Author's note: hey guys it's has been so long, I am so happy to get to write to you guys again, I guess I have been getting lazy, haven't I? *Rubs back of neck sheepishly*
Nevom: Glad you enjoyed the Diaspro and Bloom parts of the last chapter, and just so you know there is more to come with that *winks at you*
Anonymous: Rebel action, aye, well you will definitely get some in the future, not telling you when though, and thanks for the happy thanksgiving, man I should have made a story that day.
Guest (after Anonymous comment): Well I need to focus on my own school work, I have two projects to do and plus I don't want a chapter to have too information or there is no suspense.
Second Guest: Thank you for calling me an author, I was so happy to see that, and of course I will add some Brandon and Stella in there but I have to figure out whether or not I will be able to add the second part. We'll see.
Third Guest in a row: Awe thanks for saying my story is amazing, although if you have any advice for how to get Bloom and Sky together but not too quickly that would be extremely helpful.
WinxGuest: Thank you and I will definitely take your advice to heart.
Guest: Well here's the thing, Brandon sees Bloom as his little sister even if they are not related by blood so I can add that nickname but I will not drop little sis. Sorry but I just love the sibling kind of relationship that they have.
Guest02: Oh I am not stopping till I finish, that's a promise, I may take a while to update but I won't stop, never because I am not a quitter.
Isia1120: Thank you for being happy about my stories and I am glad that you enjoy them, give me any advice or anything you want to happen in the story if you come up with anything.
Thanks everybody and I hope that cleared up some confusion and some of your request. Thanks for reading this story and you know I don't own winx club.
The breeze began to pick up in speed as my hair blew softly in the wind; we were all standing up front or at the front of the palace. King Erendor, Queen Samara, Prince Sky, Brandon, Brandon's mom and dad, and his little sister, Callie all stood at the very front. Behind them the rest of the girl and I stood in a line as guards seemed to surround us, watching the sky and watching the land. Two royal families on one planet can signal an attack from rebels, even now security was extremely tight. Solaria guards and Eraklyon guards greeted each other warily, they all had the same mission, and everything needed to remain in order. One wrong move on our part could lead to an attack. My eyes darted everywhere, other than the sky which held the approaching ship wearing the Solaria royal family crest, a sun and moon surrounded by complex patterns.
I was wearing a welcoming color that was a dark green silk that was bright but not too bright to be considered neon. My hair was held up in a fancy up do and curls framed my face. The wind blew harshly as we all stepped back in almost sync as the aircraft landed. The royal family stepped down from the craft after the guards, up front was King Radius and Queen Luna, then Stella stepped down wearing a gold and silver gown and her hair held in a side braid that complemented her features making her look like the pure sun. Queen Luna and Queen Samara embraced each other with bright smiles on their faces while King Radius and King Erendor firmly shook hands. Stella and Sky hugged in a friendly manner as I saw out of the corner of me eye the girls all glare at her momentarily, including her cousin Celeste. I rolled my eyes as Stella hugged Brandon and they held onto each other for a few extra moments before he kissed her forehead and bowed to King Radius and Queen Luna.
Queen Luna smiled softly at her daughter before she glanced down the line of girls, she smiled at me and I smiled back. Stella also found me and with a squeal she raced towards me and we hugged again, "Hey Bloomy" She chirped as we began to turn to walk to the palace, leading the crowd in, "So how have you been?' She questioned with a raised eyebrow. I rolled my eyes as she grinned and soon I found Diaspro and Chimera in front of us.
"Oh if it isn't princess Stella of Solaria." Diaspro said with a fake smile as Chimera snickered behind her hand and Stella rolled her eyes but fake smiled anyways.
"If it isn't the group of sluts, tell me where is my cousin, did she ditch you, tell Aunty Stella." Stella said mockingly with a slight pout as Diaspro did one of her many faces, "Oh sweetie you have something really nasty on your face." Stella said as Diaspro pulled out her compact mirror out of one of the weirdest places ever. Like honestly what the hell, who the fudge keeps a compact mirror in their bra? Apparently Diaspro does.
She scanned her face and then looked up at Stella, "I don't see anything on my face. Chimera what is she talking about, is there something on my face?" She asked turning to Chimera as she shook her head signaling a no.
Stella laughed as I giggled slightly, "Sweetie there is something nasty around here." She said and gestured to her entire face as Diaspro glared at her but yet again she still does not know how to do even that. Her face wrinkles up like a Grandma; no it actually is worse than that. No offense to all Grandmas' out there, but anyways her nose wrinkles up and her face just does something really weird that I can't tell if it is a pig or a person.
"Whatever Stella, I heard that you are dating a squire instead of a prince. Good god I don't even know why Solaria would rather have you as a princess instead of me." Chimera said as she curled a dark blue hair around her bony ash white fingers, are they skeletons or something? I mean seriously hands should not look like that.
Stella was about to respond but we were cut off by Prince Sky and Brandon approaching us, Chimera actually had the audacity to wink suggestively and her version of flirtatiously at Brandon and Diaspro giggled and winked at Sky. Are these people trying to give me nightmares, I mean seriously? "Hey girls." Sky said as he stood beside me and Brandon wrapped an arm around Stella as she stuck her tongue out at Chimera.
"Hey guys." I greeted as Sky slung an arm around me and Diaspro gave me one of her most famous weird and seriously ugly faces. "So what's the game plan?" I asked as Sky and Brandon shared a glance.
"Well" Stella began as she wiggled out of Brandon's grasp, "We are having a masquerade ball, and it is going to be so amazing." Stella said as she smiled brightly, "Come on Bloom I want to meet these best friends/maids of yours." She said and dragged me off before Sky could even say a word. I almost felt bad for the boys because they have to escape chimera and Diaspro.
"Stella you do realize that we just left Sky and Brandon with Diaspro and Chimera." I said as Stella giggled and I cast her a sideways glance but didn't ask why. Finally we arrived at my room that had two guards outside the door, a Solaria guard and an Eraklyon guard. Staff had been doubled for our safety and the safety of the royals.
Danielle, Morgan, and Mallory curtsied when they saw Stella and I smiled lightly as they guided us to the wardrobe and Mallory opened the wardrobe and pulled out two gowns, one was a dark blue color and the other was a light purple color, "Those are absolutely gorgeous Mallory." Stella said with a squeal, "but there is one thing missing" she added and she waved her hand and on the back of the dresses wings grew and the front of the dress length shortened a little bit.
"Oh they are beautiful Princess Stella." Morgan said in awe as she started to gather our make up for the ball, "Now let's see what would look great on you." She said and scanned Stella before she turned to me and scanned me, she got some dark blue eyeshadow and dark purple eyeshadow.
"Alright ladies, Stella you go with Morgan and Bloom you go with Mallory." Danielle said in a slightly commanding tone that would make me think that she is the head maid; she should be that because she just has it in her to. Stella and I complied anyways, and to my shock the purple dress was for me and the blue dress was for Stella. Mallory put on a golden necklace and gave me some purple heels, the dress was gorgeous on me and she straightened my hair and put on a multi colored purple mask.
Finally they left to give us room to chat as we both looked in the mirror; the dress complemented my features nicely and made me look like a true princess, Stella grabbed my shoulders, "Bloom you look like a true princess." Stella said with a smile as I smiled at her, she place a golden crown on my head that had a dark blue gem in the middle with pink gems on the side and the golden part had diamonds in it that looked beautiful in the light, she turned me around and then smiled her approvement, "How do I look?" She asked with a smile and turned around for me to see.
"Stella you look like the sun and the moon." I complemented as she smiled and placed her own gold and blue mask on that has a gold feather on it, "Now we're ready to party." I said and we both giggled, I sighed, "I wish Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Aisha were here." I said in a wishful tone.
Stella sighed, "Me too, but just imagine how much fun we will have at the ball." Stella said twirling around the room wearing her tiara proud on her head. I giggled as we walked to the door with our masks on and exited the room. The hallways were swarmed with maid and guards, maids were dashing from place to place with fabrics in their hands. I looked at Stella with a raised eyebrow and she mirrored my actions.
Later on that night Stella and I were leaning against the wall by the drinks, all of the ladies were chattering with each other, and some were swept up into a dance by some of the gentlemen of the court. Music played in the corner of the room by the thrones. Prince Sky sat on his throne looking around the room with a bored expression on his face, he was wearing a dark blue royal outfit and Brandon stood beside him wearing a green outfit similar to Sky's. He glanced around the room, eyeing the girls and then his eyes landed on me and our eyes locked.
Perhaps it had been seconds or maybe minutes but the next thing I knew he was bowing before me as I curtsied and we were swept up into a dance. I smiled in content already feeling the glares aimed at me from all of the other girls as we glided across the polished floor, "Hey Bloom" Sky said twirling me around with a smile on his face, "I love the purple on you, and it suits you." He said as he placed his hand on my back.
I giggled, "Well, your highness, my maids suggested it. So how did you find me through the crowd?" I asked as he beamed brightly, I had to hold back my giggle, out of the corner of my eye I caught Stella's glance as she was swept up into a dance with Brandon, but she winked at me before turning to talk to Brandon.
"I have seen you long enough to know what you look like." Sky said charmingly, "Besides you were just waiting for me to dance with you, weren't you." He teased as I laughed at his adorable expression.
"Oh you wish your highness." I said as the song ended and I glanced around the room, seeing Diaspro glare at me and I just stuck my tongue out at her, if she can do the same thing than why can't I? I giggled as I turned to face Sky again and he raised an eyebrow, "So how have you been with the other girls?" I asked curiously as he laughed.
"Is that jealousy I spy?" He joked as I hit his arm playfully and he chuckled, "Well they all are just too much for me, all though I do kind of like Glenn, she is very sweet." He said and then he held a hand up to silence my protest, "Don't even try to tell me otherwise." He said seriously.
I sighed, "Fine." I said turning to leave, "I shouldn't keep you all night, go ahead and dance with Glenn." I said bitterly as I walked away and he soon caught up to me without even running.
"You can't be mad at me, you did ask." He said with a careless shrug, "I will talk to you later tonight Bloom." He said bowing before he walked away. How can he leave it like that? I thought as I walked over to the table containing drinks and grabbed some dark purple colored wine before starting to sip it. The flavors exploded inside my mouth, wine was ok for fairies but not so much because it causes our magic to go haywire.
"Hey Bloom." Stella said as she and Brandon walked over, "I saw that you were dancing with Sky earlier." She said wiggling her eyebrows as she reached the table, "Ok spill, what is going on between you two?" She demanded as she slung an arm over my shoulder.
Brandon raised an eyebrow at Stella but did not stop her from her antics, "Ok Stell, can we talk about this later or the media and those girls over there will have my head." I said motioning to the girls across the room as Stella rolled her eyes with a pout but nodded anyways.
Stella and Brandon started to dance again, I was kind of bored right now, wishing or perhaps hoping that someone could sweep me off my feet. Occasionally I would sip the wine in my hand or nibble on a small little cake, out of the corner of my eye I saw a smirking Diaspro lean against the wall beside me, "Aren't you enjoying this, Sky wants nothing to do with you. Perhaps you should give up before I take sky just like I took Andy from you." I heard her say, how dare she even try that, she should not act like that if she so desperately thinks she will be Queen.
"I have no time for your petty simple comments Lady Diaspro, and if I won't win than why do you insist on trying to get under my skin. Unless you are threatened by where I stand with Sky." I said coldly as her expression faltered but she smirked smugly anyway before sauntering away back to the crowd. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her mediocre childish games.
Instead of continuing my trail of thought I looked around the room, people were smiling cheerfully in celebration, I faintly wondered what they were celebrating but perhaps they will tell us later. I looked up at the chandelier as it seemed to glisten under the stars that shown so brightly outside. Suddenly I felt uncomfortable, this environment wasn't me and it just seemed like those fairytales that I read on earth. I glanced around before grabbing another golden colored glass of wine and a cake before slipping outside on the balcony.
I gazed up at the stars and the two moons that seemed so surreal as they were almost side by side but an indivisible force held them apart. The balcony leaned over the gardens and even at night they were beyond gorgeous with the river that flowed through the land and glistened under the moonlight, even beneath the balcony there was a pool like area that had a waterfall. The flowers seemed to glow into a rainbow of colors against the dark green leaves; stardust lit the ground as it seemed to sparkle once I looked at it. I leaned over and smelled the red rose in the pot that was so simple yet so beautiful, the rose smelled almost heavenly as I heard a subtle cough behind me.
Startled I turned around but felt a smile pull on my lips when I saw Sky step out of the shadows with an amused smirk on his face. He walked across the balcony to lean on the railing beside me, "So why is a gorgeous lady like you out here all alone?" He asked and I could hear the teasing tone in his voice.
I blushed and ducked my head so he would not see the red that stained my cheeks, "What is the prince doing out here? Was the party too much for you?" I asked as he smiled relaxed, I mentally smiled, I know that I feel something for him but I don't know what.
He sighed, "It is too crowded in there and with none of the women I want to dance with falling at my feet." He said with a wink, "Seriously I don't even know how many times I have zoned out on them droning on and on about themselves. Well at least the ones I have danced with, other than you of course." He added as we both laughed at his uncomfortable face.
I smiled up to the sky, "Well Sky I am not sure how I should feel about that, so why are they hosting a ball anyways?' I asked as I scooted closer to him unknowingly and he smiled at the sudden change of attitude.
He laughed, "It's to celebrate the forth coming of fall and what better than to celebrate on Eraklyon." He said, for some reason a sinking feeling rose in my stomach. Something is wrong my gut instantly told me, he smiled but frowned seeing my worried face, "What's wrong Bloom?" He asked and I could hear the concern lacing his tone.
I shook my head to clear it as the sinking feeling grew rapidly, instead of responding I turned to the forest edge and my eyes scanned it for something, anything. Something in a swift of movement moved from the trees and crept along the rose bushes, I pushed Sky back and he opened his mouth to protest but I gave him a look, we crouched down, in dress and all, "Something in my gut is telling me that something is wrong." I whispered almost inaudibly, "Unless there are people lurking among your gardens." I added sarcastically.
"What?" He said rather loudly, I shushed him by placing my finger to his lips and listened to the sound of footsteps beneath the waterfall or by the waterfall.
"The Solarians are here, now is the perfect time to attack Sire." A voice hissed out like a serpent and I raised an eyebrow at it in confusion as Sky paled.
"That is good, very good Serpetia." A deep voice said as I felt the hairs on my neck stand on edge and the dragon within me was curling inside me, ready to fight but I couldn't fight off the familiarity the dragon had at that voice. "Call forth the men and attack, be sure to kill those blasted fools this time." He ordered as I heard her slip away into the shadows.
I peeked over the edge to see him smirk to himself before me and Sky crept inside the building and silently shut the door, "We have to tell somebody Sky." I said the moment the door was shut; he was pacing across the floor rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"If we tell then people will panic." Sky countered rather quickly, I sighed exasperated, I ran my fingers through my hair and started to pace with my eyes narrowed.
I looked at him, "And if we don't tell, then they will be dead." I argued, Sky could not argue back so he sighed and we hurried down the corridor.
The ball room was still packed and people were smiling and chatting like nothing abnormal was going on, I felt a pang of guilt for these poor people. Sky raced off to his parents and I followed, they smiled once they saw us but their smiles dropped seeing the graveness on our faces, "What's the matter?" King Erendor asked as he stood, worry flickering in his eyes.
I opened my mouth to speak but Sky beat me to it, "Dad the rebels are about to attack." He said quietly in a hushed tone not to worry the people as the King and Queen both stood with worry on their faces.
"Son we need to get everyone to safety, now go." King Erendor said swiftly, "Guards." He boomed and every guard rushed forth as the other people lingered confused, "Get everyone to a safety room." He completed his sentence as they gasped but complied, each guard grabbing twenty people and escorting them out of the room. The only people left were King Erendor, Queen Samara, Prince Sky, Brandon, Stella, and me. King Radius and Queen Luna were the first to leave.
I locked eyes with Stella and saw the fear in her eyes; Brandon hugged her to try to calm her down as she paled a bit. Suddenly my gut feeling told me that they have to run now, "You have to go now." I spoke for the first time to the King and Queen, they nodded and they ran down the hallway with their weapons drawn, I pretended to join everyone as they entered the safety room and they ran down.
I have no idea what happened but one minute I was there and the next I was forcefully thrown across the room, crashing into the wall causing a crack to appear, I closed the door with magic as a woman with green tinged skin and dark green hair and cruel gold eyes stood before me. I stood up quickly but feel to me knees when the weakness inside of me kicked in. I heard other voices and she attacked me and the last thing I saw was that she was fleeing down the hall throwing an angered expression over her shoulder before everything went black.
My eyes fluttered open and I gasped at the fact that I was floating above the stars or so it seemed. I looked around the room not recognizing where I was, I never have had a dream like this. It was almost like the dream Annabeth claimed to have in her diary. Finally the last events that happened to me caught up to me, I gasped covering my face with my hand. How in the great dragon did I get here I thought.
Nothing was happening I was just seemingly floating as somehow wind picked up and I started to glow as the wind spun around me like a tornado. I gasped in awe and looked around seeing a glowing orb exit my body. I covered my eyes as a blinding light filled the area that seemed like the stars.
Finally the light died down and I moved my arm that was covering my sight, but I saw a dragon that glowed orange with scales like fire, he was beautiful. It took a second for it to click in my mind who he was but when it did I gasped covering my mouth in shock. The Great Dragon, how is it possible that he is here.
"The Great Dragon." I breathed astonished, he was so beautiful, I couldn't get over how big he really was, he could wrap around a planet one hundred times, he was humungous. "How are you here?" I stuttered as he smiled down on me like I was a child that he adored.
He let out a rumble which surprisingly didn't shake the stars, "Ah Bloom, that question is for later. You keep my breath inside of your heart, no." He said as he crouched down to me, he looked down at me, "Damned height, why are you people so short." He joked as I giggled and floated up to him.
"What do you need?" I asked as I stared into his eyes once I reached that point, he sighed which was quite nerve-racking, something was wrong if he seemed so deeply upset, "You contacted me to tell me something, is there something wrong? What has happened?" The questions started to float out of my mouth as he smiled slightly and I blushed kind of embarrassed.
"Child, Annabeth reacted the same way when I came to her in her time of need, I haven't come to anyone in quite some time, and I came to your sister Daphne once when she handed over the Dragon Flame to you." He said smiling at the memory.
I gasped astonished, why would he come to her if she no longer possessed the power, "What did you tell her?" I asked softly.
"I told her that she had completed her fate as the Dragon Flame keeper." He said, "Now child I come with you with grave news. I am sorry that I cannot fully see what your future holds; your future is a mystery to me. But a prophecy that I once told to Annabeth is your fate." He said and I gulped down my fear.
"What is the prophecy?" I asked inaudibly but he heard and nodded. He transferred the message to my head and I grabbed it in pain at receiving the message.
Darkness swirls across his fingers
He fights the battle that leaves blood drawn
He will rise from the ashes of pure death
Wreak havoc on a planet
As bodies drop like leaves
As she rises on the light
With a fire burning so bright inside of her
She will sacrifice her life for the world of magic
And finally the flowers will bloom on the dead planet
Of ice and snow
Only then will she be saved and find her love
Annabeth must have thought it was Ciaran and that it was her fight, but is it truly my fight, my planet is of ice and snow, will my death save my planet. I silently pondered, as if he read my thoughts, "Sweet child there is a book that has the fate of everyone of Domino, and it must have your own because not even I know the end of your battle with him if you fit the prophecy." He said in a saddened manner.
He started to flash and fade from the stars around us, "Where are you going?" I asked as worry seeped into my voice, and he smiled warmly at me.
"Everything will be ok bloom, I will see you soon." He said before he returned to the flames and it floated back to my chest and the wind blew harshly around me.
I could hear the darkened whispers around my and covered my ears and slammed my eyes shut in gear. Suddenly I was falling, and falling fast. I couldn't find my voice and I couldn't see the ground.
I sat up abruptly from the floor; I rubbed my head as it started to pound and instantly saw the bodies of the fallen soldiers. My eyes filled with tears as I covered my mouth to stop the tears from falling, the destruction was horrible. Who could do this to someone? What kind of cruel person does this, hurts people to prove a point? I stumbled over the rubble that surrounded me and saw that the safety room was looming before me dented and attacked.
Seems whatever tried to get through didn't make it, I started to walk around and saw that many were wounded, unconscious or even dead. It is so horrible, a guard stumbled to me on his crutch, he was so exhausted, "Miss Bloom have you seen the royals/' He asked sternly.
I shook my head, "I was attacked." I explained, "They got to safety, I made sure of that, but I can't get to them, here let me take you there." I said as he nodded his head and we walked down the hallway, "It is so terrible." I said quietly.
He sighed with a nod, "Many of us were lost and much of the palace is destroyed but none of the girls were harmed or the King and Queen of Solaria, they are worried for Princess Stella who I assume was with them." He said as I nodded and we walked to the door in silence, "Seems they knew that they were here." He mused to himself as he opened the door, "Hello?" He called out.
He walked down the staircase and I followed him, the king and queen were wide awake and they hugged me once they saw me, the rest of them were sleeping, "We were so worried when we turned and saw that the door was being destroyed." Queen Samara said fretting over me like I was her own daughter.
"I am so sorry that I made you worry like that." I said apologetically and she laughed before she pulled me in for a hug to my surprise.
"We're glad you are safe now." King Erendor said as he started to talk to the guard who was leaning on his crutch to support himself.
"Bloom!" Stella yelled once she woke up, she ran over to me and swept me up into a hug, "Don't you ever make me worry like that again, that was almost as bad as you facing off with Valtor or the Water Stars." Stella chided me as I smiled at her.
"I'm glad you guys are ok." I said once I walked around, "How are Brandon and Sky?" I asked softly as she smiled.
"They're fine bloom." She slung an arm over my shoulder, "They were so worried about you, Sky was freaking out with worry and wanted to bust the door down because he thought you did that on purpose." She said, "Did you?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
I shook my head, "No I didn't Stell." I said, "When you guys got in something blasted me back but I shut the door and saw a woman with snake like skin, she knocked me out and then I woke up in front of the door." I almost mentioned the part about the Great Dragon but she would just call me crazy or say I hit my head too hard.
"Bloom" Brandon and Sky said in union as they got up and gave me hugs, "little sis, you don't ever scare me like that." Brandon said as he gave me a warning look which I sheepishly grinned at.
Soon I was back in my room in a blur of movement, from them checking people all day and fixing up the palace. Add to that the fact that the Solaria royals did not stay long after Stella was found, sure it was sad but they were doing what was best for their nation and their planet. The girls were dismissed back to their rooms and the guards were healed swiftly so they now sit with two outside the door. I was seated on the bed with the maids passed out on the floor; they were exhausted from the full day of worry and sadness.
I grabbed the Domino book and opened it up, seems that she stopped writing after her latest entry until about two years later. I held the candle closer with my hands shaking unconsciously.
Diary,
It has been so long since I last wrote, the kingdom was built and Ciaran is still out there but he has not attacked for over a year now. I am married off to the love of my life and my other half in every single way, Anthony was the younger prince of solaria and is now my husband. From his golden hair to his tan skin but his strikingly dark blue eyes flecked with gold. We fell in love at a gala to celebrate me becoming the Queen of Domino. We married a year ago and now have a beautiful baby girl with golden hair and red highlights with my eyes, she is beautiful and I sense a magic inside of her like mine but a little bit stronger than what I have.
It is a bright and sunny day today, I have not heard from Calvin since I left, today it seems that it was a small girl crush not love that I thought it was. Amelia, my daughter, is beautiful, more beautiful than anything I have ever seen before. Hunter and Veronica have yet to reach out to us since I left also, seems she was not my real sister if she chose to betray me when I needed her help the most.
I was woken today by the sound of Amelia crying throughout the room, I held her and rocked her softly until she quieted down. Anthony soon woke up and smiled with an embrace, I love him so much that I would do anything for him. My brother and sister in law don't really like me since they think I stole Anthony from them. Cecelia and George are their names, Cecelia has light orange hair and tan skin with honey colored eyes and George has golden hair with honey colored eyes.
I wish that they did like me but perhaps they will soon enough, it seems the King and Queen of Eraklyon on enraged with me with their new rebels attack. King Clarkson and Queen Amberley are insane to think I would wage war with my daughter's life on the line. I'll be damned if they think that they can accuse me of their problems. Domino is like any other kingdom but it seems to flourish more than I have ever seen it.
Queen Chloe of the Earth fairies is afraid I believe, I think one of her sages have seen something that horrifies her terribly. She is withdrawn and distant focusing more on her son Prince Thomas. I sure hope that I can help her she is the youngest Queen of us, she was my first friend in this as was the Queen of Lynphea, Aurora, and she is a kind woman I do believe. The King and Queen of Andros are just there, they don't really care much for any of our quarrels with each other but more of running their dry and wet land.
I received a threat today from Eraklyon, they want our children in an arranged marriage, why would my daughter be forced to marry a man that she may not love, they have three kids and the one they want married off to my daughter is the son of a guard. They appear to be close friends and assume that my daughter will want such things. She is not even one, we meet in two weeks' time to discuss what our planets and kingdoms will have.
The words the sage spoke to me before she died keep ringing in my head every night I sleep, I am tired and kind of sad and only my husband knows of my sadness. My dreams of the Great Dragon are gone and my husband believes I saw something but some do not, such as Solaria and Eraklyon. Perhaps they should arrange a marriage between their kids if they want their second son married off.
I thank the Great Dragon for helping me to get this far, thank you Great Dragon and thank you for saving me from the darkness and guiding me to the light.
-Annabeth
I closed the book and blew out the candle as I stared at the stars before I curled up under the covers as Kiko hopped on my shoulder. I was so happy when I saw him safe and sound after the rebel attack. I cuddled him staring at the ceiling before sleep overcame me.
