Mia: The opening ceremony is at nine o'clock in the morning.
Mia: But it'll actually happen at 9:30 am.
Mia: Thirty minutes for everyone to gather.
Mia: Be there by 10 am, at maximum.
Mia: Use the team uniform that was made for you, alright?
As if I could forget.
Me: Okay, thank you, Mia.
Me: I'll pamper myself up.
Mia: Good. Use boots that make you taller.
Mia: I have no idea how, but you're short.
"Hah, to think I would be mocked by a freaking deity. How great is my life? Having my height mocked by a Goddess. Blessing or curse?"

I began to get ready by 9 am, because why would I get on time, if I can go later and have a grand entrance. Besides, I'll get there in the middle of the thing, and none of them, not even Oliver, will be able to get on my toes right away. I'll just straight-up stick together with Hanna and Abellona and avoid the others for now.
They are all so pissed off, that I'm actually slightly frightened.
Especially when I can feel how angry Oliver is, if the amount of texts he's still sending me aren't enough to tell that much. Aye, even Felix and father are annoyed. I bet Oliver went all the way to his cabin to tell him what I did, now that he knows Cosmos' against the whole break-the-mating-bond shite I was putting up.
Now that I know the truth, I feel foolish. Lady above, I feel so damn foolish. Stupid even. My pride is destroyed to say the least, and I don't have the courage to face all of them right now, just to hear them saying how bloody wrong I was.
But I'll follow Mia's initial advice.
Kept quite for now, and after we get over the final match, I'll talk, freeze time and resolve everything with Oli, then we go to the ball. Though I'm pretty sure he won't be making it easy for me at all.
Dressing um a tight long-and-down-the-shoulders-sleeved black shirt that marks my breasts and waist, a ornamented under-breast corset made of emerald with obsidian, tight high-waist black leather pants that have a full-leg slit in each side and both laced in dark green silk laces that show some of the skin, a pair of high black boots with dark green details and 15-centimeters heeled platforms that make me stand 1.82m tall. Plus all of my jewels, light green eyeshadow, my matte crimson red lipstick, pale green highlighter, and eyeliner in a Egyptian style. With my long curly silver hair loose and a emerald ornamented tiara over it.
Want to know the miracle? I used the mirror.
Yes. Congratulations for me. I used the freaking mirror.
Quite nauseating, to be honest, but the first step is important, right?
It was 9:35 am when I was done, and when I looked at my phone, there were a waterfall of new texts on it. I ignored most of them, again, as I passed the perfume Oli gave me and walked into the kitchen to fill my three-liters bottle of water with a strawberry cocktail of vodka and whiskey with a bit of lemon. I also quickly ate one of the lemon cupcakes Oli made.
Cosmic father: Where. The. Fuck. Are. You?
Cosmic father: The opening ceremony is beginning.
Cosmic father: Your presence is NEEDED!
Cosmic father: Did you forget who's the spotlight in here?
Cosmic father: I'm almost having an aneurysm in here.
Me: Dramatic much?
Me: Mia said I could take my time.
Me: Don't worry, I'll be there in a sec.
Rolling my eyes, I opened Hanna's text.
Hanna: Hel, Hel, Hel,
Hanna: Aren't you supposed to be here?
Hanna: I see everyone.
Hanna: I don't see you.
Hanna: Everyone's looking restless.
Hanna: Your boyfriend even asked me if I knew where you were.
Me: We had a bad fight.
Me: Ignore them.
Me: I'll be with you in a bit.
Then I opened Abellona's.
Bell: Huh, hello?
Bell: Honey, where are you?
Bell: You didn't tell me cosmic fucker would be here.
Bell: Your hot boyfriend is looking for you.
Bell: Boy looks angry *laughing emoji*
Bell: What have you been up to?
Me: Ugh, it's a long story.
Me: I'm the arsehole in it.
Me: I'll be with you in a minute.
Me: Stick with Hanna, the submarine nymph,
Me: Pretty please *hands clapped together emoji*
Bell: Girl, everyone is looking for you.
Bell: Everyone is waiting for you.
Bell: Mia said you will be here soon, that you were studying.
Bell: No one is falling for that bullshite.
Me: I actually was studying.
Me: *laughing gif*
Me: Anyways, flying to you now.
Me: Go to Hanna.
Bell: With her already.
Then I left the cabin, locked behind, took off my shoes, sent them with my phone, iPad, and bottle of water (that birds can't drink), and shifted into my serpent feeling like myself again. I took up the skies and flew to where they were waiting in the front of the Castle, as it's where the opening ceremony will be happening apparently. And as I approached, everyone gasped.
Oliver's fury and sadness getting stronger as I got closer to him, but I made sure to get to the ground far enough from him.
Everyone opened space as I flew right above them, then, still up in the air, I changed back to my changeling body, a mischievous grin on my lips, fangs flashing, wings gone, I kept myself up solely with my telekinesis, and then I summoned my boots from my ring to my hand. "Hi," I beamed, getting down to stand in front of Mia, and everyone halted to stay away from me, most of them scared.
I sat down on nothing and put my boots on. I propelled myself up.
"Sorry, for the delay," I turned to Mia and where the representatives of the Ministry were standing on both her right and left side, all with shock in their eyes.
Except Philippa, that bitch's terrified. Rightfully so.
"I was studying, and lost track of time," I heard some laughs behind me, but I kept myself up a meter above the ground. "For those who don't know me, I'm Wilhelmina Rosalind Miralanthor, a black winged-serpent, as you just saw my majestic self. But call me Hel. I'll get annoyed if you call me by my name, and you should believe when I tell you, you won't like to anger a winged-serpent," I glared straight at Philippa, "we are quite the vengeful bunch."
Oh my, look at that. She's ashen pale.
