In the great kingdom of Kynthia, there lived a king and queen. King Aku and Queen Lucine were happily married. Queen Lucine was pregnant with her first child. After months of carrying the child Queen Lucine gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Princess Nokomis Lucine Chandra was welcomed to the kingdom with joy. On Nokomis's second birthday Queen Lucine became pregnant with another child. Later in Lucine's pregnancy she fell severely ill. The baby was born but the queen died. Princess Aramis Candra Chandra was welcomed to the kingdom with sadness but also happiness. It was Aramis's birth that killed the kingdoms beloved queen. As the princesses grew older they became close, despite the two year difference. When Aramis asked about their mother, Nokomis would tell her what she could remember. By the time Nokomis was twelve and Aramis was ten, their father died from poisoning. Nokomis was very close to her father, so you can imagine she was heartbroken. She shut everyone out for six years, including her sister. Our story begins on her eighteenth birthday.
Nokomis woke up to the sound of someone pounding on her chamber doors. She slowly brought herself up to a sitting position and stretched. "Come in." She says and yawns, straightening her covers. Her sister walked in. "Nokomis, why aren't you ready yet?" She asks, her hands on her small waist. She was dressed in a midnight blue and white dress. The white covered the bottom of the skirt like frost. Her honey brown hair was in a braided bun. "Ready for what?" Nokomis asked as she slid out from under her covers. Her feet hit the cold floor and she winced. It was going to be a very cold day. "You're being coronated today, remember?" Aramis says and sits down on the edge of the bed. Nokomis walked over to her vanity and took her hair out of the braid it was in. She brushed her hair and watched Aramis from the mirror. "I'll ring for a maid." Aramis grumbles. With the grace of a fox, she walked over to the long rope and pulled it. Nokomis stood up after brushing her hair and went to her closet. She looked at the coronation gown that had been laid out for her. It had the colors of Kynthia on it. Midnight blue, silver, and royal purple.
"Aramis, will you please come help me put this on. I do not feel like waiting for the maid." Nokomis says and strips out of her nightgown. She steps into the gown and pulls it up. Aramis helps her put her arms in her sleeves and laces up the back. Nokomis went out to her vanity and sat down once more. She put on her silver tear drop earrings and sets the silver diamond necklace on her neck. Aramis began doing her hair into a simple braided crown. Nokomis looked at her sister in the mirror, her crystal blue eyes focused on her hair. Unlike her sister, Nokomis's eyes were a light violet. Also unlike her sister, her hair was shiny and black. Nokomis set her crown on atop her head and stood up. The sisters walked out of Nokomis's chambers and down to the cathedral. As time went by during the coronation, Nokomis did everything perfectly and soon enough she was queen of Kynthia.
The party after the coronation was amazing. Everyone danced, drank, ate, and danced again. Nokomis stood at her throne and watched everyone. Aramis was dancing with Sir Jericho Atlas Jannali. He was captain of the Royal Guard. Nokomis didn't like the relationship that they were currently in. They had been seeing each other for a few months now and Nokomis frequently noticed her sister sneaking to the servant halls. As Nokomis thought of what to do a handsome young man walked up to her. "Your Majesty, would you like to dance?" He asked her. She blinked away her thoughts and looked at the man. He was charming. His hair was cut close to his head but she could tell that it was a dark brown of sorts. She smiled and nodded slowly. He extended his hand and she took it. They waltzed around the throne room. "I don't believe I know your name." Nokomis says half way through the dance. "Prince Noel Skylar." He says and smiles. Nokomis smiled slightly. The song ended and they walked out to the balcony. The cold air felt good on Nokomis's warm skin. She looked at the sky and saw Earth. It was a full Earth tonight. She looked at Prince Noel and suddenly knew that he wasn't from Kynthia. He was from Earth. Her heart swelled in her chest. He came closer to her and they kissed. A sweet, innocent kiss that suddenly turned into something more.
