Chapter 1- The Accident:

"MOM!" Selene yelled at the top of her lungs, she knew she was going to get in trouble for talking back, but she didn't care. Since the "ever loved" queen Channery had died with no one else to gain the throne, the next in line thaumaturge took over until Selene was of age, which was when she was 16. And though Selene was only twelve, she knew that for sure she would be better than the ruler they had now, Sybil. Selene hated Sybil. She was so narcissistic it gave Selene a headache, like everyone else in Artemisia, it's a wonder how Selene didn't turn out to be that way too. Selene argued with her adoptive mother a lot and she always got over it, but this was the last straw.

"You are taking these boys away from their family's!" Selene yelled chasing after Sybil trying to dodge servants getting to wherever they needed to be in the busy main hall. Selene should've calmed down by now but family is what Selene valued most, since she didn't have one of her own, and now those poor boys were just like her and she didn't want anyone to go through what she'd been through.

"My sweet darling they volunteered to go." The calmness in Sybil's voice made Selene want to strangle her.

"Volunteered! Volunteered! You made them, brainwashed them to go just so you could have soldiers for free!" Cinder couldn't bare it anymore, couldn't deal with it a second longer, she rushed out the palace gates, crying, when suddenly a hover came out of nowhere, and Selene felt the wind get knocked out of her. This was going to be an interesting day.
