Jotham, Silveran Capital
2030Driving her fists into the punching bag in the training court did nothing to ease the bitterness in Hazel's heart. She felt so angry and betrayed. Deep down, she knew she didn't have the right to be mad at Yuka for kissing someone else because they weren't even in a relationship.
She exhaled slowly, sweat dripping down the sides of her face. Frustrated, she let out an angry yell and began to punch the punching bag fiercely.
"What the heck, Hazel? Take it easy" Caden said as he gripped the punching bag. He stood opposite Hazel who was glaring daggers at him, her chest heaving.
"Why are you so angry?" He asked and she turned away from him, picking up a towel. "Won't you say anything?" He asked, moving away from the punching bag. "As a matter of fact, I don't want to talk to you or anyone, right now" she sta
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Hazel couldn't believe what she'd just heard. The numbness that swept over her was unexpected. In fact, she stared at Yuka, stunned to silence. The beautiful man in front of her was engaged to another woman. Hazel had never hated the word 'fiancee' so much, until this moment. "I'm sorry, Hazel. This just isn't something that can be helped" Yuka said, gazing at Hazel who stared at him with wide brown eyes. "She's your fiancee?" She breathed and Yuka sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Yes" "So, this is it? This is where it all ends?" She said, her voice cold. Yuka felt his heart sink. "Hazel..." "You can leave now," Hazel stated calmly. Her expression was nothing short of schooled. Silently, he walked right through the door, his heart hurting. He felt absolutely terrible. He felt like the situation had gone from bad to worse. But, it was time to face the reality he'd been running away from. Now, he had to figure out his marriage with Anya
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 "Look me in the eyes, Hazel" Yuka breathed and she stiffened. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't hate me. Tell me how you really feel about me," he said and she squeezed her eyes shut, her heart aching.Hazel gazed into Yuka's eyes. She didn't have to search his eyes. The pain in them was clearly visible."We can't be together, Yuka. I get it. I'm trying to get over whatever it is that I felt for you. So, please don't ruin it. I know I shouldn't be here, but I came here because I craved for the comfort this garden has always given me. At the moment, I don't hate you. I don't think I can ever hate you, Yuka" She said and reached out to hold his hand."You have to stop beating yourself up about this. It won't change anything" she breathed. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze. Then, she walked aw
Jotham, Silveran Capital.2030. Feeling like a deflated balloon, Yuka resumed his position by the pool. Recently, every day of his life seemed to serve as a horrible reminder of the inevitable chaos that could break out if he ended up marrying Anya and ascending the throne of the Silverans. His heart began to ache at the mere thought of it. He suddenly felt very dizzy, it startled him. Just as quickly as it came, it vanished. He blew out a breath, wondering what had just happened to him. "Are you alright?" He stiffened at the sound of Hazel's voice. He turned around and there she was, looking as beautiful as always. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb you, but..." He cut her off. "It's not a disturbance if I'm okay with it" he told her. She nodded in understanding and started to approach him. When she got to his side, she sat down beside him. "I guess you heard everything," he sighed and she lowered her gaze. "I also know that you're smart enough to have figured it out," he ad
Quadam, Galactican Capital2030. The sky was weeping, the wind was raging and the growing storm was showing no signs of stopping. Lizquanqou stood by the half opened window of her bedroom, gazing at the weeping sky. She was wearing a black dress, and on her head was a polka dotted white and grey scarf. Beside her stood a woman with red hair and red eyes. She was wearing a pair of black leather pants, a black T-shirt and a black leather jacket. She also had a black scarf on her head. She gazed at the darkening sky with a look of melancholy on her face."Do you know where this is coming from, Yda?" Liz asked, her voice soft.The woman with the red hair remained silent for a few seconds. Then, she spoke."I know. How can I not know?" She said, her vo
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 "I can't believe she's dead. She confronted me not too long ago. How is she dead right now? What is going on?" Hazel said, a worried look on her face. Across the room where she was standing with Yuka, Lhyle and Kai, lay the corpse of princess Tanya. She was wearing a white dress, her black hair was let loose and there was no makeup on her pale face. She looked like she was merely asleep, but every other person in the room knew that she was no longer breathing. "Can someone please tell me what's happening here?" Hazel asked the men who were with her. They all looked sullen and this only made her more concerned. "We'll explain it all later. But, for now, let's hope that this isn't her ninth death. If it isn't, it means she'll regain consciousness in a few weeks," Kai stated. "You mean, come back to life," Hazel said an
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Yuka watched Kyan and Hazel from his position on the stone bench in the east wing of the castle. They were both seated on the ground in a lotus position. Their eyes were closed even as they held hands. He could see the energy building up around the both of them. It was indeed very fascinating to watch."Amazing, isn't she?" Lhyle commented from his position behind the second prince. "She really is" Yuka breathed, his gaze unwavering."Alright, you can open your eyes now" Kyan said and Hazel opened her eyes, slowly. Her eyes were no longer brown. They were multicolored and they glowed brilliantly."You are the daughter of Omari. One of your parents must have come from the lineage of Omari. Never in the history of the Omari has a male been chosen to manifest the powers of the Omari.
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030. Goodbyes can bring a certain sadness. Sometimes, they elicit mixed feelings. Hazel had tried to say goodbye to her feelings for Yuka, several times. But, she was never certain about it. After her honest encounter with Yuka, she had mixed feelings about what seemed to be their final bus stop. Her next step of action was to move on and prepare for her lifelong commitment to the crown prince who would become her husband in a matter of time. "You can pick the one you like. The choice is yours" the crown prince said to his fiancee. They were both standing in front of the beautiful display of a dozen wedding dresses on mannequins, all styled to royal perfection. Hazel admired the dresses and Caden watched her with a smile on his face. "Has any dress caught your eye yet?"
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Trying not to panic, Kai checked the second Prince's pulse, his eyes widening when he noticed how weak it was. Without wasting any more time, he placed a hand on the Prince's chest, his eyes glowing a brilliant silver just like his hand. After a few seconds, Yuka opened his eyes weakly. His vision was blurred and he felt both incredibly weak and cold. He began to shiver in Hazel's arms, his mind hazy. Hazel was so worried. She also hated seeing him in such a state. Kai grabbed a gray blanket and covered the prince. "Stay here. I'll go get the healers. Try to comfort him as best as you can. Don't let him sink into unconsciousness," Kai said to Hazel as he handed her a dark blue blanket. She nodded and he quickly left the chamber. As soon as he left, Hazel added the da
