A half-hour later I noticed a small cave among some big boulders. I pointed towards it, and Porter nodded. We got to the cave, and I suggested I should go in first to make sure it was not a den for hibernating bears.“Excuse me why should you be first to enter? What if there were bears in there?” Porter asked frowning.“Because that happens to be another gift of mine. I can just about tame a wild animal. Not once has one ever tried to attack me.” I smiled at him, “Trust me.” I said as I ventured inside and looked around. I poked my head out of the opening. “It’s all clear,” I said, and he began to unload the sleeping bag and quilts as the winds began to blow the snow harder. I began to set things up and spread out the sleeping bag, so we can sit.The cave was big enough for us two and space to build a fire. So, as I was setting up and bringing in the basket of food, Porter went in search of wood, so we could make a fire. I found some good size rocks to make a fire pit as he walked in
I walked out of my room, and mom and Luziann had a hot lunch ready for us. I smiled as I noticed a hot cup of coffee sitting there ready for me.“That all smells great,” I said sitting next to Porter and picked up my mug and took a sip of hot coffee. “Mmm, that is good.”“Thanks, I got it ready for you,” Porter said taking a bite of his lunch.“Thank you.” I smiled then took another sip. Lunch was hot and amazing. Afterward I got up from the table, and I picked up my empty plate and Porter's plate and took it to the kitchen and rinsed them off and placing them in the strainer.Porter came in carrying the mugs, and we rinsed them out together. Going into the main room it was then I noticed everyone was gone. I looked around puzzled when Porter behind me spoke. “It is just us this afternoon.” He looked down at me and smiled. “Your mom and Bryden have an important meeting with the council of both worlds. My father and mother included.” I nodded in understanding, and he continued. “And Lu
A week later, Porter and I had been careful with plenty of guards, visiting his and my world. I have had the opportunity to wear some of my outfits created for me finally. Meeting the people has been a great joy, they have welcomed me into their fold as if I were raised here and not on foreign soil. They kept handing me flowers or small gifts which I graciously accepted and thanked them for.The children were the most eager to please me as their Princess. I have fallen in love with the people and the worlds. I also learned the union ceremony was moved to a year instead of two. The council decided seventeen was too young and voted to wait until my eighteenth birthday for the ceremony.And it was also agreed with heavy guards for protection; I was to become familiar with both worlds and the people, and also for them to get to know their Princess. Seeing Porter and me together is to give them hope in the peace, the council said, and it seems to be working.Porter has also taken the oppor
A few days later after much-needed togetherness with Porter and myself. My mother and Bryden and Porter’s father Derrik called for another important meeting to discuss the current situation and about our safety. This time Luziann went with them.Kieran, Porter and I decided to have a fun day to take our minds off things. Surprisingly it was a sunny, warm day, and almost all the snow had melted off. We decided to start out riding, Porter rode Star and Kieran, and I rode double on Eazy. We went in the opposite direction from the lake this time and an hour later found a beautiful open field when; I couldn't help myself and told Kieran to hold on and kicked Eazy giving her head with the reins, and she took off on a dead run. Porter followed behind on Star.It felt so good and made me laugh when Kieran began laughing and Porter joining us in laughter. We needed this so much with what we been through, and it was such fun, and the meadow was so large. I braked the horse and jumped off as I w
Later back at the cabin we decided to play board games until my mom and the Westons come back. After Porter won for the umpteenth time, he excused himself saying he has things to do in his room. Since Kieran and I are alone, she wanted to show me the pictures she took at the waterfall. They were good, and then she got to one I had not known she had taken.Porter and I on the edge of the river gazing into each other's eyes. Then the next shot was us kissing only it looked like there was a white halo lit around us. Looking at it, it looked to be a camera glare, so I thought nothing of it. But seeing the photos, I looked at her puzzled, “Why, How?”“I was standing at the top of the waterfall looking down and saw you two. I figured you might want these to begin your photo album of your life together.”I flipped through the other photos and saw those were the only two. “Don't worry I looked away after the first photo of you two kissing.”I smiled at her thoughtfulness. “Thank you, Kieran.”
Sitting around Bryden's desk, my mom began the story of the Prophecy.“Over five hundred years ago there was a great prophet known to all three worlds. One night as he slept he had a strong vision of a war between the worlds.The cause of the war started by the greed of an evil dark king, the prophet saw darkness grow inside this king, and the darkness began poisoning the world he ruled. It began to grow dark with evil and poison across the world.The evil king’s strong desire to rule all three worlds and kill the royal families darkened his heart. Sadly, your father was the first.” My mom said sadly looking at me then continued, “The Prophet saw a child being born two years after the evil king began his rule, it was a special boy from one of the Royals.”I looked over at Galen as he held my hand and he glanced at me as my mom continued.“The evil king was wreaking havoc among his people during the first few years of his reign. Close to three years after the boy was born the Prophet s
I finally slept peacefully that night and dreamed of a grand wedding. I was now looking forward to it, as I cannot imagine ever being apart from Galen. He is my entire being, my life, my very existence, and I am his. I was lying in bed thinking of everything and smiled. The very thought of seeing Galen brought tingles through my body. I stretched and sat up when something caught my eye. Sitting on the bedside table was a present. I picked it up and saw the card which read.On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me!Our hearts are entwined forever, GalenI smiled as I opened the present and saw a silver necklace. It was of two hearts with diamonds entwined as one. “Well, it is not a partridge in a pear tree,” I said to myself giggling with joy. I undid the clasp and put the necklace on; then I got up changed and brushed my hair then ran out to find Galen. Seeing him in the living room standing and chatting with my mom, I ran straight into his arms and gave him a big kiss.
I woke after another dream of Galen and me and laid there wondering if he had the same dream. It was after the ceremony, and we were crowned King and Queen of Kaihu. After the festivities and celebrations of our union ceremony, we were shown to this huge beautiful room and several guards standing outside for our protection. The room was white with gold trim and a beautiful white marble fireplace with a golden mantle already lit and cozy looking. There was food and drink for us on a table and a large bed with gold covering. As I looked around I heard Galen's voice, “This is the Ceremonial room. As we are the chosen ones, we must consummate this marriage for our union to be complete, and the power of light to ignite.” He said coming up to me and turning me around and gently began kissing me. “I love you, my sweetness.” “I love you so much,” I whispered as he deepened the kiss, then lifted me and carried me to the bed gently placing me down and began kissing me again and more passionate
