CHAPTER ONE

“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

CHAPTER TWO

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

CHAPTER THREE

“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

CHAPTER FOUR

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."

CHAPTER FIVE

"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

CHAPTER SIX

"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

CHAPTER SEVEN

"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

CHAPTER EIGHT

  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

CHAPTER NINE

"What do we do?" She panicked. "It will go out eventually, we can just keep people out of the room for now," I breathed heavily. "Okay but how?" She asked, shaking her head. I walked over to one of the guards. "There has been an accident in the room over there, please don't let anyone in for at least two hours." He nodded without another word and took a stance at the door. I began to hear footsteps coming down the hallway, and I turned to see who it was. "Barinor, hey."  He eyed Asiya for a moment and took me by the arm. "Come with me." He says pulling me down the hall. I looked behind us as we left Asiya behind. "I'll be back in a bit."  That's when I turned and went with Barinor down another case of stairs. "Where are you taking me, Barinor?" My voice echoed as the walls and stairs were turning into rubble stones in the circular stairway. "We need to talk, it took me all afternoon to find a place, bu

CHAPTER TEN

  "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
