Chapter 3 - 1. Talking Reflection

Auriana was woken up suddenly by the sounds of her new alarm clock that Elena had placed there for her so she would be early for the meeting with the council that morning. She cursed under her breath and snapped her fingers casting a spell the alarm clock burnt into ashes and the wind blew the ashes away. She snuggled into her covers the more and slept deeply.

'Auriana!' Elena yelled entering the room in blue frilly gown and flowers holding her hair in a twisted chignon. She waved her hand and the bed came to live and threw Auriana out of bed, Elena frowned she was such a perfectionist, the bed went still and normal as before. 'Gosh you are still in bed,' she pulled Auriana up 'Even Ashley's up.'

'Well I'm not an early riser you should know that by now.' she wrenched her self from her sister.

'I got you a dress it's in your closet, wear it!' Elena said aggressively.

'Sure.' Auriana said airily getting her bathing robe. 'So you can get out!'

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Auriana did not like the dress her sister left for her it was so old fashioned.

'There is no way I'm wearing that' Auriana said out loud.

'I agree with you, sister.' a voice agreed from nowhere.

'Who said that?' Auriana asked nothing in particular. She scanned the room and then saw a reflection of herself on the huge dressing mirror waving at her.

'Over here.' the reflection called out to her. Auriana screamed and threw a hairbrush at the mirror. She looked up and saw the mirror wasn't cracked.

'Before you freak out and throw that slipper in your hand at me, calm down' Auriana blew her cheeks 'I'm a magical being.' the reflection said slowly. 'A Reflix.'

'Who are you? What are you and what are you doing in my mirror.'

'I just said I'm a Reflix, weren't you hearing me'

'Hey.' Auriana snapped 'NO one gets sausy with me, and gets away easily with it but you are kinda hard to punch.'

'OK my apologies.' the Reflix said 'My name is Reflectna, I am a Reflix a magical being, appointed to all Nymphs that is a powerful person in a kingdom who is not the ruler.'

'I know what a Nymph is!' she yelled at her.

'OK I tell you the truth.' Reflectna said

'That's it,' she scoffed 'I expected a lot more from the ever realm. So how long do I have you telling me the truth?'

'Forever and I don't only tell the truth.' she replied 'they are upgrades for what I can do i can also show you anything you want and where it is. One very powerful feature is being able to pull you in any reflecting surface you can transport from one reflecting surface to another not only mirrors.'

'Oooooh that's cool tell me more.' Auriana said brushing her hair.

'You can also spy on people except Charmings, Reflix magic doesn't work on them so those are the only people that can lie to you.'

'How do I know if someone is lying to me?' Auriana asked.

'You'll know cos I can communicate through your mind!'

'That's rude! but I'm cool with it.'

'You also mustn't tell anyone about having a Reflix it could be dangerous both to you and me.' Reflectna said sternly 'Reflix magic is very powerful and many people want it a lot of powerful Nymphs have lost their Reflixes due to exposing this secret.'

'I promise not to tell anyone.'Auriana promised.

'But you can totes tell your dad,'

'Is it because he loves me?'

'Of course not, it's because he has a Reflix too.'

'So since you can show me anything I want, I want you to show me a dress that will wow the council and make Elena and Ashley gape preferably green and with a touch of gold.' Auriana asked and the image on the mirror showed the loveliest gown she had ever seen short, stylish and formal. 'I love it!' she squealed. 'I just need a spell.'

Auriana came to her bookshelf which was magical and had a lot of spell books in it.

'Keeper of Books,sharp and quick,' she chanted her icy green eyes glowing a bright emerald. 'Teleportation spells come to me.' she held out her hands and and a large book shot at her, she narrowly dodged and her eyes stopped glowing and instead sparked with anger.

'I said "come to" not "come at", stupid shelf!' she cried then picked up the book and skimmed through the pages till she found her spell.

'Ah there,' she heaved waving her index finger in the a large trail of purple sparkly magic dust followed her as she said,'From far and near, twice the sprees, bring that dress here, alike as two pees.'

A exact copy of the dress appeared in the room and Auriana smirked taking the dress with her behind her screen. After a few minutes she came out her hair done up like Elena's only hers had gold petals instead of blue crystals. She was loving her heels and the charm bracelet looked so good.

'Wow Reflectna you've proven to be useful, I need to take a selfie,' she took a pic of herself 'Post it on Royalgram.' She posted the picture on an Instagram page made specifically for Royals. 'Then kiss you goodbye.' She blew a kiss at her reflection and turned to leave when a bracelet appeared from nowhere dropping on her dressing mirror.

'What's that?' she asked.

'A bracelet.' Reflectna replied dumbly.

'I know that.' Auriana said exasperatedly. 'but it showed up from nowhere isn't that strange.'

'Sorry, that's your Reflix bracelet.' Reflectna answered. 'It's the control panel of the Reflix the main magic.'

'This Reflix thing is sounding weird, why don't I call it R-bracelet for short.' Auriana suggested.

'Sure.'

'Auriana!' Elena's piercing screams rang through the castle. 'The council are almost here, get down now.'

'Why don't they teleport?'Auriana muttered aloud putting the Reflix bracelet in her drawer and rushing out of her room.

The first thing Elena did when Auriana came down the stairs was to check her nails.

'You could have made your nails look as good as your dress.' she remarked disapprovingly at her faded blue nails. Auriana rolled her eyes as Elena casted a spell to make her nails a sparkly gold colour which Auriana admired for a little while.

'Go stand by dad.' Elena said pushing her to her father.

'Oh my gosh, Dad.' Auriana exclaimed at the huge crown on her father's head. 'What did Elena do to you.' Derrick chuckled as Auriana tapped the crown, it turned into a tiara.

'Auri!' Elena growled.

'Sorry.' Auriana snorted and then tapped the crown twice and it disappeared. Derrick heaved with relief and Elena scowled. Auriana was saved from her sister's wrath as the council arrived just then.

The council consisted of a thin old woman, A very much younger woman who had brown and pink hair, a stout and short man, a tall and athletic built man and a teenage girl with black and purple hair who dressed to casual for the occasion.

'Good day your majesties,' The thin woman greeted. 'I am Morgana_Nice to see you Devan.' she added with a sly smile.

'Aunt,' Derrick asked Devan. 'Do you know her?'

'Of course she knows me.' Morgana answered. 'We both wanted to join the Ever realm council but I got in and she didn't so she's angry and kinda jealous.'

'I am not!' Devan argued angrily. 'I didn't really want it and I also had other responsibilities; defending my kingdom, passing the Peace to Elena and keeping Crystal trapped before Lily freed her. I did not...'

'And that is Amoré.' Morgana cut Devan rudely referring to the woman with the pink hair. 'A fairy under my department since I worked so hard to be part of the council,' she passed Devan a sly smile. 'That is Stewart.' she pointed at the stout man who gave a hearty bow. 'That's Russell, he is very strong.' the athletic built man gave a more serious bow looking grim. 'And my darling daughter, Andrea.' She brought forward the distracted teenage girl.

'Sup' she said holding up her fists. Morgana scowled so sourly and Derrick gave her an awkward fist bump.

'Andrea! that is rude.' Morgana snarled and then apologised. 'My apologies, your highness.'

'No worries, Morgana.' Derrick said heartily easing Morgana from her embarrassment. 'Why don't we go and have our meeting in the royal hall, a feast is waiting. You know you council members don't usually visit castles so we made a huge spread for you.'

'It is an honour to have you at our castle.' Queen Elsa added.

'The honour is ours.' Amoré replied and the added grimly. 'But I'm afraid the matter we bring to you is a very serious one.'

The whole room fell silent as the council's faces turned grave. Auriana looked into her father's eyes knowing it was about her and he passed her a comforting glance.
