Seventeen Ain't So Sweet - Azkadellia

Seventeen was a good age to take the throne, she thought. Young enough to have a long and fabulous reign, yet old enough that people will take her seriously. And she was getting impatient. It was times like these that the witch wishes she'd called for an older vessel. Possessing a 12 year old meant waiting five years to put her plan in action. Then again, it also gave her time to train this girl, this princess to stop fighting, stop struggling, to just embrace the fact that she was now evil. The Sorceress turned as a door opened behind her. Her eyes blazed at the sight of her vessel's mother. The Queen. Well, she would be queen no longer. Today was her seventeenth birthday.
