Percy was practicing at the conservatory, practicing combat sorcery, which she was trying to get better at. She was observing Tula and Garth battle, when Kaldur arrived.
"Kaldur!" Tula and her said at the same time, as they gave him big hugs.
"Kaldur, it's to great to see you." Mira Said, and Kaldur bowed to her.
"My apologies my queen, I did not mean to interrupt." He said, and Percy smiled.
"Nonsense, I have another class. I hope to be seeing you tonight?" She Asked, and he smiled.
"Yes my Queen." Kaldur told her, and before she left she looked to Percy.
"Don't forget to practice against both Tula and Garth before you return home for dinner." She Said and Percy nodded.
"Of course mother." She told her before her mother swam off, then Percy looked to Garth.
"Garth, I wanna do some more practice. Can we please spar? Tula can join later, after Kaldur talks with her." Percy Asked, and Garth shrugged. They went to the practice space, and began. Tula joined not too long later, and Percy was struggling to keep up.
"Percy, if we have to stop, just tell us." Tula Said, and Percy shook her head no.
"No, I won't get better if i don't push myself." Percy Said, before she screamed. Her whole body began to glow, and her tattoos came forth. Tula and Garth both gasped, they where just swirls. Like the souls of the sea, it was beautiful.
"Percy, I can't believe you did it!" Tula exclaimed in joy, and Garth swam up to the princess.
"Yes, congratulations Princess. You have reached the next level, you've gotten so far." He told her, and Percy smiled.
"Thanks, now I probably should head home to get out of this." She Said gesturing to her training suit, the one she wears so she isn't recognized. She hugged her friends goodbye, then went to put on her regular clothes.
That night at dinner, she could sense some tension between Kaldur and Tula. However, she had to tell her mother the good news.
"Mother, I've got something to tell you." She said, as she lowered her silverware.
"What is it sweaty?" She Asked her daughter, and Percy looked up.
"I did it, I managed to unlock my next level in sorcery." She told her mother, and Mira gasped and looked to Tula.
"Tula, is this true?" She Asked, and Tula nodded.
"Yes my Queen, it was quite amazing." Tula Said, and Orion and Orm looked impressed.
"Congratulations Niece, that is quite the accomplishment. Especially at your age, you've done well." Orm Said, and Percy beamed. Then Arthur and Mira rose.
"We too have good news." Arthur Said, and Percy was curious.
"I am with child." Mira Said, and Percy gasped.
"Congratulations!" Tula Cried out, and Kaldur swam to her father.
"Congratulations my king, another heir to the throne." Kaldur Said, but then he looked to Percy and Orm.
"My apologies Prince Orm, Princess Percilla." He said, and Orm got a broad smile.
"I am more happy about this than anyone, congratulations brother." He said, as he shook hands with Arthur. Then everyone looked to Percy, she was in shock.
"I'm going to be a big sister?" She said weakly, and Mira nodded.
"I'm going to be a big sister!!" She exclaimed in joy, she hugged her parents, and they smiled.
"Percilla, now just because we are having a child won't lessen our love for you. You are our daughter, no matter what." Arthur Said, and she hugged them tighter.
"I've always wanted siblings, I'm so excited." She Said, before she gasped.
"I've got to go tell Anthony." She Said, before she swam off. Well, she shot off like a rocket.
"She took that better than I expected." Mira Said, and Arthur nodded.
"Well, the princess is just full of surprises." Tula stayed, and everyone started laughing. Then Kaldur swam with his King, to say goodbye for now.

She was swimming through the city when it happened, bombs. She was thrown backwards, and she bumped into some people.
"Apologies." She Said, and she saw that bombs where going off everywhere. This was her home, these where her people, she will not just sit by and let this happen.
"Please, help me. We must help the people." She told the ones she was knocked into.
"Of course Princess, we are here to help." They said, and Percy then used her sorcery to help lift some of the damaged buildings so the injured could get out.
"Mommy!" A little girl screamed, and Percy turned to see a little girl stuck under some rocks, with a pillar about to collapse on her. She swam to the child, and looked for something to use to free her.
"You are going to be alright, I will get you out." She told the girl, before she began to lift the rock.
"Thank you Princess." She Said, Percy gave her a smile. Then got the rock off, she tossed it to the side. The girl swam up, and gave her a hug. Then Percy heard something falling, and her eyes widened.
She threw the girl off her, right as the rock pillar toppled over her. The girl screamed, and so did some citizens that saw it.
"Princess!" The girl screamed, and some uninjured people started to dig through the debris. Hoping to find their princess and heir to the throne, their young princess.
"Over here, I found her!" A man said, and everyone went to finish clearing the area he was in. Indeed, they found the princess. She was unconscious, and had a few gashes here and there. Those where healing, but the princess had hit her head on rocks when she was buried.
"We have to get her to the palace immediately!" A woman shouted, and the father of the girl she saved picked her up bridal style.
"I shall take her, she saved my daughter." He said, before him and his daughter made their way to the palace.

At the palace, the king and queen where speaking to Kaldur, Tula, and Garth. Prince Orm was there as well, he had the last piece of the creature they had been studying. Then, the man and his daughter arrived.
"My king, my queen, Prince Orm. The princess, she's hurt." The man said, and the group rushed to him. They saw the princess unconscious and still healing from the accident.
"What happened?" Tula Said, as she stared at the girl.
"The princess was helping others get out from under the ruins, and she went to help my daughter. She was stuck under a compromised support pillar, and so the princess freed her. But once she was free, the pillar fell. The princess pushed my daughter out of the way, and she got buried under it." The man said, and Orm took his niece.
"You did good citizen, we shall take care of the Princess. Go, rest." Orm told him, and the man hesitantly left.
"We thought that we got lucky, but Arthur. We could have lost our daughter." Mira Said, and they all looked horrified at that idea.
"I will take her to her room, and have the healer come see her. You have duties on the surface brother, I shall take care of Percilla." Orm Said, and Arthur nodded.
"Kaldur?" He Asked, and Kaldur stepped forward.
"Call me Aqualad my king." He said, and then they smiled before they left.
