Phantasia: The Princess Knight

In a grand hall, Alicia stood with Frey on her shoulder face to face with a female Cat Sith that was black with white paws. This was Queen Mittens the ruler of the Cat Sith. "To think in my lifetime I would meet a celestial. You have graced me with a great honor. Miss..."

"My Name is Alicia, Alicia Von Alastine, Third Princess of the Kingdom of Alastine. This here is Frey, my daughter." Alicia said with a smile, she was really getting used to introducing herself to royalty now. 

"That is truly an odd relationship since you are of two different races but it is also understandable. I sense the celestial blood in her and also another strong power..." Queen Mittens was very shocked at how strong Frey actually was. 

"I am only half Celestial. My mother and father are from two different races. My mother's side is that of Celestials while my father was of a race of Cultivators. Technically we can still be considered humans with extraordinary powers. Unfortunately, my mother and father are no longer around and my current father, King Augustus, the king of Alastine is also of the Celestial race. " Alicia said honestly. With her strength, she really had nothing to fear and she really did not like lying, so there was no reason not to be completely honest.

"I am sorry to hear about your parents..." Queen Mittens's voice sounded sad as she spoke. 

Alicia realized that Queen MIttens had gotten the wrong idea and quickly waved her hands back and forth as she said: "Don't get me wrong my parents are still alive but just not on this world."

Placing her paw in her chest Queen Mittens let out a sigh and smiled. "Then that is good. May I ask why your highness has come to our little domain?"

"Well, to be honest, I am looking for the fairy race. It is so that my daughter can learn more about her own race from her own people. There is only so much I can teach her..." Alicia explained. 

"Sadly I am not able to help in this matter. We have not been in contact with other fey tribes since the war between devils and gods. I can however get Meowskins to copy a map of Phantasia that has the locations of every race on it before the war between devils and gods happened." Queen Mittens felt bad since she was not able to help Alicia. She wished she could do something more but all she could offer was a map.

"No this is great actually. Just being able to have a map is enough for me to at least have an idea of where to search. I truly appreciate it." Alicia gave a small bow. She was not able to hide the smile on her face. A map of all the areas the ancient races settled was huge. It would allow her to get a better idea of who lived where and give her a better starting point to search these areas. Although it has been a long long time since the war between devils and gods and the landscape has changed quite a bit it was still worth checking out.

Seeing how happy Alicia was with just a simple map made Queen Mitten's smile. "Then I am glad I could be of some help. Feel free to roam around the city as you wish. The people of Felinenia are all very welcoming." 

"Then do you mind if I bring in some of my friends? And also the current queen of the Kingdom of Nhoshara is also waiting for me as well. She might want to speak with you." Alicia asked.contemporary romance

"Yes of course. I would also like to meet with the queen of the Fey. I will prepare to have someone send you back." Queen Mittens nodded her head and smiled. She had many things to discuss with Queen Angelina.

"Ah! No need I can bring them here in a flash." Alicia said these words before waving her hand creating a time and space distortion. She stuck her head through it and spotted Loeri and the rest sitting down on some rocks nearby. " Loeri, everyone, step through this distortion I am bringing you to where I am at."

"Alicia, you know… Can you not just stick your head through those portals like that!? It feels a little creepy!" Starla yelled. All she saw was Alicia's head pop out of thin air and nothing else. You couldn't even see her body. It was as if her head had detached from her body and was hovering in the air.

"Starla you have seen walking skeletons and other even creepier monsters. Why is it that you are fine with those but you see my head and you feel creeped out?" Alicia didn't know if she should feel offended or not by Starla's words.

"That's because your head is scarier than any of the monsters!" Starla said jokingly. 

"Alright I am a scary monster, now hurry up and come over." Alicia rolled her eyes and pulled her head out of the distortion. 

Soon Alicia's group was standing in front of Queen Mittens. This caused Queen Mittens to be shocked by the diversity of Alicia's group. "Let me introduce you to my friends here. This here is Blake my Fiance. Next to him is Loeri, Starla, Annelia, Rose, Claire, and lastly, we have Queen Angelina." 

Queen Mitten's paws became moist as she saw a dragon and someone in from the gods race as well. It was already difficult for her to deal with a celestial and a fairy now she has two more big shots standing in front of her. "Ahem… It is a pleasure to meet you all. Princess Alicia, you truly have a diverse set of friends.... "

"They are my dear friends and family." Alicia said with a warm smile before looking at Queen Angelina. "Your Majesty I am sure Her Majesty would like to speak with you. For now, I will take a look at the wonderful city of Felinenia." 

After leaving the castle Alicia and the rest strolled the streets of Felinenia. They couldn't enter any of the buildings since they were not big enough for humans to enter but they had many street stalls that allowed Alicia and the rest to enjoy some of the food and crafts that the Cat Sith made. 

Blake walked over to one stall that had a selection of ear clips. "Oh ho! To think I would see a human in my lifetime. Young man my guess is the little lady with the blond hair is your woman right? Why not take this here and give it to her as a present." The old shopkeeper pulled out an ear clip that had a butterfly design on it. "Although they are made for us Cat Sith, these clips are designed to fit even humans with no pain whatsoever. It's on the house since I finally got to meet some humans for the first time in my life." 

"Then I give you my thanks." Blake said with a smile as he took the ear clip.

"Blake, what's that?" Alicia asked as she walked over to Blake and looked at the object in his hand curiously.

"This is an ear clip, here let me put it on you." Blake raised his hand and gently brushed Alicia's hair behind her ear. This gentle action from Blake caused Alicia to blush. Blake smiled and gently clipped the ear clip on to Alicia's ear. "Mmm... Fits you perfectly. Very beautiful." 

Alicia felt her face go hot as she gazed up into Blake's eyes that looked down at her lovingly. Off to the side, all the other girls were blushing away as they watched the two being lost in their own world. It was a scene that would make anyone want to watch. Blake was extremely handsome and Alicia was very beautiful. They made for the perfect couple. When you add in the loving gaze as they stared at each other, it made for quite the scene. 

"Ho ho young love is nice. When you two finally make some kids make sure you bring them back here to let me see how cute they turned out to be!" The old shopkeeper interrupted the little world the two were lost in.

Alicia's face went completely red. She buried her face in her hands not wanting anyone to look at her. Blake chuckled and pulled her into his arms allowing her to use his chest to hide her face. He then looked at the old shopkeeper and said: "Because you gave me a fine gift to give the girl I love then I will make sure I do just that.. "

Alicia turned her head to look at the old shopkeeper and nodded her head, giving him a smile. The old shopkeeper felt his own cheeks go hot when she saw Alicia's smile. He felt like he had just been blessed by the true gods. Of course, Alicia's embarrassment did not end there, Starla and the rest couldn't help but hoot and holler at the two yelling things like: "Why don't just make a baby already!" and "Whoooo! Get a room already!"

Of course, this did not come without repercussions from Alicia as she suddenly said: "How about I send you all back into my space to do a thousand years of cultivation!"

"Ahem… Alicia, we were just joking, don't be like that..." Loeri said slightly blushing while scratching her nose. 

"Humph! That's what I thought." Alicia said teasingly.

The group continued to shop around tasting the delicacies and buying trinkets here and there. These were things you could not get in the outside world so they were very rare. Things were going smoothly until Alicia sensed something that was producing a large amount of devil qi. "One second guys..." 

Alicia rushed over to a stand a little way down from where they were causing the others to look at each other questioningly, before following after her. When they reached her what they saw was Alicia holding a large rock in her hand that seemed to be exuding an evil aura. "Old sir where did you get this rock?" 

"Ah, this miss… To be honest I do not think you should buy it. It seems to be cursed… I was just thinking about taking it off my stand and disposing of it later." The shopkeeper answered.

"It's a good thing you didn't dispose of it yet. It is indeed cursed but where did you find such an item here?" Alicia asked.

"This, I found it near the edge of the forbidden area. The whole place is riddled with rocks like this. That area seems to expand every year. So now the forbidden area takes up a much larger space than it did years ago." The shopkeeper explained.

"I see… I will buy this from you." Alicia decided she would help the shopkeeper out by paying for the rock even if he was going to toss it away. She wanted to talk to Queen Mittens about this rock and this so called forbidden area.
