All Chapters of Princess of Death: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rhae took a deep breath, checking her fingers for any lingering blue flames, before strolling out of her chambers towards the greenhouse. Prince Valor was sitting down feasting on pastries. If he isn't careful he could become as big as his father. Rhae strolled purposefully towards the table before taking a seat across from the Prince. She gave him a pointed stare, waiting for him to stop staring at her with a pastry hanging half out of his mouth. Valor slowly took the pastry out of his mouth and placed it on his plate, chewing the bite he took before he pulled it away. "Hello Nira, what can I do for you?" Valor smiled, resting his chin on his hands. "First of all, I'm not your mother, nor do I want to be. You will address me as Queen Nira. Secondly, you will not ask questions about my relationship with your father, though you are welcome to ask questions about anything else. Third, I need to know about the monsters, everything you saw outside of the walls." Rhae was giving a smil

Aynyra sat to the left of her father, with her brother on his right. They sat together at the meeting table, the court members turned to the King, waiting for him to speak. Her father had called an emergency meeting, which had never happened in her life. She also had never been to a meeting before, she supposed her father had an important reason for inviting her. "Our Queen has gone missing. Our prisoner has escaped. We must organise a search party for the Queen and put our a warrant for Dynamere Renaeleous. I will be leading the search party with my son. The lords present today will enact a council temporarily to take over my duties whilst I search for my wife," The King had no room for argument on his face. "Father, I would like to join the search party," all the Lords in the room turned to her, including her father and brother. The King frowned, "Absolutely not. You are to stay here and train to be the spiritual leader for when your brother takes over, as planned." Aynyra stood,

Prince Valor was now King Valor. Aynyra attended his coronation, standing beside him as he received his crown and sceptre. He had no Queen, but he had Aynyra. Aynyra stepped forwards and was blessed, receiving the band of the spiritual leader. A ceremonial sash was tied around her wrists, binding her forever to her spiritual responsibilities to the Kingdom. The sash was cut in the middle, leaving a strand hanging from each wrist. She sat on her throne beside her brother as the Priest chanted in Lystaria, followed by the court standing and applauding. They were in a new age, an age where they led the decisions of the Kingdom, where the blight of assassins, criminals and famine fell on their shoulders. Valor's first act as King was to remove bans on magic and remove the death penalty on all Fae. He decreed that anybody with magic or of Fae heritage was to be protected within the city walls, under his rule. They were to report to him and use their gifts to aid the Kingdom in its needs.

A few days had passed, mostly being spent in her room, until guards escorted her to the daily training with Aynyra and Valor. She hadn't seen Aerys since the guards separated them on arrival. She would have to go find him, to make good on her promise to him. Being under room arrest wasn't working for her, and today she would convince Valor to trust her. Rhaenyx stood across the mat from Aynyra, pulling up the magic from deep inside her, pulling it to her skin. It was easy to summon the magic, as all she had to do was bring up her anger, which she had a lot of. Aynyra stood across from her, hands raised. They had practised a few times, enough for Rhae to know that Aynyra could send out pulses of force, that were directional. Valor was trying to teach her to control it in pointed blasts that Rhae could dodge, allowing a real challenge. She had also learned that Aynyra could move things with her mind, but she could only do one thing at a time; her magic had limits so far. Rhae pulled

Rhae awoke to the campfire smouldering out, a small plume of smoke rising from it into the dawn. She yawned, stretching from the uncomfortable ground that hurt her back and looked around the camp. Aynyra hadn't returned yet.Rhae stood, examining the blanket that had been laid out for Aynyra, it was undisturbed. She ran over to Valor and shook him awake, "Aynyra hasn't returned yet, we have to go find her."Valor blinked slowly and rubbed his eyes, "What?" Aerys awoke at the noise and sat up, yawning, "What's going on?""Come on, pack up your shit, we have to go find Aynyra!" Rhae rolled up her blanket and shoved everything into her pack as quickly as she could, then ran over to speed up Valor and Aerys.She used her boot to stamp out whatever was left of the fire and ran off in the direction where Aynyra had disappeared the night before. Valor and Aerys ran after Rhae, trying to keep up with her pace as she raced through the forest, leaping
