A half-hour later I noticed a small cave among some big boulders. I pointed towards it, and Porter nodded. We got to the cave, and I suggested I should go in first to make sure it was not a den for hibernating bears.“Excuse me why should you be first to enter? What if there were bears in there?” Porter asked frowning.“Because that happens to be another gift of mine. I can just about tame a wild animal. Not once has one ever tried to attack me.” I smiled at him, “Trust me.” I said as I ventured inside and looked around. I poked my head out of the opening. “It’s all clear,” I said, and he began to unload the sleeping bag and quilts as the winds began to blow the snow harder. I began to set things up and spread out the sleeping bag, so we can sit.The cave was big enough for us two and space to build a fire. So, as I was setting up and bringing in the basket of food, Porter went in search of wood, so we could make a fire. I found some good size rocks to make a fire pit as he walked in
I walked out of my room, and mom and Luziann had a hot lunch ready for us. I smiled as I noticed a hot cup of coffee sitting there ready for me.“That all smells great,” I said sitting next to Porter and picked up my mug and took a sip of hot coffee. “Mmm, that is good.”“Thanks, I got it ready for you,” Porter said taking a bite of his lunch.“Thank you.” I smiled then took another sip. Lunch was hot and amazing. Afterward I got up from the table, and I picked up my empty plate and Porter's plate and took it to the kitchen and rinsed them off and placing them in the strainer.Porter came in carrying the mugs, and we rinsed them out together. Going into the main room it was then I noticed everyone was gone. I looked around puzzled when Porter behind me spoke. “It is just us this afternoon.” He looked down at me and smiled. “Your mom and Bryden have an important meeting with the council of both worlds. My father and mother included.” I nodded in understanding, and he continued. “And Lu
A week later, Porter and I had been careful with plenty of guards, visiting his and my world. I have had the opportunity to wear some of my outfits created for me finally. Meeting the people has been a great joy, they have welcomed me into their fold as if I were raised here and not on foreign soil. They kept handing me flowers or small gifts which I graciously accepted and thanked them for.The children were the most eager to please me as their Princess. I have fallen in love with the people and the worlds. I also learned the union ceremony was moved to a year instead of two. The council decided seventeen was too young and voted to wait until my eighteenth birthday for the ceremony.And it was also agreed with heavy guards for protection; I was to become familiar with both worlds and the people, and also for them to get to know their Princess. Seeing Porter and me together is to give them hope in the peace, the council said, and it seems to be working.Porter has also taken the oppor
A few days later after much-needed togetherness with Porter and myself. My mother and Bryden and Porter’s father Derrik called for another important meeting to discuss the current situation and about our safety. This time Luziann went with them.Kieran, Porter and I decided to have a fun day to take our minds off things. Surprisingly it was a sunny, warm day, and almost all the snow had melted off. We decided to start out riding, Porter rode Star and Kieran, and I rode double on Eazy. We went in the opposite direction from the lake this time and an hour later found a beautiful open field when; I couldn't help myself and told Kieran to hold on and kicked Eazy giving her head with the reins, and she took off on a dead run. Porter followed behind on Star.It felt so good and made me laugh when Kieran began laughing and Porter joining us in laughter. We needed this so much with what we been through, and it was such fun, and the meadow was so large. I braked the horse and jumped off as I w
Later back at the cabin we decided to play board games until my mom and the Westons come back. After Porter won for the umpteenth time, he excused himself saying he has things to do in his room. Since Kieran and I are alone, she wanted to show me the pictures she took at the waterfall. They were good, and then she got to one I had not known she had taken.Porter and I on the edge of the river gazing into each other's eyes. Then the next shot was us kissing only it looked like there was a white halo lit around us. Looking at it, it looked to be a camera glare, so I thought nothing of it. But seeing the photos, I looked at her puzzled, “Why, How?”“I was standing at the top of the waterfall looking down and saw you two. I figured you might want these to begin your photo album of your life together.”I flipped through the other photos and saw those were the only two. “Don't worry I looked away after the first photo of you two kissing.”I smiled at her thoughtfulness. “Thank you, Kieran.”
Sitting around Bryden's desk, my mom began the story of the Prophecy.“Over five hundred years ago there was a great prophet known to all three worlds. One night as he slept he had a strong vision of a war between the worlds.The cause of the war started by the greed of an evil dark king, the prophet saw darkness grow inside this king, and the darkness began poisoning the world he ruled. It began to grow dark with evil and poison across the world.The evil king’s strong desire to rule all three worlds and kill the royal families darkened his heart. Sadly, your father was the first.” My mom said sadly looking at me then continued, “The Prophet saw a child being born two years after the evil king began his rule, it was a special boy from one of the Royals.”I looked over at Galen as he held my hand and he glanced at me as my mom continued.“The evil king was wreaking havoc among his people during the first few years of his reign. Close to three years after the boy was born the Prophet s
I finally slept peacefully that night and dreamed of a grand wedding. I was now looking forward to it, as I cannot imagine ever being apart from Galen. He is my entire being, my life, my very existence, and I am his. I was lying in bed thinking of everything and smiled. The very thought of seeing Galen brought tingles through my body. I stretched and sat up when something caught my eye. Sitting on the bedside table was a present. I picked it up and saw the card which read.On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me!Our hearts are entwined forever, GalenI smiled as I opened the present and saw a silver necklace. It was of two hearts with diamonds entwined as one. “Well, it is not a partridge in a pear tree,” I said to myself giggling with joy. I undid the clasp and put the necklace on; then I got up changed and brushed my hair then ran out to find Galen. Seeing him in the living room standing and chatting with my mom, I ran straight into his arms and gave him a big kiss.
I woke after another dream of Galen and me and laid there wondering if he had the same dream. It was after the ceremony, and we were crowned King and Queen of Kaihu. After the festivities and celebrations of our union ceremony, we were shown to this huge beautiful room and several guards standing outside for our protection. The room was white with gold trim and a beautiful white marble fireplace with a golden mantle already lit and cozy looking. There was food and drink for us on a table and a large bed with gold covering. As I looked around I heard Galen's voice, “This is the Ceremonial room. As we are the chosen ones, we must consummate this marriage for our union to be complete, and the power of light to ignite.” He said coming up to me and turning me around and gently began kissing me. “I love you, my sweetness.” “I love you so much,” I whispered as he deepened the kiss, then lifted me and carried me to the bed gently placing me down and began kissing me again and more passionate
Nerin and I looked at each other and we both shared the same expression. “We need to get to the men. But to our bodies first.”I nodded and teleported us back to our bodies. We both opened our eyes and looked at each other. “I don’t feel weak like the last time,” I spoke as we both stood up.“That is because you were drawing power over and beyond your own. You tapped into mine. Alone you were so strong your body couldn’t take it now that it is your power alone without mine, you were able to handle it now. That is why I had to be resurrected so we could each combine our power to win this. All this was our destiny. Prophesy fulfilled. Now let’s get to our men.”I smiled and nodded and took her hands. We got to the medic outpost set up for the injured and found Galen and Xipher on cots next to each other. Bryden was there with his arm in a sling and a few bruises on his face including one black eye. He stood up from the chair he was sitting on when we entered.He looked at Nerin, “Nerin?
Another loud explosion sounded further down from me and I watched as this strong laser-type cannon take out a side of a mountain. My jaw dropped at seeing the power of this cannon. It was now or never because our own people and friends are no match for the laser cannons. I closed my eyes and summoned Rayna.After Nerin explained to me what danger is now about to happen. I open my eyes and looked around and gasped. Tears began to form in my eyes. My beautiful home. It was then several loud explosions sounded around me. These must be the laser cannons. One by one severe damage was being caused by them along with many lives being taken. My heart began to break and the thought.Just then another explosion went off and I noticed Galen fighting near Xipher on his tayren and the laser from the cannon came so close to Galen he fell off his tayren and I screamed his name.Now I was beginning to feel angry. I was about to go further in my light form when the prophet appeared in front of me.“Li
The plan is for our forces from Cainya and Kaihu, to try and drive the enemy to Valaisha where the big battle will take place. We are hoping that we could drive them even further on Valaisha towards the portal to Amadoria in hopes to get my aunt Joanita to join. After all, she has no idea that we are still onto her and she continues to offer her assistance. At least that is the only plan we came up with that possibly could work.Xipher and I and my mom will stay and command the warriors here on Valaisha. Bryden will head to Kaihu and command those warriors with Galen. Galen’s parents will command the warriors on Cainya. I will give Rayna control long enough to teleport to each world with the signal that we will be all in place to execute the plan.So far Staxon seems to be clear of any enemy forces, but that doesn’t mean it would stay that way. So Xipher made sure the warriors there stay and patrol the portal to Amadoria there in case. If they did get through the warriors are to do th
Rayana allowed me back in control and Xipher and my mom planned to meet with Deriya in the morning and set up the meeting place for her warriors to meet us along with the ones from the other worlds.As we climbed up onto the dregons, we were set to leave and group at the meeting spot. As we took to the air, I looked down and saw thousands upon thousands of warriors. All were ready and turned in the direction of the portal we were heading towards.Deriya was sitting upon a huge eagle that is her own personal bodyguard warrior named, Skyior. He is so large in his eagle form she is able to ride upon his back.So, here we are all heading towards the portal with the mighty warriors of Kerron to meet up with the other warriors from Nympha and Aiden on Staxon. We just hope we are in time to save Valaisha and the other two worlds. We have to be on time. Otherwise, the prophecy of Rayna and of my resurrection would have been wrong and I refuse to believe that it is.As we all go through the po
Later we were on our Dregons again only this time with one last mission to fulfill. Reaching out to the lioness Queen, Deriya of the animal world Kerron.As we passed through the portal I noticed the thick humid air and insects as they buzzed around us in the largest of many jungles of Kerron. Our Dregons slowed down due to the thick brush and huge trees. I had complete trust in the dregons as skillful flyers and knew we were safe upon their backs.I looked over at mom and noticed her surveying the world around her with awe. “Is this your first time to Kerron?” I asked being careful enough to not swallow any insects.Mom brushed a few away before she spoke, “It’s my first time visiting any of these worlds. I had not been able to do many diplomatic visits to other worlds as yet.”I nodded and smiled at her then focused on following Xipher. He knew where the jungle palace is located. The closer we were getting to the palace the more I began to notice shadows moving through the branches
After the finished tour with mom and Rayna, Rayna stepped back and let me back in control. The next morning we now stood on the small island along with Aanomi and a few guards. It’s been arranged that the army would meet us back on Valaisha in one week's time.Aanomi hugged us before saying, “I will expect to one day see all of you with Nerin in her own body soon. And we will have a grand celebration waiting for you.”“We will and is honored.” I took her hands as I said, “Thank you, Aanomi for trusting us.”She leaned over and kissed my cheek. “I always trusted you.” She spoke in my ear before backing away and slipping back into the water as her dress became a part of her, as her golden tail and with her guards, disappeared beneath the waves.I sighed, “Well that went well.”“I knew they would help us,” Xipher said as he helped me mount my dregon.I nodded as he then walked over to help my mother mount her dregon. As large as dregons were it was difficult for us women to mount unassis
I could tell my mother was in awe at what she was seeing. After about an hour we finally saw it. Just over the ridge and down in a canyon was a magnificent kingdom it glowed in wonder, and I heard my mother beside me gasp at the sight. It was huge, and we saw many merfolk swimming about and even waving as we passed.It was a wondrous sight to behold. I have been here many times with Xipher in the past yet each time it still takes my breath away. I could only imagine what my mother was thinking. The carriage began to decent and headed towards a clear tube. Right before we entered the seahorses stopped and turned us around. A merman came over and unhooked the creatures from the carriage, and two more mermen came and began to push the carriage back into the clear tube.Once inside the mermen backed out and the opening closed. Then we watched as water began to reside from the tube and soon the tube was free of water. Alyczander was there as the door opened to the carriage and we entered t
As Rayna and I finished our conversation, I stood and walked to the railing looking out at the distant smoke and sounds. ‘Yes, this has to end soon.’ I thought to myself. Taking a deep breath, I walked back into the Palace, and everyone stopped talking as I came through the door.I smiled, “She understands.” I said as I walked over and sat on a chair near the fireplace. Suddenly we heard footsteps hastening our direction, and Galen appeared through the open doorway. Upon seeing me, he rushed over and grabbed me before I could say something then kissed me with passion.When he released me, he stood back as he realized I was not responding and stared at me. “You are not Rayna.” He stated.I shook my head, and Xipher walked over and stood behind Galen. The poor man put his head in one hand, “Oh boy this is confusing.” Then he looked down at me, “I am sorry Nerin. I was under the impression it would be Rayna back now.”“No, you kissed my wife,” Xipher said from behind, and Galen looked ar
The next morning, while at breakfast, a messenger came in with a message for Mom and Bryden. As Bryden read it the color drained from his face. “Hun, what is it?” Mom asked him.He handed the message to my mom, and it was her turn to pale, “Valaisha is under attack. They have the military out fighting but..”“But what, mom?”She looked up at me, “There are too many of them.”I saw tears of concern brimming in her eyes. I got up and went over to hug her.“I can offer my assistance,” Xipher said as he began to signal for Kito.“Sir?” Kito said as he walked over to Xipher.“Rally the men and have the Dregons ready. Valaisha needs our assistance. It seems Amadoria not only attacked here but is attacking there as well. We will be leaving and leading the troops.”Kito bowed, “Yes sir at once.”Xipher looked back at everyone at the table, “We should be ready to leave in an hour.”“Xipher, thank you.” Bryden began to say more when Xipher interrupted him.“We are family now. It is what family d
