THE SUPREMACY

Bath talks

"Nope, nope, nuh-uh...where is it?!!" Valkori complained as she tossed several body scrubbers into the bin at the corner of her room

"I'm very, very!! certain I left it in here" she tossed more objects out of the drawers and groaned in frustration, sliding the drawer back into the cabinet slowly, she walked back and forth on the marble floor, trying to recall where she dropped the special scrubber

Her room was very stylish and elegantly designed, nothing less befitting for the princess of the Supremacy, her bed was massive and the rose-red bedsheet partially made, her wardrobes and cupboards crafted from white and red woods, embellished with golden ornaments and rims.

Her pet pegasus sat at the entrance to the balcony, the winged horse had white angelic fur so pure it looked radiant, it's wings and feathers were the same colour, the horse had a blue crystal on its head right above its dark eyes, it's mane had a more creamy colour and flowed down its neck, it sat still and watched as she messed up her room

"Dahlia..." Valkori called out, it's ears swung up but it didn't move

"I can't find your scrubber so I'm afraid you'd have to use this one" she lifted one of her own older bathing sponges at waved it at Dahlia, it stood up and revealed that it was sitting on the scrubber the whole time

"YOU PIECE OF!!!...AARGHH!!!" she screamed at it, seriously annoyed that it made her turn her room upside down for nothing. Dahlia was unbothered, it shook it's mane and walked into the dark balcony,

Valkori sighed defeated and picked up the scrubber, she arranged the other bottles and grooming tools she needed into a bowl and followed Dahlia into the balcony which opened into a vast underground waterfall cave

Valkori's room was built into an underground cave one hundred feet below Starfall castle, that was just the depth it was built, the actual waterfall was much deeper, so deep that it seemed to empty into a bottomless abyss.

Blue glowing crystals lined the walls of the cave to give illumination as there was no sunlight down here, Valkori's room had regular lights of its own that partially lighted the surreal cave as well, special airways where built into the rocks for ventilation. The room was truly an architectural wonder

Valkori and Dahlia walked down a spiral staircase attached to the balcony that led to a batch of small ponds which she used as bath tubs, she had her bathing wear on; a white cloth tied over her chests and a larger piece of fabric on her hips, her dark skin well exposed and her white stripes which were all over her body appeared blue due to the lighting from the crystals in the cave

She bathed and scrubbed Dahlia's fur and wings, while telling it about her whole day;

"And then I said; 'Its because you don't have a father' and the WHOLE school went up saying 'Woah!!!" she stopped and laughed at her own monologue, Dahlia just sniffed the soap beside her

'...You should have seen the look on her face when I dropped that line Dahlia, she has never looked so horrified in her entire MISERABLE life, I mean she looks horrendous all the time but that!!..." she paused and laughed again "that one was new, must have stung like a scorpion, and she tried swinging at me, ME!!...I would have dropped her flat butt on the floor so hard if Sophia didn't interrupt, she escaped with that one"

Valkori pressed more soap into her palms and thoroughly scrubbed Dahlia's mane from the top of its head to the end of its neck, using her fingers to get the wash deep into the roots, Dahlia shook it's head as some of the shampoo was getting into it's eyes

"Stay still I'm busy!!" she commanded

She scrubbed the mane until she was satisfied and scooped water from the pond Dahlia was sitting in to rinse it off

"The weasel had the guts to challenge me, said she's gonna teach me a lesson in battle camp, skinny bitch!!, Principal Alora never lets me duel with anybody because I'm too strong, she doesn't want anyone to get hurt too bad, and that airhead called Mai thinks my dad gave the instruction so I won't get hurt in training"

Valkori rinsed off Dahlia's mane and began to squeeze the excess water out of it

"She wants a fight, I'll give her a fight, break a few bones and then, that face, that pretty face of hers..." her eyes displayed extreme rage and hatred as she thought of Mai's face "I'm gonna mess up that face so bad she'll never want to show up at school again!!...that's right...that's it!!... that's what I need to do...heh!!...take a few teeth as well...can't hurt that bad...she asked for it after all...yes...that's exactly what I'll do...you're screwed Mai!!..."

She stopped her rant as she noticed Dahlia staring at her like she was some sought of maniac, the cave was quiet, except for the sound of the water rushing down the falls, she sighed and rinsed the rest of Dahlia's body

"Come on" she urged the horse to stand up and got it towelled dry, they both walked out of the pond and up the stairs back into the bedroom

She began putting her room back together, Dahlia helped arrange what it could. She folded some papers back into her drawers, she came across an old but familiar note

"Huh?" she raised an eyebrow and thought, she slowly unfolded it and read it's contents

It was a love letter she wrote for Reece almost a year ago, and she remembered that day, how nervous but excited she was as she hopped through the school on her way to his class, only for her to tuck tail and abort the mission once she saw him talking and laughing with a really pretty girl in his class, it was just too much for her fourteen year old heart to handle

She had a disgusted look as she read the love letter, from beginning to the end, the whole page, she squeezed the paper and threw it into the bin. She looked to her mirror, at her face and body, most people said she was beautiful, and she knew that was true to an extent, but she never really felt like she was, maybe it was because she always compared herself to literal beauty goddesses like Mai and that one girl Reece was talking to that day, that she never saw again by the way

She sat on the chair in front of her mirror and began to think of Reece's promise to her, how he'd get to see her again once she was done with her world tour. She smiled and drew imaginary circles on the table with her fingers, thinking of his beautiful face and blonde hair, and those eyes of his!!, those ocean blue eyes!!!, no, not the ocean, too dark, more like the summer sky!!, that was the perfect description

She twisted her legs and curled her toes as she was getting too excited fantasizing about him, her whole body felt like a pulse was running through-

"GAAHH!!"

She screamed as the bell snapped her out of her wet dream, a letter slid out of a slot in the ceiling and landed on the table she was sitting at, she opened it up to read;

"YOUR FATHER SENDS FOR YOU PRINCESS, MEET HIM AT THE THRONE ROOM"
