It had been several hours since I met the prince, and I was currently resting in the comfortable room the king had provided me. As I lay on the bed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation building inside of me.

After all, it was almost midnight, and that meant that I was finally going to receive my magical powers. I had been waiting for this moment for so long, and I couldn't believe that it was finally here.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. I had always dreamed of having magical powers, and now that the time had finally come, I was both excited and nervous.

What would my powers be? Would I be able to control them? These questions and more ran through my mind as I waited for the clock to strike twelve.

As the minutes ticked by, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I was so close to realizing my dream, and I couldn't wait to see what the future holds.

Finally, the clock struck midnight, and I felt a strange sensation wash over me. It was as if a surge of energy had been released into my body, and I could feel my magic awakening.

As I walked into the grand hall of the palace, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at its sheer size. The high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and lavish furnishings all seemed to sparkle and shine, creating an atmosphere of opulence and grandeur. But despite the beauty of my surroundings, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me since I received the invitation to the royal ceremony.

As I made my way towards the stage, I noticed the queen standing tall and proud, her regal presence commanding attention from everyone in the room. She wore a stunning silk and satin gown, its colors shimmering in the light like a rainbow. Her hair was styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with precious jewels that glinted like diamonds.

But what caught my eye was the orb that the queen held in her hand. It was a beautiful, delicate crystal ball that radiated an otherworldly energy. I felt a sudden surge of excitement mixed with fear as I realized that this must be the artifact that I had heard so much about. The one that was said to grant wishes to those who possessed it.

As I approached the stage, the queen smiled warmly and gestured for me to come closer. I felt a lump form in my throat as I tried to speak, but my voice seemed to catch in my throat. I swallowed hard and tried again, but all that came out was a nervous squeak.

The queen laughed kindly and motioned for me to relax. "Do not worry, my dear," she said. "I am not going to bite you. At least, not until you have had a chance to prove yourself worthy of this gift."

I nodded, feeling a mixture of relief and terror. Prove myself worthy? What did that mean? And how was I supposed to do it?

I nodded and approached the orb, feeling a sense of trepidation. What would happen when I touched it? Would I be able to handle the power it granted?

I placed my hand on the orb, feeling a strange sensation coursing through my body. Suddenly, the orb began to glow, and I felt a surge of energy flowing through me.

The queen gazed at me, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Interesting," she said. "It seems that you have the power of water now move your hand from the orb," she said i tried to move my hand but it was stuck "I cannot" 

I tried to remove my hands from the orb, but it didn't budge. It was as if it was stuck to me, or maybe I was stuck to it. The queen watched with interest, seemingly enjoying my struggle.

"It appears that you have a strong connection to the elements," she said. "Your magic attributes are revealed. You have the power of fire" Just as I thought it had ended the queen kept speaking
