Alright guys, this story is shifting from humor to.well, I dunno.
Chapter 3
Jacelyn walked over to Master Reed after she left the company of Daine and Numair. Although she was only 23 years old, she had spent the last 10 years traveling and learning from mages. Jacelyn herself had not gift of any sort, but she had always been infatuated with magic.
Once Jacelyn had found Master Reed, who she had met before in Carthak, Jacelyn asked him about his recent discoveries. After talking to him for 20mins, she bade him farewell and was about to leave for her rooms when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Jacelyn turned around and gasped, "Is it really you?"
The man with shoulder-length, curly brown hair answered, "Yes, my darling, it is me". Tears welled up in Jacelyn's eyes, and the man embraced her.
"Frederick, I thought I'd never see you again after my mother said she had you beheaded," said Jacelyn, tearfully.
"Dearest, don't cry. I have many a friend in your court who helped me escape. Let's not worry about the past tonight. We're here tonight, together. Dance with me," said Frederick. Together, they danced for an hour before the King of the Copper Isles came over and tapped Jacelyn on the shoulder. Jacelyn whirled around, and paled.
"Jacelyn, daughter, you must be going. I don't know what your mother will do if she sees you with Sir Frederick again." With that, the King left.
"I must leave now, but we shall meet again, Frederick. And this time, my mother will not stop us," said Jacelyn. She kissed Sir Frederick, and abruptly left.

Once Jacelyn reached her rooms, she took a seat in front of her vanity and looked at her reflection. Slowly and carefully, she pushed her hair behind her ears. Her ears were unlike any human ears she'd ever seen before. They were slightly larger, and they pointed that the top. They were a constant reminder that she was not a true princess of the Copper Isles, but it didn't really matter. She did want to become crazy like her "mother", her "sisters", or her "brother". Also, the Josianes, her brothers except for Viggo, and her mother were never too kind to her. Well, her moth was crazy, so that doesn't count. Once her brother Lugo had discovered her pointy ears, he and the Josianes would pull at them, teasing her, until the King intervened. How she came to be part of the royal family, she wasn't quite sure. Her dreams revealed to her images. Images of her true parents who had thrust her into the arms of the King of the Copper Isles.
Jacelyn sighed. While her "Father", the King, loved her very much, her mother was rather moody. Three years ago, when suitors had come to the Palace in search of Josiane #2's hand, Frederick and Jacelyn fell in love, hoping to marry and travel together. However, the Queen didn't want Jacelyn to marry before her elder sisters got married, so she threated to have Frederick hung. When she did carry out her threat, Jacelyn had truly believed Frederick dead, and since then, she spend more and more time away from the Copper Isles, her "Mother" and her "Father".
At last, Jacelyn got up out of her chair and fell into her bed, content at last. Frederick, her true love, was alive, and there was hope again.
