Princess Rhauria

The crowd whispered and asked her too but instead of answering the questions she created a portal and gets inside it. She saw that the portal she created has a white light and lightning in it. The portal takes Sophie somewhere where she looked for Ria. When Sophie created a portal Ria was on her mind so it's possible that Ria was close to where the portal took Sophie.

That's when Sophie realized that she was in front of the castle's door. Sophie looked around and saw the castle servants. She was about to leave before she could be seen but the door opened and the face of what she was looking for appeared.

"Ri--" Sophie interrupted as her friend pulled her away and hid on the side of the tall grass.

"Princess Rhauria!" authoritative call of a woman, the king's youngest sister.

"Why are you here?" Ria asked Sophie in a whisper. Sophie looked at her "No Ria, WHY are YOU here?" Sophie asked back sharply. Ria sighed, she thought it was time to admit who she was. "You're not safe here" After that, she made a ground portal so they both fell on it and landed in a soft bed.

"What the heck is happening? What are you doing here in the palace?" Sophie looked around, they were in a room she was sure that room was for a princess. "And what are we doing here ??"

=Ria's P.O.V.=

As I sat on the side of my bed, Sophie was walking back and forth. "Can you please stop walking? I'm the one who's dizzy with what you're doing," Fortunately, she stopped and now she's staring at me strangely. "W-what?" why am I stuttering.

"So really? Are you a princess who lives here in the palace?" I just nodded in response for Nth time, she had been asking before but she did not believe. "Sophie I'm not forcing you to believe," I just lay down, I was tired because earlier we saved many citizens who were sent here to the palace. Today we took them to a private hall just next to the palace.

It was big, but not enough for all the Lochwynne people. Others stayed outside the Hall and helped make temporary accommodation. Plus, King Zhaodus stress me out. He's panicking about the White magic that we saw.

The palace was the strongest building in our world, but we also believe that if the quake lasts, our whole world will collapse, and our race will be destroyed. "Earlier, did you see the light? Everyone thought the woman from the other world had returned to take revenge." I noticed that Sophie was stunned.

"R-Ria .." Sophie played with her fingers. I'm sure she was hesitant to tell me whatever she had in mind. "Do you trust me, Sophie? Did you know anything about what happened earlier ??" She did not answer. she just stared at the floor as she continued to play with her fingers.

"Do the light has something to do with you ?" in that, Sophie looked at me. I already have an idea that she is involved with this. This is what the king's afraid of. The king was scared that one day, Sophie became powerful that might appear as a threat.

"Yes, Ria ... The light you or you saw, I think it came from me."

"SERIOUSLY?!" I can't tell Sophie that I knew, she might start to avoid me. All I want is to protect her. "Ria, I can explain." she seemed worried about how I reacted. Don't worry Sophie, I understand.

I am also worried about her. If it is true that that light came from her, which is only White magic users capable of using it, she will be damned. "Sophie what are you doing? You will be damned by ... what is happening to you."

"Earlier, while I was rescuing the people of Redacre, I also saved the old lady, she's weak, as one of those I saved said, we are gradually losing our powers and I feel that before, I am weak but I tried to save the old lady. "

"You're right Sophie, I've been feeling weak since the blue smoke brought us back."

"She said she would lend me his power, then I would use it anyway to save our world, and fix what was damaged?" Sophie was silent.

So it came from that old lady. What does it mean? someone did cross-dimension again? "Sophie? Aren't you wondering why the old man is so powerful?" Sophie also thought about what I asked. "Wait, the blue smoke, that's the power of the old lady." she stopped and think of something.

"So? What does it mean? The old lady has our power, and at the same time white magic?"

"And lightning," Sophie added while rubbing her forehead.

"Lightning? It's also included? I thought the lightning just came along with it in the light?"

"Yes," I stood up straight and so did Sophie.

"If she has smoke that is the power of Black Magic-Users,"

"And there is a light power that only White Magic-Users have," Sophie added.

"Plus there is lightning," I turned to Sophie. "It means," and so did Sophie to me, now we are facing each other.

"She's a ..." Sophie's meaningful expression. Sophie and I stared at each other, raising two eyebrows at me as I frowned at what we were saying. "She is one?" I asked because I did not know. She frowned "Y-you, what? She's what?"

"Why me?"

"It's your turn,"

"Turn where?"

"Ahm, in our answer sequence?" Mother of Lochwynne, I almost bumped my head against the wall. No, Sophie's head, why would I bump my head. "She has three powers meaning ..."

"We do not know what that means," we added. We have no idea what to call a power like that.

It was obvious that the old lady meant to go here and look for Sophie whoever she is. I still want to make sure Sophie is safe from what that old lady told to her. Sophie is the heir to the throne, she cannot be damned. "Let's go to the library," I said.

I looked at Sophie's Wrist because of its light I just noticed. They have a Gem on their wrist, which helps them use magic without any equipment. That Gem would replace their heart into a crystal power source that would fill their blood into an unknown power. I also have it even though I'm a Royalty, but it was placed in our chest.

The brighter it is, the stronger power it has. "You look so powerful Phie," I can't take my eyes off his wrist because this is the first time I have seen such a strong light, hiding a strong power. It would be dangerous for Sophie if the palace staff could see it. even the ruler of our world has never had such a powerful force.

Sophie picked up my Black Rhinestone bracelet, that I used to wear every day, just the right width to cover her Gem's distracting light before we enter a portal.
