Chapter 1: Life in Sigun

It was just an ordinary day on planet Sigun. 3.000 light years away from Earth. The only common fact that these two planets had were that both planets needed oxygen for the people, animals and plants to live. But otherwise, they were complete opposites. My planet sky was light blue to lilac at mornings and very dark purple at nights. The plants were extraordinary, same as the cities, and the palace even more. My planet was ruled by a government, and the royals were just... well, royals. And not only they weren't respected by the rulers, but according to them, they were the people that were most in danger if something went wrong. And with me being the princess, meant I wasn't exactly safe and sound.

But this day was just so perfect that nothing could destroy it. I got out of bed as my maid helped get ready as she forced me into a corset, a long sleeve yellow shirt and then into a long, until the floor, dress with the kind of 14th century sleeves and yellow sparkly heels. She curled my long blonde hair, tied half of them into a bun, leaving enough curls down. She applied some light makeup to my face, including light powder, cherry pink lipstick and some mascara. She put my crown-for-the-day on my head and left to let my go for a walk in the garden, passing from many rooms. I stopped outside the meeting room after I heard my parents talking. But it wasn't the fact that they were talking that made me stop to overhear them, but the fact that my mother was in tears.

"No, Morgan. I can't do that. I can't sent my baby girl away!" my mother was sobbing, and all I could think of when I heard what she said was, sent me away? What is she talking about?! as my father talked this time.

"I know, darling. She is my daughter too. But, she'll be safer on Earth than here. I just think the look on her face when she hears these news. Her leaving. Away from her planet, away from us, away from her best friend and away from the boy she truly loves. It will break her heart, but at least it's for the best."
I couldn't bare to hear anything more. I couldn't imagine leaving anywhere else. Being away from my parents, my best friend Sara... and Seth, oh Seth. I didn't even want to think of it. I went to garden running to meet him under our big tree, our special spot. I waited and waited, until he finally showed up. I ran as fast as I could wearing this dress and these heels and hugged him with tears beginning to form in my eyes. "Oh Seth..." was the only thing I could manage to say before I started sobbing.

"My love, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" he asked as we sat down. So, I said to him about the conversation my parents were having and when I finished, he was looking everywhere, except from my eyes. "Oh, I didn't want you to find out this way." he said sadly. "You mean you knew about this? You knew. All of you. My parents, Sara and even you knew and you didn't tell me anything!" I shouted as I couldn't stand my beloved lying to me in something that important.

"Please, let me explain." Seth started. "I only learned it a week ago. And I do not like the idea either. But it is for the best, for you sake... Emma." I didn't want to hear anything more. I turned around and went back to the castle leaving Seth alone under our tree. I entered my room, sat on one of the armchairs and recalled my first meeting with Seth.

It was a beautiful and sunny day. My mother had told me the previous day that today we would meet a very important person and his family. I dressed at my best and went to the throne room at exactly 11 o'clock as promised. My mother and father were already there. After some time, one of the maids went in and told us they were here. I stood proud ready to welcome our guests.

First, a young couple got in. A man with brown spiky hair and crystal blue eyes and a woman with curly light blonde hair and the same shade of eyes. Dressed both at their best to overcome my family's standards, even though anyone if anyone else was in the room, would easily recognize which one is the royal couple.

Then, their children got in. I could say that both were my age. They looked very much like. The boy with spiky light blonde hair and crystal blue eyes and the girl had arm length straight light blonde hair and the same crystal blue eyes as her brother.

They both were extremely beautiful. The girl smiled at me, while the boy kept staring at me with a look that suggest that if I had been wearing white, he would think I was an angel.

"My king," said the man and bowed to my father, as he kissed my mother's hand, bowed again and said "my queen," Finally, he came to me and repeated what he did with my mother, but this time saying "my princess." Then, his wife and kids bowed as my father said "My dear friends." Then, he, my mother and our guests walked out of the room leaving me alone with the blonde siblings.

"The boy came closer to me, and after he took my hand and kissed, he said "My princess, I'm honored to meet you. My name is Seth and this is my sister Sara."

I smiled and then bowed and said "Please, call me Emma."

That was it. After that, I started hanging out with both siblings. Sara became my best friend. She had powers like her brother, like me, and pretty much like everyone on the planet. She was telepathic and telekinetic. Which means she could read other people's minds and she could also move objects with her mind. Her telepathic powers was the main reason why Sara was the most trusting and innocent of the two siblings. And about Seth... well, we got a special connection and after some time, Sara, who of course because of her powers knew everything, came to me and said what was really happening:

"Twin Soul, really?" I asked both surprised and happy with the truth. "So, I am Seth's soulmate. Does he know that?" "Yes, he does." Sara replied. "At the beginning, he tried to deny it as you are royal and he is just a normal boy. But after some time, he could not hold his feelings back anymore and gave in to his passion. You."

That is what she had said. I already knew that Seth was the one for me. And when I heard that Seth and I were soulmates, I got a million more butterflies in my stomach every time I saw him. Now we know that we love each other deeply and that one day will be married.

With the reminding thought that I was Seth's true love, I laid in my bed and drifted off to sleep.
