Hello.
My sister is currently having a sleep over at her friend Oliva (aka magiceyes02) and has charged me with posting for her.
Here exact words were "Amuse the short-lives"
Knowing here that could mean anything from an amusing story to turning the lot of you into snail droppings (Although I'm not sure snails have droppings).
I'm sorry for any trouble my sister has caused. She's a petulant and precocious girl and has been for some time.
But I love her and despite the fact she's done some truly horrible things always will love her. And trust me when I say you haven't seen the worse of her. In fact she's really mellowed. Now picture her say age 4, about a third as powerful as she is now but still powerful enough to turn you into a two headed duck with a snap of the finger.
Now picture my little sister being forced to attend her first Princess Ball. For those of you who don't know a Princess Ball is a dancing/banquet /social event where the Princesses of the empire (Me and Lucinda) would host the other young noble ladies of the empire and their escorts.
Sounds like fun? It can be if you get past all the snippy teen and preteen noble ladies. Well this was Lucinda's first Ball and she didn't want to go.
You See Lucinda was at the time fascinated with a Circs troop that was visiting our home and had watched every performance and wanted to be there for the next one.
But Duty calls and after going through 3 nanny's and 17 royal dressers it was my mother and I who eventually dressed her and got her to the banquet hall in my palace.
(Lucinda and I each had our own Palace, think of them as private wings of the main castle but with its own staff, guard and so on).
Being our empire covered so many worlds there were hundreds of guest noble-girls and their escorts and other visiting dignitaries children. It was the place to be for young nobles. And things were going well till Lucinda was introduced.
Lucinda at the time wasn't the most agile little girl and tripped on her gown. Laughing at the second Princess of the Empire wasn't something one did but someone in the rear snickered...and another, and another till soon half the hall was laughing.
Lucinda stood straightened her crown and started pointing and changing. The Theme of the Change was of course the Circus. By the time I managed to calm her Man eating Manticore, Winged Serpents, Giant Mammoths and Land Sharks were stomping and devouring their way through a panicked crowd.
Thankfully I, The guards and a few of the more magically adept young ladies managed to corral the creatures before more than a few dozen perished.
Lucinda was grounded for a week in her Palace by my parents as ruffled noble feathers were sooth. And the person who started the laughter was found and Placed in the "Soul Engine" (You don't want to know what that is..you think you do but you don't)
Not long after that my Parents limited my Sisters Royal duties to smaller solo events and events were I or they were present.
I hope you find that amusing...If not I guess I could turn a few of you into snails...or mind control you into acting out a few episodes of "Grey Anatomy while dressed as my favorite Anime characters.
