Pix froze when Mizi finally shared her secret. His facial expression was blank and even his wings stopped flapping for a few seconds. His body began to fall, but just before he hit the ground his wings kicked back in and he flew like an arrow up at the Princess's face.
"YOURE A PRINCESS!?!" Pix yelled, his little voice not carrying very far as his facial expression exploded with sheer joy. He couldn't control his excitement as his entire body shook, his wings nothing more then a blur as he began to buzz around her head at a breakneck speed. "I can't believe you're a royal! No wonder you're so pretty!" He said as he came to a hard stop in front of her face once more, pixie dust being thrown from his wings with one hard flap that would tickle her nose. "Do you live in the castle!?! How many servants do you have!?! Are you parents really powerful!?! Are they nice!?!"
With her secret revealed, Mizuki waited with bated breath to see how the Pixie would react. The effect was immediate. A shocked expression spread across his features as his wings stilled and he plummeted to the ground. Mizuki reached out to catch him but the action wasn't necessary. Pix recovered on his own, rocketing up to be level with her face. Her eyes grew wide in alarm upon his excited shout. "Quiet, Pix!" She shushed him with a wave of her hand. "It's not safe to say that here." It didn't matter that his voice wouldn't carry far. Mizuki never felt comfortable speaking of her heritage inside of the town.
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she tried to keep track of Pix as he took to zooming around her head. The small amount of pixie dust cast off from his wings causing her nose to tingle and itch. Mizuki held up a hand to quell anymore questions he might have. The hour was growing late and she would certainly be missed from the castle if she didn't return soon. Not to mention that the guards from earlier would be searching the town for them. "I can't answer all of your questions here. Follow me back to my home and I'll answer whatever you'd like. We can also discuss the deal I wish to make with you."
Underwater Breath- Mizuki is capable of breathing within water easily. This ability allows her to remain submerged underwater for extended periods of time, without receiving any ill effects. However, she must eventually come up for air or risk drowning like anyone else. The maximum time she can remain underwater is 2 hours and she cannot utilize this power in tainted, unclean bodies of water.
Yosojutsu: Healing- Her inherent gift with water is strong enough to where she is able to use it the element to heal nearly any injury or malady. Though, depending on the severity of the problem, she can overexert herself and become fatigued to the point of immobility, sometimes even unconsciousness.
Water Cloak- Mizuki can encase her body in a cloak of water. It is undetectable to the naked eye or even to the touch, acting as a second skin of sorts. It is usually only utilized in fights where fire is being used as it provides a greater resilience against the opposing element. Fire can eventually harm her, but it takes an intense amount of heat and time to do so. While the cloak is strong against most elements, it does possess a weakness against sharp weapons and electricity. Things such as blades, arrows, and spears can pierce through the protection of the cloak to inflict harm.
Yosojutsu: Combat- Mizuki is proficient in elemental combat, being able to manipulate water, ice, and occasionally snow to do her bidding on a second's notice. Her proficiency in the elemental style of combat continues to grow with each passing year. However, as with all elements, there are some that can easily overpower her own. Electricity presents the greatest disadvantage to Mizuki in combat. Water being a natural conductor, electricity can pass through it with ease and inflict damage upon anyone or anything that water or its variants come into contact with. She has to be vigilant when fighting Electricity users so as not to sustain injury. Air, although not as difficult to counteract, possesses its own challenge. A user with advanced skills in air manipulation can block, evade, and even incorporate her own element into their attack.
Yami Umi- An enchanted sword that was given to Mizuki as a present from one of her family members. It holds the ability to purify any tainted source of water that it touches. Yami Umi, as the sword was named, can only purify through touch however, and it can only do so once in a day. If it were to be used more than that, then the sword itself could become tainted and expel the polluted water back into the world. Aside from this, the sword acts as a weapon for her use in combat.
Pix was excited beyond belief. First he had met the Princess of the water kingdom and now he was being taken to a castle!! Pix loved castles!!! They were always so big and pretty and ornate and FILLED with gold!! Pix would've been in one right now if they weren't so dang hard to get into! But now a resident of the castle was inviting him in!!! That only happened in the fairy kingdom, and it was normally because he needed to pay the Fairy Queen to let him stay in her realm. But now he was getting to see another castle for free!!
"Ok! Let's go then!" Pix said as he took off around the corner only to come buzzing around it again to land on her shoulder. "You lead the way. I don't know where it is!" He admitted cheerfully, swinging his legs back and forth as the Princess walked.
Mizuki startled. In an instant, Pix agreed to travel with her to the castle before flying off once more around the corner. Just as before, the little one came hurtling back with a large grin upon his features. He was surely an energetic Pixie, to say the least. The princess giggled softly at his antics, still wary of making too much noise. "Very well." She nodded curtly. "Follow me then. Be sure to stick close though as we will have to move rather fast."
Cautiously, Mizuki approached the end of the alleyway, sticking her head out just enough to peer from one side of the street to the other. Citizens wandered about the street though none of them seemed to take notice, or perhaps even care, of the girl and her companion. No soldiers were to be seen either. Right. Here we go. The teenager took off at a quickened pace, her momentum increasing with each step. She allowed her keen sense of direction to guide her throughout the city as she flew around corners at nearly breakneck speeds. The earlier spectacle of ducking and weaving and dodging now resumed until, eventually, the duo found their way out of the town center and off towards the castle.

✸ OOC ✸ Gonna head on over to do my post in the castle section now. ^_^
Pix nodded in agreement, lowering himself onto her shoulder so he could sit comfortably, his legs dangling down slowly kicking back and forth as the Princess took off towards the castle, doing her best to look normal as she picked up speed. And then the castle came into view, and the little Pixie almost fainted on her shoulder, leaning against her neck as he was carried into the castle.
