The Fiery Princess
Chapter 12: The Finest Prize
     Ardara felt her blood go cold. Anything that Soren came up with she knew for a fact was going to be bad for her. Soren fixed his intense green eyes on her.
"Yes" he said
"You Ardara are going to be the grand prize offered at the end of the tournament. The other girls will be prizes for the smaller championships but you Ardara are going to be the grandest prize offered at the end of the tournament to the one knight who wins over everyone else. You may have evaded my plans before but now there is no escape for you. You will end up being taken away by some knight no matter what you do, say, or think. You may go out and claim you are princess Ardara of Celestia but no one will listen. It had been so long since you went....missing that people no longer remember you.  The knights will simply think they are fighting for the prettiest girl in the country. They will never dream that you are Princess Ardara. That is why this plan is so brilliant." Soren laughed as he saw Ardara go pale. Angry as she was Ardara knew that everything Soren had just said was right. She was forgotten to the people. To them Princess Ardara didn't exist. Ardara knew she was doomed to be carried off by some knight. Soren laughed another evil laugh as he said
"You are frightened. I can see in those fiery eyes of yours. I'll also let you know that your father is weakening. It is only a matter of time before he dies and Celestia will go to your little brother. Then I'll easily conquer a country ruled by a three year old and be ruler of Celestia forever!" Ardara felt her stomach lurch. She hadn't thought about her father and brother in a long time. She had wanted to forget that part of her life.
"Guards!" Ardara heard Soren shout
"Take this girl away and dress her in the finest clothes. She is a special girl and should be taken well care of but if she escapes then you don't want to know the consequences!" Two guards came and took Ardara who was still trying to register everything Soren had just said into a huge room and there left her with some women. The women took Ardara and dressed her up in the finest clothes and did her hair up. Along the way Ardara learned that the tournament was going to take place in three days. Ardara felt sick at the thought of it. Ardara felt the part of herself called "Celestyn" slipping away and the part of herself called "Ardara" returning. She knew that she could never go back to being Celestyn.
