Part1:
"Zan, Zan…Where are you?" Queen Elaina yelled looking for her son. She had been informed by the royal guards that her son was out wandering in the palace gardens. "Zan, Za..." Queen Elaina shouted until startled by her son popping out behind some bushes. "Don't do that..and why didn't you answer me?" Zan's mother asked sternly.
"Sorry mother I was just in deep thought," Zan answered sitting down on a nearby bench.
"So what has my son so puzzled?" Elaina asked sitting down next to him. "I don't know, I was just thinking about my future, what is going to happen, when it's going to happen, who it's going..." Zan trailed off and put his head down.
"Who it's going to be with, I thought you and Elizabeth were growing closer?" Elaina asked sympathizing wither her son.
"We were...I mean we are…I don't know mom, it just seems something is always getting in the way," Zan stated.
"Something or Someone..."Elaina asked.
Zan's head immediately popped up and he shook his head, "NO, there is no one else, only Elizabeth, I am not interested in anyone else." Zan stood up getting angry.
"Zan, I didn't mean to imply that...please calm down." Elaina whispered placing her hand on her son.
"Look, I know exactly what you were implying and who, but it is never going to happen, it never happened, she left, so that's it...it's finished, end of story, and I don't want you bringing it up again," Zan said and stormed off.
Elaina watched as her son walked off angry and she shook her head, "No son, that is where you are wrong, it is not the end of the story, your story is just beginning."

"Mother, Mother are you home?" a young petite blond called out as she stepped into the foyer of her house. It had been 4 years since Ava had gone away for school and now she was returning home.
"Ava darling, you're home," Lady Laurel ran to embrace her daughter. Finally Laurel let go of her daughter, "You're home early, we weren't expecting you for 3 more weeks."
"I know, but my professors let me take my finals early, so I could come home and I am so glad to be back." Ava replied hugging her mother again. "Where's Rath?" Ava asked pulling away from Laurel.
"Your brother said he was at the palace with Prince Zan, but I assume he is more likely with Princess Vilandra," Laurel said with a smile.
"So Rath finally followed my advice and went after her, good for him," Ava replied.
"Yes, and he is doing very well in the army, by the time Zan is king, Rath will probably be second in command," Laurel said with pride in her voice.
"It's amazing how much has changed in the 4 years that I've been gone, it seems like an eternity has passed," Ava said sadly.
"Oh you haven't missed that much," her mother said, "Now why don't you go over to the palace and visit your brother and Vilandra, they'll be ecstatic to see you."
"NO," Ava replied harshly.
"Well dear why not?" Laurel asked giving her daughter a suspicious look.
"Well I have tons of unpacking to do, I'll just see Rath later tonight." Ava then turned to walk up the stairs.
"You know darling you won't be able to avoid him forever," Laurel said calmly to her daughter.
This stopped Ava dead in her tracks, she then slowly turned to face her mother, "Maybe not, but I can try," and with that Ava bounded up the stairs out of her mother's sight.
