The Chosen One
Where it All Began
Mia has been living in her small house in the woods since she was born
After her mother died when she was 14, she started living on her own there because her Mother’s dying wish was that
Because of this she is tough and strong but doesn’t know how to speak to a large number of people
Mia
*Ah..the wood chopping tires me every single time*
Mia
*I’ll go back to the house and take a break*
She goes back there to find a envelop lying
Mia
A letter? Why would I get one?
Mia
It must be a mistake but no one lives around me anyways
Mia
I’m too tired to read it, I’ll read it in the morning
Saying that she goes to sleep in her rock hard bed and still manages to sleep like a log (pun intended;)
Mia
Wait are there horses here
Mia
Why is everyone so odd since yesterday
She goes out to see where the noise come from
Mia
Who are you! Why are you here with a Chariot !!!!
Royal Charioteer
*Is this the Chosen One? I didn’t expect her to be living and looking like this!*
Mia
Hello sir!? I am speaking to you!
Mia
Answer me or you will walk out with a broken leg
Royal Charioteer
Your Highness I sincerely apologise! I am here to pick you up for the Royal Palace
Mia
The Royal Palace? Are you mad? I have almost never stepped out of the woods. Why would I have business with the Royal while I don’t even speak to other people
Royal Charioteer
Your Highness, you were notified prior my arrival. Please don’t accuse me
Then she remembers the envelope
She goes back in to her house to look at what was inside the envelope
The invitation reads “ Miss Mia Yoko, you are cordially invited to the Royal Palace to join its residents over a supper on the 15th of the current month. The Palace’s finest services will escort you from your residence in the morning.
Mia
What!? Is this a joke or something? This does not make any sense. Why am I invited and what do I do to have a chariot escorting me?
Royal Charioteer
Your Royal Highness, let us leave at once. We are getting behind the time
Mia
Stop callimg me ‘your Highness’!!
Mia
And I am not leaving this place
Royal Charioteer
I am afraid this is a direct order from the King himself some have to go
Mia
Well, technically this place is a free land as no king as attempted to succeed in acquiring it
Royal Charioteer
The thing is, it has been and it was done by our beloved Prince Sidon
Mia
Still, I am not coming
Royal Charioteer
* okay looks like I have to do it*
Royal Charioteer
You see the necklace that you are wearing, look at the picture of the Royals at the back of the invitation. You can see them wearing it
Royal Charioteer
If you want to know what that means, get in
She was shocked. After her mother died, she took the necklace that she was wearing.
Mia
*how come they all are wearing this!! I suppose I should go and find out*
She couldn’t believe that she just decided to stepping out of the woods just for a necklace but deep down something told her to go for it
Royal Charioteer
Are you ready now?
Mia
Wait for a minute, I need to take my medicines and come
She has eaten this mixture of herb ever since she was born because she was suffering from an illness where if she stops eating this it would be fatal
She closes the door and climbs in the chariot as it takes off soon after

Hey guys! Please post any suggestions and your thoughts in the comments and like it if you can!
The Royal Castle
But once they were out of the forest, she couldn’t keep her eyes off the little towns and villages they passed
They went on for what seemed like hours and the only entertainment that she had was the book she grabbed at the last minute
And the villagers seem to also wonder who would be inside
Mia
How long would it take ?
They reach the Royal Palace and Mia almost stopped breathing
She has never seen something so big let alone so beautiful
They came out of the chariot and started walking towards the side enterance
Mia
Why are we going through the side enterance?
Mia
The Main Gate looks really beautiful and I want to see more of it
Royal Charioteer
Your Highne..
Mia
Don’t say that! First of all why are you even calling me that? Do you Royals all call each other The Highness or something ?
Royal Charioteer
Yeah *okay damn she’s getting suspicious*
They reach the the gate the there stood a guard
Mia
Please, I am tired of it. I know it’s your tradition but please call me Mia
The guard blankly stares at the charioteer, and the charioteer just sighed
Royal Guard
Okay Mia, let’s go in.
They went in and the palace was jaw-dropping inside too
She doubted if her eyes can handle all this beauty at once
But a thought still bugged her. Why was she invited? What does the necklace even mean? Can there be danger?
Mia
Where are we going right now?
Royal Guard
I will be taking you to a room where there are servants who will prepare you for you supper with the residents of the Royal Palace
Mia
Oh, can you tell me who will be present?
He hesitated at first but..
Royal Guard
The Mighty King Bhosper, his wife Queen Atlanta and their two sons, The Almighty Prince Sidon and his brother Prince Casper
Mia
Oh why do you call your Prince Almighty and your King Mighty?
Mia
What did Prince Sidon do to be called that?
Royal Guard
I’m afraid that I am not in the position to say that. Perhaps you can ask it yourself to the Royals over the supper
Mia
No it’s fine, I’ll keep it to myself
With that they reached the room and there were servants coming in and out of that room
He calls one of the maids to take her from here
Royal Guard
My duty ends here
But before she could turn and ask him a question, he vanished
She quickly got nervous when she saw a large number of people
She didn’t want to ask them not to call her the Highness as she was too nervous to ask them
Maid
Highness, please come in.
She steps in ands her jaw dropped again
The room was as majestic as the castle
This was the first room that she has entered
Maid
Highness, would you like your water hot or cold?
She spoke no more and went inside the bathroom
The bathroom itself was also big and nice
She tip toed nervously and took a bath as soon as possible as she was becoming more nervous
But it was the best one that she has so she half heartedly did that
Maid
Please select a dress for the supper from this closet
She was awestruck on the number of dresses present and how beautiful each were
But she never liked dresses, especially those pretty ones
But again, she was too nervous to ask otherwise
She chose the least fluffy one and wore it
Her hair was combed neatly and she was taken out of the room
They said as they closed the door
Now she was all alone without knowing where she has to go
She walks a few steps with her heart in her hand
Then she leapt as she saw a familiar face
Mia
Hey! I am left all alone here and I don’t know where to go
But after saying that, she saw something different in him
He wasn’t wearing a uniform like the guards, rather a lavish outfit with gold doublers
She didn’t realise how long she was staring until he started speaking
Prince Casper
I am engaged and way younger than I look
Mia
I..never said anything
Prince Casper
Your eyes spoke enough
Prince Casper
Now let me take you to the dining hall for the supper
Mia
But..you are a charioteer right? Why are you dressed like this and sitting here
Prince Casper
I am Prince Casper, son of the King Bhosper and younger to the almighty idiot of a brother
She couldn’t help but chuckle
Prince Casper
But I doubt you’ll hate him, everyone loves him
Prince Casper
Anyways, let’s go for the supper
Before she could ask more questions on his appearance as a charioteer earlier, he started walking and she barely caught up with him
They walk past endless columns and rooms but at last arrived at the dining hall
It was the most beautiful room she has seen so far
Not that she has been to many room anyways
She was asked to sit down and Casper sat next to her
She couldn’t help but wish he was not engaged at times
She brushed off the thought as he started speaking
Prince Casper
My parents would come soon and it looks like you have some burning questions. Ask them away
Mia
I do but the one which is leaving me confused is why were you my charioteer?
Prince Casper
Interesting..I hoped you would ask it sooner anyways
Author
That marks the end of this episode and please read the next one to find out what Casper has to say!
The Supper - 1
Prince Casper
So, I can’t tell you all the details now, we need to wait for my parents. But I can tell you this.
Prince Casper
The situation from where I got you from needed special attention
Mia
You mean the woods where I lived all my life and was fine
Prince Casper
How about I answer your other questions, you will get the answer for this question as we speak to my parents
Mia
Okay, why are you guys wearing the necklace which I am wearing?
Prince Casper
You mean what your mother was wearing right?
Prince Casper
Well, not only do I know that, I know your mother personally and so does my family
Prince Casper
You know what, let me not beat around the bush, you have special powers..
Mia
What! This is a joke right? Magic doesn’t exist. Or am I being scammed? I will break you jaw if you don’t answer!
Prince Casper
*chuckles* firstly, you wouldn’t be able to even touch me if I wanted you not to
Prince Casper
Secondly, if you think what I said were false, explain why your hand sparks every now and then
Strangely, these words didn’t seem to intimidate her. She seems to like him even more.
Because she can see herself sounding like him
Maybe he attraction she felt towards him wasn’t in a romantic way at al, rather a start of a great friendship
Something she longed to have
Mia
I..I don’t know what to say
Prince Casper
Okay... I am sorry if I intimidated you
Prince Casper
But please listen to me
Prince Casper
See, the medicine that you eat, it doesn’t cure your illness or anything, you don’t have any illness in the first place.
Prince Casper
It suppressed the power that you have for it to be tamed and trained and that is what is going to happen
Mia
I..I can’t believe all this, I’ve always wondered of that sparks that I see. I asked mother and she gave me more of the herb mixture everyday but it didn’t seem to go away
Mia
And my mother asked me not to ask anything about this to her any further
Mia
I’ll take time to process this...
Prince Casper
Well, we don’t have all the time in the world for this so I expect that to happen soon
Mia
Now, does the necklace indicate that my mother was a Royal?
Prince Casper
No, your Mother was a caregiver for The Chosen
Prince Casper
She isn’t your real mother, in fact , you don’t have a mother or a father.
Prince Casper
You were incarnated. Every generation, a baby can be found floating who possesses powers and it happened to be you
Prince Casper
Your Mother was given in charge of protecting you from creatures and evils who try to take you in their custody
Prince Casper
I think that is enough
Mia starts to sob slowly and quietly
Prince Casper
Hey, are you fine?
Mia
Yeah, it’s just a lot to take in, and I’m just wondering if my mother ever loved me or just took care of me for the sake of it
Prince Casper
The problem was that she loved you so much that she was too emotionally attached to you
Prince Casper
That’s why she asked you not to go out of the house as her death wish
Prince Casper
She didn’t want you to get hurt
Mia
Oh... that made me feel a little better
Prince Casper
It’s fine *smiles*
King Bhosper
Looks like you have made yourself comfortable dear
King Bhosper
I hope you are liking it here
The King and the queen enter the dining hall
Mia
Hello...I.. should I bow to you or anything..?
King Bhosper
Not necessary dear
Queen Atlanta
Please sit down
King Bhosper
My son, wanted to notify us that he is sorry for not joining us for supper. I hope you don’t take any offence in his late notification
Mia
Oh..no it’s fine.. none taken
Prince Casper
*in a low voice* so sad, he’s not with any women by the way
Mia kicks his foot and says..
Mia
*chuckles**in a low voice* someone said something about me not being able to touch them
They are sat down and started to have their appetiser
Mia
The food is really good! Thank you!
She has never eaten any food as delicious as this
Queen Atlanta
This is just the appetiser dear, I’m sure you’ll love the main course as much
As they were about to start a conversation, Mia suddenly yelps
She turns to see who touched her on the shoulder
