Eva let out a shout of frustration as the golden light she had been creating disappeared.
"Wow…This time you didn't even get to make the base of the sun…" Sierra muttered.
"You are not helping," Eva growled, glaring at her knight.
"And all this practice isn't helping you complete your homework," Sierra responded, holding up the science textbook. Eva grimaced at the textbook and huffed, sitting on her couch. She held out her hand and Sierra gave her the worksheet.
"Do we have to start with history? Can't we do something easy like math?" Eva groaned.
"No, history is easier to explain to you than it is for you to explain math to me. It'll be faster," Sierra told her.
"Are you sure that's the real reason?" Eva muttered. "Or are you just putting off math?"
"A little bit of both actually," Sierra confessed.
"As long as we're telling the truth," Eva muttered. A ringing sound through the house. Eva looked up and looked around. "Did dad leave his phone here?" She got up and followed the sound of the ringing. She came to decorative table and moved some things around to find a phone, with a screen connected to it.
"You have a home phone?" Sierra asked in shock.
"Apparently," Eva said, shrugging her shoulders. "And it's old." She picked up the phone and pressed a button on the screen, turning it on. "Rick!" the pilot gasped, seeing her coach.
"Hey there Little Mouse. Hoping I would get ya," he greeted.
"Wha- Whe- Where are you?" Eva shouted. "I haven't heard anything since the end of the race!"
"Sorry, I was checking up on some things," Rick told her.
"Where are you?" Eva asked.
"Paris, check it out." Rick turned his phone and gave her a shot of the Eiffel Tower.
"What are you doing in France?" Eva asked in shock.
"Chill out Little Mouse, I'm here for work," Rick told her.
"I thought Don hired you to be my racing coach," Eva said.
"That's for when he actually allows you to race," Rick smirked.
"Any idea when that will be?" Eva asked.
"When you graduate," Rick answered.
"Great," Eva muttered, rolling her eyes.
"Anyway, how are things going? You making any progress?"Rick asked.
"Little by little," Eva sighed. "I finished chapter one of the spell book, and I've found one of the noble families. I'm just trying to do something so I can talk to them."
"Well keep working Little Mouse, you'll be able to do it," Rick encouraged.
"Thanks," Eva smiled.
"Oh, I gotta go, I'll try to call you again soon," Rick told her.
"Bye," Eva smiled. They both hung up and Eva turned back to Sierra. "We were doing math, right?"
"Nice try. History," Sierra answered.
"Worth a shot," Eva sighed.
Aikka sighed and looked out the window.
"Prince Aikka, pay attention," Canaan ordered.
"My apologies," Aikka bowed his head and turned back towards his tutor.
"My prince, I know your lessons are not exactly the most entertaining thing, but you must pay attention so you can learn to rule Nourasia," Canaan told him.
"I know that, but like you said, they are unentertaining," Aikka sighed. "And I'm afraid my mind is elsewhere."
"No doubt on the Earth pilot," Canaan muttered.
"You know me too well," Aikka said with a smile.
"Regardless, you must focus on your lessons, your father is expecting a report at the end of the earth week," Canaan reminded him. "And if your progress is not satisfactory, then he will send you back home."
"I am well aware," Aikka said. "I did help create the agreement."
A knock came from the door and Ketena entered the study.
"Amanita is home for the day," she announced. "She wants to play with Aikka." Aikka turned back to his tutor with a smile.
"No, I have become too lenient in your studies. I will not allow you to leave until they are completed," Canaan said. "And Amanita is not allowed to play until her…homework was done."
"She doesn't have any," Ketena said.
"Still, the prince is not allowed to play until his lessons are finished," Canaan declared.
"Sorry Aikka," Ketena said. Aikka shrugged indifferently.
"It is not a problem. Besides, I too have become lenient in my studies," Aikka said.
"Have it your way," Ketena muttered, closing the door.
"May we continue prince Aikka?" Canaan requested.
"Of course," Aikka nodded.
"Do try to pay attention this time," Canaan sighed.
A golden orb appeared in Eva's hand and she sighed, tossing it into the air out of boredom.
"Eva, focus," Sierra groaned, shaking the girl's leg.
"Hey, I finished my homework 30 minutes ago. Not my fault you suck at math," Eva muttered, tossing the orb and catching it once more.
"You are so cruel, have pity on your poor knight," Sierra begged.
"Hey, you left me behind when you finished history!" Eva shouted.
"I'm home," Don called as he entered the house.
"Hey," Eva shouted in greeting.
"Hi Mr. Wei!" Sierra shouted as well.
"Hello Sierra, long time no see," Don greeted.
"Come on, you saw me yesterday," Sierra smiled.
"That's my point," Don muttered. "Don't you ever go home?"
"Not really," Sierra shrugged.
"Sierra, you still have math," Eva said, tossing the energy ball.
"Kill joy," Sierra muttered.
"Be very careful with that," Don warned her. "Magic is not a toy."
"Fine," Eva huffed. She caught the ball and stood up. She stared at it and blinked. The princess tossed it high in the air, her eyes narrowing as it flattened and became a disk. She caught it swiftly and placed it in the air. Eva looked at it, biting her lip. She grabbed the edges and pulled it, creating spikes. A silver orb appeared in her hand and she tossed it in the air, narrowing her eyes so it would flatten. The silver disk landed flat in her hand and Eva folded her hand, folding the disk in half. She tossed it at the sun; as it flew towards it, it curved, turning into a crescent moon.
"Holy shit," Sierra whispered in shock.
"What is she doing?" Don asked.
"She's creating the symbol of the royal family. She's never gotten this far before," Sierra replied.
Eva tossed a yellow orb into the air until it became a disk. She grabbed it and threw it at the sun and the moon. As it flew in the air, it spiked, turning into a five pointed star. It easily slid into place.
"Holy shit!" Sierra repeatedly loudly. Eva turned back to them with a smirk.
"Looks like I've got a noble family to talk to." Sierra squealed and launched at her, hugging her.
"Oh! I can't believe you did it!"
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Eva shouted, pushing her off.
"I didn't think you would get it that quickly!" Sierra said with a smile. Eva stared at her blankly.
"I hate you so much right now," Eva muttered.
