CHAPTER 4 :Forgotten Tale

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"Don't you guys have any appointment in the Human World?"

"No, Ofelia, we have none for the rest of today."

"So I could take the Princess for a walk in the city?"

"The Elders have direct orders not to let Princess Sophie out of the palace unless one of the Knights goes with her."

"I know, but don't you think that it's too much? I mean, she needs time with herself alone."

"We can do nothing about it, we're just servants and we follow orders."

"We're also her friends! And to think that you're infatuated with her."

"It's none of your business."

"You!!!"

"I'm not even acceptable. You know what I have done to her. It's a sin, but I've no choice. She's in great pain yet she doesn't show it. She's such a beautiful creature. She's more than what I'll ever deserve."

"You're too cruel on yourself. You didn't want to erase her memories, you just followed the instructions of the Elders."

"Azure, please don't blame yourself. I don't mind it even one bit. I don't care if you caused me the loss of my former identity. If what you say about my condition when you found me is true, then I'm better off without my memory. And you know that I...that I care for you."

"I didn't know you eavesdrop, Princess. Where did you learn that?"

"Oh, Ofelia. I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. Don't worry about it."

"Princess, do you have anything against the Elders?"

"I couldn't say Azure."

"Princess Sophia..."

"I just couldn't understand why are they treating me like this."

"Princess, excuse the expression, but it's because you are different. Not only you're a Blanca Royale but because...well, you're..."

"Because I have witch blood?"

"Y-yes." Ofelia winced at her mistake.

"Sophia. Think of it as that they're treating you as someone very special. And also because you're the most powerful angel alive and they can't risk those Lowlife people learning of your existence. But..."

"No, Azure. I know. I have long accepted that I'm a Halfblood. Don't worry anymore about it. And I think I'll just have a nap."

"Then we'll leave you for now."

"Thank you."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

I still don't understand.

Sophie's eyes went warm with tears as she stared out of her windows. The birds landed on her balcony, they wanted to come and sing with her. But they can't get past the seal that will zap anything that comes too close.

Are they afraid of me? Is it because I have witch blood? Those crazy Elders just want to use me as weapon. The Knights are kind enough. But why won't they tell me about my past? All I know is that my mom lives in Maginx below the Sanctuary and that her name's Sofia. There's many things that confuses me much.

The birds flew away singing a sad song.

I feel strange. That guy with eyes the color of midday sky, I think he's...

Sophie blushed and sat up on bed suddenly.

Gosh. What am I thinking? BAKA! Don't dare fall for that human, stupid girl!

She slept afterwards. Dreaming about the blond boy. They were skating on the frozen lake. He's holding her, guiding her in the dance. She felt so happy. He's smiling at her. She smiled back at him. I don't even know his name.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Cinnamon refilled her teacup as they waited for her to explain.

"You guys certainly know the Lake of Mirrors, Bellvue."

"Yes. The lake that lies between the territories of the Ogres and Witches."

"Yes, it is. Centuries ago, that lake appeared where Angeles supposed to be."

"Angeles?"

"The Angel Sanctuary. Where the winged race resides."

"Angels were supposed to have whit wings. Why does Duke got blue ones?"

"Hey! That's rude! Why do you care?!"

"I'll explain it. Let me tell you a story hidden away in the Past for the people's own good..."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Once there was a great magical empire called Lumeria. Magical beings live peacefully among each other.

Two races of people that summon magic exist in this blessed country: the Angels and the Witches.

The angels are considered the Nobles. Being the race that can harness higher level of Magic, they consisted the Ranks of Politics and took themselves as the Children of the Creator. They have great wings that adds to their regal air.

"Generally, their wings are the same color as their hair. But a clan of angels are different. They had white wings and had symbol markings on their body. Commonly on their faces. Mixed blood became common and only one of the two birthmarks appears on some generations (take Victor here for example). Yet it is as always that the heir to the throne has both whit wings and the special markings."

The Witches on the other hand, consisted the rest of the citizenship in Lumeria. It has been their duty to serve the Noblessa de los Angeles.

"The family of white angels that I mentioned a moment ago is the De La Lune Clan. They are the Royal family where the Lumiere comes from."

The Lumiere is the Queen of Angeles. It is that her spouse does all the administration and duties. But she's the most important angel for the whole race. Angeles is the Holy Capital in the Realm of Magic. The destiny of Angeles is entwined with Lumiere. The energy that keeps the place alive comes from her. If the Queen dies and no new Lumiere takes the throne within a year, all life in the Angel Sanctuary will perish and everything else will be decreased into rubbles.

"When a couple takes the throne, their destiny is bound forever so they die at the same time (a romantic kind of dying, if you ask me . ). The Queen being an Angel is definitely powerful but she will die at the Moment that her magic becomes insufficient to support life in the Sanctuary."

The Royal Couple was backed up by the Council of Elders. All members of the Council are Angels. They show political arrogance and selfishness. But they are respected by the De la Lune Clan so they can virtually manipulate many decisions in the Government. The role of the Council is of Court. They are the ones that decide the fate of lawbreakers. Their ruthless punishments are very much feared resulting in a time where only the powerful and the Council themselves dare break a law.

A tragedy happened that caused the Angels to isolate themselves. They used their magic to remove the Sanctuary from the land and raise it up to the heavens, directly above the lake that formed where the sacred capital was before. All angels left and went up to the Sanctuary, where they live now. There, they could still watch how the witches live.

The same incident caused the appearance of another race among the witches, the Ogres.

"It's Glaze?" Vanilla asked.

"The first Ogre?" Pierre looked somewhat surprised.

"You don't know Pierre?" Haux raised an eyebrow.

"Do you? Well, ever since, he didn't tell me much."

Saule scratched his head. "Wait, what does it got to do with Chocolat again?"

"I'm not done with the story yet."

Many generations passed. Then, the young prince of the new Angel Sanctuary ventured beyond his home and into the land below Angeles. There, he met a girl, a witch, a Queen Candidate. Keeping their friendship known to no others than Her best friend and His brother. In time, their friendship turned to love. But their difference took toll on the relationship when the girl discovered that the prince has been married to one of his kind and didn't tell her even if they're still together. They decided to separate for the sake of all involved. But not before the damage has been done. They still met secretly for the prince truly loved the witch, though they can never be together freely again. The girl lost her candidacy for the Jury decided that it would be dangerous for the whole of Maginx if she wins. It became apparent that the people of Angeles felt that their Queen was deeply wronged by the prince's relationship with a witch. After that it has been a law among angels that the residents of Maginx, as what the land below them was called, are to be hated. Since then, no angel has been seen roaming the Magical World.

"So?" Haux said impatiently.

"So what?" Poivre stretched on the couch.

"So where in that overly dramatic story does Chocolat fit in?"

"Hmmm..." Cinnamon continued to stare passively. "You don't understand. I'm the witch in the story."

"WHAT?!" Everyone except Poivre looked extremely surprised.

"You heard it right, don't gape at me. I fell in love with Marcus Alejandro de la Lune, prince of the Angel Sanctuary and... and he's Chocolat's father."

"So Chocolat is a..."

"Yes. Because my brother Alex is her Sire, she's half witch, half angel. She don't actually belong in any race."

Cinnamon closed her eyes. "That might make her an outcast. But she inherited the best from everyone. That makes her extremely powerful."

Poivre suddenly turned serious. "That means she is potentially valuable to anyone of the sides that would want complete domination over the Magical World."

"So that's why they kidnapped her?" Pierre asked.

"Maybe, if you think of it as the plan of the Elders."

"Pierre, how could you say she's kidnapped?"

"The shadows around the magic circle where she's in suggests that its a seal where she couldn't get out of. And I... I don't want to give up the hope that she's forgiven me before that happened."

Vanilla has been looking thoughtful for a while when she decided to voice out what has been on her mind.

"Duke... You know a lot about the spells angels use, right?"

"Yes. What about it?"

"That strange mirror...The shiny thing Chocolat broke...what was it?"

"Okay. I'll explain the concept..." (Heh. It's Duke's turn to do the lecture...=^.^=)

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Witches takes Hearts, as we all know, to collect Eccures (what's the spelling of that word?). But Angels take something more important than simple emotions. The magic item you saw is called the Mirror.

When you peek at a person's Heart or when you take it, the emotion with it simply fades. But even just to touch an individual's Mirror the owner tend to be hurt . More so when you peek at the Reflection.

Mirrors reflect a person's memories, their dreams and wishes and even their fears. Once broken, the person experiences total loss. They will remember nothing about who they were or what their past was. It's a total eradication of a person's identity.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"How?"

"Like sadness?"

"Yes. Or it could be anger or love. Any emotion that can be astounding may suffice."

Vanilla suddenly smiled. (You know that sweet smile that's her trademark.) "Then maybe I could suggest something that can return her Memories." Haux and Saule jumped up. "Oh, yeah."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
