Chapter 1: Arie the Princess of Fire
My kingdom was pretty much full of flames and rocks. Only, I kind of liked it. But when my kingdom went into war, it was worse than I could have imagined. I am the only one from my flamed world who survived, me the Princess of Fire, the only person left that could control the element of fire. The only thing I have left is my flame bow and my fire arrows.
Before the war, I would always visit my cousin Ashieyu, the Princess of the Air Element. The only person I would have to pass was the Princess of the Water Element, Anii. The water element is the biggest enemy of people like me that possess the fire element. But our biggest allies are the people who possess the power of the Dark Element. The last day I saw and even spoke to Ashieyu was the night before the war. "Ashieyu, where are you?" I kept searching for her, but it was to dark to see anything. Even though I could use my power of fire to light my way and find her I would be giving myself away. Then the soldiers would take me away forever. So, I kept walking through the pitch black night until I bumped into someone. It wasn't Ashieyu either, it was a man. And when he saw who I was he was trying to strike me down. "Stop!" A girl's voice says, in the darkness. It was Ashieyu, thank God, otherwise I would have been done for. Ashieyu's hair is light blue and is tied up. Ashieyu's hair tied goes all the way past her knees. In the middle of Ashieyu's forehead is a birthmark in the shape of a flower, with four petals. Ashieyu's eyes are light brown and she has dark blue eye liner on her upper eyelids. Ashieyu also has a light shade of lipstick on too. Ashieyu wears a blue dress, with bare shoulders and long, sky blue, kimono-styled, transparent sleeves. The top part of Ashieyu's dress is tight to her chest and waist. Over Ashieyu's chest is a black design that has three triangles pointing down and then down her stomach goes a wide black line. Then the bottom of Ashieyu's dress is a mid-thigh length blue skirt. Over that is the dress portion, that is blue and transparent. Whenever she sits down or walks, her legs end up popping through, since her dress is sort of a slit dress, but instead of it just being the sides it is all around. Ashieyu also wears flat shoes. Ashieyu actually looks and dresses older than what she is. The man is Taiki, also known as Ashieyu's fiance. Taiki has straight, dark brown hair and purple eyes. Taiki's sixteen-years-old, so he's older than Ashieyu by a year. Taiki's hair is thigh-length and is tied into a low ponytail. Taiki definitely has a six-pack, even though it is pretty hard to see and he is very tall. Taiki's also quite intelligent and he actually teaches Ashieyu her school lessons. The main subject he teaches Ashieyu is Literature and he also recites poetry very well. Taiki's height is 6'2' and he weighs 156lbs. Doesn't matter, sense I had a fiance anyway. "Taiki, you knew she was coming tonight. I told you that." Says Ashieyu. "I apologize, my Princess!" Taiki says. "Arie, you know you're not supposed to be here so why come?" Asks Ashieyu. "I'm sorry, Ashieyu. But I had to see you in case this 'so-called' war takes place tomorrow night." "Don't worry, Arie. You have your fiance to protect you. Just like Taiki will for me. That is assuming he will protect you." Ashieyu says. "He will, Ashieyu!" "Just go, Arie. Before you cause more trouble. Oh and don't come back here ever again." Says Ashieyu. She then walked away. "Ashieyu!" Taiki stopped me from going any further. "Just go, Princess! Go home!" Taiki says. He then turned away from me and follows Ashieyu through the dark night.
When I got back home, I still couldn't believe what Ashieyu had said and to her own cousin. "Princess." The person who called me was Yaten, my fiance. Just like Taiki, Yaten is sixteen as well, so he and I are the same age. Yaten is shorter than what Taiki is, being only 5' and weighing 102lbs, but I don't care. Yaten has wonderful light green eyes and gray hair. Yaten's hair is as long as Taiki's, so his hair is tied into a low ponytail too. Yaten mainly taught me in the arts of painting and sculpting. Only I'm not as good as Yaten was, but I'm not exactly perfect. Yaten is a little bit distant, but he's also quite passionate. "Hey, Yaten." "What's wrong, my Princess? You seem upset about something?" Asks Yaten. "It's nothing; it's good to be home." After that night, in the war everything was upsetting. After that I was on my own and Yaten isn't with me.
Now that I am on my own, I have to fend for myself. I decided to leave my Kingdom. I'm beginning to get kind of hungry, since I haven't eaten in three days. So, I start to look for things to eat. As much as I don't like hurting animals, I have to settle on it. Then I hear something rustling in the plants. So I shoot at it, but then I hear a female person scream in pain. Since I feel guilty, I go to see what it is. When I find what my arrow hit, it is a girl about my age. She has wavy, raven black hair, long to her lower legs. The arrow went through her shoulder. I then hear something behind myself. The girl who I hit clearly has fangs and they're showing as she stands up behind myself. Her outfit is sort of revealing, but that's how her people are. Her shoulders and upper half of her chest is bare. The top part of her dress is tight to the rest of her chest to her waist. Her sleeves are long and kimono styled, almost like Ashieyu's sleeves, only her sleeves aren't transparent. With her bottom half or the dress half of it, her legs are mostly bare. The front part of her dress is short, but covers over enough. It goes long to her mid-thighs and forms almost a U mixed with a V. Then the back part of her dress or the rest of her dress is long to her feet and flows behind her. She also wears black strappy, barefoot sandals. Her dress is black and she looks almost sorceress like. She then unsheathes her sword. I thought she was going to kill me with it, but instead she pulls me out of the way of an incoming attack and slices it in half with her sword. After that she sheathes her sword, grabs my wrist and we run away from there.
We then come to a stop. She then pulls the arrow out of her shoulder and throws it to the ground. She then sits down by a rock and holds at her shoulder that's been burned through. "Nice shooting by the way." "I'm sorry; I didn't actually mean to shoot you." I then walk over to her and kneel down next to her. "I'm Arie by the way." "As in Princess Arie, right?" "Yeah, how did you know?" "I can read minds." Then when she takes her hand off her shoulder, the wound is gone and all that is left is a scar. "How did you?" "I can also heal myself as well as I can heal others, I'm Aderianu." "As in... Princess Aderianu?" "Correct, now how would you like to help me with something?" Aderianu asks. "Like what?" "Killing someone close to a little pest of mine." Says Aderianu. "Who?" "Princess Hareyu's fiance." Aderianu says. I then look into her eyes and apparently too well in her eyes. They then start glowing red and my head starts to feel weird. I then get off of my knees and Aderianu gets up as well. Aderianu then puts her hand on my forehead and I start to think of evil things. Aderianu then takes her hand off and her eyes stop glowing. When Aderianu pulls her hand away, the device in my hair comes out and my hair goes all over the place. My bangs are long to my elbows. My hair isn't in my eyes exactly it was anywhere, but covering my eyes. But then Aderianu reaches for her forehead as if it's in pain. I then stop thinking of the evil things that were just in my head. Then for some reason, Aderianu leans into the rock as if she's too weak to stand at all after whatever she did. "Aderianu, are you alright?" I put my hand on Aderianu's shoulder, that I recently just shot through. "I… will… be. The thing is no one is supposed to look deeply into my eyes. Especially, if they start glowing red. Otherwise, you could have died because of them." Says Aderianu. "Why's that?" "I can't really explain it, but when and if they ever glow red again look away immediately." Aderianu says. She then collapses to the ground, landing on her knees. "Are you sure you'll be alright?" I then try to help Aderianu get back to her feet and she does. "I will be now." Says Aderianu. She then hands me the device that recently held up my bangs and I take it. Then for some reason because of my mind I say… "I'll do it." I then roll my bangs back into its original place with the device, how I usually prefer it to be.
