There was a time when people could enjoy all the Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Each Season represented an element: Spring for Air, Summer for Earth, Autumn for Fire and Winter for Water. And every person could control just one element. That's why there were four nations, four Kingdoms. In the North was the Water Kingdom, East was Earth, South was Fire, and West was Air. In the centre of the Kingdoms was The Four Seasons Market. Favourite place of most, signs of peace and prosperity, every day full of people from all over the lands.
Every year they will celebrate the element in the season that represents the respective element.
It was the 1st day of Winter, so that the Water Celebration will be held in The market for all the people of the four nations, kids and adults, maids, warriors and Queens and Kings will be here today to celebrate it.
Water Kingdom
Noelani pov:
As I get out of my bathroom, I start getting ready for today's event. It was essential as; we celebrated our Kingdom's element. I started with my hair and then applied light makeup. My silver eyes were shining, and the blue speckles in them were so prominent now. I refused my maid's help, and it seems like I was doing pretty well on my own.
In the last couple of weeks, I preferred to be alone, as I get irritated by small things quickly. It's not my thing...but maybe because of the celebration, my emotions went high.
I put on my long dress, and I realised that I couldn't do it independently.
"Kai! Kai! Come give me a hand with my dress or else we'll be late for our celebration "!I yelled to my husband.
"Oh, my love! I told you to let the maids help you with the preparations. "He said, chuckling and hugging me from behind and moving his hands slowly up and down on my swallowed belly. "I can't wait to meet him, our child, my love," said the king kissing my neck.
"What if it's 'her', "I said, turning and searching for his eyes. He started laughing but didn't answer my question.
After Kai zipped up my dress, I turned around and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Thank you, My King," I told him and went to put my shoes on.
"My Queen." He said with a bow, mocking me", I'll go to my office. I have an important call to make before we leave for the celebration ", and then I heard the door opening and closing behind him.
As I finish with my shoes, I catch a glance of myself in the mirror. My dress was long, with long see-through sleeves. The part covering my chest was a baby blue so sparkling that it looked like snow on a sunny day, from my waist, different blue coloured chiffon falling to the floor, like the waves on the sea in a mild storm.
As I get out of my chamber, Mira hands me an envelope, with a slight smile, bowing her head. "My Queen, the King, asked me to give you this and also ask me to accompany you on your trip to The Market, "she said without looking me in the eyes.
I open the enclosure with trembling hands and read:
"My Queen, my love, my life. I'm sorry I left you behind. An emergency meeting it's being held with the other Kings before the Celebration. I've to ask Mira and Egon to travel with you. Take care, my love! I'll be meeting you at The Market. Truly yours, King Kai!"
After finishing the letter, I made my way to the car, where Egon and Mira waited. They are bowing their heads, and I acknowledge them with a nod and a small smile.
The 8 hours trip came to an end. I'm so relieved when the carriage came to a stop as I couldn't bear any minutes there. That kind of trip is not something I'll die for. My legs are aching, and I'm so hungry.
Egon opens the doors from the large building and follows me inside with Mira, who is always next to me but a step behind.
A hand grabbing my upper arm startled me, and I turned around to see a smiling Aaron, Earth King, and childhood friend of mine.
"Aaron! I didn't, though. I'll see you so soon!" I said with a significant smile. We were like brothers.
"Noelani! I'm so glad to see you too! You look ready to explode, "said the Earth King, hugging me and brushing my big swallowed belly.
After 30 minutes of chatting with my old friend, I excuse myself for needing to use the bathroom.
"I'll see if I can find some accessible seats for us before you come back. And maybe King Kai will be here soon to honour us with his presence." Aaron said as I turned around, looking for the bathroom.
When I got there, I noticed all the cabins are occupied, so I quickly decided to sneak into the men's bathroom.
I opened the door and immediately heard someone moaning from the last cabin. Chuckling, I tried to get in the first one without any noise, but my purse slipped from my hand, making a noise so loud that it made me jump and scream.
In an instant, the last cabin door opened and my eyes stayed glued on the hot women coming out of it." She seems so familiar," I thought.
"Ahh! Your Majesty!" She said mockingly, something evil in her eyes.
"Noelani?!" I heard my husband's voice from the last cabin, and my heartfelt like someone was stabbing it repeatedly. His eyes held pain and confusion, love, anger and something else that I can't pinpoint.
"Noelani is not what it looks like, "he said while the tall woman was scrunching up her nose in disgust.
"Kai?! How could you? How could you do this to me? To our unborn child." I said as I grabbed my purse and started running back from where I came from.
Tears streaming down my face were blurring my vision, dizziness overcame me, and the need to throw up was unbearable. How could he do this to me?Why?I give up everything for him.
"Noelani? Noelani, what's wrong? "I heard Aaron asking me. But I was too weak to answer. My legs buckled, and all I could see was a shadow approach...Then a loud booming and fire were everywhere. People were screaming and running past me. My tummy starts aching so bad. I couldn't take this anymore. What have I done to deserve this? Another boom was heard, and my skin felt so hot.
"Noelani! Nooo!" I hear Kai screaming before dark envelopes me. And I welcome it.
King Kai pov When I heard my wife's voice, it was like I was waking up from a spell. "Noelani?!" I said, but no answer came from her. My eyes found her face, and I could see the pain in her beautiful silver eyes. So full of mixed emotions, pain and betrayal were the dominant ones. And my heart hurt so much seeing her like that, that I was afraid it would stop any second now. She rushes out, and when I start going after her, a hand grabs mine, stopping me. "My King, do you feel well? You look so pale. It's there anything I can do for you?" It was Tal, asking me. I am so confused now. I haven't seen her there before. All I could think now it's a pain in my beautiful wife's eyes—the betrayal. I
Aaron pov "Noelani! Noelani, can you hear me? Answer me please!" my voice was breaking while I called for her! "Mira! What's happened? Before the explosions, did you see anything?" "Your Majesty... When My Queen went to the bathroom, I followed her, even if I knew she didn't want me to...I did. I couldn't let her alone while pregnant. I love my Queen, Sire. She's like an older sister to me; she always was. I can't feel otherwise, even if I know it's wrong... I'm just a maid after all." Mira said with teary eyes. "So I waited for her outside. I knew she went into the men's bathroom, so I just stayed next to the door stopping every man from going in. When she came running and crying outside, I panicked. I didn't know what's wrong. And then, before the door closed, I saw King Kai and Lady Tal
Present time Evolet pov "Oren! That's it! I'm going to end you!" I said, trying to get out the dirt from my hair. My new green and blue dress look like a hundred years old rug now." My dress is ruined, Oren," I said, pouting. "Oh, the little princess is upset now!" he said, throwing another full hand of dirt in my face." That's it! No more! I'm going to send you and hide you in the basement," I said and started running after a laughing Oren. "Evolet!Oren!What are you two doing? You should be ready for the Celebration! It's going to start every minute now!" Our mother said, walking towards us. "Evolet! Oh my! What happened to your dress?" Mother asked, looking between O
Blaze pov (warning: some mature content) I wake up feeling a hand on my bare stomach. I turn my head to see its owner, and I'm met with a ball of red hair. Memories from last night come rushing in my pounding head. I must have drunk too much again. I can't remember the name of the naked woman next to me, but that's nothing new. As I never ask for a title. It doesn't matter for me as long as my primal instincts are satisfied. I grab a handful of her hair and direct her mouth on my now erected member. She starts licking and sucking, and I start pounding faster and faster till I release myself. "Get dressed and get out!" I said, my voice rough. The woman put her clothes on with trembling han
Kai pov.As my army returned to the palace, I went out to congratulate my warriors for their success. Today they destroyed another City of the Fire Kingdom. I promise Noelani that I will take revenge on her, and here I am. Even if I remarry and have a son, I will never forget her: my first Queen, my love, my Noelani.I needed to. The Kingdom needed a Queen and an heir who'll take the throne when the time comes."Well done, my warriors! Well done! Now go and feast and drink! Tomorrow Your King and The Prince will accompany you on a new quest! We will take down the second biggest city of the Fire Kingdom! May God bless our search! "Cheers and applause erupted in the air. The warriors were leaving fo
Evolet pov.As I made my way to the Celebration, next to my brother, I spotted a curly blonde head."Willow?Willow! It's you! Oh my Goodness! I missed you so much!""Yeah, I know," she said without sparing me a single glance."Willow! Ok, I know! I'm sorry! I promised you I'll come to visit and I didn't. It wasn't easy for me either, you know!""Oh, Evolet! I can't even be mad at you! I missed you too !" she said, hugging me so hard that I couldn't breathe.Willow was the daughter of Mira, my nanny, and Egon, the Head Warrior. They are both water elementals who chose to come to the Earth Kingdom when the war start
Enya pov.Today it's my birthday. I'll be 30 in a few hours. As excited as I am about my birthday party, I can't stop thinking about my loneliness. It's been 20 years since I lost my parents.I took over the Throne for three years as my brother was too small for such responsibility. I was always so busy with Kingdom affairs, and I've always been at Blaze's side that I forgot to live. I'll be 30, and I'm still alone. Call me selfish, but sometimes I wish not to be a royal. I want to meet someone, who will love me for me, who won't find my rank meaningful. Many have tried to win my heart, and all have failed. And not because I didn't want someone, but because I knew they wanted me for my title. If only I were born in a world with no labels, no ranks, no war."Enya! Are you
Blaze pov.I'm sitting in my office waiting for my sister to get ready for her birthday party. After she insisted for a whole week, I finally agreed to have the party held in The Sun City. I'm still not sure if it was a good decision or not, as there were so many attacks from the Water Kingdom in the last month. It's like King Kai can't wait to finish this.But I can't think about this now. All I think about since I've woken up this morning were purple eyes. I've dreamed about those eyes before, but this time was different. I was in this dark place, I tried to create a flame, but I failed. I never fell back. It was my element, my birth gift, or my birth curse. Trying to bring a flame to life, I froze when I felt eyes burning holes in my back. I turn around to be met with the most fantastic pair of purple eyes. I have never seen something as
