Vinelle Skyshade - Vinelle Skyshade was the princess of the Second Kingdom and the welthiest of all princesses in her kingdom. A conscientious individual wwo values her education but can be diffcult to deal with when it comes to money.

Myrinn Lamadieu - Princess of the Third Kingdom, noted for being the most beautiful princess in her kingdom. She hosted daily social events and tea parties in her palace and owns several well-known tea shops.

Fabien Echethier - the princess of the Fourth Kingdom, the princess is well-known in her own kingdom for her talents and extraordinary abilities. She participated in a number of contests in her own kingdom and advanced as one of the Empire of Metanoia's next candidates.

The realm of Verzonia was administered by four goddesses, who gathered a tiny information that only the Goddesses and Gods knew. Only magical nature beings are tolerated and permitted in this realm; there are many Goddesses, but they taken many forms such as ice, flame, nature, air and water.

Only Goddesses have access to mystical gardens, lakes, and forests located outisde of the realm. Due to lack of access, magical nature beings are disallowed.

A young Goddess has stepped into the kingdom of Verzonia, where all Goddesses have gathered, the scent of cherries of the bushes. She's already a Goddess; all she has to do now is figure out where she came from.

Orinthea was her name. Her own magical being is an elf, a common entity in Metanoia's southern region (most elves live in that region)

Goddesses gathered around the flower garden in the Verzonia Realm and performed a spell to open a portal for souls to come, and the young goddess saw how the Goddesses do their work in the middle of the realm's woodland from the corner of her eye.

As she prepared for her speech and information about herself, the young goddess was overjoyed to see it for the first time.

A large number of the magical creatures have gathered to celebrate the youthful goddess, the Goddess of Hope. Her job was to instill souls in non-human beings (newborn infants) and give them a new existence to begin, and she was given a four crystals to present to the four children. Some claim the stones will only glow if they find a new owners, which those four infants are.

The young goddess then enters the ceremony. Many magical nature beings greeted her as she entered the realm; she was handed a contract and a flower crown (a crown that symbolizes nature but also holds a protective object), and the young goddess thanked the ceremony's audience. While the other goddesses prepare a speech to welcome her as the new goddess of their realm.

After the ceremony, the four goddesses began to cast a doorway for the four souls to enter, and the four souls were placed in the bodies of the newborn infants. The goddesses sensed the children's fate and devised a magic to allow the four crystals to enter their bodies and guide them on their journey. The Goddess of Hope then offered them hope for their journey, telling them that after they wered finished, a magical being would be sent to bring these newborn infants to their rightful families, who would care for them.

The Goddess of Hope left a note for each family to look after them, allowing them to make their decisions and guiding them on their way to becoming the Empire of Metanoia's next candidates.

In their Kingdoms, 18 years later.

Caeli is currently self-studying till she reaches the top of the academy. She wishes to have a bright future and to ascend the throne of their kingdom. Her family is attempting to persuade her to become the Empire's next crown princess candidate, despire the fact that Caeli appears to have no desire to do so.

"Why did you ask me to come here, Father?"

The father wanted to reconsider his decision, but because this was the only journey they had planned for his daughter, the Goddess of Hope persuaded him to maker her the candidate.

Caeli stated that she does not want to be the candidate because she believes it will be risky for the kingdom if her sister succeeds the throne.

"Jokes have no place in this discussion, Caeli; it's time for your journey to begin."

Caeli let out a sigh. She truly doesn't want to go on this kind on adventure; all she wanted to do was become the Queen of the First Kingdom. Her fathernever wanted her to leave the kingdom, but this is chance to do so. It's the only chance she has right now.

"What happens if I don't want to become one of the candidates? I'm not the ideal person for the job."

"Caeli, you're reowned as our region's smartest princess, therefore you'll be oee of the good candidates there."

Caeli then finally accepted her fate as one of the Empire's candidates, if only for the sake of her family. She began to gather her belongings and other vital items for her travel. She'll travel there in her family's carrienge. The Empire of Metanoia is conviently located among the four kingdoms, making it ideal for the princesses to congregate there.

"Don't forget to look after yourself, Caeli; we don't want you to get wounded."

Her mother was frightened that her daughter might be wounded on her vonyage, and Caeli knew it would worry her since she had found out she was heading to the Empire. Although she'll encounter a lot of new magical beings there, guards will question your magical being (humans are not permitted inside the empire).

"I'll do as you say; I'll be all right, regardless of what you think."

Caeli said her farewell to her family as well as the kingdom's staff who had helped her since the day she was taken intot the family. She gazes at the vibrant sky, hoping that her journey will be uneventful once she reaches her batch mates. When she was going to enter the empire, she was questioned what her magical being was by the guard.

"May I inquire as to your name and the nature of your magical entity?"

The princess was then questioned by the guard, who later provided him some of her information.

"My name is Caeli Dumaires, and I am the first princess of the first kingdom. Elf is the name of my magical entity."

Caeli distributes the candidate form, which is a piece of paper that all princesses have. The candidate form is something you can use to enter the Empire. The princess was unconcerned with the empire's guard's embarrassment and instructed her guard to continue till they arrived at their destination.

After seeing her face for the first time, she heard a few individuals calling her name. Caeli was well-known throughout the Empire, despite the fact she just recently arrived.

"Look, it's the princess of the first kingdom! Is she a contender for the title of Crown Princess?" When a commoner inquired if she was one of the candidates, the princess shrugged him off and continued to stare at them. Caeli was told she couldn't respond to their queries until the ceremony was over. "Just keep going; we'll get there soon."

Caeli sighed, and they continued on their way until they arrived at their destination. Their destination was the castle, where all of the royals had assembled and where a ceremony was conducted. The princess witnessed a few royals arrive in the castle, and the royals she saw came from several kingdoms.

"Are those princesses, too, Emerson?"

She continued to whisper to her guard, asking a few questions and having her guard answer few of them.

"Certainly, your highness, those princesses, like you, have a high profile, and they may be preparing to run for one of the positions."

"Interesting.. When does the ceremony begin? Many royalties haved already arrived. Emerson, what are they waiting for?" Caeli then turned to face the castle's hall, where she saw four persons standing in front of all of the royalties, all of whom bowed to them. Caeli was perplexed by the situation. "Your highness, you must bow to the majesty of the empire's great empresses."

Both of them bowed to the great monarchs of the empire of Metanoia, and they were shortly commanded to take the first row because Caeli, like the other royalties, is a royalty.

"All who attend this ceremony, especially the princesses in the front row, are warmly welcomed. The ceremony will begin as soon as feasible."

Everyone applauded and then sat and listened to the four great ruler's speeches till they were finished. They ultimately announce the new crown princess candidates of the empire of Metanoia once they are finished.

The first batch of crown princess candidates from a different region. The first great ruler chose the crown princesses candidates for these princesses.

The crown princesses candidates in second batch come from first through fourth kingdoms, and they were chosen at random by the second and third great rulers.

The third batch of crown princesses candidates comes from a different place and is unfamiliar with the empire. The fourth great ruler selected them.

Caeli was introduced tot he four great rulers of the Empire by her guard after they announce the crown princesses candidates; they were thrilled to meet her, as were her batch mates, Vinelle, Myrinn and Fabien.

"My name is Vinelle Skyshade, and my friend's name is Fabien Echetier; it's great to meet you, Caeli."

Myrinn feel left out of the batch as they shake hands, and Caeli notices her feeling ashamed because she hasn't introduced herself to her batch members.

"Is it true that you're Myrinn? I'm glad to meet you as well, and I hope we can collaborate." They all decidedto work together, and Myrinn was delighted to see her and inquire about their plans for the day, given that it was still early in the evening. "Do you have anything planned for today? Otherwise, we'll go to the festival right away!"

They all consented to go, and their personal guards agreed to accompany them outside the castle hall for the event. After the ceremony, the four princesses visited the area where the festival was held, where a large number of royalties stayed for a quality time to enjoy.

"Do you think today is special?"

Fabien was perplexed; they had a strange feeling about themselves, but they decided to ignore it because the festival's enjoyable activties were about to begin.

"Have you wondered?" Fabien said

"What is it, Fabien?" Vinelle said.

"There's story about four goddesses that I read in the kingdom when I was younger; have yall ever heard of it?" They all said no since they were not allowed to listen to the stories that Fabien was listening to. Their kingdoms are diametrically opposed to one another. "No? After that, I'll recite the story to you all."

The guards told them to return to the castle, where they stayed to discuss the myth of four goddesses. They returned to the empire after following their advise.

"Could you perhaps begin to tell us the story? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Vielle waited patiently at the castle's dorminatory for all crown princesses aspirants to sleep there, while Myrinn shrieked. When they eventually entered Caeli's dorm, Fabeen began telling the story of the four goddesses.

Following that, the four princesses had a good time listening to Fabien's storyabout four goddesses. What do you suppose will occur the next day? Or do you want me to tell you about the four goddesses?
