The Crown of Peace-Prologue
'"The World is a wonderful place, a place of time; great cultures and mankind.
Societies established are reflected by the cities of the divine…
Indeed this prophecy of the coming ruler will come as darkness.
It will be the coming age of creatures in your hands instead of stones…
Although wars will wage but the ruler shall conduct oneness [peace]…
Destiny will decide the one who is worthy of the Throne.'" –The Book of Y-meta, Sands of Hwt-ka-Ptah translated.
The young boy admired the literature; he knew he wanted to see the world. He couldn't sleep and as his 4th year living in this household, he valued harmony. In the echo of the night, he could hear a solemn female voice humming though the night. She must have been studying also; with only a schedule of three hours sleep within the 24-hour cycle…time was precious. The dusty humidity made him feel drowsy so he shut his book. He traced the humming to the well room where he mainly finds solitude and reverie.
As his eyes met the sapphire eyes of the older girl who was at the little patch of garden filled with bouquet. The lesser lunar glowed vibrantly on her ivory hair and the round blossoming garden bed. She smiled as she has a stand of flowers oddly connecting like a chain. It was only two inches and she was sitting gracefully with her handy-work.
"Here, you finish the rest. I was thinking of decorating for the new moon but we don't have enough flowers yet. Time for me to get some chores done okay, little brother?" The boy nodded and she gently passed the chain of flowers on his tiny palms. "Uh-huh, I 'll think of something." The girl sprinted down the hallway.
Time had passed, as one hour had flown away. The boy was holding his handiwork and entered the girl's bedchamber. She stood up, "Ishu, Ishu… finished!" She turned around and saw a perfect ring of flowers with her little brother giggled. "Sister… For you…"
The girl smiled and silver droplets of tears as she received the gift, "Brother, it's beautiful."
"Do you think it's good enough for the new moon?" The boy said sheepishly. "It looks pretty on you though. Like a crown…"
"Yeah, I could wear it in the new moon. It can be our own symbol of peace."
"The crown of peace…" The boy remembered what he read.
The two siblings hugged and the little boy gently kissed the sister on the cheek.
"We represent the pharaoh for peace. You must have been reading 'The Book of Y-meta', that text only speaks truth when you least expect it."
"Why do you say that sister?" The young boy inquired.
"Many prophecies did not come to pass. At least from the forefathers that wanted a sign for the coming of the ruler but doubts slowly conjured in our clan. I just hope it doesn't for us."
"Ishizu… stay strong okay… for me! The Ruler will come again and claim peace. There will be Equilibum…"
"Equilibrium…"
"Yeah that, equilibrium in the realm of light and of the shadows."
A.N: I'm super exited about this but I don't how far I'm going to write this. My previous one is on a very long hiatus... Downfall to Affection. Yeah it's a MarikOC story and there aren't many out there. Anyway review and if not I'll probably discontinue. I have a full time job and my life is occupied by that. ENJOY!
