Cursed Artifacts

"What do you want to know?"

"Hmm....."

"Come on, just tell me!"

"Hmmmfffffff!!!" was all that escaped from Aether, his words muffled, as he was submerged, floating helplessly in a large sphere of water the Principal had conjured around him.

"If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know what you want?" she asked sweetly, though there was nothing sweet about her actions. She tilted her head as she watched him struggle, amusement dancing in her eyes.

"Hmmmfffofooooooo!" Bubbles rose to the surface as Aether shouted, his protests lost in the water. He thrashed about, unable to do much more than glare at her through the liquid prison.

The Principal smiled with satisfaction, her lips curling upward at the edges. Then, with a casual snap of her fingers, the water evaporated, leaving Aether to fall unceremoniously to the ground, soaking wet and gasping for air.
