Chapter One

Cedric, the court sorcerer of Enchancia, sat in his study reading a book on morphing. A typical day for the mischievous magician. He found himself at best when in his book, learning sorcery of all kinds.

Today however, he wasn't reading for leisure. King Roland had summoned him for the first time in years to welcome the return of Princess Sofia.

As this crossed his mind he recalled the kind and sweet little princess that had left at age 13 to finish her schooling at the Royal Preparatory Academy Higher Learning Division. She disgusted him and yet somehow touched him at the same time.

But it was her amulet that he prized most. A shiny purple thing that held immense power. It glimmered in his eye as he thought of all he could do as King Cedric. King Cedric the Great. It had a nice ring to it.

He practically slid down the stairs with a grace seldom seen on this earth to meet with King Roland and discuss what tricks he would perform at Sofia's welcome home party.

"Well you see, Sofia isn't the little girl that she used to be. So you should naturally enough perform different tricks as opposed to the ones that you did all those years ago," Roland explained the standards to Cedric.

"Yes your highness, I understand perfectly," he said in his usually nervous way toward the king. He truly had no idea what the hell to do.

The hour finally approached for Princess Sofia's arrival that was eagerly awaited by all in the kingdom. Especially him. At last he would be in contact the the amulet for the first time in years.

He watched the street parade with focused intent, searching the blusterous crowd for the princess.

His eye caught sight of the float that held Princess Sofia on a pedestal and shined all her glory, as much as it pained Cedric to admit it. She looked different from the last time he saw her though. She had grown into a beautiful young woman with a incriminatingly different body.

No more was she the scrawny seven year old that he had first met, she had wider hips and bigger breasts but still held that innocent charm, long copper hair, and wide blue eyes that the whole kingdom had grown to love so. And made Cedric ache to the core with envy.

"DAMMIT CEDRIC! YOU'RE SUCH A GODDAMN PERVERT," his concise said to him, shaking his head. He really didn't get himself most of the time.

"Doesn't she look beautiful Cedric?" James asked, nudging his arm.

"Well, I'm sure she has plenty of young men pining after her," Cedric stated dryly.

"And an old man too obviously," the prince laughed, taking a bit of his carmel apple.

"How dare you suggest such a thing you insolent boy!" Cedric snapped, holding his wand at arm's length.

"Don't worry Cedric buddy. I'll keep it on hush hush," he smiles, having grown into quite a cocky but good-natured boy.

He was left in a rage, clenching his fists but still admiring the fair Princess.
