Hey, back with chapter 5 of my story, huge thanks to all who reviewed and favorite-d the story, you rock guys! So before I let you read, you have to know that when you read this chap, you will think that you understood the story, which is not gonna be true. I know I'm so evil, but I don't like revealing the plot so soon. Speaking of the plot, a new pairing is added to the story, which is Ace and Mira. I found a way to get them in; they'll appear in chapter 10 or so, also the beginning of the chap will be confusing due to it talking about past events, but when things get back to the present, it will all be understood.

Chapter 5:

The reason why I need revenge.

"I'm so nervous!" a red headed man spoke, while pacing back and forth in the hallway. He was in his late twenties and he was wearing fancy clothing as a golden crown rested on his head. He kept on walking, his features showed worry and impatience, at some point he was about to pull his hair out!

Another man sat on a couch placed in the hall, unlike the first one, he seemed to be much relaxed. He was resting his arms beneath his head, and both of his legs were put on a table before him.
"Calm down your majesty, don't worry, she'll be ok." He said it with his eyes closed, as if nothing was happening around him.

The king's eyes twitched in disbelieve of the coolness and carelessness in his friend's tone. He simply walked to him and held him from his shirt.
"CALM DOWN? Have you no feelings! My wife is about to give birth to my child! How are you possibly asking me to relax? In a matter of seconds, the heir to the throne will be born." The king said. His friend opened his amber eyes, and let out a small chuckle. The king let go of his shirt, and stared at him blankly.

"It's just…you look so funny…when you are nervous Eric!" he managed to say between laughs.

"You have the right to laugh, Marcus. You had your son two months ago," the king said to his long time friend. The conversation of the two was interrupted by a woman with black purplish hair, popping out of the main door.
"Sorry to disturb you guys, but you have to come inside if you wish to see the little princess." She said with a smile. Eric rushed inside followed by Marcus. There on the bed, rested the queen, she had beautiful long blonde lucks and ocean blue eyes. She was surrounded by three other young ladies.

The king sat down next to her, as they both gazed at the white bundle in her hands. The little baby was another version of her father; she had the same hair color, mixed up with lovely chocolate eyes. They both kept on gazing at the long waited gift.

Marcus stared at his friend. He put his arm around a black haired woman, which was one of the, now, four women present in the room. She raised her head slowly to look at him, her emerald eyes staring straight into his.
"Finally, he can rest now." he said. She laughed a little at his statement.

"Ya, it's nice how he will feel the meaning of being a parent. Right?" she asked.

"That will only add much more responsibilities to what he already has!"

"Shiori, Seera, Verona. Will you please come for a second?" The queen called from her place. The said women came closer to her.
"We can't seem to agree on a name for her, I need your help." She said to her friends. They looked at each other for a second before responding.
"How about Alicia*" Verona said. "Because, she's as beautiful as the Alicia flowers," She said with a sweet look on her face, which was something unusual for her since she can really be irritated fast.

"I love it!" the queen squealed with joy. Eric, too, looked impressed by the name, but something didn't seem right about him, though no one noticed except for Marcus.

…

"What's wrong?" The dark browned haired man asked the troubled king. He looked at him then turned his face to the floor once again.
"My daughter…she's a girl. You know the ancient law about female rulers." He answered, sadness shown in his voice.

"Yes, they are not allowed to rule unless they are married to one of the noble's of the court. And…"

"And, the 'bond' must be created between them. I don't have any problem with Alicia getting into an arranged marriage if that will guarantee her right in ruling her country, but…the magical bond…such ancient powers were lost after the great explosion. No one obtains magic any more." He cut his friend short. The man next to him gave a sigh, a big one.
"We are married to witches! Remember? Our wives can help us." He informed. The king mentally slapped himself; he can really be oblivious at times.
"But…" the king started, but Marcus didn't let him continue.

…

One of the palace's rooms was darkened up for this. Only the lights of the candles forming a star lighted the place up. In the middle of the star were two cradles, the sound of the two babies inside them was audible. Following their husbands' requests; the queen and the main lady of the palace, Shiori, stood facing each others. Their two other friends insisted in participating, so now the four witches were surrounding the bright star.

"Are you sure you want your son to be her future husband?" The king asked in a hushed tone. His friend nodded.
"Yes, believe me; Shun will just have to accept it. Besides, Shiori and Kim are so happy they are going to be family." He said with a smile. They watched as the young ladies started mumbling the written spell. A blue light beam came out from one cradle, the other one shown a light pink. The two luminous radiances combined forming a green glow, the whole place was full with bright light, but then it faded away.

"Now, they are connected in every way. They can sense and feel each other's feelings. They are meant to be for one another from now forward." Verona stated calmly, but what she said didn't ease the excitement that filled the air…

'I'm sorry Shun; you will have to go through loosing her again. My dear child, if only I can tell you the whole truth. If only, I can lift this burden off of my chest. I wish you were here, Shiori, because he really needs you' Marcus, the current king, thought waking up from his dream-like state. He was looking at a photo for four girls holding wands, the photo his wife left for him.

'I hope you'll be ok.'

After spending nearly thirty minutes walking aimlessly in the place, Shun finally came to a stop. Dan, who caught up with him after a while, due to Shun being hard to follow, stood next to him gazing around, looking for the wizards, who are supposed to be there.

Shun bent down and looked at the ground.
"They are underground; we must go to the other end before them. We better get going." He said standing back up. He held the locket, which was around his neck, and admired the white flower drawn on it slowly.

'Alicia, I will revenge you' he thought to himself.

"I will take care of the wizards; you get rid of the girl." Dan let it out like an order. Shun flashed a death glare towards him, his green eyes**filled with anger.

"You will turn it into a personal fight. You'll lose your focus and be defeated easily." He stated in a matter of fact tone.

"I hate it when you're logical!" Shun said hitting a rock with his leg. He held tight to his sword as he and Dan continued walking, but this time in a faster pace, after hiding their faces with their long cloaks.

"I knew our end will be in a place like this; dark and wet where no one can hear us screaming!" a small orange fairy spoke.

"Julie, make her stop!" Miono shouted in anger. The small terrified creature flew back into her master's bracelet. Miono's anger controlling problems caused Alice to giggle a little. The place they were walking in was a bit scary; it was lightless and dark, a little flame formed by a spell, that moved around them was the only help in seeing. The water drops falling from the ceiling were creating little ponds which they would step in every now and then. It was an underground tunnel, which the Goloks told them to take, due to the presence of a hidden gate inside it.

"Wow Jul, your fairy doesn't act like you. She's so pessimistic." Runo stated.

"I know, but she can be handy at times, like when she helps me put on my make-up in the morning. And like how we go shopping together and stuff." Julie said happy about her companion.

"That sounds like fun!" Alice said.

"Maybe we can go shopping when we reach earth; I mean you do need normal clothes you know." Julie said gazing at Alice's outfit. She was wearing a dark purple gown on top of it was a transparent cloth, which formed the streamers of her dress. Alice blushed a light pink out of embarrassment.

"Don't worry about her, she cares much about fashion." Runo said.

"Is it cool, you know being whole witches?" Alice asked with curiosity in her voice, Alice herself had magic, but she was only a half witch.

"Wizards," Miono corrected.

"Why do you always say that?" Julie asked, noticing just how many times Miono says that.

"Because, witches are evil green skinned creatures; wizards are kind NORMAL people." She stated.

"What ever," Runo huffed. Alice only giggled. "Now C'mon, we should be closer to the gate." She said to the others,

But she noticed Alice stiffen a bit as her eyes flashed a deep red. She gazed at her, confusion written on her expressions.

"Someone is here." The red head said answering Runo's inner question.

The girls took fighting stances in front of Alice.
"Sorry we had to crash your little party here. Hand over the girl and we might spare you!" A sound appeared, as two figures approached.

"This is an official mission of the wizard's council, go ba-" Runo's words were cut short, by Dan throwing a sword in her direction, lucky for her she was able to dodge it.

"You wanna fight, let's fight!" she said, anger in her voice. "Girls protect Alice, I'll take care of him." She continued the girls nodded; they knew she can take him down alone.

"If you are planning to use magic, think again. We are not affected by it." Dan said with 'I'm so going to win' tone.

"Who said I need magic." Runo said with a grin on her face. She raised her right hand and in seconds her nails grew taller, she split a huge rock into half to demonstrate their strength.

"That's not normal!" Dan said, taking the confidence tone back, and replacing it with a scared one. His fight with her started, but she was gaining the upper hand. Her razor sharp nails broke his sword to pieces, but Dan, for being such a weapons lover, carried more than one sword to fight with, but he was beginning to doubt that they will help.

Shun pulled his sword out and started walking slowly towards the three girls, with each step he takes, the girls get more nervous. Miono charmed a metal stick in order to battle. Shun, though, didn't care and continued to walk. When he was close enough; the fight begun.

He was hitting with such force, and Miono was having troubles with blocking his attacks. To help her teammate, Julie looked at the rocks forming the ceiling just above Shun's head; they started moving until they fell down on top of him, they sighed in relief knowing he got hurt, or…

After the dust was removed, it revealed Shun still standing and unharmed. With some kind of a force field above his head. The two witches stared at him, the only way he could form this power field, was by magic.

"How?" they both asked in unison. Shun smirked, although it can't be witnessed because of the hoodie covering his face, and raised his hand. Both of their eyes widened. His hand had a mark like '~'***, which meant that…

"You are a half wizard?"

Oh, another cliffy! So how was it? Please let me know what are you thinking of it this far.

*: it's pronounced like (Ale-se-ia) and she's Shun's dead fiancée.

**: Ok, I know, why the hell is shun's eyes green? It is for a purpose, but don't worry his cute amber eyes will return later.

***: in chapter three the mark '~~' was a sign of becoming a witch, so it means a complete wizard. But the sign '~' means that he is only half wizard, half Voldon.
