Quick note I also have this up on Wattpad so please don't say I stole anyone's story. Thank you.
Chapter 1
Heavy foots steps echoed through the empty hallway as a young girl begrudgingly marched to her current employer's office. Normally she didn't mind seeing Prince Izana, the first prince of Clarines, in fact over the past few years you can say they formed a sort of pleasant bond but he had this god awful habit of summoning her way to early in the morning. To make matters worse it was a colder then usual day in Clarines and she only had her light armor on.
After what seemed a life time of walking in the cold she finally arrived at the prince's office door, nodding once to the guards on duty she walked in without knocking. "Ah, Kyrie what perfect timing. I was starting to get worried you fell back asleep," He smiled that fake smile as he tacked on. "Again."
My eye twitched slightly at the jab to my inability to wake in the morning but I quickly covered my irritation with a smile. "I wouldn't dream of keeping you waiting my lord." I replied with a slight bow.
"Good, let us hope you do the same for my dear little brother." Kyrie's eyes snapped up to meet Izana's, waiting for him to continue or at least explain. After a few moments of heavy silence she realized he wouldn't continue until she asked.
Kyrie's POV
"What do you mean by the statement, my lord." I tried to keep my displeasure out of my voice as I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. "I thought your thinking skills were better than that Kyrie, though I'll chalk it up to you being woken up so early." He sighed out as if he was a disappointed parent. "Effect by this afternoon I am assigning you to be one of Zen's aides."
"What? Why would you assign me to your brother! My lord have I not served you well as captain of your elite guard for the past 4 years!" I yelled a bit hurt that I was losing my position and practically being demoted to a glorified babysitter.
The smile faded off Izana's face and a dark look crossed his eyes causing me to shiver. "Are you questioning a direct order from me?" His tone was dark and I knew in that moment I had over stepped my bounds. I quickly kneeled before him. "No lord Izana, forgive me for the out burst." I spoke loud and clear but kept my eyes and head bowed toward the ground.
"Good, now that it's settled please make sure you meet with Zen after lunch, he will be notified of your arrival." I nodded my head. Still not meeting his eyes and went straight for the door, an angry aura radiating off me. Feeling frustrated and helpless I went to the once spot I knew I could cool my head, the training grounds.
Obi's POV
I watched as the sun slowly started to come up. It was always a pretty and relaxing site for me, hence why I stayed up until the sun broke through the darkness. It reminded me how the little light I had managed to cut through my own personal darkness, with the help of master and everyone else.
My thoughts started to wander into the direction of my past and I quickly stood up. 'I need a distraction.' I thought as I hopped down from the tree I had been perched on. As I walk pass the training ground my ears pick up on the sound of wood against wood. 'Interesting, normally everyone is still asleep except the guards on duty.'
Curiosity got the best of me and I found myself jumping into the giant tree overlooking the training field. There I spot a woman in an all blue palace outfit, a large sword in hand and with every frustrated swing more and more of her light blue hair flung in her face. 'Wonder who pissed her off.'
I watched for a few more minutes debating if I should intervene before she breaks the training dummy. "Damn… Izana…" She panted out, swing her sword harder then before. As if something had sparked another fit of rage. With that I decided to hop out of the tree, a good fight might help me get some sleep for once.
As soon as I landed piercing light blue eyes landed on mine, locking me in place. 'That face.' She stood up straight, eyes drilling into me as I took in her features. The beauty mark under her left eye and right bottom lip. That scar under her bottom left eye running horizontal, the scar I gave her, there was no doubt in my mind who this woman was and for once I cursed my curiosity.
"So you lived." I heard her call out, her stance shifting into one that showed that she considered me a threat. Memories came flooding back and with it a blast of darkness. My eyes turned cold, my tone dark. "Sorry to disappoint."
