Before Jewel allowed the four teens that had been in her care to go out the door with her sister. She wished them all good luck and each and tried to hold back her tears while hugging each some. She almost smothered Dissain and Ferice within her perky breasts during this good bye. The boys when their heads were released from her iron grip took large breaths of air. Not once did they wanted a second hug form Jewel or Ellets' when it was offered. They ended up telling Lolli and Toffy they wee going to wait outside the two of them. Out the door of Jewel's pumpkin shaped home in rush in fear of being smothered by Jewel once more.
"Wuss!" Toffu called her brother, "What did you seen in him?"
Why would Lolli want to ask that type of question after what she was about to go through this day. She always knew she would be picked to become a queen candidate when compotation came up. She never knew it would be against one of the children of Chocolat and Pierre. Since Toffy may came off rough and scary didn't mean the girl knew how to handle her self. Her brother or Dissain was the one she once carried a torch of love for and would willing give up throne to. Leaving the girl at moment scared out of her wits end about what was about to happen.
"Can we get going?" Lolli tried not to sound so scared.
"Seems she's right." Ellets looked to Jewel's grandfather clock.
Clock was imported from the human world by Heather around the time Jewel reached her first achievement In Magical World. It was meant to be a gag gift toward her sister to tease her about the achievement. That ended up being one of many treasured items that Jewel kept in her second home.
"Be safe and please request to come live me instead of stuffy castle." Jewel sniffled trying not to cry.
Lolli could nodded her head because her nervous were way to wrecked to use actual words in from of a sentence. Toffy just wanted to get out of this place in order to get the exam over with. Ellets was left to escort both the girls out the door while telling Jewel everything was fine. This was where their familiars followed behind them out the door that would close itself.
"I hope his going to be alright." Bethel squealed.
Jewel ended up allowing him onto her shoulder long enough she started to allow tears to fall from her face. Tears that streamed down her face were clearly seen by Bethel parked on her shoulder. Touched the mouse in a emotional way since it reminded him of when Dissain broke up with Ferice. He ended up using his little tail in reaching out matter to wipe out each tear. Finding him self using familiar words of comfort he once used for Dissain on her.
"Everything is going to be." He squealed.
"Makes me wonder how a nice little guy like you could be turned into a mouse." Jewel thought he was to sweet.
"Was caught in the planning stages of taking over the Magical World." He explained, "Got me turned into this."
Jewel ended up smiling before asking him if he liked any kind of fruit as she made her way to the kitchen. The loud squeal of glee she got from her little friend on her shoulder told he was going to have a list.
A few feet away from the base of Piman Mountain a small encampment had been set up and was occupied. People that were walking around the area were members of Magical World's high class. Some were committee members that had selected the two candidates for queen, or members of Queen Vanilla's court. Here to see which girl gained enough magical experience to pass this exam.
Since before them all were two girls in their witchy attired with their knights behind them. Awaiting for Heather Whales to tell them all what they were going to do on Piman Mountain. Who would step on stage instead of just appearing on in encampment like everybody else. Waving to everyone she knew by their first name before facing the two girls with smile.
"You girls already know that this is to establish what the both of you learned during your preparation in human world." Heather stared those girl down like they done something wrong, "By putting the magical powers you have collected to find a magical herb that you know Dream Grass."
Dissain and Ferice mentally noting that Dream Grass was rare ingredient that couldn't be found just anywhere. Along with remembering it could be used as replacement ingredient in most high level potions. Could be used as a special component in making a illusion based incenses. Aside from using its raw state to manipulate dream state of who ever it was used on.
Having this location picked out for finding this ingredient was because of the environment and climate factor. Since the grass needed a rich soil and enough moisture in the air in order to grow. With a places in volcanic ash and drying lava then this was the place to be.
"Good luck girls." Heather waved her hand.
The had those girls being picked up in the air by a separate air gusts of wind powerful enough to relocate them. Taken to opposites ends of the Mountain's base so they could start their search. Leaving the boys alone to worry if either one of them were going to be aright, or come back alive. Who wouldn't' be bothered by adults thanks to Ellets' request to leave them alone. Leaving them to wonder instead why Jewel was attending this with rest of them. Before either one of them could call on her on their Skull Phone* when Ellets stepped in to answer.
"It revolves around a scandal that took place at the funeral and memorial of Rockin' Robin." Ellets' sighed, "It wasn't a pleasant sight."
He wanted to go on about what had happen if the eye sockets of skull shaped communication device. That was hung from a clip on a belt loop of someone's pants that belonged to Ferice. He ended up unclipping so he could hand it over to Ellets knowing who was calling.
"How's everything?" Jewel's voice came out of the mouth of the skull phone.
Ellets ended up plugging in head set into ear cannel on the skull make this conversation private. Not like he wanted everyone around him and the boys to know content of call. Leaving a few eyes to stare at Ellets have his private conversation while Dissain and Ferice moved away.
"Think your sister is doing alright out there?" Ferice asked looking toward the Mountain.
"Its Lolli I'm worried about." Dissain knew she wasn't a out door person, "We were still in middle of basic battle spells."
Speaking of the two girls that were placed on opposites ends of the Mountain with a time limit of sun down. Would concern any one who took the roles of knights for the girls in this exam. Since neither one of the girls knew any thing about outdoors or even camping within the Magical World. Let alone had enough experience that didn't consist of the field trips headed by Ava.
These two girls could be found almost halfway up the Mountain using different means to hike. Toffy had been complaining about every little thing that would make her trip or cough. Regretting she didn't speak to her brother or mother about possible advice on searching for Dream Grass. Unlike Toffy who was using her mother's Searching Ball to look for the item. Her nervousness wasn't helping her when she activates the magical item in mumbled voice.
"Where is Ferice or my stupid brother when you need them?" Toffy kicked at a dried out bush.
She ended being scratched by a jagged branch that didn't have any leafs or signs of life to it. Leaving her favorite stocking to be torn in two as good amount of blood seeped form the liner scratch on her leg. As she had to keep on walking mumbling to her self about how pointless this was. Wanting so badly to be back in the human world seeping raspberry juice with lime soda. While sitting beside her brother and Ferice learning about differences between glamour and disguise spells.
Lolli was floating around on flora shaped disk that had a spinning bottom that allowed it to be flown around. She was followed the high lighted trail the Searching Ball left for her to follow. It allowed to witness this wonderful light show in mid flight since she was several feet off the ground. Making her relieved she wasn't walking around harming scratching up her ankles.
"Lets see if this trail isn't a dead end." She was hoping.
Light trail of the Searching Ball led her to outside of a cave where on outside was covered in color changing plant. Smile that formed on her face could tell anyone that she had found what she been looking for. She ended up bring fourth her wand she would hold above her head. Spins in a circular motion that sent up a liner form of light in color of her hair that spun around. Before reaching high enough into the air it bursts like a fire cracker found in the human world.
That could be clearly seen form afar by the people in the encampment and Toffy who also found same plant. It was resting near an filmier oasis that dwarves use from drinking to cooking. Who ended up mistaking Toffy for her mother accusing her for almost changing Oasis' flavor. Didn't stop her form sending out her own signal that also would be noticed from encampment. Causing a stir up since this exam for candidates for Queen of Magical World.
"A tye!" Heather couldn't believe her words.
"This is going to be interesting." Her husband couldn't but joke about it.
Dissain and Ferice were speechless about what was going down wanting to Ellets about what happen. Since the guy had his back turned when both signals went up appeared in the air. Not like he was going to stop a conversation with Jewel to want to turn around become apart of the chaos. Even when his bookie had walked up to boy telling them Mr. Wellington had own a large sum ecure.
"It seems the 0 to ten odds about a impossible tye taking place during the exams actually happened." The bookie mumbled the words.
"We'll inform him." Dissain tried not to laugh.
"Delivery the ecure to address." Ferice hands the bookie a piece of paper.
Not like the guy could fish the two boys in possibly joining the betting going on because of Ellets. The guy was known for his temper when it came defending certain laws like underage betting. After agreeing to show up with the Ecure that would be owed to Ellets for winning. The bookie was gone when Ellets finished up his conversation volunteering to pick up the girls.
Not like the gossiping of people who hadn't moved to do something about the girls would get him an answer. Since he ended up getting Dissain to hand over his magic carpet while Ferice tagged along. Leaving the scene of people running around like their heads were cut off.
Jewel was in middle hosting a private meeting with in her Magical world home's sitting room. Discussing the future of her four charges with the very people that each one of them had come to call their parents. Starting with only Lolli's father being Woo beside Ferice's mother. Both of Toffy's and Dissain's parents sat apart of them wondering why they were called here.
"I've come to find out a few things about your children that not all of you know." Jewel stated.
After Dissain had come to live with her within the human world after terrible fall out he went through Ferice. He told her he didn't want any apart of the Magical World and wanted to become her protege. After Ferice came to live with her after he was found in forest of Magical World. He was willing to give up everything to be with Dissain after they been through. The girls wanted two different things that had nothing to do with either of what boys wanted.
"Now lets hear what you all got to say." Jewel stared serving Tea.
This had a levitating silver platter shifting from person to person offering rose printed tea cups to Jewel's guests. Woo ended up getting up from his seat and marching to the front door. Making it clear he needed to speak with his daughter about this newest discovery made to him. Ferice's mother ended up crushing two tea cups from suppressed angry after what she heard. She wanted her second eldest to start training for special OPs in queen's guard. Chocolat and Pierre didn't really mind as long as both their children were happy with who they were.
