~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Princess Serena Rose is the most beautiful woman in the whole wide

world. It was said that just one glimpse of her could make any

man fall in love and breathless. It didn't matter if they're

evil or good. She has long blonde hair that radiates like the

sun and eyes the color of the ocean. She has what you could call

an ideal body, a slender shoulder and curves in perfect places.

Though Serena is incredibly clever and intelligent she is oblivious

to her admirers and looks. She is awfully too kind for her own

being and cares for everybody no matter who you are.

Everybody in the palace knows that her mother was a goddess and ever since

she was born a powerful crystal was placed in her heart, which

was sustaining her life. The crystal could make anyone's wish come

true, rule the world you name it.

Her father, Ken worried about

his daughter tried to get rid of the crystal but finally they got

the conclusion that the only way the crystal would come out of her

willing is if she's dead. Now, really scared for her daughter's

life Ken hired the strongest powerful knight in the world.

His name is Darien Endymion Shields, his has silky black hair,

caressing warrior like shoulders and long neck. His skin was

darker than golden and his arms were massive and muscular. He

had an arrogant cut to his square jaw, hard, chiseled lips and

a well-shaped nose for his face. All in all he was any woman's

dream man, handsome and strongly built and at the same time gentle.

Ken knew that Darien would and could be able to protect his daughter

even if it means sacrificing his own life but he never knew that

this man could also capture his daughter's heart. The first time

they met they knew it was love at first sight. They could not keep

each other's eyes off the other and their heart would burst out

with joy when they're together. Darien knew he was falling in love

with her and more than ever he promised himself he would not let

anything happen to this loving woman. Serena, for once, thanked her

mother that she has crystal in her heart for without it she could

never have met her knight in shining Armour.

In just one week there were several attempts to end Serena's life

but like a knight in shining Armour Darien was there to give up his

life for her own. As fast as the attempts would go and come, their

feelings were also growing stronger and stronger. Their kiss was

like a fire that light up their desires, desire so enduring that

it brings sparkles in their eyes. Their love for each other were

known all over the world and was envied by the God's for true love

is truly amazing and rare. But they wonder, could and would it

last.

Craving some peaceful time to think about her feelings Serena went

out for some air. She stumbled slightly as she sat peacefully and

calmly on the hill watching the sun rise. ' A lot has happened

between Darien and I yet I feel like something is missing; it

seems like this isn't how it is supposed to end. What else could

possibly be missing, Darien loves me, I love him and were getting

married next week' Serena frowned at herself, why is she having

this doubts now she asked herself as she started to close her eyes.

Darien's brother, Trinity, not able to sleep conjured up a plan

to end Serena's life and his brother's luck. He had always been

jealous of his brother for getting all the easy breaks while he

gets the rough breaks. By using that crystal inside Serena's heart

he could rule the world and make his brother's life a living

nightmare.

" Look out Serena and Darien cause here comes the Devil, I've had

enough of getting ignored, it's my turn to have to the spotlight"

he said his eyes laughing as he imagined his brother begging him

to spare his life. Looking out of the window he saw his chance as

he saw Princess Serena lying on the hill in front of his balcony.

A perfect spot he thought grabbing his knife and running out to his

balcony.

Feeling unease, and cold Darien opened his eyes he find Serena

gone. " Where is she?" he asked himself while also trying to be

calm. Suddenly he felt her, peacefully sleeping yet it feels like

it won't last. Like it was going to end pretty soon. Panicking

Darien went out and smiled with relief as he saw Serena on the

hill sleeping. She look like an angel with the moon shining over

her, her hair turning into silver and her skin glowing.

He was about to walk slowly to her when he a shadow over her.

Looking up he saw his brother standing there at the balcony

throwing his knife at Serena's direction.

"SERENNNAAAAA......," Darien yelled running as fast as he could

to his love one blocking her from the knife. He did not scream as

he felt the knife stab him right at the heart but smiled slightly

seeing her princess safe from harm.

" Your going to be ok my love" he whispered.

Awoken by Darien's voice Serena opened her eyes to find Darien on

top of her cover in blood.

" Darien, speak to me, please," Serena said with unshed tears in

her eyes and bringing his head on her lap.

" I'm sorry my love, just don't forget me and I will always, always

love you,".

" Don't speak like that your going to be okay."

" I'm not sure this time my princess." Darien said closing his eyes

and kissing her one last time.

" DARRRRRRIEN" Serena screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

" I Love You, Don't leave me, PLEASE".

Everybody in the castle ran out, hearing her hysteric sobbing.

Serena looked up at Trinity with so much hatred that they thought

she would actually finish him off right there.

Still sobbing Serena grab the knife from Darien's chest gently

and slowly. She looked down at her love one last time and

whispered, " I will be with you again my love," before stabbing

herself with the knife.

Trinity watching all this ran outside and stood before the two

lifeless bodies and the crystal. He tried to grab it but the

crystal glowed a light blue color and turned him into a statue.

Afraid of what the crystal can do the king and his people watched

as the crystal blaze. They gasp as a puff of smoke appeared and

before they knew it Aphrodite GODDESS of LOVE AND BEAUTY was in

front of their princess and

her prince.

She looked at Trinity with pity in her eyes and said, " YOU Fool

only those who has a pure heart can hold and keep the power of

this crystal."

Looking at the two motionless bodies she smiled slightly.

" A love such as yours should and could never end and by using

this crystal and my power I will make your wished come true to be

together always and forever."

And so using the crystal and her powers the bodies emerged together

as one and turned into a bloody red flower with it's thorns sticking

out like a shield.

" This flower shall be named by your Princess, Rose and her thorns

are apart of her prince which will protect her from harm. This Red

Rose will symbolize their love for each other that never ended. Plant

it somewhere safe like you would to a seed and keep it healthy like

it is your daughter and your princess." Aphrodite said turning to the

King and his people.

Though the king and his people never did get over Serena's death they

did remember the question that used to linger on their minds when

ever they see the two lovers. Could and would their love last? Of

course it can, it is true love and true love is amazing and rare.
