She is going light on the work with us today as this Thursday is Thanksgiving, and she has some new recipes she wants to try, and it takes a couple of days of prepping to do. Since living here, I have tried many new dishes from my home world, and I think Thanksgiving will be no different.We are sitting at the dining table doing our work, and I realized there are things about the worlds while reading a book on our history; made me realize I know nothing about it.“This whole book is about Valaisha?” I asked, and Luziann answered from the kitchen.“I realized as our Princess you don't know of our history. This might help you to understand about your world as well as the other two worlds; and why we must save them. You will also read about the fall of Kaihu when the good ruler died.

Thanksgiving- Book One- Chapter Twelve
Thanksgiving was one day away, and I couldn't help but wonder how long Porter intended to stay. In the meantime, my mother instructed me to spend more time with Porter, so I decided to take him out and show him around on horseback. As we rode through the tall pines and my pointing out to him the different wildlife he came right out and asked me, “You don't like me much do you, Rayna?” I had not realized I was that obvious.“It's not that I don't like you, Porter, I have just been thrown so much in my life that it is a lot to take in. I mean to be told I am to be getting married to unite two worlds together...I mean to a...” I paused and bit my bottom lip.“To a complete stranger.” He finished. “I do understand Rayna. To be honest for me I feel as if I already know you. Can you try and get to know the real me? The man I am and not the enemy?”“I hadn't realized I made you feel that way. I am sorry. I sincerely am.” I looked deeply for the first time since he arrived in his eyes and a t

Disappointed- Book One- Chapt Thirteen
A week later Porter had decided to stay longer. We seem to be bonding in a nice friendship, but my heart belongs to Galen. I can't get over him and wondered where he is and what he is up to right now; and if he even misses me. I know he loves me and I can't help but wonder if he felt he needed to back out because of Porter. Maybe that was the deep conversation he and Bryden had that day; because he was suddenly gone with no word soon after.It had taken a week for the palace guards to locate Jason's dad, who had gone into hiding, but I can't help but wonder who that man Jason was talking to that day in the woods. And why were they in that particular spot? Well, I am not going to worry about it because the immediate danger, for now, has been eliminated.I have been finding quiet moments for myself and been visiting the cave with the gateway. I have hiked with Porter to the cave a few times, but today I was alone. I have been lying back on the soft grass and doing some heavy thinking. V

Snow Bound- Book One- Chapt Fourteen
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

The Surprise- Book One- Chapter Fifteen
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

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.”

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

First Day of Christmas- Book One- Chapter Twenty
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.
