Chapter 1

It was a rainy day at the castle – the storm had been going on since last night. It was safe to say that Celaena, Dorian and Chaol were bored out their minds. You would think that since Dorrian was the prince, Chaol the Captain of Guard and Celaena the King's champion they would have something to do… but today was just one of those days where everything had come to a halt.
Celaena, Dorian and Chaol were in the training room – the King had sent them there after they ruined his conference dinner where they had been discussing the slavery in Adarlan.
A lord had said that there needed to be more slaves in Adarlan as they were working on a special project and they needed more workers. Celaena had angrily snapped back by saying they were a bunch of rich and greedy scumbags. They had been 'dismissed' (more like unceremoniously thrown out) shortly after that.
*** Dorian's POV ***
"How about chess?" Chaol suggested. Celaena stubbornly shook her head "That's for old people". Her head rested against the door, she looked like an angel. Her hair was loosely floating around her shoulders and her face was slightly flushed from the wine they had had earlier. Actually a death angel was probably a more accurate description of Celaena, considering that she was an assassin. Though she was still beautiful either way in Dorian's opinion.
Dorian sighed, they still needed something to do. He thought he could hear the soft boom of music from the ballroom.
He gasped and jumped up, suddenly having an idea. "Do you guys know how to dance?" He smirked before turning on his heel and leaving the room without waiting for an answer. Their confused faces were priceless!
*** Celaena's POV ***
When Dorian returned with a weird looking box that had buttons in one hand and a few circular metallic discs in the other, she was confused and definitely intrigued. He held up the weird box and said "This is called a stereo, and these"– he said while holding up the discs "are called CDs. I found them laying around in my father's office. When I asked him where he got them, he said they were a gift from a faraway land."
"So… why did you bring them?" asked Chaol.
"And more importantly what are they?" Celaena interjected.
"Wow. I found something that The Legendary Celaena Sardothian doesn't know?" Dorian said with a grin.
"The Legendary Chaol doesn't know about it either." Chaol said, rolling his eyes.
"I'll tell you but give me a minute to appreciate how awesome this moment is."
"Are you going to tell us or just stand there like a moron?" Celaena said impatiently.
"Oh fine! Ruin my fun why don't you. People use this to play music. They put the CDs in the stereo and press this button with the triangle on it – like this see?" Dorian had put a random CD into the stereo. A catchy tune blasted out of the box.
They all froze and were shocked that it had actually worked. Then they listened carefully to the lyrics. Chaol began to turn very pale, for the lyrics to the song went like this: "Oh oh oh it's magic! You knooow…"
Celaena was surprised that this tune still existed since magic had been banned from the kingdom long ago. It was still non-existent now.
They all scrambled as fast as they could to the stereo and quickly turned it off. They took a second to catch their breath and Chaol was the first to speak "Dorian… If your father knew about this he could have us all thrown in the dungeon."
"It's just a song!" he paused "But I guess we should be more careful." Dorian answered.
"I bet Chaol is just saying that because he knows he'd get his butt kicked in dancing!" Said Celaena with a taunting grin.
"Yeah Chaol! I could totally kick your butt and Celaena knows it!" Dorian said purposefully walking back towards the stereo. He scooped up the CDs and carefully examined each one. Celaena saw that he had chosen a very colourful one. Dorian then placed the CD in the stereo and fiddled with some of the buttons. Then he stood, finger poised over the button with the triangle.
"No magic." Chaol warned.
"No magic." Dorian answered.
