Esmeralda shifted uncomfortably in the bed. She had an earsplitting headache. She rubbed her head. Getting up was a challenge, due to the crazy dress she was still wearing. There was a full length mirror in the corner of the room. She walked over to it and looked at herself. What the heck had happened?

"I claimed you. " A stunning woman walked into the room. She looked a bit like an older, much prettier Esmeralda.

"Who are you?" Essa asked nervously.

"Your godly parent. Or primordial parent. Whatever you want to call the circumstances. "

Say hi to your mother for me. Esmeralda remembered what her father had said. He had obviously known that Essa would meet her mom. She would talk to her mother afterwards about it.

"Which one? Grover said there were different ones."

" There are. I am Chaos, Queen of the Void. I'm also your mom." Chaos replied.

"Oh. What is a void?" Essa said curiously.

"The Void. It basically means abyss, and that is a deep hole. Generally one can't see the bottom of the pit. Mortals named my kingdom the Void. Void also means nothingness. Or so they want to believe. My kingdom is the universe. "

"Wow."

" You are my only heir, so if I choose to retire, you would take over my kingdom. "

Esmeralda nodded slowly. "Uh huh."

"That means you are a princess. Every night, while you are asleep, I will teach you how to control your magic, politics, and generally spend time with you. Would you like that? "

"Sure!" Esmeralda now had very vibrant purple hair. The minute magic had been mentioned , she was immediately hooked.

"In that case, we need to have a crowning ceremony." Upon seeing Esmeralda's unsure facial expression, she explained. "You will just get a crown to show you status and a traditional throne. Oh and a familiar...

"Okay." Esmeralda had one burning question. " Do you know how to use an aerial hoop? My dad said I would find somebody who could help me, but... " She trailed off.

"I can help you with that, yes. You ready?" Squeezing Esme's hand, she led the six (almost seven year old) down the galactic themes halls. An huge throne room was revealed when Chaos pushed open a pair of ornate double doors.

There were Six thrones in a semicircle. Each throne had its own personality. It matched its occupant perfectly.

A beautiful woman in a simple black dress with a starry cape sat in the first one. Golden bracelets effortlessly accentuated her chocolate coloured skin and she smiled warmly. A small wink was directed at Esmeralda. "I'm Nyx. Primordial of the night."

The next throne was pink and red. Decorated with pink and red hearts pierced with arrows, it was impressive, but Essa much preferred Nyx's throne, which was black with golden stars and moons. The throne was occupied by a 20 year old guy. He obviously hadn't put any effort in his appearance, since he was wearing a tacky Frozen hoodie that said 'Love is an open door.', and a pair of grungy looking sweatpants.

"Eros! The one time I tell you to put an effort into your appearance! " Chaos hissed. He ignored her and turned to study Esmeralda's features.

"Soulmate, huh? Primordial of love and lust. Did Chaos tell you where babies come from? " he snickered.

"My dad told me. I don't need the talk again. Since you are asking, do you need me to tell you?" Esmeralda retorted. Her hair turned indigo. Sad and happy. An odd combination, but it suited her.

The dude in the next chair was wearing a pressed suit. His chair was iron and seemed to literally be flaming. He had a sort of blueish skintone. He lowered his sunglasses to glance at her. He rolled his eyes and said in a bored tone: "Tartarus, primordial of he-"

"No swearing! She's six!" Chaos scolded.

"She'll live."

"I know how to swear. He was gonna say hell. " Esmeralda piped up 'helpfully'.

"You can swear? Prove it." Tartarus looked at her sceptically .

"Shut the f*ck up and stop bullying me." Esmeralda smiled sweetly.

Nyx snorted. "I like her already!"

The next chair was empty. It was made of some sort of shimmery black stone. It was unoccupied, so Essa decided it must belong to her mother.

The next throne was polished wood. Vines and flora adorned the throne artistically. Esmeralda liked the use of nature on the statuesque chair. The woman who was sitting on the armrest was wearing a pretty green chiton with ivy wrapped around her arms. Flowers were braided into her hair and didn't seem to have wilted. She was also in the middle of a passionate kiss with the occupant of the last throne.

It was a buff looking guy wearing a suit with cloudy skies on it. It was a strange print to have on a suit, but he managed to pull it off better than Esmeralda would have. His throne was an elaborate depiction of changing weather. It was pretty cool, to say the least. Too eye-catching for Esmeralda, but it was interesting.

"Gaia is the primordial of earth and Ouranous is the primordial of the skies. They are married and are apparently trying for ANOTHER kid, if we are to judge by their making-out. " Eros informed her dryly.

Chaos clapped her hands together forcefully. "It's a pleasure to have you with us Gaia and Ouranous. Would you please listen?"

Gaia raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps." She said smirking.

"All in favour for Esmeralda to be the official heir to the Void?"

Nyx, Eros, Gaia raised their hands. Ouranous looked at Gaia and raised his hand as well. Tartarus smirked and raised his hand. The others looked at him with surprise.

"What? She is gonna make this boring council interesting. Finally. " He defended himself.

Chaos raised her hand. "That makes it unanimous." She stated smiling.

She walked over to her throne and picked up a tiara that Esmeralda hasn't noticed previously.

"Do you, Esmeralda Anna Cassandra Grey promise to do your duty as Princess of the Void, never to compromise the safety of the Void and it's inhabitants, give everyone a just and fair ruling without bias and is about powers responsibly? "

"Um, yeah? I'll do my best. " Essa decided. She wasn't sure whether her mother has quite registered the fact she was six, almost seven.

Chaos placed the tiara on Esmeralda's head. It stuck firmly. "You can change how it looks by imagining what you want it to look like. It will go away in the shower. " she whispered.

Speaking louder, she announced: "All hail Princess Esmeralda of the Void!"

She guided Esmeralda over to a smaller plain looking throne next to her own and instructed her to sit.

Esmeralda sat down gingerly. An intense warmth radiated through her. The throne was turning silver and growing live flowers. It was stunning. She traced a finger on the petals of a violet that grew on the armrest. "Wow... That is SO cool!"

Chaos crouched down beside the throne and grinned. "Next up, my favorite! Let's go find you a familiar! "

"A what?"

"Basically a magic pet." Eros supplied.

Esmeralda was bouncing on her toes in excitement approximately two seconds after Eros told her what a familiar was. She could not wait to get a familiar. Esmeralda and her mother left the throne room in search for the menagerie that was apparently in the garden.

"When we get there, you are going to get a blindfold, so you can feel the connection between you and your familiar." Chaos explained.

" Okay! " Esmeralda had grape purple coloured hair. She was understandably extremely excited to get a familiar. She was a hyper six year old who had never had a pet thanks to moving houses so much with her dad.

At last they arrived at the menagerie. Chaos secured a blindfold around her eyes and instructed her to go where she felt there might be a connection.

Esmeralda entered the garden and stood at the entrance wondering how she would know if there was a connection. A small jolt in her heart made her jump. A strange feeling formed in her chest and she walked towards the source. She stopped in front of a cage. Chaos removed the blindfold.

"Congratulations Esme! You have a shapeshifter dragon as a familiar! "

"I think Esmeralda should wake up now. Her friends are going to be worried." Nyx remarked. "Esmeralda and her familiar can bond at Camp. Congrats, by the way!"

Chaos snapped her fingers and the world dissolved into nothingness.
