Chapter 107: Day 1 (1):

On the way towards the cathedral, we went through the split crowds that were staring curiously at me. The knights had already split the road into two so that no one would get hurt by the carriage. 

Christopher removed the blind from the window and waved at the people. I instantly copied him like the way Ms Mackay taught me. "Looks like you really did learn some stuff," laughed Christopher as I chuckled. "Two months of hell. It would be strange if I didn't know anything," I retorted. As we continued waving, light conversations filled the carriage. 

Not long later, the carriage stopped right in front of the cathedral. Christopher stepped out of the cathedral and held his hand out to me. I took his hand and stepped out of the carriage. "Thanks," I mumbled. Whilst walking over to the front of the cathedral. 

At this moment a little girl ran towards me and bumped into me. I crouched down and moved her backwards a bit. "Little girl, are you ok?" I asked as she nodded whilst handing me a bouquet of flowers she had in her hand. "Thank you," I smiled whilst plucking a flower and placing it in her hair.

"Lily, Lily," shouted a woman, "I'm so sorry, Princess," she acknowledged as I waved my hand in dismissal. "It's alright," I mumbled handing the flowers to one of my maids. "Your daughter is very cute," I complimented whilst heading inside the cathedral. "Thank you Princess," I could hear her shout as I walked in.

As soon as I entered the cathedral the orchestra began to play some classical music. Christopher walked over to where our parents were sitting. They all smiled at me as I turned to look at the High Priest standing at the altar. I was meant to walk up there alone and be blessed by the holy water. 

I slowly walked up the stairs with one hand holding the hem of my skirt. The High Priest (in whose name I forgot) smiled at me and began his speech. "Brothers and sisters we are gathereed here under the eyes of both Godess Skylar and Godess Scarlett to witness the welcoming back of their descendants. Today marks the offical day where Her Highness Princess Camilla Rose Avery returns to her kingdom as the Princess," he announced adn contiuned to ramble on. 

I have went through this proceedure twice this week as a run through so I knew very clearly how long his speech was. But the only thing I could do was wait for him to finish. About 5 minutes later he finished his speech and beckoned for me to stand outisde the pool containing holy water.

Yes it was a pool containing it. There was quite a lot of holy water. History has it that this water came from the Goddess Skylar's tears when the man she loved died to stop her and her sister from fighting. It was quite an amazing mythical story but now that it's apprently mine, I have no idea how to feel. 

"Now let us acknowledge the Princess being cleansed from evil using the holy water," he announced as I stepped inside the pool. The pool was quite small. It had an area of about 60 metres. The water seemed to be glowing, it seemed to be inviting me in.

However, as soon as I stepped inside the water a weird moment happened. A bright light flashed in front of me and the water seemed to be engulfing me. I closed my eyes in surprise. But I was still able to breathe normally. I had kind of guessed something would go wrong however, I never thought it would be at this moment.

And of course, nothing goes to plan. I don't understand why this was happening. Before when rehearsing. I have touched the water in the pool before. Nothing happened there. So why was something happening now? 

A figure seemed to be swimming towards me. As it grew closer I noticed it wasn't a person but an animal. To be precise it was a water horse. It looked like a horse that was walking in water or inside water. It was quite a weird moment.

This moment, has reminded me of a movie I had watched before. Where there was a water horse there as well. This water horse seemed to be transparent. It had black eyes and quite a long mane.
