Immortal Revolution War – 1
By AngeliqueKat
Chapter 1
Bloom walked with a hurry down the hallway, which was weirdly empty. Pushing that away, she only shook her head and continued down the hall until reaching her father's office, King Oritel. She had heard heavy arguments in there and was worried her mother and father had gotten in another argument and began to threaten each other, like they always did.
She had to admit that despite being a small looking teen, she had been feeling quite weird. Was it her period? But maybe it was her depression. What depression, then? Maybe Brandon knew. Shaking her head once again, she frowned. Her father had restricted Brandon from visiting her anymore for some unknown reason, and she was decided to find out why.
She mildly knocked on the door politely and regally allowed her slender arms, covered in lace sleeves, fall. The door opened to a creek, and a dark brown eye peeked out. The person let out a sigh before opening the door completely.
"Daddy," Bloom said, fiddling with her fingers. "I was wondering why there was so much argument in here."
He merely looked down at his daughter. For a 16-year-old, she sure worried about them. Usually, Oritel would expect teenagers to go around, flirting about and not having a care in the world, but his daughter had become the opposite. She was educated, kind-hearted and sweet. And of course, her only friend being the well known warrior, Brandon Janis.
"It was nothing of your concern, young lady." He addressed instead. "Just another argument with the kingdoms."
She grumbled in protest.
"It was not just an argument, Father. It was getting quite too heated!" She said, determined to take some answers out of her father. He sighed again and ruffled his daughter's perfect hair, causing her to shriek. He laughed before answering, and became serious once again.
"King Radius has declared war with 5 planets." He said, his warm chocolate brown eyes suddenly becoming cold. "One of those planets is us, and now are rivals are Solaria, Linphea, the Harmonic Nebula, Tides and Zenith."
Her right arm, clutching one of her many skirts, suddenly gripped harder. The room began to spin; she toppled and landed right in her father's arms.

Flora looked down at her gorgeous garden, peering brightly in the great royal garden. She grinned, quite pleased, when a hard knock came on her room. She turned, and picking up her skirts, rushed towards the door to see Roxy, her royal lady-in-waiting.
"Princess Flora," Roxy bowed respectfully. Flora only curtly nodded, not wanting to bend down.
"Yes, honey?" She asked.
"Your father, King Arthur, and 5 other kings got involved in a horrid argument, and they have declared war." Roxy said, blinking.
"Wh – what?" Flora stuttered. Before Roxy could even answer, Flora pushed her aside and raced down the halls, carrying her skirts, looking desperately for her father.
"- And I need General Ferris to make sure out soldiers are prepared for any incoming prob-"
"FATHER!" Flora shrieked, tripping into the room. Her father turned his head, hanging the phone up.
"What is this? A war?"
"Flora, sweetie, listen to me-"
"WE ARE THE NATURE PLANET, FATHER!" A yell escaped her mouth before she lowered her tone. "We are obviously no war material! If this planet it attacked, then we have no good defenses! The flower houses will wilt and the tree houses will shrivel and die!"
King Arthur waited until his daughter's rage cooled down. "That's why I have you, my darling."
Flora couldn't believe her ears. Was she hearing stuff?
"What about me?"
"You are the key for protecting Linphea."
"Are you trying to say that you're planning to use me?"
"Yes – I mean, Fl-" Before he could finish, Flora ran out of the room, forgetting about her skirts and sobbing.
No…this must be some sick joke.

Brandon glared at the castle's doors. With inhuman strength, he pushed the large heavy doors, opening them. The guards who had not allowed him in through the gates turned and began to run after him, but Brandon was quick and ran faster. After years of coming in this castle, he had practically memorized Bloom's bedroom. He ran inside only to find a bunch of maids and a doctor hovering over his best friend, who laid pale on her large bed. She seemed so small and fragile; he couldn't stand to see her in such condition. He turned only to see Queen Miriam.
"Brandon!" She gasped.
"Qu – Queen Miriam!" He stuttered. God, how could he be so stupid! "Uh – hello!"
"Weren't you banned from the castle?" She asked in such hostile way.
"Ye – No! Uh, I came to visit Bloom." He answered.
"Brandon, I will ask you kindly to leave." Queen Miriam said coldly, pointing one of her hands at the double doors. "Go ahead and I won't call the guards."
"Before I leave, I want to know why I was banned from the castle." He said stubbornly.
"I will leave that task to my husband." She said, raising her head. "Go and visit him. If he's in a good mood, he'll answer your question."
Shaking his head, he walked to King Oritel's office and knocked. At first, no one answered, but then the door opened, showing a pale face King.
"Uncl – King Oritel?" Brandon asked, worried.
"Brandon, what are you doing here?" He asked soberly. Brandon could tell that the king had been crying. Maybe it's better not to mention it.
"King Oritel," He bowed deeply. "I have an important matter to speak of with you, with all respect, your majesty."
"Come inside." He said. Brandon stepped in and took a seat in front of the King, who sat behind his desk, a grave expression matted on his face.
"It's about Princess Bloom."
His face darkened.
"Why am I banned from the castle and speaking to her?"
He seemed to have trouble to answer, but eventually decided to answer.
"I spoke to a fortune teller a few days ago." He began. "She told me a revolutionary war would begin, and only the immortals will help their planets survive."
"What does Bloom have to do with this?"
"6 brave men would convince the immortals to aid their planets, because in the beginning they would not cooperate. She – she told me who they would be."
"You haven't answered my question, King Oritel."
"You are one of those men. And my beautiful Bloom is the first major immortal to be convinced."
"This only adds up that I shouldn't be restricted away from her!" Brandon yelled angrily.
"I still find you as a threat for my little rose, so I hope that explains everything." He said bitterly. "Leave from my sight."
Angry, annoyed, worried, upset, all these feelings flooded into Brandon before he angrily stormed out of the castle.

Helia looked at his father, standing proudly across him from the table. The counsel of Linphea had been reunited to speak of the beautiful Princess Flora and about the war. Helia had to admit, he was crushing on the gorgeous princess, but he knew there was a far chance that she would even notice him, a hopeless artist.
"We must keep Princess Flora away from any contacts." The elder council member, Saladin, Helia's grandfather, announced. "That way, we avoid any kidnapping to be used against us."
"Not only that, the Princess is our most prized possession," King Arthur said proudly. "The second most powerful immortal. Now we need to get our hands on Oritel's daughter, Princess Bloom, the most powerful immortal in order to win this war and conquer the other planets."
"That will not be hard." General Quincy announced. "I can lead about 5 special assassins to kidnap the Princess."
"I don't want anyone to kidnap anyone." Duke Nicholas announced. "This is against our kind nature, with all due respect, King Arthur."
"You are no one to command me, Duke." King Arthur redirected coldly. Helia felt anger and hatred against the King. He only lived to be mean and was greedy. How can he can be Princess Flora's father? "It's decided. Tomorrow, General Quincy will lead his assassins to kidnap Princess Bloom."
