Alice sat in Alisters lap, Stella and Smudge sitting on the opposite side of him, the four kids reading a book together. "This is where you kids were"Isis smiled coming in. "Daddy!"Alice beamed. He picked her and Stella up, holding them in his arms. "Happy birthday Stella"Isis smiled pressing a kiss to her cheek. "Thanks Papa"Stella smiled. He set them down, Stella's assigned Nanny coming in, shooing them all out so she could get the birthday girl ready for her big day. "Today is gonna be the best day ever for Stella!"Alice beamed. "Yeah, everyone excited!"Isis smiled. "YEAH!" He laughed, a wide smile on his face, lifting his hands into the air with his kids.

Stella came out, a shy smile on her face. "You look gorgeous"Isis smiled, picking her up. Stella stared at them, then looked down still shy. He chuckled and set her down. "You all better get dressed as well"Isis smiled. Alister nodded and walked away, Rosy beckoning Alice away. Smudge lifted his arms up, his nanny picking him up and carrying him down the hallway. "Papa...."Stella says. "Yeah"Isis says concerned, kneeling down in front of her. "....How come you keep me around still...I haven't really made a move to become closer to you or my grandparents or my aunt..."Stella questioned quietly. "Hey...you're my daughter now...and I love you as much as I love Alice...don't judge yourself, you need time"Isis smiled.

"Don't force yourself to become comfortable...just be yourself"Isis went on. He patted her head, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Stella hugged him, earning a pat to the back. "Lets enjoy your birthday, don't worry about anything"Isis smiled. He held his hand out, Stella taking it. He walked beside her, Alice and the others waiting for them. "Daddy!"Alice smiled. He picked Alice up, holding her in his arms. "Lets go kids, we can't have the birthday girl be late"Isis smiled. He walked in the lead of his kids, Stella smiling nervously. He set Alice down when they reached the ballroom, and held his hand out to Stella, smiling when she grabbed it.

He walked out, all eyes going to him and his kids, Elris waiting for them by the door. "No way"Isis frowned picking Stella up. "She's my granddaughter"Elris smiled. "She's my daughter"Isis retorted Elris's smile twitching a little. Isis sighed and handed Stella over, Elris chuckling. "Thank you my boy"Elris smiled looking proud. "This family just screams perfection, even though those kids with Alice are adopted they look as if they're Prince's real kids"A noblewoman muttered. "The oldest is really handsome." "Princess Alice is still the heir to the throne after Prince Isis becomes Emperor." "Princess Stella and Princess Alice are absolutely adorable."

Isis walked the red carpet with his children, Elris holding Stella in his arms with a soft smile. He sat down on the throne, Stella sitting in his lap as the gifts were presented to her. Alice, Smudge and Alister stood by the throne, smiles on their faces, causing nobles to nearly faint from how perfect they looked. Alice felt someone grab her, teleporting her out of the room. A hand grabbed her face, Azrak whirling her around to face him. "You're quite interesting...a child made from magic, this is amusing"Azrak smirked his eyes glinting. "I can see why Isis wants me nowhere near you, the magic that created you is strong, so very strong that it became your magic to use at will"Azrak smirked.

"You had so much that a twin was magicked during your birthing, but a maid hid her away, that's hilarious!"Azrak laughed grinning at a scared Alice. "Let me go..."Alice commanded. "Don't worry I won't hurt you....I'd never hurt such a beautiful girl"Azrak smirked. Her eyes widened and she slapped him, forcing him to release her. Azrak stumbled back, a hand touching the cheek to slapped stunned. "You had some guts to hit me girl.."Azrak says. He shifted, turning into a tall adult male, a black gem in the middle of his forehead. He grabbed her, lifting her up. "I could squash you like a bug if I wanted, but Isis would find out pretty quick who did it since I'd be suspect number one"Azrak grinned.

He set Stella down, and snapped his fingers together, a white baby phoenix appearing. "Here...take this thing, it'll be easier to watch and communicate with you using this so I don't gotta kidnap you"Azrak smiled. He snapped his fingers together, Alice reappearing in the throne room, her eyes widening in alarm. "Alice, there you are, you really did go and get a pet"Alister smiled. "What..."Alice stared. "You said you were gonna go grab a pet from one of the magician guards"Smudge says. "It's cute"Stella smiled holding a cup of apple juice. "Oh...yeah..."Alice nodded creeped out by what Azrak had done and what he had said.

She had no twin, she was birthed an only child that's what Rosy had told her and father hadn't mentioned another child. She stopped, her eyes widening a little wondering if this twin of hers Azrak mentioned would become the heir to the throne instead of her. She frowned, and sighed. "Will I no longer be important to daddy..."Alice wondered. "Alice?" Isis stared at her, his eyes widening at the sight of the baby Phoenix. His eyes turned red then back to green, causing him to frown. "I told Azrak to not come near you"Isis sighed. Alice stared at her father, feeling frozen in place wondering how he guessed so easily and what was his flickering eyes all about. "Daddy...what's the matter with your eyes..."
