Chapter 1: The Big Move
11:00AM March 10th, 2007...
"Are you sure that this is what you want, Shia?" Freya asked with a concerned look.
"Yes, Mother. I want to see the world. Joining a hero team with Father will allow me to see more than what our humble kingdom can offer." Shia looked back at her mother while packing her items into a crate.
Just then, the door swung open. A man with a long black cape picked up Freya, then placed her back on her feet.
"János dear, must you always do that when you come into a conversation between Shia and myself?" Freya said with a stern voice, but a smile followed soon after.
"Oh I can't help myself. You always loved it. Shia, are you ready?" János motioned towards Shia and then the door.
"Yes, let's go!" Shia allowed a circle of air to pick her up before János did the same.
"I'll be sure your items reach your new home by tonight." Freya looked at the two flying.
"Well, take care of the kingdom! We will come see you when we can, Freya!" János flew through the open balcony door with Shia not far behind.
"Don't get into too much trouble now!" Freya called out after the two had flown out.
2:00PM…
"Father, why did you say you would join them?" Shia flew closer to János, looking at him with curiosity.
"They need our help. Besides, I'm sure you'll be friends with the sidekicks. Most of them are around your age." János flew lower towards the city under them.
"Wow. Where are we?" Shia excitedly looked at the city then back at János.
"Welcome to Washington, D.C., this will be our new home." János smiled at Shia.
Both father and daughter landed in front of the Hall of Justice.
"Good afternoon. King János, I believe you found our base. You will be a great asset to our team. Princess Shia, you will be paired with your own team as soon as we find enough sidekicks." Bruce walked up towards the pair.
"Bruce, pleasure to meet you again. This is my daughter that I told you about, Shia. Shia, this is the man that invited us to join his team." János introduced his daughter to Bruce.
"Please, come in. We have much to discuss and you should get settled in your home tonight." Bruce invited János and Shia into the Hall of Justice.
Once inside, the three heros sat on a couch.
"Have you two picked a hero name?" Bruce questioned the other two.
"Yes, I will be Celestine. Shia will be Celestia." János replied.
"Great, Princess Shia if you will excuse us, we have to talk about topics regarding our team." Bruce motioned for Shia to leave.
"No, I don't mind. Father, I'll be exploring the city and I'll meet you at our new house tonight." Shia then left with a smile and made her way towards the exit.
7:00PM…
-At the Star City Park-
Shia arrived to a well occupied park. Children ran along a pavement connecting to the playground, while parents followed close behind.
I see, so this is what the children enjoy in their free time.
Walking along the pavement, Shia noticed more people were staring at her.
I wonder why the people of this city are looking at me strangely.
Then she noticed, she was still wearing her princess dress.
Oh, I look strange to them. I guess an ankle dress with two layer sleeves is not in style here. Though the inner sleeve being form fitting and the outer one being bell shaped to the knees is in style back in Királyság.
Quickly grabbing her dress, she ran towards a cluster of trees and came faced with an opening. A lake could be seen with no one around it.
"I assume no one will be here for awhile. I will just practice my powers here for now." Shia said to herself while dropping the part of the dress she had just picked up.
She kicked off her white flats and walked towards the edge of the lake.
Raising her arms up, white wings grew out of her back as the water rose.
"This place is so calming. I wonder why it's covered by trees."
8:00PM…
Shia stood by the lake looking up at the moon while she sang.
Far off in the wind,
Far beyond the deep blue Earth,
You and I shall meet…
A feather comes fluttering down,
Without holding back,
I know I have the power to protect the one I love,
With my own hands,
Just as I've always dreamed.
Let the wind carry off your wishes,
I have wings nobody can see,
They can take us to where we can be free.
Oh, the sky is so blue…
As the song continued, balls of water formed into butterflies that flew around Shia.
Suddenly, the bushes behind her started rustling. The water butterflies popped and splashed back down to return to the lake.
"Who's there?!" Shia put her arms up, ready to fight the creature about to jump out of the bushes.
A boy about her age with orange hair stood up behind the bush, he placed his hands in the surrender position.
He's handsome…. Such clear blue eyes.
"Relax, I'm not here to fight. I saw you walk to the park, then you ran away into these trees. I followed you here because you dressed in a way no one does in this area. I got curious." The boy replied to her.
"Why did you stay so long? I've been here for at least an hour." Shia put her arms down by her sides. He did the same with his arms.
"At first, I was going to leave when I saw you stop by this lake. Though, you immediately kicked off your shoes and walked over to the edge of the water. I thought you were going to dive in. Then, I saw the water rise and wings sprouted out of your back. I became fascinated with your powers. I decided to stay and watch behind this bush." The boy started walking towards Shia at this point.
"What made you so uneasy that you rustled the bushes?" Shia asked him, also walking slowly towards the boy.
"I heard you sing. I was amazed, because your voice is so beautiful. I had to show myself to you." He looked straight at Shia.
Shia blushed at the recent compliment.
"Thank you. No one has heard me sing before, just my parents are the exception. I don't go out much in my kingdom." Shia said nervously.
"I'm Roy Harper. Pleased to meet you. I take it you don't live around here because of your clothes and the fact that you just said your kingdom." Roy put his hand out to shake.
"Yes, I'm not from here. I'm from the kingdom of Királyság." Shia started shaking his hand.
"What's your name? We can hang out sometime." Roy asked with a smile.
"Officially, I'm Princess Shia of Királyság. I'll be going by the name of Shia Gottfrid here." Shia shyly replied.
Roy's eyes got wide from Shia's announcement of her title.
"Oh, a prin-princess…." Roy started fumbling with his words.
"Please, don't worry about my title. I'm just a regular girl here. I hope you and I will spend some time getting to know each other. I would like a guide to help me on my way in this new place." Shia smiled at Roy and looked up at the sky.
"I have to go. It's getting dark. Let's meet again one day at this lake." Shia put on her flats and flapped her wings to fly upwards.
"I hope so. Nice meeting you, Shia!" Roy waved goodbye.
"Goodbye Roy! Until next time." Shia flew off into the clouds.
Roy made sure he was alone. Looking left, right, up, to the ground, left again, right again, and behind him before saying,
"She's so beautiful. A princess of all things, with powers and wings too. I just have to meet with her again." Roy started his own way out of the miniature forest.
"I wonder when I will see him again. He stayed for an hour watching me practice and sing. Must mean we are fated to meet." Shia landed on a porch.
She rang the doorbell and the door swung open to reveal János.
"Oh you are home. Shia, how was your trip around the city?" János offered his daughter in.
"I met this boy and he-" Shia was cut off by her father's sudden stalling.
"A boy?" János looked with concern.
"Nothing happened, I was practicing by a lake and he happened to see me. We met after he heard me sing and I left not long after." Shia defended.
"Alright, but I'll have to meet this boy some day." János said.
"I'm sure you will, Father" Shia walked into her new bedroom.
I feel like a new adventure is about to begin.
See you in the next chapter!
