Being a princess people would think that I would have a perfect life. Well I didn't. I wasn't the princess of a beautiful land with knights in shining armor. I was a princess of a war torn planet. Where as soon as you could walk you were sent to battle training. And being the princess I was supposed to be able to lead them into battle. But my parents wouldn't let me. They said that I was their little girl, and that an army is not where I belonged. They left that to Blackfire and my brother Wildfire. But there was a problem.
Blackfire couldn't fly like the rest of us. She had been born without the ability to generate the sun's power. She forced me not to tell. She said if I did the council wouldn't let her be queen. They would say that a ruler cannot lead them into battle if she/he couldn't fly. They say it's a weakness, and f someone isn't able to fly that they should stay home away from everyone else. I didn't want this to happen to my sister so I kept quiet.
But that still didn't save her. The council still found out and took her right to the throne with them. Instead, they gave it to my brother. He was a better warrior than me, and usually the male gets the right to the throne first. The only reason that Blackfire got it first was that she was a good fighter, and she was two years older than him. But when they took her rightful place she grew hateful. She started to grow mean and jealous. Often sneaking in to the fighting practices just to not fall behind, and she would fight with me and Wildfire in a violent manner more and more. It grew bad enough to where she wasn't allowed to communicate or see anyone at all. And that's how she snuck out.
When she was sent to her room for life she ran away. She ran to our greatest enemies, the Gordanians. She told them about our weaknesses, and how to to get through our defenses. Because of this she caused our planet to go to war. And even after all of our training we weren't ready for this attack. We couldn't defeat them. They knew to much about our weaknesses for us to do much. Our once beautiful planet, is now a barren desert with only the castle and a few houses left standing.
My parents tried to make peace, they would do anything to save our planet. But the Gordanians only wanted one thing. Me. Blackfire had told them about me. How I was never given battle training, and how always did what I was told. And they saw me as the perfect slave. My parents tried to give them something else, anything but their little girl, but they didn't want it. And eventually they did give me away. But I took their hearts with me, because not one week later, they both died of grief. And before they did they sent Wildfire away to a distant planet, a planet they only knew about. So the throne was open for Blackfire, she could take it. However, the Gordanians betrayed her as she betrayed Tamaran. Thye took her prisoner as well. Now, we were both slaves. And this all happened before I nine.
