Sofia the First: Inner Strength
Chapter 7:A Wish Finally A Reality
Sofia shook Cedric for the ninth time finally having tears come down her face. "Please Mr. Cedric, wake-up." There had been no sign of moment from the sorcerer since he fell to the ground after the battle and the princess knew this wasn't a good sign. A hand touched her shoulder making her turn around and find Goodwin the Great behind her as well as Winifred the Wise.
With everything back to normal thanks to Cedric the two retired sorcerers were able to escape from imprisonment. Since Ethan had disappeared that meant everything else that was his had disappeared including his minions and his hideout. "Is he dead Mr. Goodwin? Sofia asked as she got off her knees but before the the gray-haired man could answer the royal family and Baileywick came to them. "Is everyone alright?" asked Miranda.
There was silence as the new arrivals realized Cedric was not moving. "Baileywick, get the royal doctor. Cedric is going to need some medical attention." Roland answered as he pulled his daughter away from the sorcerer.
The young princess held on to her father tightly. "I must know, Is Mr. Cedric going to be alright dad?" she asked as Baileywick left to fulfill the king's order. Once again, no answer came to the worried apprentice. She wished someone would answer her question. The girl couldn't imagine her life without Cedric, he had been there since she became a princess, he taught her amazing spells and helped her when she asked it. Could there really be life without Cedric?
As the doctor examined the fallen sorcerer Sofia began to remember her last conversation with her friend. The princess still had a tight grip on his robe as she looked at him. "I don't want you to get hurt." she said still crying. Cedric lifted her face up to him. "It has always been my job as a royal sorcerer to protect you, if you follow me, you would get hurt and I would not be doing my job if I let my princess get hurt." Sofia was shocked by his words as she watched him go.
The doctor got up off the ground and looked at everyone with worried faces. "I'm afraid his health isn't doing too god, Your Majesty but he will wake-up soon." With those words the doctor suggested they put the sorcerer in the Royal Hospital Room.
…...
In the Royal Hospital room Princess Sofia, Goodwin and Winifred sat beside the ill sorcerer. "Don't worry Princess Sofia, I believe Cedric will wake-up soon." Goodwin said trying to console her.
Sofia nodded "I believe your right, Mr. Cedric will wake-up no matter what the odds are."They smiled and said they had to return home to get some sleep.
Once the two sorcerers left Sofia looked back at her dear friend. "Mr. Cedric, why are you not waking up. The fight is over and you saved Enchantia but yet now you have us all worried, I know that everybody doesn't understand you as well as I do but have you forgotten were..were... friends! She said as she wrapped one of her hands around his own.
"Where am I?" Cedric asked as opened his eyes to find darkness . "Why you're unconscious Mr. Cedric." a voice said out of the darkness. Before Cedric knew it a familiar person stood in front of him.
The man didn't know what to say. "Sofia, what happened to me?" the sorcerer asked his apprentice as he bent down to her level. The girl's giggle echoed "You were in a fight to save Enchantia and me and you did it." Images of what had happened flood through his vision. "I'm your uncle.", "I had to help you cause remember.. were friends."
Cedric clutched his head. "Yes, I remember... I was fighting my uncle and you came to rescue me." Sofia smiled at him. " Now you got to wake-up but you got promise me something." He looked at her quizzically unsure what her answer would be. "Promise me that you'll never stay with me." The man smiled as he wrapped his pinky around her own. "I promise, I shall never leave my apprentice and princess."
…...
After waking-up everyone was inform of the good news. "You had us worried Cedric, I thought I might be looking for a new sorcerer." Roland said laughing nervously making Sofia shake her head. "Dad, you should know by now the no will ever replace Cedric the Sensational!" she said throwing a hug around the patient.
…... A few weeks later
Sofia pulled the sorcerer out of his Workshop. "Come on Mr. Cedric, we can't be late for your own ceremony!" Cedric shook his head as he was tying his yellow bow around his neck. The man snatched his robe out of the girl's hands. "Relax, It will be a few hours before the ceremony Sofia besides just because a ceremony is taking place today doesn't mean you can skip your lessons." he said having a smirk come to his face.
The girl giggled "Ah come on Mr. Cedric." she wined at her mentor. Cedric rolled his eyes. "I'm starting to wonder if your getting bored of my lessons." he said as he walked back inside his Workshop. The princess followed behind as she looked at Wormwood. "Are you still cold from Mr. Cedric's spell?" The raven didn't answer but glared at his master.
After Cedric had recovered he had unfroze his pet was still making him talk. Of course, Wormwood wasn't too happy that he was still being punished. How long was it going to last?
The sorcerer sat at his desk as he looked over spells Sofia would be ready for next. "So are your parents coming to the ceremony?" Cedric turned his seat around at looked at her excited face. "Of course they're coming, what parents would not come to there own child's ceremony?" he asked sarcastically.
She smiled, she was glad her friend was alright and back to his old self. "You know Mr. Cedric there is one thing I was wanting to tell you but hadn't had the chance to." He raised his eyebrows as he lean back on his seat. "What's that? He asked her.
Sofia leaned back in her seat as she began to remember everything that had happened. "I was just going to say how proud I am that I am your apprentice as well that I am proud of what you did." The sorcerer shrugged, he didn't seem too proud, it was practically nothing to him. "I was just doing my job Princess Sofia, nothing more."
The princes face became sad, after being his apprentice for a few years she wished Cedric would have more faith in himself. She had kept telling him this and yet it seemed he hadn't changed at all! Would he ever learn to have faith in himself, she hoped so. If not, then she would have to keep trying to get him to that goal.
As Sofia got out of her seat she was about to join Cedric for her lesson when all of a sudden she was hugged by him. "Thank-you for having faith in me as well as giving me some respect that I have been wishing for so long." Cedric said making the princess smile once again.
…...
Horns sounded as Cedric walked down the isle between the crowd. Once he spotted his apprentice he saw her standing beside her father smiling as she realized her friend wasn't wearing his usual purple robe but instead wore a white robe that sorcerers wore when they were being honored.
Once he stood in front of his king, Cedric bowed his head seeing his parent's smiling faces at the corner of his eye. "With this medal, we thank you for your heroic deed. After all these years, I never realized that you would be one of Enchantia's heroes. I should have been giving you praise Cedric but instead all I did was give mockery and for that I am truly sorry but for this day forth you shall be given respect, I shall not judge no longer, RISE CEDRIC THE HERO"
The sorcerer became shocked as King Roland's words. Now he finally realized a wish could be fulfilled!
