-Normal POV- ENTRANCE GATES-
"Zi-chan!" Artemis ran to Zika and glomp at her. They lost balance and they fell in the floor. "Are you okay? The Crow Goblin didn't do anything to you? Do you need your favorite food to make you happy? And...wow. Is that your wings?" Artemis ask worriedly. Zika giggled. "Somehow this is a different side of her..." Gray muttered loudly. The other team members nodded their head. "The side that she only gives at Zika." Karasu said.
"I'm fine, Artemis-chan. Somehow, I could create powerful spells now. Also, Karasu was the one who help me activate my wings." Artemis eyes widen. "Really?! You could now control your powers?!" She asked. Zika nodded her head. "And Karasu taught me how to activate my wings." Artemis stands up and extended her hand. "Then let me see your current spells." Zika sweat drop. Zika tok her hand and she was pulled up.
"She ignored the fact that I was the one who taught Zika..." Karasu muttered. Then the Queen was at Zika's side. "Sorry to tell this but we need to seal all of your powers, dear." Karasu, Zika and Artemis' heads jerk. They also had cold sweat and their eyes widen. "WHAT?!" they yelled. "Well, now you have powers, the world would seem like to kidnapped or killed you now. It's not like before that Karasu would be the one who would get kidnap. You are in danger." The King explained.
"And this is a good day to seal your power. No one but us and the castle staffs knows about this. We already informed the staffs and Team Natsu that this needs to be kept secret." The Queen continued.
"And regarding about Karasu's seal that is in your will, we need to transfer them to him." The Queen continued to explained more. The Queen move to her husband's side. Leaving her daughter frozen.
"We don't know about this but The Queen and King requested us to be there when the sealing is perform." Erza said. She had a please look. "We are very honored to be requested such a huge chance."
"This would be the first time I would witness a sealing!" Natsu pump his fist up in the air and grin.
"Wait! Why wasn't I inform of this matter?!" Artemis exclaimed in disbelief. "You were busy worrying. Even Ellie knows about it." Lucy said and Artemis turn to her partner. "Dabu Dada Bu~" Ellie squeaked. "Then why didn't you tell me?" Ellie flew to her and wrap herself on her partner's neck. "Dabu Bubu Abu Abu~" Artemis held a realization look. "Oh..." Zika recovered and went in front of her parents. "Can I still practice my magic?" she asked hopefully.
"Yes. But only in a room that no one could detect your magic. I would be making a huge arena-like room for you." The King said. Zika grin and glomp at her father. "Thank you, Daddy!" she exclaimed in happiness. "Oi. Oi. How about me? I want a room just like hers." Karasu went in front of his parents too. "Nah. You could just ask your sister if you want to use it." The King ask.
Zika separate the hug and back away from them. She then, together with Karasu held a surprise look. "Sister...?" they both asked in sync. The Queen smiled. "You guys are technically siblings." Zika and Karasu look at each other. "Then who's the eldest?" they both asked. "Well...I guess it's Zika." The Queen answered. Karasu and frown and Zika smiled in victory. "YES!" she exclaimed.
"Now call me Onee-sama!" she commanded. She pointed at Karasu. "No way in hell!" Karasu fought back. "Call me!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Black Harmony!"
"Dark Wave!"
Both of them activate their magic and they strike it to each other. The King and Artemis went in front of everyone. "Crystal Shield!"Artemis yelled. "Tighten the shield! Miasma String!" The King also yelled. A crystal sphere had surround them with a black miasma circled around it. The attack had destroyed their surroundings and even though their was a shield, the dragon slayers had to cover their ears because of Zika's magic. Artemis had a hard time to maintain her shield.
"Kids! No using of magic!" The Queen yelled. Team Natsu was stunned. "They're only children but their magic is overwhelming." Erza said. She look around and saw the damage of two spells. "Amazing..." Lucy was in awe but she's scared too. "This...is...too much. How can they even held a huge magic inside their tiny body?" she asked to herself.
"I'm with you, Lucy." Gray said. But then his eyes widen. "Oi. Oi. You've got to be kidding!" all of them, including Zika and Karasu turn to the dragon slayers. "Your ears are bleeding!" Lucy exclaimed in worry. "It's okay, Lucy-san. I could heal this..." Wendy said but the her eyes widen. "Wendy...?" Erza called. Then she collapse along with the other Dragon Slayers.
Zika froze while the others took action. The shield was broken since Artemis was unconscious and the King dispel his rope. Karasu carried Artemis, Gray piggy back ride Natsu and Erza carried Wendy. The Queen and Lucy ran to the entrance doors. "Lucy! Chitari! Call our healer!" The King yelled. "On it!" they both yelled.
"Come on! Inside! We an inside! We have a infirmary! Put them there!" The King commanded and the others nodded. They ran inside; leaving a frozen Zika behind.
-Zika's POV-
'It's...my fault...my magic...I thought magic is beautiful...' I thought. Slowly, my tears started to fall. I crouch down and warp my legs. I buried my face into my arms. I started sobbing. "Princess, stop crying. It's not your fault." a woman's voice said. I know who it is. I was very familiar with who is it. "Kiara-san." I look up and saw the maid who raised me together with my parents. She look like she is on her early 30's but actually she is a hundreds year old. She had wavy gray hair and a hair band that held back some of her bangs. She had dark violet eyes and pale white skin. She wore the common maid uniform.
She too crouch down. She patted my head. "Shh. It's okay." I glomp at her and started crying more. "There. There." she landed on her butt and caress my back. "Come on. Stand up. Tears doesn't suit a Princess." she said. I slowly back away from and was on my knees. She too sat on her knees. "Now. The castle is unharmed. The butlers and maids made a strong barrier around it. The gardener protects the greenhouse. The backyard is protected by the cooks. The only thing that was harm is the front yard except for the greenhouse. The butlers would fix everything." Kiara-san reported. I nodded and sniff.
Kiara-san summon a tissue box. "Here." I took one tissue and wipe my snot. "Let's go, Princess." I saw our butlers activating their magic. Kiara-san stands up and extended her hand. I took the offer and she pulled me up. "Now. Time for you to heal the Dragon Slayers." she said while smiling at me. "Wait. WHAT?!" she pulled me and started running in such unbelievable speed.
I was in mid air while she was running. I just stayed up here and try to enjoy the horror ride. Finally, we came to a halt. We were inside of our infirmary. Our healer, Yuki; a snow demon but able to heal, is healing them. But it was obvious that nothing is changing. The Dragon Slayers still held a pain look. "Yuki. That's enough. Let Princess Zika do the healing now." Kiara-san said. Yuki sighed in relief and nodded her head.
"What's the situation?" I asked. "Their eardrums broke but some black magic had entered their ears. I was unable to heal it because of the black magic." I nodded. Yuki bowed at me and walked out of the room. "Zika...could you really heal?" Karasu asked. "I'll try." I replied.
I moved in front of their beds. Artemis-chan was at the middle, Natsu-san was at the left and Wendy-chan was at the right. I raised my hands and took a deep breath. Black and white mist appeared under them. "Resurrect." I said. The mist entered their ears and slowly, their pain expressions fade. I lowered my hand and sighed in relief. "I think I did it." I said.
"Let me test that." Gray-san said while chuckling. He cup his hands beside his mouth and took a deep breath. "A DRAGON! A DRAGON IS HERE!" Gray-san yelled. Natsu-san, Wendy-chan and Artemis-chan quickly sits up.
"Igneel!"
"Grandine!"
"Crysanna!"
All of them yelled. I can't help but giggled. The others laughed. Artemis-chan and Wendy-chan get it right; blush. While, Natsu-san was looking around. "Where? Where is the dragon?" He asked. Natsu-san look under his bed and I giggled louder. He then look above him and then left and right. "Natsu-san, Gray-san tricked you." I said. Natsu-san then froze. He then pounced at Gray-san.
"You Bastard!"
"You're the idiot who didn't get the trick right away!"
"Ice Princess!"
"Flame Brain!"
"Popsicle!"
"Volcano!"
"Droopy eyes!"
"Squinky eyes!"
"Stripper!"
"Pea Brain!'
"Enough!" Erza-san smash their heads together. Gray-san and Natus-san's souls flew away from their body. "Are they alright, Lucy-san?" I asked. She smiled at me. "Lucy-nee would be great and yes. They are fine. It's our usual routine." My eyes widen. "Usual routine? So they always do this things, Lucy-s-! Lucy-nee."
"Yes, Princess. The would recover really fast." I smiled at her. "I think being called Princess from someone who save me is weird. Zika would be fine." I said. She nodded hesitantly. I smiled at her more.
"Now, come. Zika. Karasu. We should start the sealing." Daddy said. I frown. I then get patted by Kiara-san again. I slowly smiled. She then bowed to us. "I'll take my leave then." Daddy nodded and Kiara-san walked out. "Follow us." Mommy said.
We came into a halt. We were facing a huge metal door. Mommy activate her magic into her hand and she press it to the door. The door slowly opens and inside was dark. We slowly step in and then torches was lit around the room. The room was huge. They are balcony at each side of the room and there is a circle with star pattern inside of it. In the stars side were ancient writings.
"Okay. Team Natsu and Artemis, please be at the balcony. Artemis or Fullbuster, please make some stairs." Daddy commanded. "Ellie and I are in a different balcony. It's up to Fullbuster to make his team to the balcony." Artemis-chan flied to my right balcony. Gray-san shrugged his shoulder. They walked to the front balcony. "Ice Make: Stairs!" He made a stance and a stairs was made. "Wah! That is so cool!" I exclaimed and I saw Gray-san blushed. "Thanks, Princess."
"You're Welcome, Gray-san." I smiled at him. "Gray would be fine. Or Gray-nii. Just like Lucy's." I nodded. "Gray-nii." He nodded in approval and somehow, I heard the word 'Love Rival.' I shrugged it off.
Team Natsu was already at their balcony and the ice stairs disappears. "Zika. Karasu. Step on the circle. Then, Karasu, summon your seals." Karasu and I nodded our heads. We followed the instruction.
"Seals of the Prince: Appear." then the bracelets that was on my left wrist appeared. They were 7 silver chain braclets and 4 black beans appeared. I frown. "One bean bracelet is missing..." I muttered. "That seal is broken. Since it's made out of our counterpart-ish..." I giggled. "Counterpart-ish?" Karasu looked at the other side; blushing.
"Okay. Now. We're going to transfer the silver chain bracelets. What are the bean bracelets presents? We didn't know you guys made that." Daddy asked. "Well, different meanings actually. One means Karasu can not come out until I said so. Two means Karasu's eyesight would go blank if I change and take a bath. Third is I can see what he had stored inside our body. Just to be sure if he didn't had any naughty pictures while he was out. The 4th one is we could tell if one of us is lying. There was another bean bracelet but it's already broken since Karasu broke it. Saying it's now useless. But I wonder why one? Since all the bean bracelets are made because of our counterpart-ish." I change my tone at Karasu's word. I giggled at it.
"Having a opposite gender counterpart is sure hard." I heard Lucy-nee said. "You have no idea..." I replied. Karasu then came to my side and pulled all the bean bracelets. "There. Any more complain?" The beans were rolling away. "I have many questions." I replied. "And they are to be ask after this." Daddy said impatiently.
"Okay. Okay." Karasu and I said in sync. "Okay then dears. We're going to transfer and made new seals so the chant is weird than the usual. So no interruption like the last time. You almost killed the whole world because you guys kept on fighting." Mommy glared at us. Karasu and I shivered from fright. "Yes, Ma'am." we saluted. "Good."
"Now, back to back." Daddy instructed. Karasu and I face back to back. "Now hold hands." I blush a little. We slowly intertwined our fingers. "Good. Now close eyes and took a deep breath and let it out." we followed.
Fire, Water, Wind, Earth,
From the Ancient Spells of Divine,
From the Light and Death Judgement,
Into the Light and Shadow,
Into Space and Time,
I call upon thee power of sealing using our crest's name!
Destruction: Holy Lock!
I felt the emptiness of metallic and cold sensation from my wrist. Then, I felt a chain had chain spiral circled my body and squeezed. I groaned in a slight pain. Then, I felt something had choke me. I held in my urge to cough by squeezing Karasu's hands. He squeezed back and I felt a little safeness. Then, something like wrist chains had chain my wrists and where my ankles had located. All of them squeezed me and I finally black out.
OMAKE OMAKE OMAKE OMAKE OMAKE OMAKE OMAKE!
OMAKE TIME!
҈җ Artemis' Past: Part 3҉Җ
"You can take a break now, Artemis. Good work." It's been seven years and Artemis is now 10. Artemis had already mastered her Dragon Slaying but she felt it wasn't still complete. "Okay, Artemis. Listen to me. I know you felt that your haven't mastered your magic and that's true. You would start your journey now. So be a good girl and good luck!" Crysanna said. Artemis look at her dragon. "Why are you saying this things?" she asked. Crysanna sighed. "Can't I not?" she said. Artemis thought about it and shook her head. Crysanna smiled. "Here." Crysanna clap her hands together and mist appeared. She then slowly seperated her hands and a clip appeared. "Here. This is for you." Artemis' eyes sparkled. "Really?! Pretty!" Artemis's took it with delight.
Crysanna smiled a little. "Okay then. Sleep!" Artemis gawked at her. "But it's only 3 in the afternoon!" Artemis exclaimed and Crysanna gave a stern look. "Okay fine." Artemis slump down. She entered their cottage and change from knee leggings and tight spaghetti and shoes into white plain dress that ends up to her knees and no shoes. She slump on her bed. 'But I'm not sleepy...' she thought but she was slowly drown into the darkness. "Bye, Artemis. I hopw you'll find a good life now." Artemis heard Crysanna said before she was unconscious.
-The next day, Dawn-
Artemis slowly woke up. She was always awake when dawn hit. That was Crysanna's first lesson. She rise up and stretch. She walk outside expecting Crysanna on her human form and was meditating. But she saw no one. "Must be looking for food." Artemis shrug. Artemis walked a little further with her training clothes and now with slippers and saw the river. She stripped down and started taking a bath.
After some little time, she is now ready. She carried her dress and slippers back to her cottage but she still no one. Inside and Out. "Crysanna?" Artemis called out. She look inside of their cottage and saw a note on her side table. "Why didn't I saw this before?" Artemis pick it up.
Goodbye and Good Luck,
-Crysanna
"G-Goodbye?" her eyes widen and she crystallize the note. She tried sniffing Crysanna out but she got none. Artemis' eyes started to water. "Crysanna! Okay! You got me! Come out!" Artemis' yelled out of know where. Her tears are now falling. "Okay! Fine. Hide and Seek. I'm it! I'm going to find you!" Artemis gets her back pack and stacks some foods and first aid kits.
Artemis run blindly to the forest and look around. She looks everywhere and sometimes she stumbled and trip but she didn't gave up. She stands back up and continue to ran. It was already and she somehow ended up in a village. She look around the village and saw a inn. She look at the sky. "It's getting dark...I should find shelter." she said. She entered the inn and saw a mean looking clerk. "Um...Excuse me." Artemis said and look up.
"What?!" the man said. Artemis flinch. "Um...Could I stay here?" Artemis asked with all of her courage. "Have money?" the man asked. Artemis shook her head. "Then get out!" the man yelled. Artemis had a urge to activate her magic but Crysanna's word rang to her head. "Never use your magic for evil." Artemis inhale and exhale and slowly walked out. She wondered around the place and try to find shelter.
But she was out of luck. Every building light of the town is already off. She walked more and she knows that she was already out of the town. Her stomach grumbled. She look around to seat and saw a tree. She slowly walked there and sat. She took out a apple from her bag and bite. "I guess this would be my new routine..." she muttered. She finish her apple and throw it. "I wonder where am I?" it was dark so she didn't see anything. She just sighed and made a crystal barrier around her. "Time to sleep..."
For the past 3 months, she had searching for her dragon and every time some kids would go near her, she would glare at them. The kids were harmless and just wants to play but she thinks playing is useless. And for shelter, she just fine a good spot and made a crystal barrier. For the past 3 months, everything was fine except for today. She is out of food! So she did the only option: stealing. Can't blame her though, she hadn't eaten for the past week.
The seller had chase her out until the forest entrance. Artemis, though, had entered the forest. Artemis panted hard and clutch the fruits that was on her hand. "An apple, orange and grapes." she muttered. "I'm sorry, Crysanna. I stole." Artemis said as she slowly ate her food. It was peaceful as she played with her magic. She already finish her apple. "Gonna save the others..." she put the other fruits inside her bag. Then she lean on a tree and continue to play with her magic.
She then heard sniffs and soft footsteps coming right her way and it was fast. 'It must be a little further than mine...' Artemis sniff once more. 'And it;s crying so I guess it's harmless.' She thought. Artemis waited for it to come and she ready her magic just in case. Then a black haired girl with elegant dress had stumbled in front of her. The black haired looks up with a teary eyes.
OKAY! DONE! Jesus, it's so hot here so sorry if it's rush! The heat is heating me XD PUN! I made a pun! Did I? Anyway, I guess some of you have already guess who is the black haired? Oh well. So there's a spoiler *frown* OH WELL! I hope you enjoyed!
