THIS ONE IS FOR DARTHCAT... SORRY ITS NOT TOO GOOD... ILL WORK AND MAKE IT BETTER IF YOU WANT ^.^
That faithful night was twelve years ago, but Sofia remembered it like it happened yesterday. She left the castle in the days following Cedric's death. She couldn't stand being there. Everything reminded her of him. She left and ran away. Eventually she met up with a traveling Sorcerer who agreed to take her on as an apprentice after she showed him her skill with a wand. He told her of all kinds of spells. Spells that could turn you green, or any color really, spells to make you invisible, spells to turn you into an animal, some to even make your appearance and voice change, but one spell stood out the most. A spell to bring someone back from the grave, BUT, only IF they had unfinished business. Sofia inquired about that one a lot. Her new teacher wouldn't teach her. Not because he didn't want to, but because he, himself, did not know the spell.
It didn't take long for Sofia to surpass her teacher. She went on to another. Then another. Soon she was just as good as Goodwyn himself, but not as well known.
She traveled for years, not wanting to go back to that castle till she found the spell she had heard of. She tried talking to wizards older than the hills, mages older than the seas... But they all told her to look in the "Scroll of Life". Where could she find it? Of coarse in a library hidden in the most dangerous of jungles. Why was there a LIBRARY in a JUNGLE anyway? These wizards are weird people.
Eventually she made her way there and got the Scroll. She scanned through till she saw the spell. "Ut rediret, quid aliud agendum" was the spell she needed. She read further. It was one of the most difficult spells to perform. If done wrong the caster could die. Likewise, if done right, but the person has no unfinished business, another soul will comeback who does have unfinished business. She rolled up the scroll, put it back and left. She found what she needed, she was going to go back to Enchancia... and bring back Cedric.
King Roland, Queen Miranda, Amber, and James had all been upset by Sofia's sudden disappearance. Then they got news she ran away because everywhere she looked reminded her of Cedric. The twins felt like it was their fault for not being there for their sister. Roland blamed himself for hesitating. Maybe if he didn't hesitate Cedric would have had a chance. Miranda, she... She was a bundle of emotions. She felt she should be blamed, cause she just let her daughter be. She didn't try to help her, or talk. She just let her lay in her room till she felt she was ready. Now she was gone.
The doors of the castle opened slightly and in walked... What appeared to be a sorceress. After "Sasha", the family has been wary of Sorceresses, even still. The royal sorcerer came in and cast a spell.
"Revelabunt!" He shouted, and a red glow surrounded her. The magic was weak, she could feel it. Nothing happened though. "There re no disguising spells on her my king" The Sorcerer, Rodrick, told the king. Roland and his family visibly relaxed and beckoned the Sorceress forward.
"Good evening! May I ask your name?" He cheerfully asked the woman in front of him.
"Why father... Don't recognize your own daughter? It's me, Sofia" The young woman smiled at the royal family. Her blue eyes shining. Miranda looked at her intently. Was this her baby girl?
"S-Sofia? What did I give the twins when we came to live in the castle?" Miranda asked. She didn't want to let herself be happy for something that's not real.
"Patches of their family crest you hand sewed, mother. Why do you ask?" Sofia had asked her curiously. Next thing she knew, her mothers arms were around her in a loving embrace.
"Oh Sofia! You're back! Where did you go?!" Her mother was now crying. Roland came running down with James and Amber. All three embracing Miranda and Sofia in a hug.
As much as Sofia missed them, she had something to do. "Mother, I missed you guys too, but I'm here on business. I-I found a spell that will hopefully bring back Mr. Cedric." Everyone let go and looked at the young lady. Sadness on their faces.
"Honey you can't bring ba-" Miranda started, but was cut off.
"No, I can mother. I became a sorceress... I'm as good as Goodwyn now! or so I've been told. I traveled far and found a spell that would bring back someone, but only if they had unfinished business. It's very dangerous to do, only a handful of sorcerers have done it since it was created." She told her mother and father. They looked terrified.
"Sofia you just came back, and now you want to do a dangerous spell to bring back Cedric I will NO-" Roland stopped himself. That's what he told Miranda that night. "Sofia it's dangerous... Why do it?" He asked his youngest daughter instead.
"Because father. He means more to me than you'll ever know." With out giving them a second to talk, she went up to Cedric's old lair, currently unused, and began to set up. Her family followed her up there.
"Please get out. You can get seriously hurt... Or killed. Please leave!" She moved her wand and everyone flew out the door and it slammed shut, locking itself in the process. Sofia steadied herself. Breathe in. Breathe out. Confidence. That's what she needed. She CAN do this. before she could second guess her self, she began.
"Ut rediret, quid aliud agendum!" She spun and twisted her wrist in the exact way it showed in the book. Just a millimeter off and everything would be blown. A silvery Stream came out of her wand and covered the whole room so it was no longer visible. Someone started to come into focus. A purple coat... Yellow bowtie... Brown, fingerless gloves... a green vest... Grey bangs... It was Cedric! He looked as though he hadn't aged a day! (Though being dead she doubts he would have.)
Cedric looked around confusedly. "Where am I?" He finally asked.
"You are in your lab. I cast a spell... To bring you back to life." She looked at her sorcerer. tears brimming out of her eyes.
"What? Why would you want me back? Who are you?" He looked at the Sorceress, who had to have been very powerful in order to cast such a spell.
Sofia cracked a watery smile. "Mr. Ceedric... It's me... Sofia... I missed you so much!" She couldn't hold back anymore and ran up to him, embracing him in a hug.
"S-Sofia?! How long was I dead?" He stammered out, pushing the woman away from him.
"Twelve years... I tried to bring you back sooner! I really did! But that scroll was so hard to find... Then it was so far away and-" Cedric silenced her with a finger on her lips.
"Sofia... Why do you want me back here?" His question was blunt and to the point.
"Because Mr. Cedric... I feel you were taken away from the world... From me... too soon." She looked down. She didn't realize how silly that sounded. Cedric smiled at the young woman.
"I thought so too." Sofia looked up to see him smiling, then he did something he never did before. He wrapped her in a hug. A bone crushing hug. "Lets go back to the living." With those words the silver melted away and they were, indeed, in Cedric's lab.
"So a sorceress now huh?" He smirked at the woman, he knew she'd do well as a sorceress.
"Yes. Some say I'm as good as your father! I still try to be as sensational as you though!" and for the first time in years Sofia giggled as Cedric lifted her into the air and kissed her cheek. He was back. He was finally back!
