Inside of a grand, golden palace lies a non-blood-related-sibling meeting for the first time.
Curio: So, you're my new sister?
He said this while staring at a peach-haired girl with even peachier eyes. She looked like a typical anime heroine--especially in those Rom-Com cartoons.
See? That was a pretty decent description.
Zulie: Precisely.
Now, Zulie thought Curio looked like an overworked blondie-hence dark eyebags underneath his purple eyes. For a prince, he was not very prince-y. Instead, the boy looked like a rebellious teenager.
...
No comment.
Zulie: Should you be frantic or something? I expect someone as arrogant as you should be whining about your new stepmom.
See, Zulie was very into cliche television--as she was raised on Earth for a large portion of her life.
Curio: Pft. First of all, that is ridiculous. Second, I do not have the time to be mad at a little girl.
Zulie: Little?
Actually, they were only 3 years apart--
...
Zulie, clicking her tongue: Anyways, do you have anything fun to do around here?
Curio paused to think for a moment.
Curio: Bingo? Uno? Poker?
Zulie scoffed. She was appalled by the lame response.
Curio: Pardon?
The peach--er Zulie gave a sinster grin.
Zulie: I have a fun activity we can do.
Curio: Hmm? what is it?
They go to the arena because Zulie's great idea is a duel!
Zulie: Alright, blonde emo vulture. I am not calling you older brother until you can beat me in a duel.
Curio: Number 1, that was a very intricate nickname there. Number 2, I'm not going to bully the weak.
Zulie: Do not get too boastful just yet.
After a slight pause, Curio realized she was serious. Well, as serious as someone with her brain cells can get.
Curio: Fine. Don't regret it, little sis.
Zulie: 'Strike.'
Zulie's wand sliced through the air at exceptional speed. It was quick, but not quick enough.
Curio: 'Miss.'
He hadn't pulled out his weapon yet, so he was using his palm to direct the spell.
A strong gust of wind knocked the scepter away seconds before the wand could penetrate Curio's eye.
Zulie's wand ricocheted off of thin air and hit the arena's stone wall with a thud.
Curio could only pray Zulie was fine with a broken wand. (And that her wand was not designer--yes, we have boujee sticks of magic in this world.)
Curio advances at Zulie and unleashes a black scythe which was brimming with dark energy.
Zulie: A close-range weapon, eh? Looks like I can not let him get near...
