2024-10-29 19:42:56"Did,. Did you just say bring her back, is that even possible?" I looked between the two of them.
Barinor frustratingly threw his hands in the air and rubbed his temples. "No, it's not."
"Why are you lying to her?" She sounded annoyed with him.
He clenched his teeth together and turned to face her. "I don't have that power anymore," he raises his voice.
"You don't have the power anymore?" I repeated.
It seems to get him more agitated because he begins to pace the unswept floor.
kicking up dust as he walked, a tiny window on the other side of the room made the dust look like glitter, sparking in the sunlight.
"Okay fine I made a promise to myself that I'd never bring back the dead again, alright is that a good enough reason?" He finishes his rant by putting an irritated hand through his black beard.
"You did it once, and it was fine no one got hurt, and you said you loved this woman right, why wouldn

'Last night was a mistake.' I thought to myself as I stared at myself in the mirror in my wedding gown as Asiya and Aris hurried around me, touching my hair pulling the dress down to show no creases on my now sore body from the night before. 'Last night was a mistake.' I kept repeating it over and over in my head, I had only shame and guilt as butterflies began to fill my stomach sickly. 'it wasn't my fault, he looked so, so pitiful, so hurt, fragile yet strong as he took my body as his, it's too late, I am physically his, I belong to him now.' "Princess, we must be on our way or we will be late." Aris says as she picks up the long laced train of the veil that laid lazily on the floor behind me. I said nothing and let them lead me down toward the throne room, I looked nowhere else but the floor ahead, I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with anyone. My brother would be waiting in the throne room, and my father would be ready to g

"Queen Celeste," he whispers, and I looked up at him, I knew my makeup was running. "None of this is your fault." He continued. "Barinor, did you find her?" He sounded anxious, scared even. "Yeah, she's right here, safe." He slowly let go, my tears black streaks down my cheeks, they just won't stop. I was shaking, all I could feel was fear and anger. "What are you doing here, Senya?" My voice portrayed my emotions. He shouldn't be here, he should be in the throne room making a plan to find that man's family. "I got worried about you," he was sincere behind his words but that made me even more angry. "Don't be, I'm fine." I growled. "With all due respect, milady, but I really don't think you're fine at all." Barinor defended him, and he was right. I'm not okay but I'm the last person that he should be worried about right now. "I'm, I'm fine." My voice broke. Senya stepped forwar

I opened the large iron door squealing against the rubbled floor, I hated that sound. Asiya helped me open the door all the way and ran in before it shut loudly behind us. "Queen Celeste, is that you?" He called out from somewhere in the room. "Yes I'm here." I called back, walking around the room trying to find him. "Where are you?" "I'm in the other room." He hollered out again, he sounded muffled. Asiya walked over toward a large cloth, she pulled it back revealing another room. She held it open and I curiously walked through. "Any more secrets I need to know about this place?" "Probably, the castle was here before the Alastaine's showed up." He said as we walked to where Barinor and a knight were sitting. Barinor had a sewing needle tightly held between his lips as he rubs alcohol onto a deep cut in the Knight's abdomen. "What happened?" I asked, pulling out another stool. "The king and I were practicing spa

I threw his hands away from me and began to walk away, how dare he act that way. How dare he force those words from my lips when he already knows the truth? He ran to catch up to me. "Where are you going?" I spun wildly to face him, my cheeks red with anger. "Away from you." I snapped as I turned to leave again. It all happened in a blur and he quickly grabbed my wrist. "Stop." I tried to get out of his grip but he tightened it. "Celeste stay with me?" I didn't respond. I struggled trying to get out of his hold. "Please?" it felt as if I were to pull away anymore my wrist would surely break. "Senya, let me go, you're hurting me." I whimpered, attempting to pull away again. "Then stay." That wasn't a suggestion, it was an order. "Fine." I groaned letting my arm go limp. He gave me a look that suggests he doesn't believe me, but slowly let go anyway. I rubbed my poor sore wrist, it was all red from how tight he was
Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER FIFTEEN
"Go get a cart ready, I'm going to change into something I can move more easily in." I ordered Asiya, making our way out the door. I remembered watching my brother spar in the courtyard under my window, listening to the clanging of metal when each sword clashed against one another in only their Long Johns and sweaters in the fall, I never understood sparring; it seemed so unnecessary, fighting for nothing but domination of your opponent. Nothing more, nothing less. "Yes, Milady." Asiya bowed and smirked as for the first time since yesterday she called me by my title, it felt foreign on her lips, making me smirk sheepishly back. I was no longer only Hierarchy, but her friend if you could call us that, does this make us friends? She scattered along and made way to get ready for departure, as I seem to need help picking out something to fight in. Aris suddenly caught my eye and I waved her over. "Aris." "Yes, Milady?" She ask
Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Finlin made sure the horses were at a full stop before getting out of the seat behind them, they snuffed their nostrils in protest as poor mister Finlin waddled over to our carriage doors and opened them with a slight bow, holding out a hand to help us out. One by one we exited the carriage, I looked around for a moment to take in my surroundings. I haven't been around, nor in mystic forest much, I just never had the need nor want to leave the castle. "Your highness, I shall wait here for your return if that's alright, I'm not one for exploring." He laughed halfheartedly gesturing to his leg, but to my surprise it was not a leg, well not a flesh and bone kind, instead it was a wooden peg in its place. 'makes Sense why he had been waddling like this.' I thought to myself. I saw enough injuries from fights and war to not be bothered, he must've been a knight to get such an injury, either that or he was once a pirate. I laughed at t

"You need a way to get back to that man who is waiting for you right? So take Evra, I was keeping her for when you returned anyway." Aurora says her hands clasped calmly behind her back now. "For me? Why?" She gave me a look to suggest that I should leave the questions alone for now. Realizing she was right I let the questions go for now and looked over at Asiya. "Let's take her, we don't have much of a choice now do we?" Asiya says bringing me back to reality. "Right we should be off then." I gently rubbed the mare's snout. "Are you ready Evra?" She flared her nostrils letting me know she was in fact prepared. I pulled myself over her back and pulled Asiya up with me. "Alright let's go." We took off bolting into the sky Asiya screamed, wrapping her arms tightly around my waist to make sure she didn't fall, I laughed in response feeling the cool breeze against my face, as we flew towards the entrance where Finlin was supposed to
Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
“We will talk about all of this later.” He said before dropping off Evra’s back falling towards the ground and landing at ease on his feet. He looked up at me and nodded to say he was fine, he took the hilt of his sword and pulled it forcefully from the sheath with a metal pang. At least five enemies had already met their demise before we got here. I was shocked at how she could protect herself with so much ease. I could hear Senya and Asiya call out to each other about something keeping one of them alive till they get information but the enemy knights were too preoccupied with dodging Asiya’s magic and the rest of our knights blades. ‘I should do something too, instead of sitting up here just watching.’ I thought to myself as I let my magic surge through me and brought down fire balls onto the fight grounds taking out three of a time. More and more enemies began to run from the forest ten, twenty no n

“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
