Prologue

"Destiny has set a cruel path for you. If I could take your place my sweet, always remember I would in the flutter of a wing. This is not a goodbye, this is a stay safe. When the time is right and the stars aligned we shall meet again my princess."

The young mother gentler laid her only surviving child into the crib along side the mortal child. Down the hall she could hear the mortals parents sleeping soundly and unbothered. They had no idea their lives would change in the morning. With one last kiss to her baby's head, the mother collects the mortal infant in her arms and makes her exit to the portal secretly nestled in the back yard. Upon entrance to her home on the other side of the portal she is greeted by her guards she left patiently awaiting her return.

"Good evening your Majesty. Did you and the princess have a pleasant excursion?"

"Quite pleasant, thank you Caius."
