Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 30: With Everything I Got



Time passed and Alicia who thought she was going to get a few months rest wondered how these past few months were supposed to be a rest! She had to wear even heavier body weights and her training was packed so tight she was only getting two hours of sleep a night! Four if she was lucky! But Alicia did not complain mainly because Berlin had told her unless she could teleport herself from the entrance of his personal space to the cottage, she would not be allowed to leave and go take the squires test. Hearing this motivated her even more! The only thing was, was that, Berlin did not tell her to be able to teleport one's body that distance you would need to be at least able to use advanced magic! That would take a normal person years of work at nourishing their Magi Sack!

But on this day her last day of training Alicia stood at the entrance of Berlin's space with her eyes closed. "Master Berlin said that in order to do this I have to imagine myself appearing in the distance. But I do not understand that very well. So I need to come up with a way to do this that fits me best. Like opening a door to the location so I can just step through it and be at the location in an instant."

With this thought in mind, Alicia thought of a path that she could open up that led to that location. Once she got herself a good mental image Alicia opened her eyes, reached her right hand out in front of her and said: "Rift!"

At her words, a tear in space appeared in front of her. The tear was just big enough for her to walk through. She inspected the tear that hovered in front of her closely before stepping through. As she stepped through it was as if she was stepping through a door to another room. She was now standing in front of the cottage where Berlin, Loeri, and Frey were all waiting for her. Alicia formed a smile on her face at her accomplishment. It was not like Berlin's teleport but it still did the job. contemporary romance

Berlin had a look of shock on his face. What did he just see? Did this daughter of his just use space-time magic? She just ripped a hole in space like it was nothing! There was only one person in the kingdom that could use this magic and it was him! Berlin started to ponder if Alicia was really his blood related daughter from some fling that he did not remember about. Thinking quickly Berlin said: "Alicia from now on you are not allowed use this magic unless it is an emergency. This kind of magic is very rare and basically there are only a handful of humans and demi humans who can use it."

"Others can use this kind of magic too ?" Alicia felt a little depressed since she thought she had come up with an original magic.

"Not exactly the same but very similar like this space is a variation of this kind of space time magic. Mine just creates its own world. But if I were to apply it the way you did like this." Berlin touched the air, creating a tear in the air in front of him just like Alicia did. He stepped through it and appeared at the entrance then created another and appeared back at the cottage. When he got back he realized this was much easier to use than teleporting. And it seems that it could be used in a way to travel to places one has been before. "Mmm… this is good. Alicia, what did you name this spell of yours?"

"Rift..." Alicia felt a little embarrassed to say the name since she only thought of it on the fly and did not put any actual thought into it.

"Good name! Fits it well. Alicia from now on if you create any spells on your own let me see them first before showing them to anyone else. Just in case it is something that might cause an uproar or cause you to be targeted by others." Berlin's tone was very serious.

Alicia nodded her head and said: "Do not worry Master Berlin. I will make sure to show you all the magic I come up with first. And I will not use rift unless it is an emergency."

Alicia was not dumb she knew certain things would cause others to want to covet them. Especially when she was just a little girl they would think nothing of it to try to kidnap her and force her to use the magic she created to do bad things. But this would also be the same for when she got older as well. Unless she was powerful enough that no one would want to even try to attempt to attack her.

It was then when a thought came to mind. 'I wonder if rift can open a pathway back to earth...' She thought this but she also thought about Berlin, Loeri and of course Frey who was dependent on her. She realized that even if she wanted to go back home. In her current body, there would be no way for her to return back to the life she once had. She could not go back to her parent's side. She would have no place back on earth she could call home. Alicia gazed up at Berlin who was warmingly smiling at her, causing her to smile back. Here, in her new life, she had a new home, a place she belonged, and a way to make it through her life. To top it all off, she was able to walk the path to achieve her dream of becoming a knight. Alicia tilted her head and looked up at the sky, once again losing herself in her thoughts. 'Mom, Dad, Akari is no more. I am now Alicia! An Alicia that strives to become a knight! So even if one day I am able to return home I will not be going. I have a new family now. Friends I see as my family that I care for and love. I even have an adopted daughter! Funny right? I am only nine and I have a daughter. But she is not human. She is a fairy and the last of her kind. She is very dependent on me and will never be able to leave this world. So Mom, Dad Akari… No Alicia, I, will now no longer dwell on the past and instead, I will rush forward with everything I got!'
