Blaze pov.
"The King lived long enough! "I heard, and my blood started boiling. This bastard doesn't know when to stop.
Kids and women were taken to the shelters along with the new Queen Mother Alizeh and Queen Erin.
"Sister! Go with the Queens!" I said to a frightened Enya! "Now!"
She nods and starts to run towards the Queens.
The fight started! Zefir and Farys were fighting together and trying to get to Kai. They were pretty powerful elementals, but there were too many water warriors.
Aaron and Oren back to back, each controlling the earth. They took down all the warriors that got near them.
Blaze povI wake up with a stinging sensation in my chest. As I open my eyes, everything comes back to me. In the fight, Kai is throwing an arrow at my chest, cold and pain enveloping me.Purple light...Evolet! She saved me! I'm alive thanks to her.Since the night I went to her room, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I feel so attracted to her. I feel the need to protect her. But in the end, she is the one saving my life."Blaze? "Enya's voice came. "Oh, Blaze! I've been so worried I'll lose you too! How do you feel?" She asked, wrapping her arms around me, then she pulled away."Not bad! Don't worry, sister, I'm not that easy to kill." I said with a
Kai povI couldn't stop drinking. That girl! Who is she? She looked so much like my Noelani! But how? Why? I need to find out! It seems like having a spy will help me again. I can ask him to look into this for me.Meanwhile, I can plan my next attack."Aalto!""Yes, Your Majesty!""Have you seen the girl that stopped me killing Blaze Cyrus?""Yes, My King?" He said, sounding more like a question."Find out who she is! What she eats, when she sleeps! I want to know everything about her!"
Blaze povI pull on my black jeans and a black shirt. Looking in the small mirror from my dressing, I can see my swallowed red eyes. After I left Evolet 's room last night, I went for a walk to clear my mind. It was midnight when I came back to my room. I was so tired, but even sleep seems to don't like me now.Today the meeting about a possible alliance will be held. A discussion I waited so long for.Tomorrow I'll go back to my Kingdom. Now that both Titus and Enya found their Alters, I need to go and take care of everything for their ceremony. More like Titus and Willow's ceremony as Enya will have hers here. Her being King Farys Alter means she will also be Queen of the Air Kingdom.I get out of the
Aaron povWhen the meeting ended, I went to my room. I needed a cold shower.I know Erin wanted to wait a little longer, but there's no time. Evolet needs to know who she truly is! It is time to tell her the truth. Especially now that Kai has seen her. It won't take him long to figure it out. And she should find out from us.Hopefully, she will understand.After I finished my shower, I went to Oren's room."Oren! Please bring your sister! We need to talk! We will wait for you in our room!" I said to my son.After 20 minutes, they were in my room."It's ev
Unknown pov.I knew the King lost his mind that night, twenty years ago. I heard that story that everyone tells.But how many know the truth about what happened that night? I can tell you that few people know for sure.My mother was one of them.She was the royal healer at that time. And she was close to Queen Noelani.She was a wonderful woman, my mom! This is what everyone tells me. This is what I remember. She died when I was three years old. As for my father...she never talked about him...no one knows who he is.My name is Amaya Blackwood and today is my birthday. I'll be 23 in 6 minutes.
Evolet povI stormed out from my parent's room with Oren on my tail. I still can't believe what they told me.I was a princess! The daughter of Noelani and Kai Zale. The mad king is my father, and everyone thinks I'm dead.Why would my mother want to keep me hidden for twenty years? Was I in danger? Will my father want to kill me when he finds out I'm alive?"Evolet, go find Blaze! I'll prepare the horses! "Oren said with determination in his voice. "And no worry, sister! I'll always be there for you! No matter what happens! I don't care. We don't have the same blood; you'll always be my little sister! I'll die protecting you if it is needed! I love you, Evolet!" He added with teary eyes!
Kai povI was sitting in my office thinking about that girl...She reminded me of Noelani. She looked so fierce and beautiful.I haven't stopped drinking since that day. I was already so hurt but now...now knowing there's a chance to...No! It's not possible! My wife and unborn child are dead.A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts."Come in, I said!""My King! I will bring you the news! A letter from our spy, Sire!" The man says, giving me a letter.My heart starts beating so fast that I thought is going to come out of my chest.
Blaze povThe trip to my Kingdom was pretty quiet.When we arrived all the people from the Fire City were there, waiting for us.They looked relieved when they saw me. And a bit intrigued about the other two persons that I was with."People of the Fire City, please welcome our King!" I hear a familiar voice.Titus was at the palace door, next to a smiling Willow. When she saw Evolet, she left Titus behind and started running to her.Evolet jumped off her horse and waited for her now crying friend, with arms open."Evolet! What are you doing here? I missed you so mu
Evolet povFive years later"Eden! Come here! We need to get ready now! Your father is waiting for us! We don't want to keep him waiting for too long now, do we?""No, mommy! Daddy will be sad.""Yes, he will be sad. So let's get dressed!"I start brushing her black curly hair. She looked so much like her father. Black hair, tan skin, only her eyes are silver-like mine. Sometimes I can see the purple in them. I know she can control all the elements, even the Aether. She will be more powerful than all of us. But this is what scares me. Many will try to hurt her.Her sweet voice bro
Blaze povHe's dead! Finally, the war is over!I run towards my Alter, holding my wound."Evolet!" I yelled, kneeling next to her. But before I could reach her, she passed out."Help her, someone! Please!"I look around at the sea of people. Her family was crying. Oren was still shocked by what had happened earlier. I'm not sure what that was. But I swear I have seen Amaya turning into a giant black wolf. I heard stories about people who had this ability. But it was only stories.All the water elementals were on their knees, waiting for their fate to be decided.
Amaya pov When I took Evolet's hand, I instantly connected to her power. It was more substantial than before. I knew immediately this was the Aether. "Let's play, then!" That was all I could say. She nodded her head. "Don't try to save me, Amaya! I promise I'll do my best! But if my death is truly the only option to end this, I won't hesitate. Tell my family I love them! And please, look after Blaze!" She gave me a small smile, and I left the already damaged barrier between Aalto and us down, only to create another one that separated the three of us from the others. Everyone was looking at us, not fighti
Evolet pov"Blaze!" I yelled, running towards him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him, forgetting about our surroundings for a moment."Little flower! You're ok! Thank Goodness! Did he touch you? Did he hurt you?" The anger in his voice would make everyone cringe, but not me.I kissed him again. "No! He did not!""Evolet, watch out!" Amaya yelled. But before I could turn around, Blaze switched our places.He was looking me in the eyes! His lips are lifting in a sad smile."I'm sorry, my little flower! I couldn't keep my promise! I love you! I will always love you!"
Blaze pov.We were near the palace gates. I lift my hand for everyone to stop so that I can take in our surroundings. "Wait! We need to take down those five warriors! Quietly!""I'm on it! They won't expect to see me! Everyone thinks that their prince is dead! I can create a distraction long enough for you to go unnoticed.""That's a good idea, Kano!"He then heads to the gates. I could see the surprised warriors trying to figure out how it is possible for their prince to be alive.I get close to them. Careful not to make any sound. I snap the neck of the first warrior, then punch another in the chin, sending him on the floor, unconscious. Kano froze tw
Blaze povI remember Evolet saying she's going to change. But it's been more than an hour, and I can't see her anywhere."Willow? Have you seen Evolet anywhere?""Mmm...no! The last time I saw her, she was going to her room. Is everything alright?" She asked, worried."Yes, no worries! Maybe she's asleep. She didn't sleep well last night." I said, hoping she was in bed.I made my way to our room, but it was empty."Where is she?" I asked no one in particular."Blaze! Blaze!" I turn around to see Kano.&n
Evolet povWe've been riding for six hours through the forest. Fortunately, no one noticed us at the border. Blaze should have figured it out long ago that I'm missing. I know he'll try to find me. I hope there will be enough time to kill Aalto before Blaze finds me.My heart was aching, being so far away from him. But this was the only way. The only chance I've got to stop this war without losing the one I love most."We should stop and rest for a while. There's a river nearby. We can stop there and let the horses drink some water." Amaya said, slowing down.
Evolet pov.Today is Willow's ceremony! The day she will become a Fire elemental. And that day I'll go to the Water Kingdom."Evolet? Do you hear me?" I looked at Willow, who was shaking my shoulders. I must have been too focused on my thoughts that I hadn't seen or heard her."Mmm...yeah! I'm sorry! I was thinking about today! It's a big day. I am trying to hide the worry from my heart. I want to say I'm afraid. I'm terrified about confronting Aalto on my own. Amaya will be with me, of course, but even if she trained so much, we both know she's not a fighter."Yes, it is! But honestly, I can't wait for it to finish. I'm already so tired!"
Blaze pov(Warning: mature content!)I stayed in my office till around midnight. I put the dagger into a locked box under my desk. And I finally decided to go to bed.The truth is I missed Evolet so much.I get to my room, opening the door slowly, thinking that maybe she's sleeping. But to my surprise, she was sitting by the window, looking at the starry sky. She wore a knee-length nightdress. It looks so good on her."Blaze!" She said when she noticed meShe came running and jumped into my arms!"I missed you so much, Blaze! I'm so sorry! I couldn't react any di
