Hi guys im back so sorry it took this long I worked really hard on this particular chapter to make it as best and neat as I could.
Well here you go love and peace.
We finally make it to the queen's trial ceremony after an hour of yamming and competition between all houses on who's the best. Gisa is as unexcited of the inevitable outcome of the trials as me only doing it to honor our family when we rather just watch with the rest of the world. The thought almost makes my stomach sick, the rest of the world as in everyone, meaning kilorn will see this and think me as another silver looking for power even if it's not true.
No I can't think about that right now I tell myself. I refocus on the important thing here, showing any weakness in my body or face will put a target on me, you have to show strength as my mother taught me a long time ago, emotion and imperfection is not a virtue within sliver life. I observe the stadium which within itself is 100 ft all round, definitely enough room to destroy stuff if needed. Above are balconies of each house, one balcony contains Neon green, red, and blue the colors of ticoo, they make illusion's to trap their prey,House kilvon "Shapeshifters" their colors russet brown, they are one of the few houses with one color representing their house, House Laurd colors Electric Crimson and plain grey ironic colors since they can literally tear people apart, they are very dangerous in battle as in everyday life if you get them mad enough which is why silvers avoid them. I don't much about the rest of other houses.
I look at Gisa beside me, looking more nervous than anyone else, she almost as tall as me, only 2 inches from my shoulders with her high neatly tied bun without strays of red hair falling out. She's wearing ,a dress representing a storm with electric blue lighting going vertically down her dress, a storm inside a dress with bright purple and dark midnight sky blue covers the rest of the dress, beautifully sewn silk light enough to float with her as she walks. As I only wear a plain blue dress topped with purple lace and diamonds, but that doesn't bother me much as I like simple and not draw attention where it's not needed.
Overhead a speaker announces "Welcome the royal family, king Tiberias the V and the and his royal wife Queen Elara, and his sons Tiberias the Vl and Maven Calore. To the 135th Queens trial," that stops all my thoughts the time has come.
The royal family looks imitating in all their glory with perfect posture. As their house they all wear the Calore colors red, black, and silver except Elara wearing blue and white the Merandus colors whispers.
The king stands and speaks with a high but demanding, "Welcome everyone, over 135 years of queens trials with a new and better of all daughters as Norta's queen will take place, we have good round of girls today that will go into the arena and show us all their resilience and power, let queen's trials begin." all around there is applause and shouting in each house, it's as if they are rooting for someone to die.
Cal himself looks more at unease than Gisa and I will ever be, than again we are not forced to marry someone will never love, which i've much sympathy for the future king of Norta.
"First up is Arivanna of house Nevadear," the loudspeaker vibrates all around the arena. A young girl on my left stands to attention she's at least Gisa's age 14 or 15 maybe, she wears the colors dark rose pink, and gold. Once Arivanna makes it down she starts performing, going through walls coming back with things in her hands in a matter of seconds old books, expensive jewelry, fabrics from clothes, and a pair of glasses. That's impressive even to my standards, a couple a silver's in the balconies look surprised and shock as they look for their missing items that the Nevadear girl has taken, she bows and disappears into the nearest wall.
Girls one after the other perform with wide range of ability's wind weavers, banshee's, magnetrons, strongrams, silks, shadows even one's not that all powerful eye's, skin healers, and nymphs. My cousin Jecca Guadin also went up jumping behind different silvers even the Calore's making the king jump from his seat. I laughed to exceedingly making myself exhalate.
" Next up Mareena Donovan," my time, I get up from my seat as a one of the red servants direct me to the arena floor. I start right away reaching for the electricity from the whole castle conjuring all its energy within myself, it so powerful my whole body buzzes, lights flicker, and I create a lighting shield above me. It spreads slowly until a purple bubble cuts me off from everyone. By the looks of their faces they're both amazed and shock including my parents, they had always doubted me from the rest of my siblings always the disappointment.
A scream comes somewhere above.
