CHAPTER 4: THE QUEEN'S INVITATION

"Eurora, before I read- how come I never heard about all of this?"

Eurora scratched the back of her head awkwardly. "Well, I guess only the monarchs were supposed to know. Gwerdyn wants you to know this now, and share it with others."

Kendra nodded understandingly. "Now, shall we?" she said, gesturing towards the paper.

Nervously, her eyes skimmed the page resting at the beginning line.

A Queen shall rise above all

Queitly waiting the Kingdom's call

Under her reign the realm will be

Eternal peace and certanity

Ethereal, glorious, and full of grace

New to all the Kingdom's space

She is to be age seventeen

Rise to defeat the evil king

With her knowledge, she holds the key

To all the doors of prosperity

Shall avenge an ancient being wronged

Wise and kind; open and keen

A fairykind she used to be

But now have powers and immortality

Called into the kingdom by royalty

Unknown, invisible, but one she can see

Will be the form of her enemy

Defending against all evil within

All her wars, she will win

With her love, she will overcome many

Rise against her ancient enemy

The kingdom's rise, enemies fall

A secret voice in the Underworld lulls

Shadow of Light will conquer all

The decision is made by the final faw

The end of the world is near

Unless my avenger intervenes, unless my avenger intervenes

Kendra looked up, an anxious feeling developing in the pit of her stomach. "Oh gosh, Rora, I think she choosing me. I fit all the criteria. You know I'm 17 and I'm also a fairykind."

Eurora looked up, alarmed. "But, there could be hundreds of fairykinds aged 17. Why you?

"Actually," Kendra whispered, shaking her head. "The Fairy Queen told me I was the only fairykind alive. The last one died 50 years ago."

It took a while to let those words sink in.

"What does her letter say?" asked Kendra, pointing to the last envelope left in Eurora's hand.

They read it together:

My dearest Kendra,

I know you have read my story and the prophecy. I am inviting you to be the next Queen, my heir so I may rest in peace, knowing that my kingdom is in capable hands. The benefits of being Queen are many. I can only list a few here.

Of course, there is immortality, as mentioned in the prophecy. You also have the power to grant immortality to others, anyone you wish. But, my dear, be careful with your choices. You will be the superior monarch over everyone, and all magical creatures will acknowledge you as their Queen, appointed by me.

The mission is that, you, Kendra, my chosen avenger, will find my enemy, Malderoat and finish him off for me. Of course, you will not be alone. If you accept, your best friend Eurora will be your companion and guardian for life… known as a Fairy Duchessa.

Will you accept the position of being the Light Guardian?

Yours truly,

Light Guardian
