What is Sought
When they arrived at the palace, Queen Victoria and the King of Anatolia waited impatiently at the door, the Queen pacing back and forth.
“Katie!” the Queen cried out when she saw her niece and ran to hug her. “Where have you been? I was starting to get worried when you didn’t come home at sundown!”
“I’m sorry, aunt. I just thought I would stay away from the palace for a while,” Katie said as an excuse. “But I was fine. Alexander found me before it got dark.”
Katie turned to Alexander with an expectant face and Alexander simply nodded in agreement. What she said was technically true, anyway.
“And Alexander,” his father gave him a squeeze on his shoulder. “You could have at least contacted me.”
“I’m sorry, I’ll do that next time.” he replied.
"Please let there be no next time. Spare me."
“Now, you must be exhausted. Go on up to your rooms and rest,” the Queen gently pushed them to the stairs. Alaster excused himself and

“I honestly thought it would be flashier than this,” he said, letting himself into the room. “It has what I need,” Katie replied. “How did you get here?” “Easy. I’m superman.” Katie rolled her eyes. “I’m just going to assume that you used some sort of device…?” “What’s up with you and strange devices? First, it’s the fire…now it’s, what, a jetpack?” Katie sighed, looking more exasperated than earlier that evening. “Did you come here to mock me?” “Actually, no,” Ryle pulled back Katie’s study table chair and sat, crossing his legs like he meant business. “I’m actually here to ask for your help.” Katie tilted her head. What could she possibly do to help these people who apparently have gods for parents? “Why?” “You’re a diviner,” he said with a tone that hinted he may be feeling uncomfortable about it. “And judging by what Marielle said; a damn talented one at that.” -----------------------------------------------
Engaged to the Prince Out for Lunch
Arden begrudgingly discussed the topic that Katie had requested. He would have been happier if she didn’t drag Alexander into the greenhouse when he agreed. Fortunately, Alexander’s attention was entirely on the lesson, the tension from earlier eclipsed by his academic curiosity.“So you mean the royalty of Aelysia had contact with the god of war eons ago?” Alexander asked. “And that’s why the Kingdom of Aelysia is great with war and military strategy?”“Just contact wouldn’t have sufficed, isn’t it? They would have had to earn his favor in order to have his gifts,” Katie replied.On the other hand, Arden thought. Katie looks like she’s having fun for the first time since she arrived in the palace.“Right,” Arden pointed his pen at Katie. “Aelysia back then was… small but it hosted life that was not found anywhere else in the world.
Engaged to the Prince Not a Coincidence
Katie licked her dry lips and took a small sip from her cup of coffee. “So I really saw your past in the fire?” The group nodded in unison, looking rather sullen. Kaine sat beside Katie and continued. “We need your help about this, actually. We need to get her out of the cave.” “I’m sorry, I just don’t know how I enter the picture; I don’t have anything to contribute.” “We honestly don’t know either but… being summoned here and finding a diviner in the same place is not a coincidence,” Marielle said, “Trust me, you’re significant in this. We just honestly don’t know how.” “May I ask, who summoned you here?” Katie asked after a moment of hesitation. “Probably the gods,” Ryle said, exasperated. “They did that before.” “I see,” Katie took another sip of her coffee, thoughtful. “How did you end up in the island with the cave?” “Same answer,” Xena replied. “So can’t we ask them to release Jainella?” The group sighed

After being forced to eat by Arden and Alexander, and after her room was thoroughly checked by her aunt and King Alaster, they allowed her to retire for the night. She was used to how much her aunt fussed over her whenever she got even a little sick but knowing she worried others more gave her a sense of obligation to assure them that nothing was amiss. However… it had been so long since she got sick… so knowing that she was being cared for made her a little happy.She lay on her bed, unable to fall asleep. Perhaps she got enough sleep when she passed out.“psst! Katie!”Katie shot up from her bed when she saw the campers knocking on the door to her veranda.“What are you guys doing here? Someone could see you!” Katie quickly unlocked her veranda doors, allowing the group to spill into her room.“We brought snacks as compensation,” Arianne raised a bag full of junk food and soda.“I don

“We have the glasses,” Katie slightly raised the tray in her hands when they got to her bedroom. “Nice setup you got here.” The pillows were arranged in a circle one the carpet, probably one for each person. The bottles of soda were placed on one side and the snacks were piled beside it. Katie distributed the glasses among them and filled each glass with soda. “You guys, I swear this is not Katie’s first time sneaking! You can barely hear her footsteps!” Arianne praised, resting her hand on Katie’s shoulder. “My parents were strict so I learned to go around them whenever they were sleeping,” Katie replied, but a sheepish expression showed on her face. “Although, I never thought I would feel proud saying that.” “So there is a dark side to Her Highness,” Xena snickered. “I know you nobles have troubles from time to time but… it’s still refreshing to know you have such pasts.” “If we show instability, it could trouble the people.” Tha

Kaine carefully studied the princess’ face for any changes in her expression. He expected her to retaliate a little but she looked like she knew what to do. Katie curled her lips before replying. “I understand if you don’t trust-” “He’s… too quiet…” Kaine wrinkled his nose. “Back at the camp, he probably just stepped on a branch on purpose to make his presence known. I just can’t help but feel like he’s hiding something. Do you really trust him that much?” “I’ve found reason not to trust him completely,” she sighed. “Don’t worry about me. I’ve figured he’s much too hard to read so I knew better.” Kaine bit his lip and nodded. “Alright. Watch your back, Katie, You’ll always have a place in our camp.” Katie smirked. “I’m not sure I want to leave the high life behind just yet,” she shook her head as if she didn’t believe she just uttered such words. “You’re always welcome to come back here.” The demigod bid goodbye and jumped off.

“I heard you’re here!” Alexander muttered once he had entered the library.He approached the familiar wall of books that Katie had set up from a week before. Behind that was a napping Katie, using an open book as her pillow.“Did she not sleep properly last night?” He muttered to himself. He brushed away the hair that had fallen on her face and noticed the dark circles under her eyes.The doors to the library opened once more and Katie shot up on her seat, pretending to read the book she opened. Alexander practically sprang away from her table, startled with how sudden the princess moved.“No use pretending,” Arden told her. “Here, I brought you water.”“Thanks,” Katie grabbed the glass of water but paused to look at it. “Why is there a cam inside?”“A… clam?” Arden and Alexander exchanged glances.After a split second, Katie’s

Katie opened her eyes and saw a bright, warm sea around her. She was breathing, despite being underwater. Below her was a gigantic octopus.She screamed and swam away but the tentacles blocked her path, not letting her escape.Wait! I mean you no harm!Katie’s eyes widened in both horror and astonishment. Did the octopus just… talk?She looked down to meet the octopus’ eyes. The tentacles around her descended save for one that wriggled side to side as if saying hello.Hi! I hope you forgive for almost drowning you, miss.Is this how animals talk to each other?Oh, no. I only communicate like this to my friend. You seem to have the same energy as her, but I don’t recognize you.Should I be concerned?No. I just got a bit excited. It had been forever since I saw her. I really didn’t mean to drown you. Do you h
