"How do I make her not like me?" He questioned, sighing.
Atticus placed cups of tea in front of us, I thanked him with a smile as he took his own seat around the white iron outdoor chairs. "Oh, come on boy, that young fawn is beautiful, wouldn't you want a beautiful girl like her?"
I placed a sugar cube in my tea As Atticus cut in, I couldn't help but smile as I stirred my tea. "Maybe if I was single, but I have a girl back home who is waiting for me."
"A girl? Why didn't she come along with you when you came here?" I asked, intrigued.
"She has her place that she needs, so I have come here on my own." He says taking a sip of his piping hot tea.

Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
After I explained what happened she went quiet, and deep in thought. "It looks like a rune for chaos." She says quietly. "Do you see how it nearly looks like a star dispersing itself out with arrowheads?" She pointed how each one of the arrows pointed outwards, and I nod gently. "So what is the meaning of chaos?" I am quite worried. "It could have many meanings, I don't know all that much about runes, but maybe my mother does." She began to turn back to the door and I grabbed her arm in panic. "No, I don't want anyone else to know about this." I replied in a hush tone. "Celeste this could be dangerous, I don't think it would do any good to hide it." Asiya scolded. "Ple

"Where is Isla now?" I questioned, as we walked to the door again. "She's in the next room over, as far as I'm aware." She says opening the door. We stepped out and went to the next room knocking on the door and opening it as I heard Ilsa call for us to come in. "Ah, your majesty, how are you doing this evening?" "Isla I need your help." My voice broke and her smile turned from upwards to down into a frown. "What happened to your pendant?" She questioned before asking anything else. Confused, I looked down at my mother's pendant, but it was no longer pure red, it looked as if black smoke was forming inside the ruby. I was at a loss for words, did the curse that I had put on myself caused this? Without saying anything I held up my hand to her, Isla's face turned to horror as she made her way over to get a better look. "My goodness child what have you done?" She whispered frantically, which was beginning to make me panic
Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
We fell asleep and awoke to the harsh sin peering through the window, I had to blink a few times before keeping them open. Senya sprawled out over the bed and his head still lobbed over my chest, his mouth open slightly breathing slowly. It was warm, I felt like a cat laying in the sunshine that was very content. Truthfully I didn't want to wake him, I wanted to hold him closer and fall back asleep without a care in the world. He began to stir, rubbing his head against my chest, and he slowly looked up at me. "Good morning." His voice husky from induced sleep. "Good morning." I whispered back, he kissed me lightly before pulling himself up into a sitting position. Today is the day we say goodbye, the day that puts our love on hold, until he comes back to me, my love. He went to the closet and began getting dressed in warm suede and leather and getting his chainmail and armor on. Everything is beginning to feel much more real, Senya is leaving to a war that would have never sta

I could hear everyone's voices hitch in their throat and Asiya tried to save me. "It's quite hot out today isn't it, your Highness you must be hot in all that metal." There was no response except one. "She's a witch!" I closed my eyes in defeat as everyone began to talk over each other. "So the rumors are true?" "Burn her at the stake!" "How dare the king puts us in her hands!" "She will kill us all." "I'm not listening to a witch." I stayed at my little spot on the river bed, I don't dare move, it's too late they all hate me now. "You will do as she permits you to do while I'm away, in fact even when I'm here you will as well." Senya's voice echoes over the muddy terrain. "Your Highness, she's a witch!" One man yelled over the crowd. "No, she is also your queen, my wife and she will protect this kingdom no matter what. That is what she showed me." He continues. My hand, floating on the water as my tears dripped into the river. I never meant any harm and yet, still I s

I felt a hand grasping mine, my throat was no longer in pain and I could breathe freely, I opened my eyes and saw Senya asleep next to me. I sat up too quickly, my head spun and I had to steady myself on the tall metal bed so I didn't fall, I noticed my dress hung off me, showing my breasts remembering what happened. Senya stirred and sat up from his uncomfortable seat. He had circles under his eyes and it made me wonder how long I was out. "Thank God you woke up." I smiled meekly at him, did he stay the entire time? "You've been asleep for three days, I didn't think you were…" tears filled his eyes as he caressed my cheek gently with the back of his hand. "I-." It still hurt to speak, I needed something to drink, I tried to clear my throat and start again. "I'm sorry for worrying you." He passed me a glass of water and I took it graciously, and chugged it down. I was just so thirsty it poured down my body. Senya took a towel and gently dried me off. "Wait, did you say thre

"I felt you had the right to know, but I also needed you to know that wee are on your side. The magic users and the Fae have been on the same side for generations. It would be a tragedy if something like this would destroy that.' Aurora sympathized. She was showing signs of nervousness looking over her shoulder every couple seconds as if at any moment she will be caught doing something red-handed. "You have nothing to worry about here, you must remember this is 'My' kingdom." I say knowing that might not be all true, since the funeral I wonder how even I will survive here, but I didn't want her to worry. "Thank you, I haven't left the forest in years, this kingdom once belonged to us so many decades ago I lost count, but since the war we abandoned our place here, I'm quite wary outside my forest." She explains with a weary smile. "A war happened here?" I asked, remembering the story I was told about the Fae that blessed the Alastians with their kingdom, but I had no idea it was bec

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

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 FIFTY-ONE
“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
