“You can’t be serious, Father!” “You are the second born, Celeste.” He slammed his thick fist on the as his voice boomed throughout the room. “Its your duty to marry into another kingdom. You know that.” I shook my head and gathered the ends of my dress as I spun away from him and stomped toward the door. “You can’t force me to do this!” “I am your father and your king. You will obey me.” I could hear the smirk behind those words; he knew I had no more to say on the matter. My eyes narrowed into slits, and I turned and walked back towards him, standing tall. “I might not have a say in your regard, but I am in the right to decide on who and who I will not love in my own heart.” He scoffed. “You don’t even know what love is, girl.” I quickly halted mere inches from him. “-And whose fault would that be?” I spat back, venom lacing every truthful word. Determined to

She placed a hand on my shoulder as I looked down sniffling. “It can be quite terrifying to marry someone, especially in your case. Regardless, I'll be by your side when and if you need me.” I sat sniffling as she rubbed my back. “What if the rumours are true? What if he really is dangerous?” She stopped rubbing, being silent made it clear that she was deep in thought. “Well, you have one thing he doesn’t have that you can protect yourself with.” “What would that be?” I turned my head to peer at her as she stood; still with the brush in her hand. “You have magic; something no one else seems to have across the countries, your powerful princess, why not just put a little fear in him?” Aris’s tone comes out mischievous and I finish sniffling. “Do you think that would work? Putting fear in him I mean.” I asked as I pulled my knees up onto the chair to my chest. Ari

“Being his wife or not you still get recognition status, so that’s all that really matters. You should be thankful its royalty at all especially when your a witch like your mother was.” Ella says lathering my hair. My hands turn into fist’s of anger, clenching my teeth together, that she even has the audacity to bring up my mother in this conversation. “Ella, I can handle everything here on my own. Why don’t you go and make sure everything is ready for departure?” Aris asked, clearing her throat, standing up to take over her spot behind me. “We are supposed to do this together.-” Aris cut Ella off. “I’m fine here on my own Ella, you may leave.” That’s when she stood up and rinsed her hands off one last time before she answered. “As you wish.” She walked out without any other word slamming the door behind her. “Thank you, I’m not sure how much longer I could have lasted with her without losing it." I admit feeling an overwhelmed amount of

The town's people began to move back towards the castle, jittery and freighted. I closed my hands into fists as the flame grows larger, the power strong enough to arch my back, my feet just barely on the ground, hovering. "I'll show you who you really should be afraid of!" I yelled over the screaming crowd All I could see was fire and flames behind my now closed eyes, I opened them watching fire rain out of the sky. To me it was beautiful, the color of flickering blue and orange falling over the kingdom. Everyone inside ran outside following Mave and our father sputtered after him. Mave ran up to me grabbing me forcefully by my shoulders shaking me. "Celeste, stop this!" I shook my head with a maniacal smile plastered onto my face laughing as I watched everything burn. "Go ahead brother, show them."

"Going back to the matter at hand, how are we getting to Alastia? At this point the prince will lose his head!" Isla yells, changing the conversation back to our situation. "I have a way to get you all there…" Barinor says, taking a glance at his frightful creature. "You want the Princess to ride that, that thing?" Isla spat struggling to find a word for the dragon. In all honesty, I was quite curious about the creature, it's claws and eyes a tone of yellow, as it's scales from to bottom turned a dark green to a light blue of it's scales. The uncertainty of the creature also made me nervous. What if it swoops down like it did when she scared off the horses to someone else and they aren't as lucky as we were? "I don't see why not, her mother used to do it all the time. In fact Glyder isn't my dragon, it was Falynn's." We watched Glydor anxiously walk around in circles, making me wonder if the creature could actually understand our langu

"It is what I have said." I confirmed, with a prominent smile, he decided to stay, and I can see the flames of determination in his eyes. "Where will he stay, a house in the city?" Senya seemed baffled at the sudden declaration. "He can't, and who would this be?" He gestured toward Isla who stepped forward. "I am told to stay as well." She curtsied to the prince. "This wasn't our agreement." He mutters in my ear, his hand still on my back. "Actually your Highness we never had an agreement, that was with my father not with me." I gathered the ends of my dress. "You can't be serious, what is he going to do, tame the dragon's that live here, there isn't any," he rambles on. "Actually, I'm a doctor as well, I can keep the two of you healthy." Barinor cut in. "There see, everything works out." I turned to face him directly and patted out the wrinkles in his white and rose gold tailcoat. "-But," I cut him off and turn

"What are you babbling about, I'm right here, how else would anyone have known about the ambush?" I ran and gave him a big hug. "I'm just so happy that your safe." He pats me on the shoulder. "Do you know who did it?" Senya asked with his arms across his chest. Barinor shook his head. "By the time I got there they were all dead, however I was able to bring your stuff back, however it needs some cleaning up." He says looking down at me now. "Cleaning, why?" I asked without understanding. "Prince Senya, have you ever been to a fight?" Barinor asked, ignoring my question. I let him go and looked at my fiance. "Yes, it's a horrible sight." "Then I'll let the explanation be up to you, I must go find a place for Glydor before too many people ask questions." He says getting ready to leave. "There is a nice cave nearby, it's pretty far into Bazalous Forrest, but there are beautiful gems and stones. I don't know the best h

I smiled and took his hands in mine. "I'd absolutely love that, can I count on you?" He rubs my hands gently with his and nods, he seems like such a sweet old man. "I'll be back princess, I must get the step ladder." He let go of my hands. "Do you not have any help?" I asked as he was about to carry on with his duties. "Oh no miss, you see my wife couldn't bear us children so it's just her and I, but she is not doing well you see she's sick so it's up to me," he says as his smile fades. "This is unacceptable, I must get you some help." My heart hurt at his words of a man with such a kind heart to care for his wife so deeply. "That's not necessary, I promise princess I can do this," he pleads as if I were to replace him. "Don't mistake me, I'm not replacing you, I'm getting you some help, someone you can train, it must be lonely for her all by your lonesome." He looked at me with a small huff, and nodded. "I

“Are you sure that’s wise?” Aris asked standing in the doorway with her arms crossed leaning against the door frame. “No, but what choice do I have? Pregnant or not I am still queen I must protect my people… and my husband, I have to train, I have to bring my mother back.” I say swallowing the bile that threatened up my throat. “What good will it do to bring her back, she lost her mind Celeste, and it seems you are close to doing the same,” Aris replies, she seems more harsh than usual. I slowly stood up, out of the way of the mess on the floor, my dress lopped over my shoulders. “I will not sit here and watch my kingdom fall to ruin, and my father will fall to his knees before me and shed blood like the people he slayed,” I spoke with venom. “You’re being reckless, you must think clearly about this.” Her voice became uncertain and full of worry. “The training that she’s speaking of isn’t physical strength, it's mental focus. She will be fine, and I’ll be by her side the entir

I heard quickening footsteps behind me, I spun around quickly hoping to stop the weapon from taking its blow, but I did not stop it. Instead it went through the amulet and the middle of my chest, all the air gasped out my lungs, but the weapon wasn't what surprised me, it was who held it. I could take only a small breath for my last words. "Since I can't kill him, then she will. You know that don't you?" I sneered, as I laughed until he twisted the long blade further into my chest, I coughed up blood, and before I went into forever slumber I hear his words. "If it's a war my dear sister wants, then I'll tear her kingdom down." He whispers in my ear, and that's the last thing I remember. Celeste's P.O.V I felt a searing pain throughout my chest and veins pulling me down to my knees, forcing a scream from my lips so awful I scared myself, my back arched toward the ceiling my hands in strengthened fists flames surrounded me and the mark grew farther up my neck. I heard the door sla
Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
Celeste's P.O.V I was now alone in my room, without the dagger. I wanted to take it with me but Henora, Asiya's mother, insisted on taking it with her, and Asiya decided to keep an eye on her since I wasn't too sure to trust Henora alone. Aris and Tabitha decided it was best to continue on with their duties which meant I was alone for the night, alone to handle my thoughts. Sitting at my desk with a quill, ink and parchment paper I stared blankly towards the window where I got stuck on the balcony. "What do I know about the Amulet so far…" I say outloud to myself. I began to list off everything like; it responds to deep emotions, the stronger the emotion the more Chaos or magic it uses. Whoever has it now has very strong magic, and the Dagger and the amulet are bonded together by something none of us know about. The fae stole the Amulet most likely for my father even though he doesn't have magic. The war when both were created had something to do with my mother and now connects t

Celeste I awoke in bed sitting up slowly with audible yawn, I looked beside me and saw Asiya asleep. She must have stayed with me that night, I don't remember anything of last night I went to move my arm to nudge Asiya and instead felt a searing pain. It looked like black ink In my veins, and it made me nervous. Asiya sat up, her eyes barely open. "Celeste you're awake." "Good morning.'' I say Pulling my legs from beneath the covers. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Are you feeling okay? You passed out and I worried about leaving you alone." "Other than the sharp pain in my wrist, I seem to be okay. I'm sorry for worrying you." I replied. I felt guilty, but my head was still slightly spinning. I tried to blink it away but it persisted. A knock came to the door and it opened a crack to reveal Aris with a tray with two sets of plates with eggs, pancakes and two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice. "Good morning, I brought you both some breakfast." Aris mentions as s

"I don't know what else to do." I admitted looking up at the ceiling. "We should wait until that guy gets back and then we can make a plan." Aris says thinking out loud. "That's if he doesn't get caught." Asiya comments with her hand on her hip. "If Tabitha doesn't want her to send the dagger to Senya, then what should we do?" Aris asked as we stood in a circle. "If she wants, let Tabitha kill him." Asiya shrugged, and we all turned to face Tabitha and she looked horrified. "That actually might be a better plan, something ties the two of them together." Aris says a finger against her lips as she thought about it more clearly. "Is that a joke? I'm not killing a man that is inhumane!" She exclaims loudly, Asiya and Aris both shushed her outburst. "Just because her grandfather could have fought the war with my mother doesn't mean we are connected other than that." I say, as this kept dragging on. "Wait a war?" She asked as if something of the sort piqued her interest. "How the Al

"Yes, of course." She says, with her hands behind her back. Tabitha didn't move, she looked like she had something to hide, but I was too tired to question it. Her hand moved in a strange direction as if she was holding something carefully not to drop it and maneuvering around us the entire time she faced toward us yet walking backwards toward the kitchen. "Are you hiding something?" Asiya asked, her face twisted in suspicion. "No, what would I be hiding?" Tabitha giggled nervously, and Aris came out of the kitchen with a dish towel in hand. Aris looked frightened. "She has a dagger in her hand!" Asiya moved Swiftly in front of me in a protective stance, her magic rising from her fingertips. I let out a sigh, can't I have one normal night with out people trying to murder me? "Wait! It's not what it looks like!" Tabitha yelled, dropping the dagger and placing her hands out in defense. I watched the dagger fall to the floor, it had an obsidian blade with silver and black runes th

I made my way to the dining hall. The smell of steak and potatoes filled the hallways, making my stomach grumble. My stomach felt like it was eating itself from the lack of eating I've been doing since I've been here. The guards held open the door, refusing to look in my direction, I continued going through to see Aris finishing setting up the table. "Good evening, everything is nearly ready, Asiya, isn't back yet but I'm sure she'll be here any moment." Aris speaks, as she places down the cutlery beside each plate filled with steak, potatoes, and salad. "This looks incredible, Aris." I smiled. It wouldn't be right to start eating without Asiya. "Well, I learned from my mother, just like everything else." She chuckled at the compliment. We both laughed as she held out my seat waiting for me to sit, so I did, and she made her way to her own beside me. "I remember when we were children having tea parties in the garden as mother did her daily chores, we would have crumpets with blu

He touched his ear making sure it didn't burn off and he sighed. "Are you talking about the Fae that attacked you and the king had to carry you back?" "How did you know that?" I questioned eyeing him. "When you were 'healing', he told us to search the entire forest for three days but we never found him. It was like he disappeared entirely." He informed me, leaning against the wall. Asiya stood quietly as if she was thinking about something, curious I decided to ask. "What is it?" "The informant told us he was taken and tortured by the Erena kingdom… Maybe he went back?" She suggested. "Why would he go back if he was tortured?" I ask, folding my arms. "It wouldn't be that surprising, it happens all the time, especially with Erena they are known to break people's psyche. Shouldn't you know that, you were the princess." The knight questioned. "I wasn't in the know about my father's important affairs." I admitted remembering growing up, and hated the most, no one told me much of any
Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
Senya I put my helmet on to get on top of my horse Gravyer. I had him ever since I was a child. He's quite old now but no horse can come over Gravyer, chocolate Arabian with a white diamond in the center of his forehead. My feet in the stirrups as I gently kicked his flank to make him move forward. "To Mystic Forest." We galloped quickly the river I said goodbye to my parents passed us by as well as trees and rocks entering the forest, it was just me and Gravyer now, and I wasn't coming back until I get my hands on the past king, it will give me satisfaction to see the son of a bitch suffer. I felt a smile cross my lips as we pushed faster, but I had to get there fast to tell Barinor the plan. It will take me a day or two to get there without Barinors dragon, but I don't trust riding that thing. I worry for Celeste after the outburst that arose at the funeral but she's strong and I know she can protect herself even though she nearly got herself killed. 'What am I going to do
