Ever Realm Chronicles - a Sofia the First fanfic
Chapter 11: A New Year in the Ever Realm
January 12, 1872
It was a Friday afternoon at Enchancia Castle. In the sitting room of the castle, the royal family had gathered along with Miss Flora, Miss Fauna, and Miss Merryweather.
"Headmistresses," King Roland addressed Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, "we understand you have some news of interest for us."
"Indeed, King Roland," Miss Flora acknowledged. "We gave Princess Hikari a magical test this week, and we're pleased to report she's above expectations."
"We're really impressed with Princess Hikari's magical ability," Miss Fauna smiled.
"So much so that we'd like to present Princess Hikari with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Miss Merryweather spoke up.
"What opportunity would that be?" Queen Miranda asked, curious.
"To be the first student to be admitted to the Wendarby Institute when it officially opens this next school year," Miss Flora happily answered.
"Oh, my!" Roland exclaimed, impressed.
"I get to go to magical school?" eleven-year-old Hikari asked, equally impressed.
"Oh yes, my dear," Miss Merryweather smiled at Hikari.
"I've heard of Sorting Hat ceremonies at Hexley Hall, as well as Hogwarts," Hikari recalled. "It will be interesting to go through that."
"Actually, Princess, the Wendarby Institute will have a different way of sorting students into its houses," Miss Flora revealed. "A student will be able to pick what house he or she wants to belong to, and then a House Sponsor will decide if the student is worthy to be a member of the house. The four Wendarby houses will be Cosmarune, Felosalk, Magwin, and Scorpella."
"Violet, Dorrie, Candice, and Abby are Cosmarunes," Hikari remembered, before turning to eighteen-year-old Lucinda. "And wasn't Magwin your birth parents' last name?"
"Yes, Hikari," eighteen-year-old Lucinda smiled. "House Magwin is named in honor of them. In fact, I'll be House Sponsor for House Magwin."
"Then I'd like House Magwin, in honor of you, Lucinda," Hikari happily requested.
"Well then, House Magwin will be getting a fine young student," Lucinda agreed with a smile.
"That's settled, then," Miss Flora happily acknowledged. "All that's left is getting Princess Hikari used to using magic."
"And Royal Prep will help Princess Hikari with that," Miss Fauna smiled.
"By the time Princess Hikari starts school at Wendarby, she'll be up to snuff," Miss Merryweather promised.
"What about Hikari's royal training?" Roland wanted to know.
"Fauna, Merryweather, and I were thinking about that," Miss Flora started. "We were thinking that Princess Hikari could attend Wendarby on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and attend Royal Prep on Tuesdays and Thursdays."
"That sounds like a reasonable accommodation," Roland agreed.
"I've never been to Wendarby," Hikari revealed.
"It's a village located within Enchancia," Lucinda explained. "You'll love it. It's full of witches and warlocks and magic. The perfect place for a magical school."
"I look forward to seeing it," Hikari smiled.
Meanwhile, in a house in the Village of Dunwiddie, eighteen-year-old Indigo raced into the front room where her parents were sitting.
"Mom, Dad," Indigo started, excited. "I just received a letter from the Wendarby Institute. They want me to start teaching Potions when the school starts operations in September."
"Oh! How wonderful!" Indigo's mother exclaimed in happiness. "You've just received your teaching certificate, and now you have a job offer."
"Your mother and I are both proud of you," Indigo's father smiled. "We were so pleased when you decided to follow in our footsteps and take up teaching as a profession. So, are you going to accept the position at Wendarby?"
"Yes!" Indigo exclaimed in glee.
"This calls for a celebration," Indigo's father announced. "I know the perfect thing - a celebration meal. I'll take care of it myself."
As Indigo's father walked to the kitchen, Indigo's mother turned toward Indigo. "Your father just loves to cook. I know we're in for a treat."
"I'm looking forward to it," Indigo smiled.
"I'm so proud of you, my precious one," Indigo's mother said with pride as she hugged Indigo. "You're becoming a teacher at a brand new school, and you'll be teaching one of your favorite subjects."
"I'll have to be moving into an apartment on the school grounds," Indigo pointed out. "But I'll come home for visits on weekends."
"Your father and I will look forward to those weekends, and hearing about your teaching adventures," Indigo's mother said in happiness. "Oh, to be young again. I remember my first teaching assignment and how much happiness it brought me. It was a wonderful new adventure each day. And I wish that same happiness for you."
At that same moment, inside Scarlett's palace in Cinnibar, Scarlett and Faith were having a discussion.
"So what's the deal with these Talismans anyway?" Faith asked her mother in Scarlett's laboratory as Scarlett brushed her hair out of her face.
"Legend has it that they were forged from, I'm not sure you're gonna believe me, but ... a demon," Scarlett revealed.
"A demon?" Faith asked. "I wasn't aware those things existed."
"Oh no," Scarlett explained. "Demons are all too real. Faced a few in my time as well. Long ago, before you, before me, before any of us, the Fire Demon known as Shendu was an evil warlord of a vast kingdom in what is now known as China. When his subjects became fed up with his evil ways, a warrior known as Lo Pei cast an ancient spell on Shendu, which turned him into a statue. And Shendu's powers were also separated from him in the form of twelve Talismans, which were then scattered to the winds."
"We already found one Talisman," Faith said, gesturing to the Horse Talisman that was resting on a twelve-slotted pedestal that Scarlett recently conjured specifically for the twelve Talismans. "And if this one's real, that means that the rest are real. And if the rest of them are real then that means that the legend about Shendu is true."
Scarlett then walked over to the portal device that led to The Boiling Isles. Scarlett inserted the key filled with Titans Blood into the device. That was when the portal flared to life and three figures walked out. Two were familiar to Scarlett and Faith and the third was a Dominican-American girl who looked around the room in absolute wonder as Scarlett smirked at Eda.
"Nice hair," Scarlett joked as Eda chuckled.
With her curse removed, Eda's hair was now back to its natural bright orange color and her face was completely free of any wrinkles or signs of age at all.
"That little gift of yours did more wonders for me than we thought. Plus, I still have my harpy form," Eda said, jabbing Scarlett, who smiled.
"Hey, King," Faith said, rubbing the little demon's head.
"Faith," King said as Scarlett turned to the girl who Eda brought with her and the powerful witch turned to the warrior queen.
"My apprentice here wanted to meet you so badly. Especially since you have a working portal now."
"You must be Luz," Scarlett said, leaning down to her level with a kind smile. "Hi. I'm Scarlett."
"Are you a queen?"
"What? Was the crown too obvious?" Scarlett asked, flicking the crown on her head with a chuckle.
"Eda's told me how great friends you two have been."
"Longer than you've been alive."
"So are you a witch?"
"Technically, no. I don't have a bile sac. In fact, most of the witches in this realm don't." Scarlett said, snapping her fingers and igniting a ball of flame in her hand before extinguishing it. "The politically correct term for what I am is sorceress."
"You don't even have glyphs or anything," Luz said, impressed.
"Magic takes many forms, little one," Scarlett smiled, crossing her arms.
"And she's a Level Vermillion spellcaster like myself," Eda said with a nod.
"Wow. You know how to pick your friends," Luz said as the queen nodded.
"There is only one self-taught Level Vermillion spellcaster in the known universe," Scarlett explained. "And you're looking at her."
Meanwhile, a few hours later in the Kingdom of Avalor, Queen Elena was walking through the royal palace when she stopped at her sister's door. Elena knocked at the door and received no answer. Elena then opened the door and walked in.
"Isa?" Elena called out. "Isa? Are you here?"
Suddenly, eighteen-year-old Isabel appeared out of thin air, taking Elena off guard.
"Isa!" Elena exclaimed in shock.
"Elena!" Isabel shouted, taken off guard.
"Since when can you do magic?" Elena wanted to know.
"Well ... it's not magic," Isabel revealed as Elena saw Isabel's silver Omni in Isabel's hand.
"My God!" Elena said in shock. "You're ... a Voyager?"
"Surprise," Isabel said with a sheepish grin, not knowing what else to do. "Hey! Wait a minute. How do you know about Voyagers?"
"Queen Scarlett introduced me to the subject," Elena explained. "That's a silver Omni. Not everybody has a silver Omni."
"True," Isabel admitted. "Only Voyagers In Residence, specialty Voyagers, and executive Voyagers have silver Omnis."
"How did you earn yours?" Elena wanted to know.
"I have mine for two reasons," Isabel explained. "I'm currently a Voyager in Residence assigned to Avalor. I'm also being trained to be the next specialty Voyager in charge of maintaining royal history."
"Oh, my, Isa," Elena said in awe as she hugged Isabel. "Maintaining royal history sounds like a very important job."
"It is," Isabel admitted. "There's a lot of responsibility connected to the position. Juliet Baring is personally training me for the position."
"Juliet Baring?" Elena asked, taken off guard. "The same Juliet Baring who trained me when I first became Crown Princess? She's a Voyager?"
"Yes to both questions," Isabel smiled. "She's the current specialty Voyager in charge of maintaining royal history. She's training me for the position because she'll eventually become Voyager Commissioner."
"This is all a bit too much to take in," Elena admitted as she stepped back. "You're a Voyager. Juliet Baring is a Voyager."
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions, Elena," Isabel gently said as she took Elena's hand. "Let's sit down, and I'll do my best to answer your questions."
"Of course," Elena agreed.
"First of all, you have to agree not to tell anybody I'm a Voyager," Isabel requested.
"You have my word," Elena promised. "Sisters honor."
January 18, 1872
It was a Thursday afternoon at Scarlett's palace in Cinnibar.
"What are you doing?" Colette asked as she walked into Scarlett's laboratory and noticed a small stone with the symbol of a rat on it on Scarlett's table.
"Trying to see if I can harness the Rat Talisman's power to expand its effects," Scarlett informed Colette. "Crimson Force found this deep in the archives of Tangu."
"What does it do?" Colette inquired.
"The power of the Noble Rat brings motion to the motionless," Scarlett explained. "It can bring stuff like Skylar's stuffed animals or the statues in the garden to life. I think if I can harness its power, we might be able to reanimate anyone who Belos ever petrified."
"Sounds promising," Colette smiled. "You say Crimson Force found it in Tangu?"
"Not at first," Scarlett revealed. "We have Dorrie and Candice to thank for putting us on the scent. As you know, they are attending Hexley Hall to obtain their teaching certificates. They were going through the great library at Hexley when they discovered a reference to Tangu and the Rat Talisman. They alerted Crimson Force who tracked it down."
"Their fine women," Colette said of Dorrie and Candice. "I'm glad that Headmistress Lovegood suggested they might want to teach part-time."
"They do the Cosmarunes proud," Scarlett smiled. "Dorrie and Candice have a wealth of knowledge to share, and teaching a new generation would be right up their alley."
Meanwhile, in Enchancia, Lucinda was at her birth parents' home in the Village of Wendarby. As she sat in the study of the home, she heard a knock on the front door. Lucinda went to the front door, opened it, and discovered Indigo standing there.
"Indigo," Lucinda smiled. "I see you got my message. Please, come in."
"I had forgotten how nice this home was," Indigo smiled back as she walked inside.
"I hope I didn't have you travel far?" Lucinda asked, concerned.
"Not to worry," Indigo said in a reassuring voice. "I was just on the other side of the village at the Wendarby Institute."
"Yes, I've heard you've been hired as a teacher there," Lucinda started. "That's why I wanted to see you."
"What can I do for you, Lucinda?" Indigo inquired, curious.
"I'm House Sponsor for House Magwin," Lucinda informed Indigo. "I need a Deputy Sponsor for House Magwin ... and I was hoping you'd accept the position."
"Oh, Lucinda!" Indigo exclaimed in awe. "Of all the people you could have chosen, and you chose me."
"We're best friends," Lucinda smiled. "To me, you were the only choice."
"What would I have to do as Deputy Sponsor?" Indigo wanted to know.
"While I'm House Sponsor for House Magwin, my royal duties will require my attention as well," Lucinda explained. "Therefore, I won't be around the Wendarby Institute on a full-time basis. I need somebody on the Wendarby Institute staff to take care of House Magwin business when I'm not around. Think you're up to the task?"
"Yes," Indigo responded. "I won't let you down, Lucinda."
"Then welcome aboard," Lucinda happily said as the two hugged. "I've just made some tea. I'd love it if you'd join me."
"I'd be delighted," Indigo joyfully accepted.
Lucinda prepared a cup of tea, then handed it to Indigo who started drinking it.
"This is delicious," Indigo responded, pleased.
"It's chai from Jalpur," Lucinda revealed as she prepared a cup of tea for herself. "It contains milk, sugar, and various spices. I've grown quite fond of it."
"I can see why," Indigo smiled. "Meanwhile, what do you know about the other Wendarby Institute houses?"
"Lady Colette will be House Sponsor for House Cosmarune, Lady Genevieve will be House Sponsor for House Felosalk, and Princess Gloriana will be House Sponsor for House Scorpella," Lucinda answered. "Each of them has other duties besides being House Sponsors, so they too will have Deputy Sponsors."
"Sounds good," Indigo approved. "It will be interesting to see who they pick as Deputy Sponsors."
"So, how are you settling in at the Wendarby Institute?" Lucinda wanted to know.
"Quite well," Indigo happily answered. "It's an amazing complex. And my apartment there is quite nice."
"I'm glad to hear that," Lucinda responded, pleased.
Lucinda and Indigo sat back in their chairs and had a pleasant conversation as they enjoyed their tea. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon.
January 21, 1872
It was a Sunday morning at Enchancia Castle. In the Secret Library, eighteen-year-old Dorrie and eighteen-year-old Candice were inside the First Story Keeper's Tardis doing some routine maintenance. As they worked, Dorrie and Candice heard somebody walking around in the library.
"We've better check that out," Dorrie advised.
"Agreed," Candice acknowledged. "Wands out, to be safe."
Dorrie and Candice walked into the library to discover Queen Miranda walking on an upper level.
"Queen Miranda?" Dorrie called out.
"Dorrie, Candice," Miranda smiled. "It was a quiet day in the castle, so I thought I'd walk around the library. I used my magical staff to get here. I didn't know anybody was here."
"You're always welcome here," Dorrie happily responded as Miranda used her staff to magically travel down to where Dorrie and Candice were.
"It's a Sunday morning," Miranda remarked. "I thought the two of you would have been spending the day off."
"It's a quiet morning, and Dorrie and I had something to take care of here," Candice revealed.
"Actually, ma'am, Candice and I were doing some routine maintenance on the First Story Keeper's Tardis," Dorrie further explained.
"That's right," Candice remembered, turning to Miranda. "You know about the First Story Keeper's Tardis."
"I don't suppose I could get a look inside, could I?" Miranda requested, hopeful.
"I don't see why not," Dorrie answered.
"Please follow me, Queen Miranda," Candice beckoned as Dorrie and Miranda followed.
In a few moments, the three walked through a secret entrance that led into the room where the First Story Keeper's Tardis was housed. Miranda looked at the Tardis and saw it to be a tan metal box with a door on it. Candice opened the door to the Tardis, and the three stepped inside.
The Tardis was, of course, bigger on the inside than the outside, thanks to Time Lord Transdimensional Engineering. Miranda looked around the control room of the Tardis in awe. It was much like the control room of the Peter Capaldi Doctor, with the same kind of Tardis console, and two side panels. However, the walls of the First Story Keeper's Tardis control room were slate blue, with circles on the walls reminiscent of Tardis control rooms seen in classic "Doctor Who". Also, the circles on the walls each emitted a soft white light, gently lighting up the control room.
"This is absolutely ... amazing," Miranda remarked, impressed. "I had heard stories about The Doctor's Tardis, so I was somewhat prepared for a Tardis to be bigger on the inside than the outside. But actually seeing the inside of a Tardis brings it all alive, more so than I could have ever imagined."
Dorrie and Candice smiled at Miranda's comment. Meanwhile, in the Village of Dunwiddie at the Satu Embassy, Prince Liang and Helen Hanshaw were sitting alone in the embassy's sitting room enjoying some tea.
"Your friendship has been a comfort, Helen," Liang gently commented. "Although, we both know it's becoming more than a friendship."
"Yes, Liang," Helen agreed. "I find myself growing closer to you every day."
"And I find myself growing closer to you every day," Liang said as he gently took Helen's hand in his.
"We have to, however, take this one day at a time," Helen advised. "We have to allow an appropriate amount of time to pass before we can publicly show any affection for each other. We have to allow an appropriate amount of time to pass after Emma's death."
"You are right, of course, Helen," Liang acknowledged.
Meanwhile, outside of the embassy sitting room, both nineteen-year-old Jade and eighteen-year-old Ruby who were home for the weekend from their schools were kind of spying on Liang and Helen's conversation.
"EEE!" they both squealed silently as Jade grasped Ruby's hands.
"Do you know what this could mean?!" Jade asked.
"I'm going to be a princess?" Ruby asked, excited.
"More than that! We're going to be sisters!" Jade said as she and Ruby both squealed and hugged.
That afternoon in Dunwiddie, at Greythorn's, eighteen-year-old Sofia, eighteen-year-old Lucinda, and eleven-year-old Hikari walked into the magical shop.
"Ah!" Mrs. Greythorn smiled from behind a counter at Sofia and Lucinda. "What may I do for Enchancia's royal sorceresses?"
"We're here for our sister, Hikari," Sofia explained.
"It's time for her to get her first wand," Lucinda further explained.
"Yes, of course," Mrs. Greythorn smiled, before turning to Hikari. "We have a fine selection of wands here, young Princess. I'm sure we'll find you something very suitable. Let's get started, shall we? Lynn, I'm going to need your help on this."
"Coming, Mom," a thirteen-year-old girl cheerfully responded as she walked up.
"This is my daughter, Lynn," Mrs. Greythorn introduced Lynn to Hikari. "She'll be helping us today."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lynn," Hikari smiled.
"And it's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Hikari," Lynn smiled back.
"Let's start with lot 0047893," Mrs. Greythorn instructed Lynn.
"Which sub number, Mom?" Lynn wanted to know.
"Bring out number four, please," Mrs. Greythorn requested.
Lynn brought out a boxed wand and handed it to Mrs. Greythorn who brought out the wand and handed it to Hikari.
"Give it a wave, Princess," Mrs. Greythorn kindly instructed.
Hikari waved the wand, causing some books to fly off of a shelf.
"I'm afraid that's not the one for you, Princess," Mrs. Greythorn apologized before turning back to Lynn. "Let's try lot number 0049949, number seven."
Lynn brought over the requested boxed wand and handed it to her mother who brought out the wand and handed it to Hikari.
"Try this one, Princess," Mrs. Greythorn requested.
Hikari waved the wand which caused a glass bowl to shatter.
"Oh, my!" Hikari exclaimed in fear. "I'm sorry."
"Not to worry, young Princess," Mrs. Greythorn said reassuringly. "It's all part of selecting one's first wand. Lynn, let's try lot number 0052018, number one."
Lynn brought over the requested boxed wand and handed it to her mother. Mrs. Greythorn then brought out the wand and handed it to Hikari.
"Let's try this one shall we, young Princess?" Mrs. Greythorn suggested.
As Hikari held the wand, a glow suddenly surrounded Hikari before fading away.
"A perfect fit," Mrs. Greythorn smiled. "You've found your wand, Princess Hikari."
"Yes!" Sofia and Lucinda exclaimed in glee.
"Curious," Mrs. Greythorn thought out loud.
"What's curious, ma'am?" Hikari wanted to know.
"Your wand there has a dragon heartstring core," Mrs. Greythorn noted. "Princess Sofia's wand and Princess Lucinda's wand each has a dragon heartstring core. Funny how the same kind of core attaches itself to a family. It's as if you were always meant to be a member of the Enchancian royal family."
Hikari smiled at Mrs. Greythorn's comment as Sofia and Lucinda gently hugged Hikari.
That night, inside the royal palace in the Kingdom of Isleworth, a mysterious figure snuck around the palace while everybody was sleeping. The figure was a woman wearing an invisibility cloak. In a little while, the woman approached the doors of the royal vault which were heavily locked.
"There hasn't been a lock invented that I couldn't pick," the woman thought to herself as she carefully went through the locks on the door, opening each lock with ease.
In a little while, all the locks had been opened, and the woman stepped into the vault. The woman then removed the hood of the invisibility cloak, revealing the woman to be ... Eda, The Owl Lady.
"Piece of cake," Eda thought to herself in victory. "Now to find that Sheep Talisman and hightail it outta here."
After looking around the royal vault for a little while, Eda came across the Sheep Talisman sitting on a dark purple velvet pillow.
"There you are, you little devil," Eda thought to herself as she picked up the Sheep Talisman and held it in her hand.
"Hold it right there!" a man's voice barked from behind Eda who turned around to see two male guards standing there.
"Ah!" Eda smiled. "The two of you have passed the test. I'm Inspector Fourteen from the Royal Vault Protection Service. I was sent here to test your vault's security."
"There's no Royal Vault Protection Service!" the other male guard scoffed.
"Oh, not buying that, are we?" Eda frowned. "I guess you two aren't as dumb as you look."
"Come with us!" the first male guard ordered. "Our king will want to talk to you."
"Well, about that ... I think I'll pass," Eda smiled as she put the hood of her invisibility cloak up over her head, becoming completely invisible again.
Eda was about to head to the door leading out of the vault, but noticed that the two guards were blocking the door.
"There's no escape!" the second male guard shouted. "You might as well just make yourself visible and surrender!"
"Fat chance that's gonna happen, buster," Eda thought to herself. "Now to find a way to get out of this vault."
Suddenly, Eda felt a strange sensation going through her entire body. As Eda looked around, the royal vault disappeared from view. At that same moment, Eda found herself in a strange room where Dorrie, Candice, Luz, and King were standing. The room was unlike anything she had ever seen before.
"Dorrie, Candice," Eda said as she removed the invisibility cloak. "Where am I? Is this some kind of temple?"
"Better!" Luz exclaimed with a smile. "We're aboard Dorrie and Candice's Tardis. I only thought that these things existed in that TV show back where I came from. I had no idea they were real."
"Scarlett sent us," Candice explained. "She wanted to make sure all bases were covered."
"Well, you sure saved my bacon," Eda acknowledged, grateful. "How did I get here anyway?"
"We used the Tardis transporter to bring you here to the Tardis control room," Dorrie explained. "It looked like you were in a rough spot, so we decided to act."
"And a good thing you did, too," Eda said, relieved. "Those two guards were blocking the door."
"I take it you got the talisman?" Candice asked, curious.
"Right here," Eda smiled as she produced the Sheep Talisman. "It gives whoever possesses it the ability of astral projection - to have their spirit leave their body and travel to wherever the spirit wants. Scarlett's sources found out that Isleworth Intelligence was using the talisman to spy on nearby kingdoms."
"I can see where that would have given Isleworth Intelligence an unfair advantage," Dorrie noted.
"Good thing its in our hands now," Candice said, relieved. "So, Eda? Where did you get the invisibility cloak?"
"Scarlett loaned it to me," Eda answered with a smile.
"Scarlett is always filled with surprises," Candice smiled back. "I think it was time we were leaving."
"Good idea," Eda agreed. "Isleworth is not going to be too happy I pinched their talisman. But, they weren't likely to give it up of their own free will, either."
"Did they get a look at you, Eda?" King wanted to know.
"Just my head," Eda answered. "But I'm a stranger here, so they would have no idea who I am."
"Let's get back to Cinnibar," Dorrie suggested as she walked over to the Tardis console and set the coordinates for Scarlett's palace.
"But they're gonna put up wanted posters for Eda," Luz suggested, worried.
"I wouldn't count on that," Candice said in a reassuring voice. "They just had a valuable artifact stolen right out of their royal vault. They're not going to want to admit that to the public. They also used that artifact to spy on their neighbors. They're not going to want to admit that, either. They'll probably just keep quiet and cry in their beer."
"Nicely said, Candice," Dorrie praised.
"Thank you, Dorrie," Candice acknowledged, pleased.
The Tardis, parked a few miles away from the Isleworth royal palace, slowly disappeared into thin air on its way back to Scarlett's palace in Cinnibar. Another talisman had been collected. Everything was right with the world.

Readers of "Ever Realm Chronicles" will remember that in Chapter 6 Indigo's parents were revealed to be professors at Hexley Hall.
Scarlett's daughter, Skylar, is an original character created by Jake H Voronkov for my stories (the fact that Scarlett's daughter, and Elena of Avalor's Jaguin, share the same name is simply an interesting quirk of fate).

The Kingdom of Cinnibar is a kingdom created by Jake H Voronkov and is used in my stories with permission from Jake H Voronkov.
The Kingdom of Isleworth is from the "Sofia the First" episode "Beauty is the Beast".
