"BIBO!" She dropped down to the soft black sheets and crawled up to the where the pillows were. Sneaking under the blanket, she stayed there and began to giggle.

"Bibibibi."

I lowered the level of magic in the room, the flames that kept the area well lit dimmed to a decent level for sleeping. It was already evening, and I didn't mind if we went to bed a little earlier than usual.

Quietly walking to the side where Momo was currently hiding, I slowly held the sheet and suddenly lifted it.

"Boo!"

"Bibibibbi!" Momo giggled and rolled over in the bed.

"I found you." I giggled and crawled onto the free side of the bed. Momo crawled back to the top where the pillows were, waiting for me to get comfortable before she relaxed next to me.

I wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead. "You miss Odion?"

"BiBo." She nodded and snuggled even closer to me.

"Me too," I said. "He'll be back soon."

"Bi," Momo replied. I remained quiet, sensing she was almost asleep. I closed my eyes and let my thoughts drift.

When all this is over, what's going to happen? If I'm a Queen, does that mean I'll have to rule? Am I even ready to do that? Am I too young? I'm not as powerful as the past Queens. At least, I don't believe so… I wish I knew what to do.

I gave up thinking about it and decided to take their advice and rest so that I was ready for the final battle.

I lookedat my little hands and glanced around the mirrored room, noticing my wide green and purple eyes in the multiple reflections surrounding me.

Walking up to one of the mirrors, I stared at the ten-year-old me and smiled. "I'm so pretty!"

I noticed the little crown that was on my head and it only made me happier as I began to dance around. "I'm going to be Queen. I'll help everyone to be happy."

"Will you?"

I stopped mid-dance to stare at the woman. She had pink and purple mismatched eyes and long pink and purple hair that caught my attention.

She had the same swirls on her cheek as me and when I walked closer to her, she had tiny hints of gold in her hair. She was tall, much taller than my 4'1" height or that's what I assumed when I looked in the mirror.

"I will!" I said with a pout but then tilted my head at her.

"Who are you?"

The woman gave me a sad smile and approached me. When she stood in front of me, she knelt to her knees so we could be at the same eye level.

My eyes stared into hers and I smiled. "You look like me!"

"Do I?" the woman whispered and reached out to stroke my head comfortably.

"How did you know I like that? Magnor does that to make me feel better when I'm sad," I explained and smiled at the stranger."I'm technically not supposed to talk to strangers, but Magnor said if they have good energy I can. They won't hurt me."

"He gave you good advice," she said softly. "He's a powerful man. He'll teach you well."

"You know Magnor Rune? He's going to train me!" I stressed.

"Yes, I know him. He trained me once."

"Did he?!" I asked in astonishment and moved closer to her face. "How was it? Hard?"

"A little hard. See, I only trained at night."
