Chapter 1

In a tan room stood a light brown bed with pink sheets, a purple blanket, and a pink pillow on it. A mirror with a blue frame was on the other side of the room. Underneath the blanket laid Princess Elizabeth, the Princess of Magic. 

Knock knock knock. ¨My princess, the Queen sent me with news,¨ said a manly voice.

Once Elizabeth heard him she woke up with a start. Her sky blue eyes opened wide and she pushed herself up, her blanket falling off her chest. Elizabeth´s messy blonde hair poked in every direction as she sat up.

The knocking came again. ¨Princess?¨ he asked, ¨I have some news.¨

Elizabeth recognized the voice as Nicoel, a brave knight that won the royals´ trust. ¨Go on,¨ Elizabeth said firmly, as she got out of bed. She was wearing a nightgown.

¨The Queen is leaving for war in two days,¨ Nicoel said. 

Elizabeth walked to the mirror, looking at her reflection. A golden desk stood next to her with a purple comb on it. Picking it up she said, ¨Is that all, Nicoel?¨ She started to comb through her tangled hair.

Nicoel cleared his voice. ¨The Queen would like to have a word with you tomorrow.¨

Elizabeth finished combing her wavy, blond, waist long hair by the time he finished. ¨Thank you, Nicoel,¨ she responded. 

A silence rang between them until Elizabeth knew Nicoel had left. Elizabeth sat down on her bed. ¨I hate meetings,¨ she thought.

¨My Princess, may I come in?¨ came a high pitched voice.

Elizabeth walked to the door and opened it slightly to see Madam Plum, one of the maids. ¨Of course,¨ said Elizabeth politely as she opened the door. Madam Plum had her black hair in a bun, she wore a black dress with a white apron. ¨What do you think?¨ Madam Plum showed Elizabeth a blue dress with light pink flowers sewn on it, ¨It matches your eyes.¨ Madam Plum walked into the room and went behind a white screen.

She stuck her head out, ¨Come in, come in, this dress will look perfect on you.¨ The door closed on its own as Elizabeth walked behind the screen.

A few minutes later, Elizabeth walked to the mirror and looked at herself, and indeed the dress matched her eyes. Madam Plum walked up behind Elizabeth and started to split her hair into three parts. She braided Elizabeth´s long beautiful hair.

Once Madam Plum finished with Elizabeth's braid, she let go happily. ¨Beautiful,¨ she said, ¨Just beautiful!¨

Elizabeth kept looking at herself in the mirror as Madam Plum walked out of Elizabeth's sleeping chamber.

Elizabeth opened her door and walked out, closing the door behind her. At the end of the hallway on her left stood a tall knight with steel armor on, his steel helmet decorated with a big red feather. ¨Good morning, Nicoel,¨ said Elizabeth with a nod.

¨Good morning, my Princess,¨ Nicoel responded.

Elizabeth walked to the front doors, guarded by two knights, who opened the doors for her.  She thanked them and went on her way through the gates. Elizabeth walked out, feeling the breeze on her face.
