Waiting. Another blow with the sword, only this time the brown and green haired knight in training is able to block it. On and on they go around deflecting each others blows. Today is sword practice.

After a long period of time the brown and green haired kid gets hit with the sword from the opponent. A deep gash in the upper arm. She grunts, but doesn't linger on the pain lacing through her arm.

Girls aren't allowed to train in the combat field, especially not her. Though being the rule bender she is, she of course trained and went to the try-out, and passed with a very high level skill in armed combat.

She continues her attack until her taller, more muscular opponent concedes. Mina stops, and helps him up of the ground.

"Great job on that win, Will. But it seems that I actually got you for once" Johnny says as if he is surprised. If only he knew who he lost to. Ha! "Bad day?" she nods her head once.

"They still don't approve?" Mina nods her head with a soft sigh. It's not a full on lie, she thinks to herself. They will never approve of her doing anything other than be a princess.

"Oh, well I guess you'll just have to show them how skilled you are with a sword." Johnny laughs. Then the bell rings to tell them that training is over. They nod there heads as to signal 'bye'. On her way to the Siren palace she looks to the sky only to see it perfect. The painful throbbing in her arm brings her back to reality. She heals her wound and drops her very uncomfortable glamour. Her arm still has a barely noticeable scar.

When she gets inside her room there's a note saying to meet the King amd Queen in their working chambers. She calms down her frantic heartbeat and makes her way to her destination. Knocking on the door three times she waits. After about twenty seconds the door opens. Her mother and father smile. She sits in the spot across them. They look eager to tell her something.

After a few minutes her mother speaks. "Wilhelmina, as you are now at the appropriate age of courtship. We have decided that you are free to marry whom ever you choose as long as it is within the time limit. Such limit is at age eighteen. If you are not betrothed by that time or courting we will choose for you. Yet, if you do not marry such person we choose we will strip you of your tittle and rank.

(Present day)

Mina POV.

I throw my weight into my next punch, but I barely catch Johnny's jaw. He gets me in the jaw hard. Then swipes my feet out from under me. I fall down in a grunt. He has always bested me with hand to hand combat while I best him at armed combat. I've gotten better since I first started my training, and so has he. They put us together so we can teach each other how to correctly do what one of us are faulty at while the other is skilled at.

He helps me up then out of no where starts laughing. what is it now. I give him a confused look. He points to my arm. I make a disgusted face of horror. It's grey grass mucus. Yuck!

I wipe it off of me and smear it on his cheek and smile like a goofy kid. His face turns downright disgusted and starts gagging. The bell rings. Its time to leave. We both nod our signal of 'bye'. I don't talk much hear because I am scared I'll sound like a girl, which I am. And then get kicked out for deception of a noble.

I walk to the forest looking into the sky. I see two griffins in the air, one golden and the other silver, yet both majestic. There's a phoenix of equal majesticness, fly throughout the sky. The phoenix has black feathers leaving golden flames in his wake. I decide to think more of it later when I get done with my evening meal.

I get to my room, after telling my mothers personal servant that I was on a walk and that my mother shouldn't worry, and do my ritual of cleaning up. I go to the dining room and sit next to my little brother, Charlie. He makes his little brother face at me. I make my older sister face at him and he smiles, seeming pleased with my reaction. Until I hear an amused chuckle. I hadn't even realized the extra people, or should I say Royals, at the table.

I look up and find a pair of magnificent blue eyes over flowing with mischief. I dread this already. I know why Teague, Prince if Fae is here. I look at my mom and give her the 'why' look. She glances over at me and gives her 'you know why' stare. I inwardly groan and excuse myself.

A few minutes after getting in my room I hear a soft knock the door and let Charlie in the lay with me. He's been having nightmares lately. We lie down and after a few minutes he falls asleep. About 30 minutes later I hear voices outside my door. I can't hear all of it but I most definitely hear the words 'Teague' 'Wilhelmina' and the words 'arranged marriage' all in one sentence. I also hear an agreement. Then they walk away.

An hour later I realize Im starving. I get up carefully as not to wake up Charlie, and go to the kitchens where I grab leftover peices of chocolate cake and bring them to my room. I close the door and wake up Charlie, knowing he left as soon as he could to be with me. We both eat and fall asleep. After thinking about how they are going to make Teague and I marry.

The next morning I carefully make my way through the woods that surround the pond I often go to. Today I have no knights training. After a few minutes I decide to run. I get to the edge of the forest and end up tripping over a giant branch. Of course, I just have to fall.

I hear an amused laugh somewhere nearby. Oh Fates. I then spot him behind a tall tree. His laugh agitates me beyond belief, and without thinking I send him flying into the pond. I smile in satisfaction. That's what you get, you ignorant fae!

I start to walk off when I fell something wrap around my waist and pull me into the water. I let out a surprised yelp. How dare he! The nerve! When I come up above the water I see Teague and use my magic to drag him under water. I start laughing when I see the look on his face, complete and utter surprise when he found out my intentions.

I walk out of the water and dry myself off, using magic. I run back to my room and try not to think about it, as it is time for me to attend the evening meal. I walk by the window and see Prince Teague looking like a drowned puppy. Pouting and all. But still happy.

I leave as soon as possible, going to the kitchens to bring mine and Charlie's meals to my room. Again he knocks and I let him in showing him the food I brought for us. We eat our food, then he curls up next to me going to sleep. I think about how the Fates might've reacted if they found out it was me who dunked him in the pond. I smile, and with that I fall asleep into a dreamless sleep.
