Chapter 1
A long time ago a war had started between all of the minor gods and goddesses leaving the ones with more power torn between both sides. In order to maintain peace
stay neutral , the 7 higher gods moved their court to a place then known as Tranquiltity. When the gods arrived it was brought to them the fact that "the humans",
whose lives that they controlled and set out were not dimwitted. In fact, much to their suprise, they were much like the gods in a few aspects. When the humans found
out that gods were amoung them, they begged the gods to help them establish peace on Tranquility. For years, the humans had bickered amoung each other and had no
way to govern themselves, and only had the essentials of living. They also barely survived in the harsh conditions of the land. Taking pity on them and comparing them
sadly to themselves, the 7 higer gods divided the land into 7 kingdoms. Mars created Sedorsia, Venus created Torsia, Jupiter created Rebursia, Mercury created Alysia,
Athena created Latsyria, Terra created Hilorsia, and Selena (the most powerful) created Numersia. Afterwords the gods helped the humans learn how to tend to crops,
how to cook food, how to make shelters, ect. And after that they created a system of government, and helped establish a flourishing trade between the 7 kingdoms. In
time, war died down between the minor gods, and the 7 higher gods had no choice but to leave Tranquility, which was now know as the 7 kingdoms. To maintain peace,
the offspring of the 7 higher gods remained in the 7 kingdoms, each helping the kingdom that their fathers and mothers had helped establish, becoming the Kings and
Queens. They were all close friends, and all lived in the palace of Numersia, the largest kingdom and most thriving. But in time, fate seperated them and the generations
that decended them came to rule. All kingdoms were at peace with one another, but where ever there are people, there are greedy and evil people who will stop at
nothing to gain the throne. It was then that chosen decendants of the 7 higher gods (called guardians) that held great power themselves tapped into the powers of their
ansestors to defend the 7 kingdoms. This has happened only 1 time in the past, and any witnesses besides the descendants themselves had their memories wiped by the
gods. Now, the one powerful and peaceful kingdom Numersia has scubbled into darkness by the plotting of powerful, evil, and greedy people. One woman set on
revenge has taken over and has destroyed the peace of the 7 kingdoms, awakening the power of the guardians to be born in another generation. These guardians hold
the key to a peaceful future in the 7 kingdoms and if they do not suceed, the entire future falls into chaos. And this is where the fight begins...
"Lily…?" asked a petite young woman worriedly to her companion, while leaning against the hard black wall behind her in the palace of Numersia. The taller of the two,
Princess Lilliana of Latsyria bit her bottom lip, clearly in deep thought.
"Serena, I don't know what to say. Are you sure you heard correctly?" Lilliana asked staring intensely at the younger girl's blue eyes silently begging for what she said to not be
true.
"Lily, you know my step-mother has my father wrapped around her little finger. What she wants, she gets. I.." Princess Serenity nervously stared down at her feet, as if finding the
fact that she had on satin slippers was particularly interesting. "Look Serena, the 'Queen' has no right at all to claim the throne for Prince Phillip. Even though she technically is
Queen right now, she is only Queen because she married your father and Phillip is Prince because of this marriage, he is not of royal blood. Even if you're father decided to pass the
throne to Phillip it would surely cause an uprising or rebellion. I am pretty sure that-" she was cut off sharply by Serena. "Lily, I really don't care about this piece of news, what I
care about is what my father said about the allegiance of the 7 kingdoms. I can not possibly believe that we are going to war"
"WHAT? Why did you not tell me that?" questioned Lilliana turning around sharply.
Serena groaned. "I did tell you, but you were very much in your own world after I told you about Phillip claiming the thone"
"Oh.. sorry." After a few minutes of silence Serena spoke again. " Isabella used to tell me about a time when all 7 kingdoms were at peace, Right now, it seems as if our kingdom
is only at peace with yours"
"That is true, our kingdom is also only at peace with yours too. It seems as if our fathers want to wage a war over nothing." "Actually, it is over something." Serena had begun to
twist a long stand of blonde hair that feel lose from the two buns on top of her head around her finger.
"Well… what is it? Spit it out already!" Lilliana stared at Serena with her soft sea-blue eyes pretending to look impatient. Serena just giggled softly, the giggles echoing in the empty
halls. "Oh, Lily you are so impatient, you make me laugh sometimes. Well.. The truth is my step-mother was the one that brought up war. After listing several thing that I doubted
were true about Hilorsia your father and mine were simply so overcome with anger that they called a session of nobles and declared war"
"I really would hate to go to war with Hilorsia, from what all of the maids said that have been there, it is simply beautiful and filled with joy to be exact, much unlike… our homes."
Serena stared off into the distance and silently noted that her friend was very true. The palace seemed to be built around darkness, the walls were painted black with occasional
silver stripes, and the floors were cool black marble. After all(unsurprisingly), it was her step- mothers favorite color. Not only were the actual furnishings dark and gloomy, there
was an unpleasant feeling that hung in the air, that made most of it's inhabitants feel tense.
"Serena, do you mind if I tell my sisters?" asked Lilliana suddenly, interrupting Serena's thoughts. "Of course, I would tell them myself, but I am afraid that they will catch on to the
fact that you think that my step- bother is charmingly handsome, and irresistible, and sexy, and-." Serena replied playfully before her friend cut her off.
"Hey!" Lilliana smacked Serena playfully on the shoulder her lips curved into a full smile. "As much as I would love to continue, I am getting really tired and a girl needs her beauty
sleep." yawned Serena after they had smacked each other a few more times.
"Of course, I almost forgot about your favorite activity. No wait a second, that was eating-" before Lillian could finish the sentence Serena had smacked Lilliana, and the two
began another round of smacking. After a few more moments, they each remembered that it was very late and that they would wake people up with their noise and the parted
separate ways to their chambers. Serena went to the right and Lilliana to the left. Serena left thinking about the fun times that the two of them (who had grown up together) shared.
She also remembered the timed that she shared with Lilliana's other two sisters, Marielle and Isabella. As Serena reached the door of her room she yanked it open and quickly
changed into her nightgown, a soft silk gown that was pearly white. Yawning, Serena undid the two buns on the top of her head and let her silky blonde hair fall down. She walked
over to her bed and let herself in while pulling the silky black covers over her head. She closed her eyes gently and turned over, all thoughts quickly slipping form her mind as her
mind slipped into blissful sleep.
