2 weeks have past and I learn magic from Merlin and soon cause less chaos in the palace as keep having a busy 2 weeks even my parents find it strange that I'm not causing any trouble.
(Serena's point of view)
I ran the corridors to escape my mother yells that could have awakened the dead with my sketchbook hug into my chest.
Flashback starts"You are going to be marriage to Prince Daniel so there will be alliance between Avalon and Valley of Luna spirits" the Queen Claire, my mother said to me
"WHAT!!! MARRY, I only know him for only one night and why now?" I said at her
"It your duty as Princess, is to take care of the people first then yourself and this is important to stop any war happening here." She said still sitting on the chair in the common room
"I want to find true love, fall in love and be happy not AN ARRANGE MARRIAGE where my life would be miserable. WHY DON'T YOU JUST END MY LIFE!" I yelled I like getting to the point
"HOW DARE YOU, SERENA RAISE YO-" "WELL YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR DAUGHTER, HER OPINION ABOUT THIS BEFORE AGREEING TO IT." I said running out, slamming the door behind her
Flash back ends
I ran with tears streak across my cheeks with my sketchbook to the Place of Serenity to ignore my mother's yells. I ran to the tearoom, hoping it still empty but I lit up candles along my way with anger, magic with my anger is a bad thing.
I slam open the door to find the Prince lounging on the chair reading a book. I, puff out of breath and wipe my eyes still holding the book.
He looks up, surprise how I was in a mess and place the book on his lap "Hey what the matter, Princess? Why don't you sit next to me so you can tell me all your problems, I will listen" I look at him in disgust
"I don't want your comforting or flirting words, Daniel. I just want to be alone, away from you" I said walking pass him but he grab my hand but I shook it but he wouldn't let go "Serena what wrong?" but he saw in my eyes was a whole different story as I'm like a open book. I shook off his hand and concrete on that hand to feel the familiar tingle sensation that I use the light.
"I just want to be your friend Serena, nothing else or nothing more. I just wa-" but he saw my hand which is glowing a pure white glow and his eyes grew wide, I walk towards the glass window and press my palm against it which let my hand on through it. "I don't want to tell you my life, no one cares about me the real me. I still don't trust you enough tell you as a friend since there will soon be a marriage for us to make an alliance with your country. Please don't tell anyone about this Daniel, if you do I will torture you with the magic I have" I hissed with venom as I vanish into the glass.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
I ended up on the warm surface of the glass hoping it would cheer me up but seeing it look dreadful as it never been mended. I sighed, started to sketch absently while humming a song, looking down is saw I sketch the stain glass window of what I saw in my dreams and for some reason I place my hand on it.
Soon the platform glow a white colour just likes my hand did and when is dull in colour I realize that it was complete and in my sketch book the picture had faded away.
I place my hand on the floor to get up but it just sent another wave of light, which made the glassy surface glow brightly and then expose a path of glass to I guess another glass window.
I walk oh the pathway and when I look about I swear I saw the boy with the spiky hair, standing there but when I look directly at it there was nobody standing there.
The next platform was the lady in the pure white gown with a castle behind it. I smiled and sketch from what I remembered and place my hand on it and watch how it disappear from the page, I kneel and place my hand on the glass and let the warm tingle of light come through and heal the glass and another pathway appear.
I ran without a care until I reach the next on with the lady surrounded by roses and thorns. I drew and heal this place but I felt kinda weak as if using my powers is now draining my energy. I walk the path to see nothing but darkness surrounding the platforms.
The next on was with the lady in the yellow gown with a beast behind her. I drew thinking about the boy who lived on the island and whether he real or not.
"Why I'm I doom to life filled with rules" I said randomly walking the next pathway to the last platform. It the one that had the most damaged as it shows the three girls in hearts and a winged girl in a close up rose.
I had to stand as practically everywhere was filled with overflowing darkness. I drew it with great detailed and place my palm on the paper. Soon it started to vanish leaving the page clean while the actual surface is repaired to it original beauty.
"My work is done Place of Serenity … is this all?" I said into the dark sky
No child, your journey has started not ended, it is the beginning of the end. You will understand later.
In a flash of bright light I was out of the world of waking and face first on the floor. Getting up I heard the clock chimes ring it song, I look at the clock and realizes I'm late, seriously late for the lesson.
------------------------------------------------------
"Don't worry Alfred, Serena coming she just late that all" Merlin reasoned with the impatience dog pacing around the room
"She never this late, where could she be" he said muttering and flickering his tails in worry then he pricked up his ears to hear running footsteps outside the door.
The door suddenly burst open to reveal the tired out princess with a sketchbook in her hand.
"Serena where have you been, I've been sick with worry about you" he said watching her catch her breath.
"Sorry for being late Merlin, I had to fix something up which has been completed just a couple of minutes ago" she sighed and took a seat at the table, taking a sip of tea
"This is no excuse whether you're a princess or not, I, Artemis think that this is a whole lot of rubbish" the irritated Artemis from his perched
"Let get on with the lesson Merlin before my ears bleed to death with Artemis whining" she said standing.
"Today lesson would be about battle spells by using a weapon, here" he chucked over to here a wooden sword while conjuring up a dummy at the far end of the room.
"Do you know any basic sword moves, Serena?" he asked her as he watch her swing it about in the correct way.
She look at him then at her guardian with a pleading look in her eyes "Yea I do know how to do sword moves and combination and Alfred before you ask I took these lessons without your permission by the knights that guard the castle" then she move the sword into a complex movement that ended up knocking the sword out of the dummy's hand.
"Hmm, I not angry at you this time but next time warn me if you come up with any more schemes" Alfred sighed in disappointed from her behavior.
I sighed in relief "Thanks Alfred"
"Good, you how to use magic physical with your hands and body though it can take out to much energy during a battle, so by using a medium, such as the sword it will contain the magic and can be use when it needed. So getting that around your head you are going to perform the blizzard spell by using the sword" I nodded understanding what Merlin is saying.
"Good, now imagine that all your power is going into the weapon but making sure there is a link between your heart and the weapon and then start the spell" he said waiting for me to start
I imagine that the sword was getting frosty around the tip, with ice shooting out from it and as usually it work making the dummy look like an ice-block so I went on to perform the other battle spells such as fire, stop, gravity, aero, cure and thunder.
"Well done, you are fast learner. We can make a spell caster out of you yet" Merlin made the charcoal, drench dummy vanish into thin air.
"Thanks, I always learn fast for some reason." I said playing around with the sword, I accidentally let go as it miss Artemis head by a millimeter
"Sorry" meekly I said bringing him a cup of tea
"Sorry, I could have lost my head because of that sword!" he sips the tea and began sulking again
"Don't mind him, since you learnt all everything you learnt and master everything that I needed to teach you, I have nothing for you to learn" he said putting some books back on the shelves
"Your serious, well… it that it then that it." I slumped my shoulders; dam me with my fast learning.
"Serena before you start moping, you 8 minutes until dinner in the great hall with your parents and the Prin-" I threw a blizzard spell at the wall, I'm still angry with him and my mother.
"Serena are you okay?" Merlin said watching this, I put on a strained smile
"I'm fine, I better go. Bye Merlin and Artemis" I ran down the stairs hoping they would go on with dinner without me.
"She be back, you know." Alfred just sat there on the cold floor watching the owl sulk
"The view right" Merlin pointed to the door behind him
"That and she would try to read some of your magic books. She can be sneak if she wanted" Alfred stood up, stretching "I better follow her before she gets makes up a plan to skip dinner" he follow suite hoping to catch up.
(Serena's point of view ended)
(Merlin's point of view)
"So when we're leaving, I want to get away from Serena as soon as possible?" said Artemis hoping that Merlin would say yes but I wouldn't hear of this.
"NO, we're staying until I figure what been nagging me ever since I meet her" I sternly said to Artemis then went back to looking through books
"Oh pink feathers," Artemis muttered in disappointed "he so stubborn to listen to my opinions" as he went back into his house for the night
