I didn't sleep at all last night. I thought I could at least fall asleep after drawing a cute frog, but I guess not. I guess I will sleep tonight. But for now I have to get to the portal.
"THEAAAA." I heard my mother yell
"COMING." I responded
I walk downstairs and my mother immediately starts to push me out the door talking about how we are going to be late.
When we were getting near the portal I noticed the long line waiting to get through
Geez so many people are trying to get in. It's going to take forever for us to get through.
Guess we just have to wait I thought
I turned and looked at my mom and said
"The trial starts in four hours when we get through the portal you should go get a seat I have something I need to do"
Charis pov
I looked across the limo and stared at Athena. I never liked her and she had never liked me. we've always been forced to do things together. Whether it was volunteering or playing games while our parents talked and had fun. I saw Athena glare back at me and I smiled back at her. I knew it would piss her off. I looked outside and I saw that we arrived at the trial. I started to get up when I heard.
Athena shout "Wait, you can't leave until one
of the drivers opens the door!"
I sighed and sat back down when the driver opened the door
"You first lady Charis, I know how much you love attention." Athena said with a smile.
I saw her fixing her dress as I left. Her dress was a beautiful baby blue dress that was tight around the chest area and had ruffles on the bottom. I wish I could have worn a dress to greet the people but I could only wear my best skirt and top that had the best jewels from Almandine on it, but a skirt is nothing compared to a dress.
I got out and heard people cheering but not for me. For Athena I heard the people quiet down when they saw I wasn't her. I hate princess Athena so much she gets everything and I have nothing.
Athena pov
After Charis left the carriage I sighed a breath of relief. I need to regain my composure before I step out. I need to be perfect.
It's time I thought to myself.
I stood up and moved to the door and walked down the step. I hear people chanting my name and screaming for my attention. I put a smile on my face and started to wave at my fans. One day I would be their Queen. I don't know if they will have the same love for me as they do now. I hope I don't mess things up but for now I just have to be the perfect princess and smile and wave. As I was walking down the entry way I saw the president's daughter Celia and her little servant friend arguing about something. I can't believe that they are arguing in public like this. At such a big event too.
Celia pov
Tsuki and I were walking around Lenora attempting to avoid news crews and paparazzi.
jeez we got here early the trial doesn't even start for like three more hours.
"Do you want to go anywhere while we wait?" Tsuki asked while she was playing with the halo that usually floats above her head.
" We can walk into the clothes shop, I mean we will still have to change clothes for the trial." I said while looking down at my nicer clothing that consisted of a fancy long dress and looking over Tsuki's clothes that consisted of. Pants and a button up shirt and her signature red scarf it kinda made her look more like a butler
" You look like a boy wearing that." I said dryly.
To which she just scoffed at.
We walked into the store and the cashier greeted me and asked if I would need help with picking out clothes. I politely declined.
We walked around and picked out some clothes most of them where where for the rest of the school year I was sure I was going to get in
" Excuse me lady Celia, your servant stole something and we're going to need it to be paid for." the cashier stated.
" She's not my servant, and she doesn't steal. " I responded with a click of my tongue.
yeah that's a lie I thought to myself.
she looked at me then at Tsuki "well, I can show you an instant replay of the moment."
her sui generis is an instant replay of a moment I thought.
"go ahead show it then".
The woman then proceeded to close her eyes and a hologram like scene appeared in front of us. That went through the process of Tsuki stealing a couple of clothing while this is going on. I saw Tsuki from behind the woman's mouth. I think you should handle this one and then a thumbs up I swear to God I will literally kill you.
I then activated my sui generis and started to flirt with the woman.
Tsuki"s pov
That was amusing although maybe next time I should try not to get caught to make it interesting for a longer time I thought while Celia and I proceeded to leave the store with a lot more stuff than we were even going to get to begin with.
That really was amusing
" Tsuki " Celia said in a serious tone
" What's up" I nonchalantly replied
" What the hell is wrong with you" she said in a even more serious tone
" I don't know what you mean" I responded
" You could of easily bought everything in that store " she responded while stopping and looking at at me
Oh she talking about that
" I got bored and there was a nice long coat " I said in a happy tone while I poked my crow on the beak
I suddenly felt a hand grip around my neck which made me smile for some reason although I'm pretty sure It was because I was nervous
" Seriously what is wrong with you." Ceilla said through gritted teeth
" Woooow nine going on ten years of friendship and you can't figure out what is wrong with me." I said with a smile.
" And some especially close five years of me being basically your bodyguard. " I said getting more dramatic with each word.
" I'm hurt," I said while I began to lean back and put my arm over my face.
Celia then let go of my scarf which caused me to fall down. Celia then proceeded to give me her hand to help me up.
" Come on let's go I guess we'll just wait at the building for the trial. "
I got up and pulled the long coat I had stolen out of my pocket and put it on as we proceeded to make our way to the trial.

If I get there early enough I will be able to miss the crowd of people I thought to myself. When I arrived at the portal I saw lady celia and her servant standing arguing about who should go first.
I should wait a minute I thought. I saw cellia push her servant through and then follow her. Ok I'll give them a minute before I go through. After a few minutes had passed I walked through the portal. It felt weird but was strangely calming. After I was through I saw buildings everywhere. Everything was so fancy and high-tech there were flying cars and people dressed in beautiful gowns and suits. I was so mesmerized by it I didn't even notice that I was about to bump into a girl.
"Oh sorry" the girl said.
"It's cool, it was my fault I wasn't really paying attention. to where I was walking"
"Yeah I guess so" The girl deadpanned.
"What" I said.
"What" she responded
"Anyway I should get going I don't want to be late to the trial"
"Dude it starts in like 3 hours what's the rush" she said
"I just want to be early so I can miss the crowds"
" Oh you should have left way earlier than"
She said
"What, why's that"
" Well you see I don't know how you haven't heard but princess Athena of Lenora, Prince Noah of Helora and First daughter Celia are attending the trial. So the paparazzi and fans are already there at the entrance.
"How do you know all of this" I asked her
"It's common sense. Also my sui generis is
Future sight. So that helps."
" Did you know we would meet then" I asked her
She smiled at me.
That's a yes I thought
I smiled back at her
"What's your sui generis" she asked me
" Telepathy. But I assume you already knew that" I replied
What's your name I asked
" Thea" she said
Well Thea want to head over to the trial
She paused for a moment and closed her eyes
" Yes and if we leave now we will be able to see the royals"
"Great" I said
And we started to make our way to the trials entrance. When we got there we realized that it was so crowded that we couldn't see anyone.
" Do you think you could find us a place to see them"
She closed her eyes again
" Follow me" she said
So I did. She made her way through the crowd and found an area that was blocked off from the public. She crossed over to it and told me that we could watch them safely. The first person to walk down the entrance was Lady Celia and her servant. They were making a big scene arguing. After that Princess Athena's flying limo arrived. And someone called duchess Charis exited it. Everyone was cheering at first but when they saw her they got quiet. After a few moments had passed Princess Athena got out smiling and waving at everyone cheering at her. I didn't like her. She seemed superficial and arrogant. After princess Athena had passed and entered the building Prince Noah pulled up in his carriage and two girls walked up to him and one handed him a flower crown and they all walked together into the trial.
"Well that's all of them" she said
" I guess we can go in now" I replied
I then turned to Thea and said
"Good luck"
She smiled back at me
"Good luck" she responded

Evelyn and I where walking around Lenora we had been lucky enough to get here as early as we wanted and to had avoid the crowds till we saw a particularly large crowd
"Hey eve what do you think is going on over there"
"I don't know maybe we should check it out" evelyn responded
As we walked up people where moving at the perfect time for us to easily get though
Good thing eve is here I think I would be lost without her sui generis
We then proceed to make our way to where everyone was surrounding, it seemed to be the entrance to the trial when we got to the top of the crowd we saw the prince from Helore come out of a horse drawn carriage and we walked up to him
"Is this where the trial is?" I ask
" Umm yeah,but how did you get here?" He questioned
" I don't know, I guess we are just really lucky," I said as I continued to walk into the trial.
Noah pov
I was in the carriage waiting for the door to open. I watched as Celia and her servant walked through the crowd to get to the entrance and how they would argue a bit while they walked down.
It still puzzles me why she would bring her servent everywhere but they seem to act more like friends to each other than a servant and a royal
Next I watched as Lady Charis left the hovering limo and waved to everyone soon after I watched as PrincessAthena left out of the same limo I watched as people cheered for her and shouted praises
I wonder how they survived there because I remember them getting terribly along.
I knew it would be my turn to leave next so I became to straighten and dust off my black overcoat with gold patterns and lining along with my black pants
The door to my careage opened. I said a quick goodbye to my parents and made my way out.
When I walked out I began to think about the strategies I could do for the trial while I waved to people but my train of thought was broken when two girls started to talk to me.
I have no idea who these people are but they seem nice and are entertaining me.
They handed me a flower crown that I put on my head and as I did I heard the crowd cheer loudly I then proceeded to walk into the trial with the two girls.
Adalyn
When I went through the portal I saw a few people watching me exit. Why are they looking at me, I thought, did I do something wrong? No no I couldn't have all I did was walk through the portal.
" Hey" I heard one of the people yell.
I turned and saw it was a tall man with a Red beard and no hair.
" Uh yes" I spoke quietly
"You here for the trial" he said loudly
" Oh uh yes actually" I replied
The man laughed
"You better hurry up then, They are going to close the entrance in 10 minutes"
Just as he said that I heard someone cursing behind me
The person cursing was an Average height pale skinny girl with long dirty blonde hair.
She looked at me and said
"Can you believe this we are going to be late"
"Oh your going to the trial to"
"Yeah and if we don't get moving we are going to be late"
"Oh sorry yeah let's go"
I turned back to thank the man but he was gone. That's a little strange I thought.
"What's your name" I asked her
"Emma, and you"
"I'm adalyn"
"Well adalyn we better get a move on before we aren't allowed into the trial"
" Do you know where you're going" I asked her
"No clue" she said with a smile on her face
