[font=garamond][size=4]H[/size][size=2]elix walked into Kia's bedroom, only to find that she was still asleep. He crept up silently beside her and gently nudged her, trying to wake her up. As her eyes opened slowly, he spoke softly to her: [color=teal]"It is time for your studies, your highness."[/color]Even as Helix spoke these words, he cringed at the thought. Studies with Kia were another way of saying 'disaster'. Her mind was ever wandering, her thoughts elsewhere. Kia slowly rose up out of her bed, rubbing the exhaustion from her eyes.
[color=blue]"...? Oh! I'm sorry, sir, I must've dozed off..."[/color]Kia managed to sort of mutter, still trying to stay awake. 'figures,' Helix thought, as he helped Kia up out of her bed.
[color=teal]"Please try to refrain from calling me 'sir', your highness,"[/color]Helix said slowly. [color=teal]"It is most...unfitting,"[/color]he added after a moment. Helix was quite unaccustomed to this sort of behavior; here he stood, a lowly demon, in front of a new Demon Lord who seemed, at least for the moment, completely different from the Lords he had seen before...[i]kind[/i], even. The most highly respected Demon Lord supervisor in the world, Helix had [i]never[/i] had to actually [i]train[/i] one of his lords and masters before.[color=teal]"And I must ask you to [i]never[/i] apologize to anyone again. [i]Ever[/i]."[/color]
[color=blue]"I'm sorry. Why shouldn't I?"[/color]Kia asked. She was totally new to this whole 'Demon Lord' thing. Ever since she had been told that this beautiful castle was hers, she had somehow gotten the idea that it was a terribly important job, but she still wasn't sure at all what the job was. 'This does not bode well,' Helix thought.
[color=teal]"Because,"[/color]he explained,[color=teal]"it is inappropriate for one so important as yourself to be so [i]polite[/i] to inferiors. And to a Demon Lord, [i]everyone[/i] is inferior. Do you understand now, your highness?"[/color]
[color=blue]"Yes, I think so,"[/color]Kia replied.[color=blue]"Um, Helix? How do I get to the library again?"[/color]she asked, glancing around at the castle which seemed to go on forever in each direction. She knew Helix couldn't have told her any less than four times already, but, once again, she had forgotten.
Helix growled.[color=teal]"For the last time,"[/color]he shouted,[color=teal]"you have but to envision the location you wish to go to in your mind, firmly state it's name, and say 'now', and you will be immediately taken there!"[/color]Helix immediately regretted shouting at her; any decent Demon Lord would have killed him on the spot for so much as raising his voice to them.
[color=blue]"Okay, okay, sorry!"[/color]Kia apologized, shrinking away from Helix. Kia had always been scared when people screamed, and old habits, they say, die hard. Quickly, she closed her eyes and recited the location of the study, and said 'now'. Suddenly, she blinked out of space, vanishing to the library. Helix smirked.[color=teal]"This is going to be a very...trying service."[/color]Then he too was gone.
When Helix opened his eyes, he was slightly surprised to find Kia there, staring in wonder at the endless shelves of books lined up all around them. 'Well, at least she teleports without difficulty,' he thought. Kia turned around and, seeing him standing there, actually leapt up 'at attention'.
[color=teal]"I beg of you, you highness...stop being so polite. It is difficult to maintain one's respect for another who humbles themself in front of their own subordinates,"[/color]Helix groaned. Kia seemed somewhat taken aback by the thought; she had never [i]ever[/i] considered being impolite to [i]anyone[/i]. Before she got a chance to apologize, Helix cut in again.[color=teal]"Let's just begin the studies, your highness."[/color]He began to search the expansive shelves in front of him for the necessary books for the studies.
[color=teal]"Today's lesson,"[/color]he noted,[color=teal]"concerns the basics of elemental magic. After you have completed the study, we shall go to the courtyard to practice magic configuration. Does this schedule suit you, your highness?"[/color]
[color=blue]"Um...sure, Helix, whatever you say..."[/color]Kia drifted off, not quite following what he was talking about. She sat down at one of the tables lined up in the section they were in just as Helix finally pulled two dusty, old-looking books from the shelf he had been going through. He set them down gently on the table and slid them across to the side Kia was sitting on. She opened the book carefully, as it seemed too much strain would tear it apart. She then began to read from it's tanned, but well-kept pages. This is what it said...[/size]

[center][size=4][color=sienna]Concerning Elemental Magic[/center]

A[/size][size=2]ccording to the ancient ones, one's ability to cast magic depends entirely upon his or her attributes. Every being, upon being born, encounters an elemental influence. Upon this encounter, the element manifests itself, to become the person's attribute. There are five possible attributes:[/size]

[size=4]Fire[/size][size=2], the power of strength and courage. One with Fire attributes may cast Fire magic. Fire magic can be used in several different ways, such as to create light or heat. Fire magic [i]can[/i] be used as a weapon, but one must be aware of the sometimes explosive side-effects.[/size]

[size=4]Water[/size][size=2], the power of healing and serenity. One with Water attributes may cast Water magic. Water magic tends towards the healing side with spells that heal, prevent injury, or purify. Water magic has few attacking spells, but there are some potent ones.[/size]

[size=4]Wind[/size][size=2], the power of agility and sagacity. One with Wind attributes can cast Wind magic. Wind magic specializes in the alteration of time (speeding or hindering the movement of others). There are also several powerful offensive spells involving cyclone-type effects.[/size]

[size=4]Light[/size][size=2], the power of life and kindness. One with Light attributes may cast Holy magic. The most potent healing spells in existance are cast using Holy magic. One may even revive others who have recently passed away. For the amazing healing abilities of Holy magic, there are very few attack-worthy Holy spells known.[/size]

[size=4]Darkness[/size][size=2], the power of destruction and malice. One with Dark attributes may cast Black magic. Dark magic comes in many forms, every one of which are used to harm others. Poisons, voodoos, pain, and death spells can be found in Black magic. Black magic can't heal [i]directly[/i], though there are a few drain spells, and one spell to raise the dead (although the dead will be 'zombified', and unable to think or be healed).[/size]

[size=2]Unfortunately, if one is not associated with a particular element, that individual cannot use magic from that attribute. Exceptional beings MAY be able to conjure a non-characteristic spell if they exert themselves, but the end result wouldn't be worth the effort.[/size]

[size=2]Magic is cast using Mezreaz. Mezreaz is the standard measurement of magical energy. To collect mezreaz, one simply draws the energy into one's body. The average magic-caster draws in about fifty mezreaz worth of energy each day. Beginning magic-casters need only about ten mezreaz worth. Once mezreaz is gathered, it stays inside the magic-caster until used. -Ω[/color][/size]

[size=2][color=blue]"Wow, that's fascinating, Helix! I wonder what attribute I have..."[/color]Kia said. There was a long silence. After this there was another long silence. Veins started to appear on Helix's forehead. An extremely aggravated look crossed his face. 'Uh oh,' Kia thought, 'I must've said something wrong again...'
Helix somehow managed to maintain his composure and explained to her, with great patience,[color=teal]"Your highness, you are a Dark-attributed person. Also, the gods chose to gift you with the responsibility of being a Demon-lord. As such, I am your humble servant. I've taken an oath to always do your bidding."[/color]With that, he bowed down to the floor and looked up at her.
[color=blue]"Um...Helix, you can stop bowing now,"[/color]Kia said after a while. Helix got up off the floor.[color=teal]"I am at your service, your highness,"[/color]he said with another, slightly less full bow, more of a nod than an actual bow.
[color=teal]"You should have some time to gather the mezreaz we'll be using for practice today. I am going to go to the front gate, in case some smartass knight tries to break in while you gather your mezreaz,"[/color]Helix said with a smile, as though this idea brought him some satisfaction. Kia thought this was fair; it would give her a chance to change out of her nightgown, in any case.
[color=blue]"Okay, have fun, Helix!"[/color]she shouted after him as he left, waving and smiling. She teleported up to her chambers and rummaged around in the huge closet in it.[/font][/size]

[FONT=Courier New]Early Morning 8:00 Palace Chamber[/FONT]
?My queen it is time for torturing the prisoners.? ?[COLOR=Gray]*yawn*[/COLOR] Oh yes of course. How could I ever forget?? ?Now Kaine let?s teleport down there.? The queen has just aroused from her sleep and now goes down to the dungeon where she keeps all trespassers. How does she torture them is simple. Just stick them in a boiling pot of water for twenty minutes. After Lily is done she is depleted of mezreaz. Now these two usually come down to torture the prisoners then go straight to breakfast, but today is different. She has too much to do so she goes straight to the disposal of gargoyles that have manifested to sit on her court yard.
?Report Kaine.? ?Yes Madam. Today you have to torture the prisoners. Then take care of the gargoyles.? ?Right right. Kaine I want you to go to check the paper and leave a surprise for our neighboring kingdom.? ?Yes Lord Lily we shall have the troops ready by twelve O? clock.? ?Lord Lily seems to be quite nice today? Kaine thought. ?Anyway I must return to my duties.? So Kaine went to rally up the troops and Lily went to gather her mezreaz. But before the gathering of troops he had to check the paper.
Surprise surprise. There was nothing about the castle of darkness. Yet the press can get to the other elements. So Kaine got the troops ready and by twelve Lily got all her mezreaz ready. So they charged their attack and the kingdom next to them had a big whooping. After that Lily went to her studies on dark elementalists. Lately she has seemed very interested in the dark elementalist area. She is fascinated on how their stealth can out rival the other elementalists.
After her studies she is about ready to perfect a couple techniques in the castle court yard. She has to learn burst of flame, Plasmatic reaction, and her favorite technique Flame sword. ?Kaine will you help me gather my mezreaz.? ?How do you expect me to do that?? ?Oh Kaine I?m just kidding.? The court yard hushed and she used plasmatic reaction, which gave off a huge energy of flame and blew a ten foot diameter scared hole into the ground. By the time she was ready for the nest technique it was 3:00 P.M. Now she preformed the flame sword. She loves this sword. ?Kaine how do you like it?? ?Like what Madam?? ?The sword you imbecile doesn?t it make me look like a true queen.? ?Oh yes yes Madam.?
The sword went away in a flash of light and she started on the final technique. She recovered her mezreaz and used burst of flame. It left half a hole as the plasmatic reaction did. So she decided to use plasmatic reaction in battle instead of burst of flame.
By six it was dinner and the cook made special roasted pork for the occasion that the queen was going to walk out of the kingdom for a three day stay at some kind of fancy five star hotel.
Now it is really rare that she does this because she thinks her husband will mess up the kingdom while she is away. Now it is nine in the chamber and the queen is going to go to sleep. She falls asleep and dreams.
This dream in particular was a weird one. ?Demonspell? ?the chosen? ?no one survives? ?die mortal? ?no? ?[COLOR=Red]*scream*[/COLOR] huh huh huh.? Thunk thunk thunk thunk. Creak. ?My lady what is a matter.? ?Oh nothing.? ?Right then I?ll leave you rest.? Little did Kaine know that she was dreaming about her childhood.
You see her childhood was a fearful one. She wasn?t always the queen. She was dreaming about all the demons that would try to rob her in the forest by her old house when the Demon Lord she knew sent demons anywhere. Anyway that was the old Demon Lord and the new one no one knows about.
