Chapter 39
Rhae sat down beside her King, "Sorry Vaevor, I must rest for a moment before I dance again."
The King smiled, "not to worry Nira, I would give anything for your happiness, my Queen." He picked up her hand and kissed it, smiling at her widely.
"Thank you, Vaevor. I was actually hoping we could discuss some issues at the moment, the winter has undoubtedly made our crops suffer-" Rhae started, but was cut off as Vaevor raised his hand.
"Nira please, this is a celebration! Let us discuss these issues at our meetings." The King turned and took a drink from his golden chalice.
Rhae sucked in a breath before turning to the ball and smiling, "Of course, your grace."
Rhae's hands were tied. She had a mission that she could not stop herself from completing. Eventually, Icran would come for her and the royal family would die. The citizens were struggling, and people dying. The winter was always harsh, but with the poor harvest over the past few months, many

Aynyra sat in the corner of the library, picking over the shelves, trying to find any hints about the Fae. The books dedicated to the subject had all been burned, but she hoped that she could find any clues or mentions in other books. That's when she saw a book named "The History of the Royal Family", just what she was looking for. She took the book to a nearby table and sat, pulling a candle close by. She skimmed through the introduction and discusses the establishment of the Kingdom and the first royal family. Aynyra continued flipping through a couple of generations to the young Prince in love with the Fae princess from another kingdom. There wasn't much information, as with all the other books she had combed through. The book only discussed him falling in love with a Fae woman before an eligible Queen stepped up after the untimely murder of his Fae bride-to-be. The Queen then ruled the Kingdom during that time while the Prince grieved, refusing to take on his kingly duties. Ther

Rhae took a deep breath, checking her fingers for any lingering blue flames, before strolling out of her chambers towards the greenhouse. Prince Valor was sitting down feasting on pastries. If he isn't careful he could become as big as his father. Rhae strolled purposefully towards the table before taking a seat across from the Prince. She gave him a pointed stare, waiting for him to stop staring at her with a pastry hanging half out of his mouth. Valor slowly took the pastry out of his mouth and placed it on his plate, chewing the bite he took before he pulled it away. "Hello Nira, what can I do for you?" Valor smiled, resting his chin on his hands. "First of all, I'm not your mother, nor do I want to be. You will address me as Queen Nira. Secondly, you will not ask questions about my relationship with your father, though you are welcome to ask questions about anything else. Third, I need to know about the monsters, everything you saw outside of the walls." Rhae was giving a smil

Rhae woke up in a foreign room. She sat up and looked around, she was lying in a bed. Rhae looked to her left and saw Icran lying down, facing the other way. Damn! Rhae pulled back the covers and moved to get out of the bed. Icran grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, "Rhaenyx, wait please." Rhae turned too quickly, her head pounded and a green light flashed across her vision. She grabbed her head before falling back onto the pillow. "You have a concussion, you need to rest." Icran pulled the covers over her before leaning against his own pillow, running his hands through his long, blonde hair. "Listen, it's been a couple days. You were crushed under the rubble and I brought you here. You have a few broken ribs. We ran out ofAkihyra,because the King had his guards uproot the tree and take it to palace." "Rhae sat up again, you mean it's not on the hill anymore?" Rhae grabbed her head again, running her fingers

Aynyra sat to the left of her father, with her brother on his right. They sat together at the meeting table, the court members turned to the King, waiting for him to speak. Her father had called an emergency meeting, which had never happened in her life. She also had never been to a meeting before, she supposed her father had an important reason for inviting her. "Our Queen has gone missing. Our prisoner has escaped. We must organise a search party for the Queen and put our a warrant for Dynamere Renaeleous. I will be leading the search party with my son. The lords present today will enact a council temporarily to take over my duties whilst I search for my wife," The King had no room for argument on his face. "Father, I would like to join the search party," all the Lords in the room turned to her, including her father and brother. The King frowned, "Absolutely not. You are to stay here and train to be the spiritual leader for when your brother takes over, as planned." Aynyra stood,

Aynyra was riding down the streets when she heard a scream. She turned her horse and shot off, only riding down a few streets before coming upon some guards. As she turned the corner she saw her father, dead on the floor, an arrow through his heart. She stared for a moment before lifting her helmet, "Where's my brother?" The guards turned to her in shock before pointing down the street. "Take my father back to the castle, now!" She pulled her helmet back down and charged down the street. Her horse was faster than any of the others in stable, soon she could hear the sound of horshoes on the cobblestones. She followed the sound and found the end of a party, two guards and her brother. Quickly, she caught up to them and saw Dynamere dash down an alley the horses couldn't fit through. Her brother's horse reared at the alleyway. Aynyra jumped off her horse before it could stop and sprinted down the alleyway after Dynamere. That murderer would pay. Dynamere tried to lose her through the

Prince Valor was now King Valor. Aynyra attended his coronation, standing beside him as he received his crown and sceptre. He had no Queen, but he had Aynyra. Aynyra stepped forwards and was blessed, receiving the band of the spiritual leader. A ceremonial sash was tied around her wrists, binding her forever to her spiritual responsibilities to the Kingdom. The sash was cut in the middle, leaving a strand hanging from each wrist. She sat on her throne beside her brother as the Priest chanted in Lystaria, followed by the court standing and applauding. They were in a new age, an age where they led the decisions of the Kingdom, where the blight of assassins, criminals and famine fell on their shoulders. Valor's first act as King was to remove bans on magic and remove the death penalty on all Fae. He decreed that anybody with magic or of Fae heritage was to be protected within the city walls, under his rule. They were to report to him and use their gifts to aid the Kingdom in its needs.

Aerys was carrying a basket of bread around the store, when a figure walking past caught his eye. Lynn shot a glance in before averting her eyes and continued walking. Aerys put down the basket, grabbed his coat and slinked out the door. He followed her through the streets, hiding behind crowds, pretending to shop at a vendor and hiding in alleys. Eventually, Lynn turned into a tavern. Perfect. Aerys purchased a new coin pouch from the vendor he was talking to, then walked into the tavern. He took a look around, spotting Lynn on the other side, sitting around a table with a crowd of seemingly mercenaries. Aerys walked up to the bar and ordered a drink, just within hearing distance of Lynn's group. "Lynn, were you there a couple days ago when they put that magic girl on stage in the guild hall?" One of the mercenaries asked while taking a swig of his drink, he had shaggy black hair and a scar across his cheek. Lynn rolled her eyes, "Yeah, I was there. That poor woman, humiliated lik

A few days had passed, mostly being spent in her room, until guards escorted her to the daily training with Aynyra and Valor. She hadn't seen Aerys since the guards separated them on arrival. She would have to go find him, to make good on her promise to him. Being under room arrest wasn't working for her, and today she would convince Valor to trust her. Rhaenyx stood across the mat from Aynyra, pulling up the magic from deep inside her, pulling it to her skin. It was easy to summon the magic, as all she had to do was bring up her anger, which she had a lot of. Aynyra stood across from her, hands raised. They had practised a few times, enough for Rhae to know that Aynyra could send out pulses of force, that were directional. Valor was trying to teach her to control it in pointed blasts that Rhae could dodge, allowing a real challenge. She had also learned that Aynyra could move things with her mind, but she could only do one thing at a time; her magic had limits so far. Rhae pulled
