"Are you ready?" Magnus asked as they walked inside the huge field. He picked up Astrid in her room early and now they where walking at the bermuda grass all over the ground and the place is covered with mirrors so you can still see the sky.
She was about to answer but she heard Xera shouting and saying that they were there. Astrid looked at them and waved at everyone. The whole family was there. Smiling at her from a distance.
"What is happening?" Astrid asked in astonishment when they arrived at the place where everyone was.
The queen smiled and held Astrid's hand to let her know she had nothing to worry about. "We want you to know us very well. And we will start now. Ready yourself okay? " She explained carefully. She was so calm that Astrid could not panic at what she is about to find out from them.
She looked at Magnus, he is bothered. It worries him because Astrid might be too scared. He doesn't want to continue this first but they need to let her know.
"Princess Astrid, I know that you are aware that we are not humans. You deserve to know everything but this time you need to see this first. " Astrid backed away when the king suddenly changed in form. His body grew and his head looked like a wild bull. He run around the field and Astrid can no longer follow where he is going because of its excessive speed. Instead of being scared, Astrid was amazed at what she is seeing.
The king stopped in front of her and returned to his original form. He is already wearing the big cloak because his upper garment was damaged and his lower garment was torn.
"Im sorry to scare you but that is my ability princess. I can transform into a beast, I have the speed and strength that a normal person cant do. " King Theseus explained to Astrid and she is so amazed. Her eyes were shining as she looks at the king.
"I'm not scared King Theseus. I got shocked at first but I am amazed actually. " She said happily to the king. Evangeline applause for Astrid's reaction. They did not expect it to be so easy for Astrid to accept them easily thats why they all breathed well and were very happy especially Magnus.
"Do you want to see mine Princess Astrid?" The queen asked with a big smile. Astrid turned to her and nodded. The queen's eyes suddenly turned green because of Astrid's approval.
"I am an enchantress." Astrid's mouth fell open because of what the queen said. She was stunned by the rising green light on Queen Tatiana's left hand. She whispered something in a language she could not understand before it landed to Zion.
"Zion. You dance. " Zion undoubtedly danced because of the powerful command of the queen. The siblings laughed and so did the king and queen. Magnus just smiled at Zion.
The queen did something with her hand so that makes Zion stopped dancing.
"Mom!" Zion complained annoyingly to her mother but she just laughed at it. Astrid couldn't help but laugh.
"I can cast a spell, open a portal, teleport, control the climate, heal, and many more." The Queen's explained. Astrid nodded because she remembered what she had read about enchantresses before. They do a lot of magics and they are really wonderful. Especially now that Astrid sees it all in person.
"I wish I could be like her." She silently wish.
"I'm sorry to say but you cant be like her Princess Astrid." Smiling, Evangeline said. Astrid looked at her in surprise and wondered why she knew what she was thinking.
"She can read my mind?" Astrid asked to herself. Confused.
Evangeline laughs at her. "Yes I can." She answered Astrid's question. "I can also see the future." She continues.
Astrid wanted to know what her future would be so she was a little jealous because the princess was able to see the future.
"That's interesting. But im afraid I cant hide my secrets on you. "She laughed jokingly and the others laughed.
"Do you want to see my other ability Princess Astrid?" Xera asked excitedly, she was too excited to show Astrid her ability.
"Xeraphine. I told you that you are not doing anything that will make Princess Astrid to freak out. " Magnus forbade him. Xera just pouted at him but her mood returned when the queen said to just let it go.
"Spoiled brat." He whispered.
Astrid was surprised because the movement of her companions suddenly slowed down except for the two of them.
"I can slow time." She cutely said while untying her sisters braid then go to her brother Zion to untie his shoes lace.
"Xeraphine!" Evangeline shouted in annoyance because her long hair was loose because Xera untied it.
Time has returned to normal so Evangeline's complaint is all over their ears now. Zion did the same because Xera removed the lace of his shoes. The child just laughed and ran closer to her mother and hugged her. Looking for an ally.
"How about you two? Should I ready myself? It seems that you can move mountains. " She talked to the twins. Zion just laughed as Dion stared at her.
"Not really." Dion answered Astrid seriously. Zion just smiles at her as if fooling her.
"I'm just a researcher. I don't have magic but I have the brains. " Zion said while pointing his temple. He kicked his twin to signal that it was his turn to speak.
"I make armors and weapons." He said reluctantly. Astrid just nodded in agreement.
"Well. Prince Magnus has the powerful ability in the whole kingdom. " Zion said and it seems normal to say. Astrid then wondered what Magnus could do.
He was now looking at Magnus and waiting for him to speak. She is very curious. Magnus has no reaction while staring at Astrid. He is just watching Astrid's every reaction.
"I got the strength and speed that my father has while I inherited my mother's ability to teleport and healing. Tho I can heal through my blood. " Astrid cant help to be amazed by what Magnus said. She thought it was all but she was surprised when the prince suddenly wounded his own palm to bleed.
"I can do whatever by using my blood." He explained while making a dagger with his blood then thrown it close to Dion but lost its shape when it was about to hit him. Zion laugh because of that while Dion is staring sharply to Magnus.
Astrid felt nervous because the dagger was about to be stabbed in the face of Dion. Magnus do not bother about his brother's death glares. Dion could not be seen in fear but he was obviously surprised by the speed of what happened.
Astrid also caught a quick glimpse of the healing wound of Magnus palm.
"What if you run out of blood?" Astrid asked.
"I can convert blood to make it mine." He seriously answered. Astrid is wondering if how will it happen. She didn't bother to reply because she doesn't know what to say or react.
"Princess Astrid, you will know a lot in the next days. We don't want you to be surprised or think deeply if we will tell you all. That's all for today. " A powerful explanation of the king. Astrid was confused because she felt it was too hard to believe all that even though she accepted them wholeheartedly.
Astrid is even more confused and surprised because she do not know what is the reason for all the things they're showing up to her. Why she needs to know all of them and what her purpose in this world. She took a deep breath because she could do nothing more. This is her life now and she just has to accept it all.
Astrid just nodded to Evangeline when she said that they were going back to the palace but she just kept thinking until they got inside and only Magnus was with her. She is wondering if where the others go.
"I hope you're okay my princess." He said then kissed her on the forehead.
