A week ago I found out that there was the Annual Magic Council Dimensional meeting was being held today. Also last week I got a job at Alfea and had a long argument with my parents about moving into Alfea. They finally allowed me to go and yesterday I moved in to my room. They haven't made new quarters yet so Flora and I will my sharing, but I have no problem with that.
I know I am not a very dramatic person, well not all the time. But today at this meeting that I know they tried so hard for me not to know about, I have to bring in that dramatic flair. I have changed into my Fairy form. My hair is in a low messy bun and shapes the base of my head in curls, while my bangs stay out. My outfit is the long blue skirt that is long enough it drags behind me when I walk. My long sleeve tight midriff goes to just below my neck and my fairy clothes are covered with patterns of soft pink and blues and alined with tiny crystals and flowers. I must admit I look quite nice with my wings flaring out the back, a true powerful fairy.
I walk up the stairs in my heels of the Erakyon castle. It's typical they held it here. I reach the foyer of the great hall and see thousands of people outside waiting in line for their audience with the Magic Council. I grit my teeth at the que. Guards are at the door to the great hall. They open it for a woman to be let out, before a name is called and the next person is let in. Now I will have to be overly dramatic and might have to use my powers to get in.
I straighten up; shoulders back as I walk through the crowd. Surprisingly people begin to part for me, I guess they still might be afraid of me from last year. I approach closer to the giant double doors. As I am looking mainly down at the people that watch me very carefully while my heels strut on the marble floor echoing in the silence.
The guards notice me and have a concerned look on their faces when I am now as close as I am allowed to the door.
"Princess Bloom, I am sorry but you are permitted to wait with the others for your hearing." The Eraklyon guard says sternly looking me straight in the eye.
"I understand that, but I promise I will be quick." I say back. The man who went in before comes out and jumps at the sight of me before going back to the crowd of people. I step forward to the guard as his eyes grow more concerned. My eyes glare back at him as I walk past and with my magic, freeze the guards in place. I walk to the massive double doors and push both open, using a little of my powers to do so as they fling open wide as I stride, might I say ,effortlessly through.
The setup is a little different than a hearing. There is a large table with some of the elders and Uther in the centre high up above the stairs. On the left is another table including others like Faragonda and Saladin. On the right are the royal members who include Erendor and a very annoyed Sky. From their high rise there is a podium at the base and that's where I walk to before placing both hands on the sides and smile up and see Uther more frustrated than ever before.
"Princess Bloom, it is a delight for you to be here, I had no idea I would be seeing you today" Uther says with a bitter smile. I bow my head with a response.
"But I am very sorry to say that since you live on Earth as your residency, you do not live in the Magical dimension meaning that this event is not for people who do not live in this dimension." He says smugly, mocking his sympathy.
"I'm sorry, but I think you are mistaken, as of last week I was offered a teaching job at Alfa, meaning my new residency there. I do believe Magix is part of the Magic dimension, is it not?" I say, me trying to fight back a smile when I see Uther look at me, or glare at me in that matter. He turns to Faragonda and they have words before he turns back to face me.
"Well, I must have been, please state your case Princess." Uther says.
"As of six months ago I have been sending letters to the Magic council concerning the realise of my Grandfather Hogan, from the Omega Dimension. For I believe he was unfairly sentenced. And yet I do not even get a letter back." I state.
There's muffled talk between the elders. Before Uther turns back to look at me.
"Princess I am sorry, the council has been busy as such and I formally apologize for not getting to your letters "he says bowing in his seat as an apology." But… concerning your Grandfather's sentence, I am afraid it still stands."
I clench the side of the podium harder in utter frustration" And why may I ask?"
"Your grandfather was guilty of many things Princess, there is nothing that can change that." Uther says coldly.
"I was just as guilty, or more, and I was not sentenced to the omega dimension?" I rebut back, exertion in my words as my knuckles turn white from clenching the podium to hard.
"Bloom" he says gently, mocking me as if I was a six year old child." Your grandfather wasn't sentenced to the Omega dimension for his crimes he committed with you. This was for something he did years ago." Uther points out.
"And what might that be, exactly" I can't help but hiss.
"I find it funny Princess that you never asked why he faked his death, why for all those years did he hide?"
I hate when Uther makes light on something I have over looked. It is something I wonder now, why fake your own death like that, I told him why I did it but he never told me his reasons.
"Well if your lift his sentence I might be able to find out" I say back ,eying Uther.
"I am sorry, but Hogan will remain in the Omega dimension" He says more strongly ending this debate before banging his staff on the ground and I know this is over, my chance is gone.
I annoyingly bow before I turn, walking towards the doors before angrily lashing both my arms out in the air to forcefully push open the double doors. As they fly open it knocks the guards to the walls outside, and I stride by them and through the sea of people until I was out of the castle. I waited on the steps for a bit, pacing in anger.
I decided after my fail on releasing Hogan I wanted to see Sky. I was here in Eraklyon after all. I flew up around the castle as I got to the familiar balcony of Sky's window. I sat in the corner leaning against the spare wall that was left between the doors and the railing and pop open a book to start studying for my class next semester.
It was about 12 30 at night when a door slamming woke me up as I whipped my head from against the railing. I must have fallen to sleep waiting. I peer to the left through the glass door to see a tense Sky taking off his jacket as he slowly and tiredly undoes the buttons
"Why the hell would she do that?" Sky hisses in frustration and at first I think he is talking to himself when I see Brandon emerge from the side of his bed.
"Sky, you know it was going to take a lot for her to even get a hearing in the first place" I hear Brandon reply back.
"I know that, but what does that prove to my father. She was in Eraklyon and I can't believe she behaved like that. I am trying to convince my Father that she is this amazing person when all he saw was the way she knocked those guards off their feet" He retorts frustrated. And I feel guilty by what he is saying.
I see though Brandon trying to keep a straight face, but then I see him laugh a bit and Sky throws a cushion at him, which hits him right in the head. I notice though Sky starts to laugh.
"Brandon- It's not funny" I hear Sky trying to stop laughing.
"Oh come on Dude, Bloom finally taught those guards a lesson and their faces after…" Brandon continues to laugh.
"I know but…." Sky stops and sighs before falling back onto his bed.
"I get it Sky, believe me I really do … I'll see you in the morning" Brandon says as he playfully throws the pillow back at Sky before exiting the room.
I quietly grumble about what was said and I slide the glass door open, being as silent as possible. Sky hasn't moved when I stand in his room leaning against the wall near the door to the balcony.
"What was wrong with my behaviour Sky" I say loud and clear, and Sky shoots from laying on his back and turns to face me. I glare at him and I think he picks up on the fact that I heard his recent conversation.
"You know what" he growls silently, before standing up and taking off his jacket and moving on to unbutton his white shirt.
"Excuse me" I hiss back, tired and probably just as annoyed as him.
"Oh come on, Bloom." He says back turing to face me." That was really uncalled for today."
"Well I am sorry if trying to get my only living relative back, is such a problem to you. And I thought you found it funny."
"Yeah, well my father thought otherwise." He shoots back before taking off his shirt and putting it in his closet opposite his bed.
"I don't care what your father thought of me today, I did what I had to do" I say back rising my voice.
"What the hell do you mean, you don't care what my father thinks, he's the reason we can't be together and you're pulling acts like that, purposely injuring our guards." Sky huffs out as he comes closer to me. I actually have nothing to say to that, he's right. I don't want to admit it but I do any way. I am not mad at Sky. I am mad at the fact I failed Hogan, I couldn't get him out. Also the fact that it seems more people knew him better than I did.
"I'm sorry…" I whisper. I don't even realize I was crying until a feel the tears down my cheeks. I guess it finally sinks in that I might not see Hogan again. I quickly wipe the tears away and look up at Sky how still wears his stern, annoyed expression.
"I should go" I say and head for the veranda before his hand pulls around my wrist.
"Bloom… don't go" He whispers gently pulling me back. He encloses me in his arms and I rest against his bare chest. I move my head to look up and he kisses my forehead softly and brushes his bottom lip against it.
"I'm sorry to; I know you wanted to save Hogan." He says gently.
"I'll find a way" I whisper pulling back a bit to look more clearly at his face." Well, I'm tired; seriously I think I sprained my butt out there from sitting for 6 hours."
Sky just laughs at that and pulls away to hold both my arms and stretches them out.
"You look beautiful Bloom" He says gently looking me up and down before resting back on my eyes.
"Thank you" I say back and start to move in closer in to kiss him but something stops me.
"I knew it!"
