Tracy attacks Ariella

Tracy was worried. How could one be the four kinds of Fairies at once? It wasn't possible, and it has never possible; once you are born a garden fairy, you are a garden fairy for life, there was no switching. The seer was obviously crazy and didn't know what he was saying.

She stood on a very high mountain, she could see the complete view of the whole kingdom. This was her inheritance, she needed to fight for it at all cost, she would meet the other kind of three fairies and force them to teach her their kind of magic to see if she could learn. Ariella was fast rising above her, she was now the talk of the town. Anywhere she went, all she heard was her sister's name.

The wind blew a sheet of paper to where she stood, she picked it up. A part of it was torn, but a sentence caught her attention: “Banished for practicing black magic” she couldn't see the person's name because it was at the torn part.

“Black magic!” She exclaimed aloud. All her life she had never come across or heard the news about a person banished because of black magic, this was her first time, although it was written in the lawbook. She had always thought it was an outrageous and stupid law. As much as she wanted to meet this evil legend and ask her to get rid of her sister, she couldn't. The law stated that once the heir apparent to the throne was found involved in black magic, that person was automatically disqualified.

Daisy was disturbed. The prophecy had been released finally and was already all over the town. It was almost time for her to unveil herself, but she wasn't ready to. She didn't know how Ariella would take in the news when she finally exposed herself. But she was so scared that the evil one might use Ariella as a means of access to the kingdom. Her heart was so big, and she could be easily fooled. Ariel just gained an extra enemy; her sister was number one, for she was the only one who could be the four kinds of fairies. That was her destiny!

She had to protect the messiah at all cost, that was her sole duty, for her life depended on it. Her mission was to protect Ariella until she fulfilled her destiny and if she ever failed, there was a a great penalty. She made an oath.

Ariella unlike everyone else, was not disturbed by the prophecy. Although, it sounded scary, she was rest assured that the supposed Messiah was lurking around training really hard and would come to their rescue when the evil one showed up. Obviously the Messiah was an ancient fairy spirit because it was not possible for a normal fairy to possess the four kinds of fairy magical power.

She suddenly remembered Daisy and a frown appeared on her face. Where was Daisy? Since three days ago, the prophecy was released, she hasn't seen her. Was she sick? Maybe she went to visit her family but no! Daisy never said a thing about having a family. It was so unlike Daisy not to be close to her for days, she was the most faithful maid servant she'd ever seen. She was always around her like her whole life depended on it.

She was so happy that she was improving in her magic use at a quick pace, who would have thought that just in seven months she would be able to magically create beautiful flowers. The best part of it was that, she healed a sick girl and brought back her hair. She was sure her mother was proud of her wherever she was.

She still felt disturbed to go check on Daisy to see if she was okay but felt reluctant. Not only that, but she left her room to Daisy's room after much hesitation.

She could swear she saw Daisy's eyes pop out in shock when Daisy turned around and saw her standing behind her. Daisy was so engrossed in her thought that she didn't hear her knock. Daisy backed the entrance of her room and paced around like someone who was confused when she entered after much knocking.

“Hey! Daisy, are you okay?” She asked when she saw the look of shock in Daisy's eyes, like someone who was caught in a secret act.

“I…you… Yes! I am fine!” Daisy replied, not knowing what to say. Ariella was looking at her with questioning eyes, and she just couldn't find the right words to say to her.

“I was only thinking about the prophecy, you know,” She continued. She needed a clue on what was on Ariella's mind, so she could plan her next line of action.

“Oh that! Please don't bother about it, okay? I will make sure no harm comes to you,” Ariella assured Daisy as she held her two hands. Daisy heaved a sigh of relief, the princess wasn't bothered by the prophecy so at least she had a little more time to think but still, since the prophecy had been released then the day of it accomplishment was no more far.

Tracy barged into her sister's room angrily but couldn't find her. She had made up her mind to kill Ariella with her bare hand and make any innocent maidservant take the blame. Speaking of maidservant, Daisy was just the perfect person to implicate. She was always around her sister, so it will be easy.

She peeped out her sister's window that faced the palace garden directly and saw both of them chit-chatting happily. That happiness was soon going to end for both of them. She marched hastily to the garden, she had to kill them before others noticed.

“So this is where you've been, you enemy of progress!” Tracy yelled when she approached her sister in the garden. Ariella looked at her for a few seconds without saying a word, and then she looked away. Tracy was exasperated. How dare this little brat ignore her in front of a dirty maid. Her! The future ruler of fairy paradise. Well, the good thing was that she was about to squeeze life out of her.

She roughly took her sister's hand and dragged her out of the chair she was seated on. Ariella screamed in pains, Tracy's finger pierced her skin. Tracy was happy as she saw the pained look on her face, this was just the start.

“Tracy! Let me be, I beg of you, please,” Ariel pleaded softly and pulled herself away from Tracy's grip. Tracy noticed that Daisy stood there alerted, as though she was prepared for war with her. The nerve of this dirty worm irritated her. “On your knees now! You pig,” Tracy told Daisy, and she obeyed instantly.

“Now! You Ariella, I want to kill you right now and forget you ever existed. You have taken all the attention and appraisal all to yourself. I am no longer valued because of your constant show of stupidity. Father doesn't even care about me anymore, all because of you,” Tracy uttered as she made a ball of fire that could kill any living thing it touches. Tracy walked closer to Ariella while she moved back in fright.

“Tracy, please you don't have to do this , you are the heir apparent to the throne and I don't have the intention of taking that away from you. I just want to live a simple and a common life, I don't even want to be a princess talk more of a ruler, I swear. Please calm down, let's talk about it,” Ariella pleaded. She was scared to death. The look on her sister's face showed she wasn't joking. Although she was surprised her sister wanted her dead, she knew she could kill her that instant as her mind was already made up.

Daisy couldn't sit back and watch the innocent princess get hurt, she had to do something, even if it was going to attract punishment from Princess Tracy. She knelt still and chanted something that only her knew, and a whitish magic in the form of smoke formed in her hands. Tracy threw the fierce balls of fire at her sister, and at the same time, Daisy threw the smoke towards Ariella. Ariella used her two hands to shield herself as the magic approached her speedily. Her life flashed before her eyes as the fire hit her fiercely, and she fell down hard.
