Cursed Ocean

Chapter 1

"When did you find out about your powers?" He asked me again, I just stared at him. "Have you ever wanted powers? And if you did, why?" I asked him in return, Hue only stared at me with a look that told me everything. "I was born with these powers, why do you want to know al this I already told you years ago." I told him as I looked over the balcony of my father's palace. "I know you have Vivian, I just don't know the whole story. A curse? Why do you say so?" He asked staring at the setting sun on the horizon, I saw a smile on his face as he turned to look at the Saldory mountains that closed off the kingdom from the outside world that had an faint orange glow to them, the forcefield around the kingdom was meant to keep others out and me in, yea, my life as the princess turned out great...the little town beneath us was already starting to calm down as the people of Millradi grew quite too quite for my taste, as the setting sun cast shadows over the town, as I looked down at the townspeople they already were calling it a night, it looked very dark and you couldn't make out some of the objects, or people. I lifted my head and continued to stare beyond the mountains, this was something I always liked to do, I always liked to watch the ocean, the blue and white waves that seem to rise up from the water and over the mountains just to fall down again to the never ending ocean down below, some how seemed to calm me, but I'm always so afraid of the water, with me able to control water, but sometimes it controls me, and I get so scared. Everything beautiful has its dark spots, for me that is this curse. I stared at my brother for a long time before turning around and returning to my room in the palace without even looking back at him, I knew even when I couldn't see his face that he was smiling, he knew very well why my powers are a curse, were brothers after all, he should know all of this already, I didn't feel like talking to him tonight, or any other time for that matter, after what happened the last time I used my powers, I never want to talk about it again, I walked towards my room, it was deep inside the palace and I had to walk for a very long time through long corridors and dimly lit rooms before I made it to my room, I laid on my bed and stared at my small room with its one cream coloured armchair next to a low window which held the view of the palace garden, the curtains a shade of light green casting a fading green light onto the room, my little wooden cupboard in the far corner of the room with my three gowns and a jacket, I stared at my little belongings and smiled, at least I was allowed to have some nice things, my bed, as I lay here, was starting to get to small for me as well. But that's what you get when your father hates you for killing his wife, my mother.

I awoke the next day as usual, with the same routine as every other day of my life. Wake up. Bathe. Dress. Eat. Practise my sword fighting. Read. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. That was how it always went and I was getting so tired of it. I'm sure father wants to kill me sometimes. But today was different though, usually when I wake up in the morning there should be a plate with my breakfast next to my bed, today, though there was nothing, just an empty bedtable, curious I stood up and got dressed, something feels wrong about this, as I walked through the hallways, lit by the rising sun through the large windows of the palace, I felt aware of eyes following my every move. I looked around but saw nothing except the paintings of my ancestors looking down on me, maybe that was the feeling I felt of being watched? No this felt different, I could sence another presence near me but I found nothing, I followed this feeling as I continued to walk through the palace when I stopped in front of the kitchen, it was empty, which was strange because it should be full of cooks today, I began panicking, nothing seemed right today, it was as if everyone just disappeared in the dead of night. Running through every part of the palace I still found no one. I quickly ran out of the palace and into town, some of the houses were empty, but as I got closer to the town center I could hear voices and screams, panic began to disappear as I heard the townspeople, but there yelling made me cautious, carefully I proceeded to walk towards the center, the feeling I had grew stronger, once there I saw the whole kingdom crowded around something I could not see from where I stood. I heard the people yell and some whispered to each other. "How did he get in?" I heard a female voice yell. "I don't know, who are you?" My fathers voice could be heard over all the commotion. I found him standing the closest to the middle of the crowd, I walked towards everyone and once I got to the front I saw a man lying on the ground, the feeling I had stopped, his clothes were torn and his hair was wet, he was lying on his stomach face down so I couldn't see his face. But what made him strange was a piece of our forcefield clutched in his left hand, I gasped and looked over at the shield keeping us save and others save from me, it had a large enough hole in it just big enough to fit through. How had this man managed to break the barrier? It was impossible! I found my fathers eyes fall on me and we stared at each other for what felt like forever then he continued to study the man and talk to someone behind him I could not see. As he was busy I looked back at the man, I saw him move and it startled me, no one seemed to have noticed this but just then he moved again. "He's moving!" I yelled and all eyes fell on the guy on the ground, people gasped and some even ran home, someone even fainted. I just stood frozen while I stared at the man.
