Diana, Audra, and Hera sat patiently at a long, antique table topped with ancient candelabras. A pale man entered the room and sat at the head of the table. His black fingernails thrummed the table as he glanced over the three witches.

"You may leave me, Veronica."

Veronica bowed to the Prince as she exited the dining hall.

Prince Daydrine brushed his coal black hair back with his long fingers before turning to the blonde to his left.

"Audra, I heard it took them many moons and suns to finally make you and your friends realize the opportunity you have here."

Audra smirked and replied, "If that's what you call it"

Prince Daydrine raised his perfectly shaped eyebrow before turning to the girl next to Audra, "Well…Diana is it?"

The second blonde raised her head to look at the Prince's blue sapphire eyes. "Yes?"

"Do you know who Jade is?"

"I'm sorry, I cannot recall. Should I know her?"

"Yes and no. She is…your past." Prince Daydrine turned to the first blonde and stated "As Spencer is yours."

The two blondes look to each other with a flicker of confusion before returning their attention to the Vampire.

Prince Daydrine eyes finally fell upon the red-head to his right. "And how about you, Hera? Know a Lily?"

"I know of the flower, if that is what you are referring to."

Prince Daydrine chuckled deep in his throat before waving his hand in a dismissive manner.

"I wish to get to know each of you personally. My objective is to choose one of you as my Queen—"

Audra's eyes narrowed as she interrupted the Prince, "Why would we want to be your Queen?"

The Prince leaned back into his chair and stared at her a moment before replying. "So, you are not fully there yet…very well. I guess I must take a more…well, different approach."

Hera continued to stare at the Prince's eyes throughout the conversation. Finally she asked, "Why us?"

"All in good time, Hera. For now, let's eat."

Hera stared out her window and followed the moonlight dance on a lake. She was concentrating on the fuzzy feeling she was getting. The lake is familiar, but not. She could not grasp what exactly though.

The sun had set many hours ago which was around the time the three girls were roused to begin their schedule. Veronica had them keep to the schedule without fail.

They were to be awakened after sunset and quickly dressed. They would have a breakfast feast together including Naomia and Veronica. After breakfast they were sent to training. They would be put through hunting and battle situations. Next, they would have education ranging from academia to proper etiquette.

Every night the three girls will have dinner with Prince Daydrine. After dinner, one would remain with the Prince. The first night, Audra stayed. Yesterday, Diana. Tonight, was Hera's turn.

Hera has a fascination with Prince Daydrine's eyes. Like the lake, there is something familiar, yet wrong. Like it is the wrong color? But it cannot be since his eyes have always been blue.

Hera was not scared or concerned about her night with the Prince. Audra and Diana returned from their nights with Prince Daydrine and they said nothing occurred but conversation. They would not tell her much about what they discussed. Diana and Audra only mentioned he discussed their abilities and how they felt.

As Hera watched the lake, she tried to think of her past. The first night, Prince Daydrine mentioned a Lily was part of her past. But she could not figure out what a flower has to do with her. Or the stone, Jade for Diana, or a Spencer for Audra. So, Hera watched the lake trying to focus on the image of a Lily. But nothing would happen. She only remembered the night she met Prince Daydrine with any clarity.

Sometimes she can picture Audra and Diana smiling with another girl. But she cannot recall who the other girl is. Maybe she is Spencer? But the image is fuzzy and only lasts for a second.

Hera turns her attention back to tying her knee-high combat boots. She fastens her belt to her waist before securing her wand. She ties her hair back into a high ponytail before walking out the room to start her battle strategy course.
