The Chronicles of Pyra

Chapter 4

The next day at Eria was busy and bright everyone was getting ready for the huge school celebration at Cloud Caste. Lily woke up feeling happy and relaxed.

" Did you get a good night’s rest, sleepy head?" Elle asked

" Yeah what happened yesterday?" Lily asked confused

" Some bozo knocked you down and you fainted that's all." Elle said cheery

" Isn't that celebration at Cloud Caste today?" Lily asked sitting up

" Yeah that's why you have to get up and get ready there are a lot of cute boys there." Elle said excitedly

Lily got up and went to her closet humming a cheery tune. She put on her blue and green tank top and a blue jean-ruffled skirt. In a distance she could hear engines roaring and music blaring.

" Wow you sure are happy." Song said sadly

" It's a beautiful day and the flowers are blooming." Lily said opening the door to the balcony

" Hey Lil, wanna fly over there so you could get a great view of Syrel?" Florale asked

" I never flew before and besides I don't think that's a good idea I just feel kind of dizzy." Lily replied touching her forehead

" Okay maybe another time." Florale said

" Come on people let's head over to the party and let's have fun!" Elle said pulling us along

Lily and her friends finally reached Cloud Caste they were so amazed by all the lights and decorations they couldn't even breathe.

" Oh they're about to start the race lets go see." Song said excitedly running toward the track

A lot of people stood by the track cheering and talking it was like these guys were famous. Just then Elle spotted two witches in the crowd who looked like they were up to no good.

" Flor don't those two witches look familiar?" Elle whispered to Florale pointing at two fully powered up witches

" Yeah! They're going to attack the guys over there but what for?" Florale replied

" I don't know but just in case let's tell the others to power up." Elle said making a S sign with her fingers and holding it to the sun

Then Elle transformed into a fairy ready to fight. Florale was already ready to take out some witches.

Meanwhile........

" Look at them fairy freaks over there what are they guards?" Freeza asked laughing

" We could take them if they tried something. Now when Irin comes down the track freeze em' and surely Tera would dump him for losing." Rainy replied laughing

" Look, Rainy! There goes your best friend Song," Freeza said teasingly

" Ooh I hate her but when I get the chance I'm gonna shorten her circuit." Rainy said with an evil grin

Meanwhile.......

" What are they saying Song?" Elle asked annoyed by all the static

" They said they were gonna attack this one guy as he came down the track." Song replied slowly

" That's the guy, he’s the top warrior at Cloud Caste. There isn’t anything he can't do." Elle said " But he's really rude and uptight."

" Never heard of him." Song said shrugging

" Well we can't just let them attack him even if we don't know him." Lily said

Lily powered up quickly and stood guard just a little bit.

" Hold on Lil you don't know any spells you might hurt yourself so watch and learn. I'm gonna teach you how we do this in Radione the easy way." Song said throwing her arms in front of her

Suddenly the two witches were in the air and they didn't look too happy.

" Hey Freez, those stupid fairies are doing this to us." Rainy said angrily

" Ice ray!" Freeza said as the ice went down the invisible ray of magic that was holding them up

It froze the girls and the magic stopped. Lily began to get frustrated and heated her way out of the Frozen cage.

" What! Who is she?" Rainy asked bewildered

" Who Cares! Let's just freeze her." Freeza said evilly

Then out of the ground came a vine with an electric shock attached to it. It grabbed a hold of Rainy and Freeza and shocked them.

" Come on guys let's go." Lily said unfreezing the rest of her friends

" You Geeks won't away with this." Freeza and Rainy said angrily

" Girls what in the world is going on here?" Erigone exclaimed upset

" Those witches tried to freeze a contestant, so he wouldn’t be able to win." Elle said proudly because she helped capture them

" Florale and I put our powers together so they wouldn't get away but we ended up frozen." Song said pointing to the vine

" And might I ask what you had to do with this horrendous plan." Erigone asked looking at me

" I just unfroze them but they were trying to save that guy, honest." Lily said confidently

" Oh as it seems you, girls didn’t mean any harm I guess we could at least go talk to the witches." Erigone said sighing

" But......." Song started

But Erigone had already walked towards to the witches.

" Ladies....." Erigone bellowed looking up

The witches hissed at her and then they were gone.

Later that day........

" Hey, uh ,you guys I heard about what yall did and I wanted to uh say thanks." Irin said grumpily

" No problem we just wanted to help." Song said

" Hey Irin who's your friend!" a guy screamed to Irin

The guy ran over to them and looked around with a smile.

" They're not my.........." Irin started

" Hi I'm Elle nice to meet you." Elle said loudly gazing into the guys eyes

" My name's Moon of Skylark hi." the guy said with a hypnotizing look on his face

The two love birds walked off talking and talking while Florale, Song, and Lily stood there helplessly with Irin.

" Well I've got to go practice my guitar." Irin said scratching the back of his head

" Oh you like music? I love music I'm from Radione." Song exclaimed brightly

" Cool I've always wanted to go to Radione but . . . I better go." Irin said grumpily and walked away

" What was that all about?" Lily asked

" I don't know, let's just go hang out someplace." Song said and we all walked on

At the party there were virtual games and music coming from every direction. Song had gone off to listen to some music with some friends, Florale checked out the Floral café and Lily went to the store with millions of fairies and pixies.

" Step right up, let me, Melda, tell you your future." a pixie bellowed in a mystical way

Lily walked up and down aisles of books that told about the realms and the many cities in the realms. But only one book about Flames caught her attention it was red with an orange dragon on the front. Lily opened it and read the first passage. It read:

Flames, the king planet where everyone went to study and get better at magic. It is said that it was built by Sparkas a dragon who was evil but had a good heart. The royal people of Flames possessed great power because King Dragonus was Sparkas son and Queen Athille was the first daughter of Queen Firena a powerful fairy with millions of powers.

Lily flipped through the pages and on every page an image popped up sort of like a virtual picture book.

" Wow this is beautiful." Lily said

" You've never seen the Palace of Flames before?" a guy asked that was standing next to her

" No I'm not from around here it's kinda of a long story." Lily replied unsurely

" Hi I'm Mo....Michael." the guy said

" I'm Lily nice to meet you." Lily said extending her arm forward

" Snuckums over here." a blue-haired girl exclaimed

" Oh not again! Well I'll see you around Lily." Michael said walking away

Meanwhile..........

" Who was that red-headed girl?" Princess Aris asked angrily

" No one she was just a stranger and why do you care you act like we're an item and we're not Aris." Moon snapped

" Moon of Skylark, I forbade you to speak to me that way." Aris said

" You sound just like my father another reason why I can't be with you." Moon said turning away

" And you think you could make that girl fall in love with you before the day of the Royals. I'll humor you if you can make her like you I'll leave you alone, but if not your mine." Aris said smirking

Michael really didn't know this girl but he knew it was the only way to get rid of Aris forever and for him to move on without his father or Queen Aquan on him all the time.

" Okay, deal." Moon said" And don't tell my father where I'm at"

" Alright see ya later then." Aris said flying away

" Aris is going to lose the bet even if I have to fake it. I don't want

to marry her." Moon thought

" Hey Moon what are you doing outside the palace?" someone said

" Hi Michael, shhh, come over here." Moon commanded

" What's up?" Michael asked

" I ran away from home my father is getting on my nerves. So I just need to stake it out here for a while. So don't tell my father or anyone that you saw me." Moon said lowly

" Alright, so how is it with you and Aris?" Michael asked

" That's out of line Mike and I told you nothings with us." Moon snapped

" Oh okay." Michael said looking down

" But she bet me. She said if I could get Lily to fall in love with me she'd leave me alone." Moon said

" Really? Who's Lily?" Michael asked

" She's that girl over there." Moon replied looking over at the red-headed girl

" Wow she's beautiful you think you can win her heart?" Michael asked

" Hope so but what if I end up liking her? My father would disown me if I marry a peasant girl." Moon said

" Well let me get some dirt on her, alright bro?" Michael said as he started to walk

" Get back here, I forgot to tell you I introduced myself as Michael to everyone and now they think I'm someone else. So say your name is Moon Prince Moon because nobody around here knows me." Moon whispered

" Okay your uh.......Michaelness." the new Moon said walking away

Meanwhile......

" Excuse me but I couldn't help notice you were fascinated by the history on Flames." Moon started

" Uh yes it's beautiful." Lily said in puzzlement

" What realm might your beautiful-ness be from?" Moon asked pleased with himself

" I don't mean to be rude but did that guy put you up to this?" Lily asked

" Huh now that's pretty rude do you know who you're talking to? No? Well I am Prince Moon of Skylark and I don't do anything for anyone and I don't except commands especially from my servant boy, Michael." Moon said loudly

" Oh I'm sorry your highness I didn't realize it was you." Lily said looking around

" So will you tell me what realm your from now or do I have to have a reason?" Moon asked crossing his arms

" I'm from uh uh Czechrelvokia it's in um Spain no Alaster." Lily said nervously

" Huh?" Moon asked---

" Um sorry I've got to go." Lily said in a hurry

" Wait I really............" the new Moon started but Lily was already gone

Moon walked back over to Michael sadly.

" Mike you really blew it this time you scared her half to death maybe next time I should just go talk to her myself." Moon said sighing

" Yeah good idea, well I'll see you around." Michael said walking off

Well I should go find Lily I hope she's not frightened. Moon thought sighing

Meanwhile........

" What realm am I from anyways? I don't even know." Lily said to Song while sipping her smoothie

" Maybe your from Eldena it's near Flames it was ruled by Firena and still is. I heard she's on vacation here." Song replied

" Isn't that Queen Athille's mother?" Lily asked

" Yeah. Hey Lil there's some guy staring at you like he knows you." Song said looking over

" Oh that's Michael um I'm gonna go talk to him." Lily said

" Okay I'll be over here waiting." Song said sighing

Lily got up from the table and made her way over to Michael { who is really Moon}

" Hi." Lily said

" Hi earlier I'm sorry about Prince Moon he's a little eccentric he didn't mean any harm." Michael said shyly

" Oh, it's okay, I'm use to people like him." Lily replied nicely

" Yeah, right. So um what school do you go to?" Michael asked

" Eria, you?"

" Cloud Caste I just started yesterday it's sort of complicated." Michael replied with a half smile

" Speaking of complicated my life is sorta weird. I mean I can't remember anything and I don't know who I am. All I have is this which I don't know where it came from it's strange, you know." Lily said looking down

" Wow! And I thought I had it bad, but don't get me wrong sometimes it's good not to know who you are." Michael said quickly

" Why, what I would give to remember everything and anything about my life." Lily replied gazing off in the distance

Suddenly Michael realized he was thankful for being Prince Moon and not Michael, but he wasn't going back, he needed to be free.
