Hey, everyone! Sorry for the long wait. I tried to update this so many times but I've been having bad writer's block. Couldn't think of anything to write about so I just wrote about their day at training, though it's not much. Sorry if it took so long.
"What ever the situation is, a princess never reveals her true feelings," said a woman who's in her early twenties. Her long dark brown hair is in a braid over her right shoulder. Her green eyes sparkle softly at the young girl in front of her.
"Yes, Lady Flora," answered Dawnstar.
"A princess is always pleasant whether she is happy or not," Lord Aaron told his student. His blond hair was combed back and his blue eyes shines with pride as he look at his student.
"Yes, Lord Aaron," responded Leafistia.
"A princess has complete control over her emotions," said Lord Blake. His black hair and dark eyes gave him a stern look that matches his stern personality.
"Of course, Lord Blake," said Mistyria.
"A princess must never be taken over by her emotions and feelings. They must think calmly and practically. Understood?" continued Lord Baron. His red hair was tamed and comb back and his stormy grey eyes warn anyone to not cross him. Despite being strict, he has a soft spot for the princess.
"Understood, Lord Baron," said Mayrina.
May woke up to the scent of chocolate pancakes being made. Her mouth instantly watered. She got out of bed and did her daily morning routines, which was stretching, then taking a refreshing shower and changing into her clothes. As she steps out of the bathroom, she looks over to the beds and found Dawn still having her beauty sleep. She shook her head knowing that Dawn won't be up until noon if no one wakes her up.
May walked into the kitchen and found Misty flipping a chocolate chip pancake and Leaf studying a spell book that her teacher sent her last night.
"Hey May," greeted Misty.
"Morning May," said Leaf.
"Morning," May smiled at the two. She walks over to the fridge, grab a gallon of milk and a glass and poured herself some milk and sat down across Leaf. "Thanks." May smiled as Misty put the fluffy, delicious pancakes on the plates in front of her.
"So what's the schedule for the day?" ask May as she put a slice of pancakes in her mouth.
"Well I was thinking of working on those moves that Cynthia, Skylar and Ren want us to perfect and training," answered Misty.
"And how are we going to do that?" asked Leaf.
"The captain," answered Misty. "He is one of my family's providers on the outside world. How do you think we're able to get a room this big without any problems at all?"
"True."
Just then, Dawn came into the kitchen still in her nightgown. Misty told her the plans for the day and they ate breakfast together.
May walked around the sky deck with her bag on hand. She wore denim skirt and a white ruffled-blouse. Her hair was in a messy bun with strands framing her face and her bandanna tied to her wrist.
Again. Why did I have to become a coordinator? Why couldn't I just be a regular traveler? Thought May as she smiled at the camera for a photo with the boy next to her for the fifth time that morning. Oh right. For my protection.
I will only let you go if you become a coordinator or trainer. That way, someone will find something is wrong should you disappear or get kidnapped, was her over bearingly protective father's only way of letting her see the world.
May leaned against the railing, staring out into the sea while listening to music on her iPod unaware that a pair of emerald green eyes watches her from a distance. Three months from now was her older brother's coronation and becoming the official heir to the throne of the Infernolia Kingdom. After that, he would rule beside their father, take part of the council meetings and other things to prepare him for his reign. Since the Aerondra, Aquanir, Infernolia and Terranae Kingdom were good allies, the king queen of the Aerondra, Aquanir and Terranae Kingdom were invited to join them along with their children. That and the fact that May, Dawn, Misty and Leaf are close friends. Close enough to be considered sisters. May and her friends were planning on performing for her brother for their present for him and May herself was doing a solo piece on the piano for him as another present. Thus them having to practice while on vacation. Actually that was their reason for vacation. If they were to stay home, then there's a chance that her brother might find out what they were planning and that would ruin the plan.
May sighed as her phone vibrated, telling her that it's time to go and see the captain about their training area. She walked through the hallway to the captain's cabin. She knocked and after hearing the faint 'Come in', she entered. Dawn was sitting on the couch browsing through her magazine of fashion, Leaf beside her but reading a thick book and Misty was having a conversation with the Captain. Heads turned to May as she walks in, taking earphones off and putting them away as the Captain bowed to her in respect. May nodded in acknowledgement.
"Greetings, Princess Mayrina," said the Captain. "It is an honor to serve you."
"Please none of that," replied May. "Just call me May."
"As you wish," the Captain inclined his head. "Now that you are all here, I will show you your training room. Please follow me."
May and her friends looked around the huge room. It was the size of eight pokemon gyms put together. Of course, it was only possible because of magic. In the center was a pool of water at the size of two gyms and was rather a good 11 feet deep. The room also had a high ceiling ideal for flying and also made possible by magic.
"I hope you found this room acceptable," said the Captain.
"This is perfect," said Misty. "Thank you for providing us this room."
"Yeah, thanks," echoed the others.
The girls changed into their training outfit once the Captain had left.
"Fire. Earth. Wind. Water. Awaken, Elemental Four!" cried the girls. Light engulfed the girls. Red for May, white for Dawn, blue for Misty and green for Leaf. Then the light died down, showing four girls with different outfit representing their respective and powerful kingdom.
May's outfit consisted of black pants and black boots. She had a red jacket zipped on with flame design at the cuffs of the sleeves and across the bottom. On the back was a black circle rimmed with yellow orange hues of flame. A phoenix was at the center surrounded by red, yellow and orange flames. In her right ring finger was a black ring with fire design on it.
Dawn's outfit consisted of a sky blue skirt and white boots. Her top was a short sleeved flowing blouse which started as white at the top then gradually turned blue at the bottom to match the skirt. A white belt was buckled at her waist to keep it from flopping around to much. White wind patterns were seen at the bottom of her skirt. On the back of her shirt was a peacock rimmed with silver. The top of her hair was being held back by a white opened fan-shaped clip with elaborate baby blue wind design.
Misty's outfit was of a black pants and black boots. She had a sleeveless ocean blue top on with many hues of blue, reflecting the look of the ocean floor. On the back was a dolphin that matches the one on her bandanna. On her left wrist was a silver cuff bracelet with a blue teardrop on the middle.
Leaf's outfit was of a rich brown flowing skirt that reaches her knees and black boots. She had a green top on and her sleeves stops at the elbow. Flowers and leaves decorated the bottom of her top. On the back was a chestnut wolf with black markings on it. Around her neck was a necklace with a green pendant hanging from it.
"Well, what's first?" asked May.
"How about we start with the moves that our teachers have told us to practice and perfect, then combinations then just sparing?" suggested Leaf.
"Sounds good to me," said Dawn.
"We're doing it your way then, Leaf," said Misty.
The four girls went a find their own space, forming a large square. May, Misty, Dawn and Leaf closed their eyes called forth their element. The Circle of Power of five feet in diameter appeared underneath each one of them, glowing red, blue, white and green.
May called forth her sword Flamer and her ring disappeared and was replaced by a sword. The hilt was carved with a phoenix and at the top was a ruby. The blade was 3 and a half foot long, sharp and deadly. Dawn raised her right hand to her clip. The fan clip glowed and two bigger duplicates of the fan appeared in her hand. She brought her arm down and willed one of the fans to float to her left hand. Leaf brought her arms up, parallel to the ground. Her pendant glowed and disappeared. On her left hand was a bow and on her right was a quiver full of arrows with green feathers. Misty lifted her left hand up, palms towards the ceiling. The bracelet glowed and turned into a 6 foot staff blue staff.
As soon as the girls' weapons appeared, their training begins.
Clash! Bang!
Two forces meet a mid-air, sword clashing against the other. The force of the clash sent them back to where they had leapt. Beads of sweat trickled down their faces. A few meters away from them are two girls with meditating as if no one else is in the room. One girl was floating in mid-air and the other had vines braiding underneath her.
"Is that all you've got, Princess?" Asked Misty.
"I'm only getting warmed up," replied May.
Misty ran at May sword held high. She swung at her friend's head. May brought her sword up to block. She twisted, putting one hand on the ground and as she twist she kicked Misty at the stomach, causing her to slide back a few feet. May didn't waste any time and run at her, swinging her sword. Misty ducked fast enough and May managed to cut the end of her friend's hair. May crouch down swiped her foot at Misty's causing her to lose balance and fall on her back. She didn't waste any time grabbing her friend's sword and putting it to her neck.
"Dead," announced May, panting.
"Ugh!" growled Misty. "Let me up." May extended her arm to help her friend.
"5-4. You're in the lead May," said Leaf.
"Oh, why thank you," she replied smugly.
"Just wait. I'll beat you next time."
"I don't know, Misty." Said Dawn. "She won the last two."
"You know what Dawn, be quiet."
When the girls had done with all of their sparring, they had realized that it was nearly sundown. They got out of the training hall and out to their cabins, careful to be seen by anyone.
