Forbidden Love: The Only Kind Worth Fighting For
Chapter 1 – Prologue
Two centuries ago, the Kandas and the Walkers were on fairly good terms. Both families were on their way to being powerful and wealthy because of all the hard work that was poured into their companies to obtain the status as rich, powerful and very important status. Simply put, prestigious.
The current Kanda that was alive at that time was blessed with some paranormal skills. Almost like a wizard in some cases. As he neared his deathbed, he imbued his magic properties into a lotus flower with all 50 petals and put it in an hourglass. He told his son to take care of this lotus and that one petal will fall every two decades, so the flower will die in about 1000 years. He hopes that flower will be passed down as a symbol to the family. His son solemnly agreed before he took his last breath and bid the world goodbye.
However, not long after the death of the Kanda that started the family's reputation from scratch, the lotus hourglass was reported missing. The son was very distraught. Especially after his wife brought news that she saw someone from the Walker family lurking around behind the Kanda Mansion.
They've even searched at the forest land behind the two mansions but failed to find anything.
Ever since then, the two families have been in conflict.
Two centuries later…
The Kandas and the Walkers are still living side by side in their respective mansions; both stubbornly refuse to move away from where their ancestors settled down, so they are forced to stay together. However, they are at least half a football field away from each other since their land is so huge. Of course, both families still have their companies doing well and keeping them on the top of the importance list, even after 200 years, and they were happy to keep it that way by continuing the family line.
To the left is the mansion belonging to the Kandas. It's more of a castle-like structure with a dark tint to the entire building. Whereas to the right, it's the mansion belonging to the Walkers. The structure is more modern compared to the Kandas even though both families had their homes renovated recently but still, failed to track down where the lotus hourglass was at.
The Kanda family consists of 5 people. Taka and Sora, parents of Taro and Yuu, their sons and Yui, their only daughter, ages 25, 21 and 17 respectively. All their hair colours were a beautiful ebony colour and eyes to match. Taka and Taro had cropped hair while Yuu had long hair almost till his waist, which would always be tied up with a white band, with side bangs of a shorter length and straight bangs till his eyes. Sora and Yui had longer hair than Yuu by a little and had grown their fringe till the same length as their hair. Of course their ancestor was Japanese before settling down here in England.
A standard tradition for the Kanda family was that the males were required to learn the art of swordplay.
The Walkers consists of 4 people. Mana and Hailey, parents to Allard, their son, and Allen, their only daughter, ages 25 and 18 respectively. While Allen had inherited Mana's hair as a pale brown, Allard had inherited his mother's hair, which is a brunette. Their ancestor was also a foreigner who was British.
Unfortunately for Allen, when she was just a few months old, one of her maids tripped on her step spilt the boiling hot water, which she was carrying, on her left arm, causing it to turn a blood red colour that covered almost her entire arm. Her parents were extremely upset and fired her immediately because that was already not the maid's first accident. (1)
The adults were all around their mid or late forties.
Even though the Kandas aren't directly native to their homeland anymore, their tradition of keeping a family heirloom is still passed down from generation to generation, causing the feud to extend within the ancestral line to drag longer and longer. But can the current generation end this feud that happened 200years ago?
(1)You can probably guess who she is huh? =D
A/N: A short chapter, sort of like an introduction so I'll be adding chapter 2 together with this =D
