11 The Awakening Ceremony Part 2

Drizella was fascinated by the Awakening Ceremony. From what her mother told her, there is a chance she might have light magic too. But she should put too much trust into her suspension, it is never good to be overly confident in something she doesn't know.

Seeing the two counter, she chooses the one on the back where it's not facing the nobles. It never is a good idea to draw attention to one's self and the girl seems like the type who would draw more attention wherever she goes.

With a closer look, the girl seems to be a noble more than a commoner. The dress, her hair, her hat... everything about her cost more than what her family can afford! Now the question is why is she with the commoners and not with the nobles? Her attitude is of elegance and composure but... does she want attention that much to stay in the commoner's line.

What Drizella didn't think about is that she is also of noble birth, so what she said also apply to her in some way.

Seeing the crystal ball close up its made with transparent glass. Drizella places her hand on the ball waiting for something to happen. The instructor watching the ball with her announce her result, "Three Earthly Elements: water, earth, and wind. Two Heavenly Elements: lightning and time. And the amount of magical power is 8! Pretty high for a girl... Too bad the heavenly elements are useless."

There were three swirls of blue, green, and brown forming a triangle as two other swirls appear. However, these two swirls are different, one which is dark yellow with lightning spinning around it while the other is dark blue with black and white dots that shines like the stars almost similar to a universe.

There were noises coming from the other counter. Everyone was very surprised and clamoring to take a peek. The girl with blue eyes and blond hair magical power elements was the rarest of the rarest that many light elements don't have...healing. Her amount of magical power is nearly 10. From order, her earthly elements are earth, wind, metal. Heavenly elements is only one light with the power of healing and magical power is 9.

Staring at the crowd, Drizella didn't dare to go near. She just wants to finish everything quickly now. She felt a sting in her hand and pull back her hand to see the crystal ball engulf in black lightning strikes.

Before she could ask the lightning disappear so she just thought its an effect of her lightning element. She steps onto the magic circle with a silver sharp needle but... was too scared to prink herself with it. Everyone's attention wasn't directed at her but from time to time her five friends would peek at to see how she was doing. Feeling their stares, she make the resolve to finally prink herself. The thought was it's only a little prink so everything should be alright... It's not going to hurt so here goes...

Yet she prinks too deeply with her nervousness that blood was flowing out more than necessary. There were tears in her eyes as she turns her head towards her friends with a face asking for help. They stood stiffly in place until Endy search around his body and pulled out a dirty cloth. He can't get close to the magic circle or he'll disrupt the flow so he just stood there waiting until the magic circle was dispelled.

She pinches her bleeding finger trying to stop the bleeding before anything else. Just as it happened to Emma and the others, her large amount of blood swirls around forming an egg with a red symbol on the side and the eggshell white.

With that finish, there was only the egg hatching left.

Drizella holds her egg in her bosom as she walks to were her friends are standing. They look at her strangely, making her have question marks on the top of her head. Stan was the one how spoke out first, "Why are you holding the egg in your chest?"

Drizella stares at their hands only to not see anything like an egg. She said: "Why? Cause it's my baby now?"

"You some pretty weird things," Endy said as he passes the dirty cloth at her.

Drizella eyed the dirty cloth with only one thought--is that even properly hygiene? But she kept her thoughts to herself.

"Come on now guys! Stop questioning Daisy! Let's go hatch our eggs!" Emma shouted out impatiently.

...

Entering the inner area of the church, children their age were standing next to small magic circle that fit their eggs. The children were dropping blood on the egg making them break open. Each one of the eggs that are open is different but some are the same.

They walk to an open area, placing their egg inside the magic circle. The eggs were floating up close to their chest as they dip blood on the marking. Drizella didn't have to prink herself again since the flowing blood hasn't dried up yet.

As her egg begins to hatch, the small hole wound on her hand slowly swallow up disappearing. Inside the hatching egg, there was nothing popping out instead a gooey slimy thing slowly flow out from her egg a bit. With that, Drizella slowly peeks at the egg hoping it is not what she thinks it is. Expedition betrayed her as it was exactly what she thinks... a blue baby slim.

The blue baby slims slowly open its eyes staring straight at Drizella mesmerized. On the side Drizella was surprised--This isn't an anime or a manga so why is it having such pure and cute eyes!!!? Never mind that why am I having such an op creature as mine!!!? I'm supposed to be a villain and a sidekick for Cinderella!! Drizella isn't someone who would be so op... wait slime is also known as the weakest creature and ugliest too... so maybe that's why? She can't help but twitch her mouth at that thought even though all she sees is a cute little creature. There must be something wrong with her eyesight to see a slim creature as cute.

"Mmm...mma...ma!"

Listening to the sound, Drizella prinks her ears and head up to watch the little baby slim speaking cutely at her. Her face flush red as she hurriedly hugs the slimy thing and squashes it in her bosom.

The other five saw her being so happy with such an ugly creature, they can't help but question.

Drizella has always been kind of different from them as a commoner. From time to time she doesn't act like a commoner but a noble lady. However, there are times when she doesn't act like a commoner or a noble lady... is she really the same as them? They want to ask but are scared that she would disappear after they ask her. She was the only one who didn't look at them differently even though they all live out of Heliegh and help them get to know people of Heliegh. She's like a bridge that connects the sun and moon together.

...

"Hey look! Even though she has such high amplitude, her spirit guardian is so small and look so weak."

"I know. I feel like I can crush them without even lifting a finger."

"Its a shame for someone like her."

"Guess the show she was displaying before has ended."

"Isn't she a noble? Guessing she's like this and wants to attract attention so she purposely came to the commoner's side. All nobles are the same... ruining their ancestor's good name."

Clara who always have a sense of justice step out to protect the girl: "What nonsense are you saying."

"What? We are just stating the fact that we are seeing. She can't even beat one of us if that's her creature." one boy said sarcastically.

Emma nudges Drizella in front of the circle even though all she wanted was to watch things unfold. That's the kind of character she wants to be. If it doesn't involve Drizella bullying the poor sweet girl Cinderella, she wants to enjoy the show... not be part of the show!!!!

Clara might have a sense of justice in her but she doesn't have the edge to talk big or provoke others.

She can only sigh a long sigh, "Young boy. You say so, so don't go back on your words. Want to try if you can really beat her without your own tiny brainless creature... or too scared that you piss your pants, young boy."

The boy angrily leers at her, he saw that her creature was just a slime that has no skills at all but she still talk big. He sneered, "Why should I. Your the one who provoked me so you should fight me."

Drizella: "Oh dear! You really are picking on the weak." This part she fakes her tears, "Seeing that my creature is just a pitiful little slim, now you are bullying me. Don't tell me you'll do the same thing to all the others too."

Every child was whispering into each other's ears after hearing her words. Some words that leak out were, "True..." "Yuke" "Let's not go near him.".

The boy: "No. No! That's wrong, she's talking nonsense!"

Drizella: "Wah! Now he's covering the truth with baseless lies."

The boy: "No. That's not true. What do I have to do so you'll believe me!"

He's still a kid after all so this is much easier. Kids are more honest than adults are.

Drizella: "Keep to your promise. Have a match with her."

The boy angrily noded.

...

"Why did you have to go and say that!" Emma was giving Drizella a lecture as the other was thinking of a plan.

"Why? Cause this way everything would be cleared and no one would trouble her anymore if she wins this match." Drizella plainly stated.

Emma was about to say true but thinking about it... if the girl loses it'll be a big impact on her too. Emma whispered to Drizella, "You got a plan so that she won't lose."

Drizella: "None. I don't even know what is inside her egg."

Emma hit her on the head, "You! You really...!"

"Don't hit! Don't you see I'm dress so nicely soo don't rune it. I'll think of something o.k." she uttered as she walks over the blond hair and blue eyes girl.

The girl was very clammed on the surface but her hands are sweating and nervousness has already taken over her body. She stands there like a frozen statue with glittering tears swimming in her eyelids. The two men at the back which Drizella presume are her bodyguard are also worried. They might be trying to hide their panicking face but the sweat and the way their eyes are moving shows the state they are in. One of the guards quickly left the scene with a letter in hand. Drizella doesn't know where he pulled it out from and doesn't want to know since her guess is that he holds a storage ring or weapon that he put the letter in.

She walks up to the girl but was stopped by the bodyguard's hand. These bodyguards aren't like those people have seen in the movies wearing black suits and glass but... knights in shining armor!

Drizella didn't approach the girl any longer she only asks, "What's your name? ...Also what's in your egg."

The girl nervously looks up she stuttered in the beginning, "Cindi...ella... "
