot do much with them except make a few pathetic element spells. I will break her!" Zoravar traveled to the council room where about three people, two men and a woman sat looking at him with fervent looks on their faces. "My friends, the time has come to end this weak royal family's existence. Their time has come." The three people nodded in agreement as Zoravar slammed his fists on the table. "Now the first on the list is little Princess Crystina. Follow her. Do not lose track of Crystina. Leave all the rest to me." The woman raised her hand and Zoravar asked, "What?" "Yes, what about Princess Camerrai? Will she not try to stop you?" When the name Camerrai flowed into Zoravar's ears, he growled and pounded the table again saying, "I will crush Camerrai! Do not worry, I will take care of the powerful older princess as well." The council members nodded and Zoravar crossed his arms saying, "It will begin this afternoon."

        Crysti na focused as hard as she could then she threw a small lightning bolt out of her hands, but in the process she had touched it and screamed out in pain. "What are you doing?" a voice called out. Crystina looked up to see Yasha and Yanka walking towards her. It was noontime, they were all on the beach and Crystina was practicing against a piece of driftwood. Crystina sucked on her injured finger and said, "I was trying to throw a lightning bolt, but touched it on accident. The twins winced in pity for they had had their share of pain with magic as well. "Yeah, we heard that you got your magic today. Congratulations!" Yasha said, smirking. Crystina smiled as she said, "Thank you. I am really bad at it though." Yanka ran up to her and said, "Here, we can help you." He ran to put the driftwood back in the normal place as Yasha came up to Crystina and stared down at her. Tears were forming in her eyes from the pain of her finger. Yasha grabbed her hand and looked at it. Her entire pointer finger was red and there was a little cut on top of it. Yasha's long copper brown hair flew in the wind and his yellow-green eyes softened. "Always remember, princess...that whenever you are doing an enchantment spell, you must block out anything from your mind. The pain, whoever is around you, anything..." Yasha inhaled and blew an icy wind over her hand, cooling it. "Except for the person or object you are targeting." Crystina sighed from the lessening pain, then looked into his eyes. There seemed to be a sign of something inside of them. Hope, happiness, and admiration. Crystina could feel her heart thump faster from the sight of Yasha's eyes. Yasha blew on her hands once more and replied, "Just keep practicing, Crystina." His eyes never left hers. Crystina nodded and stared right back into his saying, "I will. Thank you, Yasha." The two 12-year-olds continued staring until Yanka's voice interrupted them. "Um, excuse me, you two. But the driftwood is ready, Crystina." Yasha looked over at Yanka who was walking toward them, trying to get a piece of wood that had gotten tangled in his shiny black hair. Then he looked at the princess and asked, "Are you ready to go again?" Crystina smiled and said, "Yes, I'm ready." All for the rest of the day the preteens ran around, practicing magic and targeting certain objects. Yasha and Yanka even taught Crystina how to fly. Crystina could not have been any happier. She finally felt grown up for a change.

        Camerrai walked through the hallway. She had been so happy for Crystina when she had gotten her magical powers. She knew that Cryssi had been waiting for her magic for a long time. As she was thinking to herself about these things when somebody had bumped into her. Camerrai and the other person; a woman fell on their bottoms. The woman's papers which she had been holding in a file dropped to the tiled floor. Camerrai recognized this woman as Ninundira, a member of the council. "Oh, I am so sorry, your highness. Are you all right?" Ninundira asked, worried. "Yes, I am quite fine. Here let me help you pick up those papers." Camerrai said, reaching down to pick one up. Ninundira stopped her saying, "Oh no! I am just fine, your grace. Let me do it." Camerrai watched as the councilwoman picked up her papers and got up quickly. She bowed and replied. "Goodbye, princess." "Goodbye." Camerrai said suspiciously as the woman walked away. Why was she off in such a hurry? The Saiyan princess thought about it then shook her head looking at the ground that she was still sitting on. She frowned seeing a piece of paper that Ninundira had left. "Ninun..." Camerrai started trying to give the paper back to the councilwoman but then she started reading it. Her eyes widened in shock seeing the words. It said: "Location Report. Princess Crystina has been located along with two male youths near the sea. When they come into your view, fire at will!" Camerrai tried to comprehend this but then stopped when she understood that her younger sister was in danger. "Crystina!" Camerrai whispered, running and leaving the important paper floating to the ground. She got to the balcony and leaped off, soaring towards the beach. She only hoped that she could get there in time.

       Crystina and the twins were about to do another target practice when all of a sudden, Yasha turned and saw a group of people coming towards them. "Hey, look." He said. Crystina turned and stood beside Yasha, looking as well. "They are Magician Soldiers. I wonder what they are doing here." Crystina said to him. Yasha shrugged, clueless. His eyes widened as one of them aimed his hand towards the two in a battle pose. "He's going to shoot! Duck!" Crystina and Yasha ducked to the sand as the one Magician Soldier let loose a colossal fireball. Yasha looked behind him and saw that Yanka was still bending over trying to get the target straight. His back was towards the soldiers and the fireball was coming towards him. "Yanka! Look out!" Yasha said, holding his hand out as the fireball flew over him and Crystina. Yanka looked behind him and smiled, but then his eyes expanded as the fireball came in contact with him. He screamed as the fire engulfed his body. "NOOO!" Yasha bellowed, standing up. "Oh no, Yanka!" Crystina screamed. "It's hot! It's burning me up! Yasha, help me!" Yanka shrieked as the fire started melting his flesh. But knowing that his brother couldn't do anything he started running towards the sea. "No! Yanka, stop running! It's going to spread!" Yasha yelled, trying to get close to him. But Yanka was already walking into the water slowly. With the last of his strength and breath, Yanka fell into the water. Soon his body moved no more. Yasha's eyes closed with pain as he realized that his only family was now dead. When he opened them, tears brimmed his eyes and he looked over at the frightened Crystina. He couldn't help save his brother, but he could try to protect Crystina. Yasha got up and started running towards the young princess yelling, "Don't worry, Crystina! I'm coming! I'm com..." Crystina closed her eyes as she heard Yasha's choked gasp of pain and the shatter of something else. When she opened them, she screamed seeing Yasha on his knees. A gigantic hole was in the middle of his chest. A soldier had fired a icicle towards the running Yasha and it impaled straight through him. Blood was everywhere.

         Yasha put his hand on his fatal wound and realized that all was lost now. He looked at Crystina with hopeless eyes and with his own last breath, slumped to the ground, lifeless. Crystina couldn't believe what had happened just now. Both of the twins were dead and she was probably next. Her horrors were confirmed as a majority of the Magician Soldiers started aiming energy blasts at her. As quick as a flash, she screamed and took to the sky, dodging and flying away from any of the blasts. She hoped silently that somebody would save her.

          Camerrai flew as fast as she could, hoping to the magic god, that Crystina would be safe. She came into view of the beach and her eyes widened in shock. An immense group of Magician Soldiers were shooting energy blasts at something. She looked ahead of her and gasped as she realized that the target was Crystina. Crystina already had a few nicks and cuts from the blasts barely hitting her. "CRYSTINA!" Camerrai yelled, making the blasts stop and having everybody look up at her. Crystina gasped in relief and surprise. She still did not understand why the soldiers were shooting at her, but seeing her older sister flying towards gave her heart a leap of reassurance. A general of the soldiers touched a screen on a staff he was holding and informed, "Councilwoman, the Princess Camerrai has arrived. What do we do?" There was static then he heard, "Shoot and kill Camerrai as well. Do not let her escape!" Ninundira's voice commanded. "Affirmative." The general said. "Fire!" He then yelled.

         The young princess screamed as the blasts of energy kept coming at her. Camerrai strained as she tried to get towards her sister. Her heart quickened with fear as she saw one hit her sister in the back. Crystina screamed with pain, "AH! Please help me, Camerrai!" She yelled desperately. Camerrai's breath came in short pants as she tried harder to reach her. "Cryssi! Crystina, I'm coming!" Camerrai yelled as she dodged and blocked different energy blasts. A group of them came towards her, so she did a complete backflip to avoid them. She heard a scream. All of a sudden a massive blast of electrical energy hit Crystina straight in the face, making her head go backwards with a slight snap. Time went in slow motion as Camerrai watched her sister fall to the ground. "No, Noo, NOO!" Camerrai yelled. She twirled around and shot out a light gray mist all over the Magician Soldiers. They froze, paralyzed. "I can't move!" The general cried out in surprise as did most of the soldiers. "She is going to do something to us." A soldier whispered in fear.

        Vegeta looked at the motionless Crystina with disbelief. "Why would they end a little girl's life like that?" He said to himself. The screen went black and he turned his head to look at Camerrai. She had her eyes closed in pain and tears were falling down her face. "I am sorry. This is very hard for me to reminisce." Camerrai said, sorrowfully. But then she opened her eyes again and the screen came back.

         After making sure that the Magician Soldier did not interfere, Camerrai landed on the ground and gently fell to her knees. She felt like crying for her sister and gasped seeing the mutilated bodies of Yasha and Yanka. But she didn't cry. Tears would have to come later. "Now, revenge!" She growled with intent. She glared as more Magician Soldiers surrounded her and aimed magical arrows at her. "Surrender, Princess!" The general of the new group yelled. Instead of obeying them, Camerrai walked on her knees towards the now lifeless Crystina. When she got to her, she shook her head in anguish. "Why? Why did have to be this way, Cryssi?" She asked, lifting up her sister gently. "Why would somebody want to kill you?" As she held her sister close and closed her eyes in hurt, she heard the new general yell, "You have been warned, Princess Camerrai. Soldiers, ready, aim, fire!" A barrage of arrows streamed toward Camerrai. But then they bounced off of a sudden shield that Camerrai had surrounded herself with. The soldiers looked startled as they didn't know she would do that. Camerrai opened her eyes and glared at the Magician Soldiers. Her blue eyes blazed with fury as she yelled ominously, "Fools! Do you think that you can overthrow me? You are sadly mistaken! You have killed my sister without any mercy. This was your biggest blunder. You are all going to pay."

        As she said that the wind started to pick up and the sky began to darken. The soldiers, new general and even the paralyzed ones looked around in worry and fear. Camerrai lifted up her hands and in a instant, Yasha and Yanka were lying in front of her. She gently laid Crystina beside the twins and closed her eyes. She started to chant softly as a aura encircled her. "Fire, sun, moon, water..." The chants began to get louder and the planet began to rumble. "Fire, sun, moon, water...Fire, sun, moon, water...Fire, sun, moon, water... FIRE!" When Camerrai's eyes widened, they were a deep ruby red. The soldiers gasped at her appearance and notice a spark of fire making a very round circle around Camerrai, Crystina and the twins. When it stopped, the circle released fire all over it. The fire connected together, making a sphere. The soldiers watched carefully wondering what would happen. Unexpectedly, the fire blazed towards soldiers on every end. The ones that weren't paralyzed watched as the fire covered the unlucky ones and eliminated their skin, leaving their skeletons. As the skeletons fell to the floor, the regular soldiers ran screaming for their lives. But their screams were cut short as the fire overcame them as well.

        Camerrai closed her eyes once more and opened them, their color blue once more. It was silent and there were bones everywhere. Smoke was everywhere as well. Camerrai had massacred an entire military platoon and didn't even care. "I told them that they would pay." She said. She looked down at the three dead children and tears finally came to her eyes. She threw her head back and screamed a huge painful scream for all to hear. She sobbed looking at them again and said, "I am so sorry, Yasha and Yanka. You did not deserve this at all." She repaired their bodies and dug out two graves for them. After putting them in there, she put her head down and said, "May you rest in peace, you two." She turned and tenderly picked up Crystina and said, "You definitely did not deserve this. I know that the platoon did not just come randomly wanting to kill you. Somebody ordered them and I know just who that somebody was." She looked down at her sister and vowed, "Do not worry, my sister. Your death will not be in vain. I promise you, I will kill the person who killed you." With that spoke, Camerrai walked quietly back to the castle, her heart hardened by fury and hurt.
