Chapter One: In which Shiara is not very patient
Tuesday, Week One of Being Kazul's (sort of) Princess
Dear Diary,
I've always wondered what it would be like to be able to use my powers properly. Too bad I probably won't ever find out. This morning I went to the Enchanted Forest, hoping for some progress on the removal of that stupid politeness spell Daystar accidentally forced on me. When I arrived, the castle was completely silent. Then that annoyingly polite elf steward, Willin came walking down one of the several staircases, absorbed in a list. "Hey you! Where is everybody?" He looked up from his list and jumped, then composed himself and said, "Welcome Shiara, Princess of Kazul, King of the Dragons. The Royal Family is out at the moment, vacationing." I, of course, started to get angry, sparks flying from my hair. I yelled back at Willin, "What am I supposed to do while they are gone? Daystar told me that he would start working on the politeness spell as soon as I could come back to the castle! And what does he do but decide to go off on a vacation! Willin, looking a bit intimidated, but being Willin, he simply said, "You could visit Morwen. You might find Telemain there. He might be able to help you." I turned around and stalked off. I'm writing this now while I'm resting. It really is quite a long way to Morwen's house from the castle if you don't use magic.
