What are these things he gave to her mother? What would a sensible princess need to do in a dangerous place like that? You will just have to find out…

Long Lost Power

I trudged slowly through the Enchanted Forest wearing my best tiara. I didn't want to step on anything that might go off. It's mother's fault, I grimaced. That man was so sure. Oh, if only I could have stopped her from buying that junk. Besides, I don't even know how to use the stuff, let alone know what it does.

"Give them to your daughter. She is of royal blood and is much smarter than the average person. She must bond with them. They are a part of a great power that only a certain few people understand. She must go to the Enchanted Forest to fulfill her destiny," he said.

Some power. They have not even given the least hint of magic. I was beginning to think mother had been taken in on a hoax. I don't even know how or what they do or what they are except for the fact that they are a ring and a hair thing that I have to wear.

The last time I had been to the Enchanted Forest, I was only a baby. We had been invited to celebrate Prince Daystar's wedding, which was apparently now the King. I don't even remember anything but green. That is probably why I like green things so much. It was rather unheard of for a prince to marry a fire which, but he did. Maybe I'll enjoy this trip, if I make it there un-enchanted.

"Daystar? Daystar!"

"Huh? Oh, hi Shiara. What is it?"

"Have you seen Robert anywhere?"

"Is he in his room?"

"No, I checked but he is not there and I've looked all over the castle but I cannot find him anywhere."

"He will come back eventually. What did you need him for?"

"What were you thinking about when I came in?"

"I felt the buzzing power get stronger."

"How did that happen?"

"I don't know."

Here I sat at the green glass pool, my sanctuary or favorite place to be. For me the gray haze over a smooth surface of a green pool was shrouded in mystery, excitement, and contemptment. It was relaxing for me. My hair was caught between red and black, making a purple color. My mother a fire which, and my father, King of the Enchanted Forest was a little hectic for me. Mother wanted me to learn fire magic, grandmother wanted me to learn good manners, and father saying Enchanted Forest magic would come naturally to me was enough to make one want to run away. Too much pressure I think. After ditching my mother's lessons on fire magic, I had a feeling I was going to be in trouble when I got back.

Suddenly I heard hesitant footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw a girl perhaps an age older than I picking through the moss being so careful not to step on anything fatal. She was wearing a simple green dress and was wearing a small tiara. She had dirty blonde hair held back with some sort of hairpiece. I began to laugh. She turned around and surprise struck her face for a second and then she glared at me.

"I have no time to be bothered by any Heros," she said with composure. It just made me laugh more.

I bit back a rood comment to this strange man who seemed to be one year younger than I. He was just laughing at me and I finally said, "Don't you have anything better to do than laugh at me?"

He looked startled and said, "I'm sorry. I did not mean to hurt your feelings. It was just that you're acting so proper."

"What is wrong with that?"I said indignantly.

"Well, oh never mind. I am sorry to have disturbed you in whatever you are trying to do. May I be of some assistance?"

"Not unless you know where the castle is." He gave a start but I continued, "I have been doing very well by myself already. No thank you." I went on without him. I walked a little further for a while, as the trees became larger and larger.

"Annoyed with him are you?"
