After such a magical night, I wish I could say the dream that night was such, but it wasn't. I woke more shaken about what I dreamed. In this dream, it was the day after the wedding night. After Galen and I ate our breakfast and showered then dressed in the clothes that were left for us to wear, a guard came banging on the door. Galen opened the door to the guard. “You're Majesties we need to take you into hiding now!”Galen asked the guard, “Why? What is happening?” “War is breaking out all over, and people are storming the palace. It is the evil ruler. He is angry and sent a vast number of soldiers to come and kill you both.” At that moment, we heard what sounded like explosions and laser fire.Outside our room were many guards to escort us away to safety.Galen took my hand, and we left with the guards. Galen, I’m sure could feel my handshaking and whispered, “It will be alright, I am with you.” I held onto his hand tighter as we were guided towards outside to the courtyard when a
The next morning, I was surprised not to have had a dream. I wondered if Galen had one or not. I stretched my arms and yawned to wake up. Then I laid back down and began to think of last night and our date. I couldn’t believe what a great time I had. We drove through the country roads in the moonlight and found a quiet place to pull over and park. There was a lake in front of us, and the moon's light reflecting off the water was like a dream.I was so admiring the sight when Galen turned to me taking my hands in his, and before he spoke he was no longer as Porter but my Galen as he said. “I felt when I gave you that ring…” He touched the ring on my left hand and continued, “I had not properly asked you, and it was as Porter and not as myself. So, Rayana Lynnae Karver I love you forever and always will, will you do me the great honor of marrying me and being in my life forever?”I stared at him and all the love I felt for this wonderful man came flooding through me as I said, “Yes, wit
I woke the next day and lay there in bed thinking about what almost happened. I hugged my arms around myself and kept saying to myself. “One month, one month.” Taking a deep breath, I looked over and again there was my morning gift. I picked it up and read the card first.On the Fifth day of Christmas, my true love Gave to Me!A Heart filled with hugs from me to you, GalenI opened the gift and saw a beautiful dark red, warm winter scarf with little silver hearts all over it. Now I get the hugs part; it made me smile. He is just so considerate. I hugged the scarf and rubbed my face on it; it was soft. I love my gifts. Then it dawned on me, what do I do for him for Christmas? What is it he desires, besides me? I need to find out and ask around for suggestions. I want something special for this particular man. Now I have a project of my own to do. I got up and showered and changed into jeans and a red top and put on my gifts and draped my scarf loosely around my neck. I walked out think
The following day, I felt as if I was glowing. The date had been chosen, and the place where, is picked out, now we can plan our ceremony. The council was quite upset about being overridden, but the two Queens and King spoke, and their voice is the law. Galen and I knew we could hold off until that special night. It will be difficult, but at least it is no longer a month away. And as long as we keep this a secret there can be no threat to come. I discussed it with Galen, and he said I could invite one outsider to witness and that is to be Sara. His parents, the Westons my mother, Sara, and the Minister of Cainya will be the only ones to witness the ceremony and Coronation of our crowing as King and Queen of Kaihu. Oh, and there will be a camera all set up to record it all to play later for the worlds.I turned and saw my gift on the nightstand… Just like clockwork. I smiled and picked it up and read the card.On the Sixth Day of Christmas, My True Love gave to Me!Our hearts and Minds
The next morning, I got up and showered and put on my new pull over sweater that Galen got me and put on a little dab of rose oil that came with it in the last gift and put on the jewelry and watch and walked out to greet everyone.I had placed the wedding ring of my dad’s in a safe place. Tomorrow evening is the ceremony, and I was feeling excited and sad. There are still the last-minute things that need to get done. Out in the main room My mom and Kieran were still busy creating decorations and Galen and Bryden were finishing with the arch. There seemed to have been a lot of pieces to put together. I walked into the kitchen and felt eyes on me as I came back with my cup of coffee. I looked over and saw Galen watching me smiling. I mouthed ‘Thank you,’ and he nodded. I settled over near Kieran and my mom and began helping them with the decorations.A half hour later a sound went off in the office and Bryden jumped up with Galen following and both rushed into the office. I never heard
I opened my eyes, and they hurt. My throat still ached. As my eyes slowly focused, I realized I was in my room. I tried to sit up, and my head hurt badly.“Honey?” Galen said next to me. “Here.” he tried to help me sit and give me a drink of water. It hurt too bad going down.“Wha…” I couldn’t speak.“Shush. I will explain.”I put my hand on my head it hurt badly. Galen gently laid me back down and he himself lay on top of the covers next to me.“First off,” He began. “I want to thank you for being able to give us the lead we needed to find you. It was my father’s spy who was able to locate the exact location where they had you. After you got quiet, we knew we had to find you soon. I tried for days to contact you.”I stiffened. ‘Days?’He looked down at me. “Yeah days.”Good, the connection was still open. ‘What happened?’“They gassed the room you were in. It wasn’t to kill you, just to keep you sleeping. Only the amount could have killed you eventually. I was concerned when you woul
Waking up in Galen’s arms the past week has been glorious. We had been burning for each other for so long and our union; well, we can’t seem to get enough of each other. We spent most the time in bed. We also discovered the light appears to get stronger in us with each union. Not only the light But, we are feeling stronger and somehow more powerful. It must be because the darkness is getting stronger, so we seem to be growing strong for that big battleAll we know is that now with the light ignited confronting Lucas is no longer a scary thought. We are aware together according to the prophecy it is us who defeats him. After I met him, I saw the darkness first hand and without Galen, I sensed how powerful he was with his dark heart. At that time, it did frighten me but being with Galen and now feeling the power of the light; we together are more powerful than the dark I felt inside Lucas. Now I finally understand why the people saw us as their hope.I just lay here now holding my husba
We got to the stables having to fight a few more along the way, and Galen hurriedly saddled and ready our tayrens, and we climbed aboard and took to flight.Galen wanted to see from the air what was happening and hoped to find his father on the ground somewhere. The damage is bad in the distance we could see the darkness beginning to poison the lands and begin to spread. This beautiful world is being destroyed.‘I wonder if Valaisha is being poisoned too?’ I thought to Galen.‘That is a strong possibility. The darkness had gained more strength since we were married and away.’I looked at him, ‘Was it wise that we were away that long?’He looked back at me. ‘No, we needed that time to gain our strength for this battle. You have to admit you feel stronger, right?’‘Yes, I do and even stronger by your side.’ I said.‘Then there’s your answer.’I smiled at him as we flew closer to the poisoned darkness.‘Cainya is the first we save.’ Galen said, and I nodded.As we flew closer to the dark
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
