Storm – Part Two
Lightning flashed, illuminating the crystal hallways of the palace. King Endymion sat with the golden haired queen curled up in his lap. Serenity jumped at the loud rumbling of thunder overhead. Lightning shattered the sky, its fingers of white hot energy crawling over the city in the dark night air. The door to the room burst open as a pink blur ran and wedged itself in between the two monarchs.
Endymion laughed in his mind as Rini ducked underneath the silky comforter that was wrapped around Serenity and himself. Thunder clapped, ear piercingly loud. Endymion embraced the frightened pink-haired princess while Serenity buried her head in the crock between his own head and shoulder.
Reassuring his daughter and wife he smiled to himself, thinking of all the times he had done this in both his past as Darien and Endymion. He swore to himself that no matter how long Serenity had been on this planet, she would always, always hate storms.
