V2-C35: Worrying News Sheira rushed to Soleah’s chambers with utmost urgency; her face carried a look of worry and fear. Shit. Shit. Shit! There was a good reason for her worry; someone like her seldom worried, yet now she seemed as if she was about to have a mental breakdown. The cause of her worry was a single fact: Azure was missing. She refused to think she was killed or even kidnapped, yet considering how little they knew in the grand scheme of things, she could not set it aside. What’s worse, she worried that Aqua would do something drastic if Azure were killed. She definitely is not dead, otherwise Aqua would have made her presence known. She burst into Soleah’s chambers, ignoring the stunned guard. “Mother!” The queen, who had her face buried in a mountain of paperwork, turned her head toward her daughter, “What’s wrong, Shei?” “Azure is missing! We'd better find her before Aqua decides that it would be a good measure to burn down everything standing in her way toward her.” Soleah’s eyes widened as she snapped an ink pen. “What?!” “I had the same reaction. I searched for her everywhere, but it’s like she fell through the earth.” Soleah bit her lip, “So you are worried not that she is alive, but that your teacher will kill everyone to rescue her?” “Of course, I am not worried about her life, because if she were, we would probably be in fiery ruins right now; however, with the champion missing, there are issues that will arise. Most importantly, the enemies you mentioned a couple of days ago.” “Ah, the council?” Soleah pushed herself up and approached Sheira. “I am sure Lira has something to do with Azure’s disappearance, and I really don’t think you need to be scared of Aqua that much.” “But Mom!” “No buts, I know that she is terrifyingly powerful; however, she does not look like a type to cause needless violence. It would be wise to tell her. Trust me on this, Shei.” Sheira huffed and crossed her arms. “I trust Aqua and you with my own life, I am just worried, that’s all.” Soleah giggled; her daughter had matured so much recently; she went from an immature little girl to a woman who was capable of worrying for greater things than herself, it was incredible and likely another thing she had to thank Aqua for. “Let me give you a lesson, my dear daughter.” She placed her hands on Sheira’s cheeks and squished them. “One does not need to worry about things that are predictable, and trust me, Aqua is very predictable.” Sheira remained silent as she pouted. “Aqua is a very sweet girl. Despite her immense power, she is incredibly humble and is not prone to senseless destruction. I had spent a lot of time around her the past week, and I can see it clearly.” She smiled, “And please, Sheira. Do not be afraid of her.” “I really am not. I love her. Just don’t want her to get mad at someone enough for her to start destroying everything.” “I wholeheartedly doubt that she would lose control, Shei.” Soleah let go of Sheira. Sheira exhaled loudly, “Yeah, yeah, I know. Do you know where she is?” “No, last time I saw her, she was headed to the kitchen.” “Kitchen?” “Yes. I assumed she was hungry.” “Aqua being hungry?” Sheira wanted to burst out laughing. Someone who can create a goddess most certainly did not have a need to consume food, yet it truly humanized her if she did, despite it. Soleah chuckled; her daughter was right in a way, yet Soleah knew that Aqua was not some otherworldly monster. She felt emotion and ate just like everyone else. She was an elf just like her or Sheira. If she were to bet on it, Aqua likely bled red just like them. She was an elf; Powerful beyond compare, but still an elf. “Yes, she is just like us despite her immense power. Please do not be afraid of her; she really needs people to see her for what she really is.” Soleah pulled out her seat and sat down. Sheira rolled her eyes and sighed, “I know, I am not afraid for myself. Aqua is incredibly nice to me.” The princess stared for a moment, “What about Azure?
