There is no king there but queens, when a queen marries her husband does not become king, and if in the marriage union has children man and woman are the women who becomes king, even if she is the last to be born. - I couldn't imagine that there were several kingdoms with such different characteristics, and not even in my wildest dreams could I suspect that there was a kingdom ruled by women.

he ignores me and continues "Because I've been busy trying to keep this kingdom together. After the last king died, I didn't think it would take this long to find the next ruler. If I'd known you were still alive and that Iridessa had sent you away, I would have come for you sooner" "I am not interested in my background...".

Demand an heir?” “Alpha Jeremy is the last in his bloodline, and—” “I want the truth, mate.” Tyler cut in, voice sharp. “Don’t defend him. Don’t act like you’re beneath him.” I swallowed. “Yes. He… insisted. But I tried to make it work. Did everything I could.” “And that woman—” Tyler spat the words like poison, “—she’s carrying his child?”

He whispers the last part while kissing my temple. The truth is, I was so excited about today. Earth Celebration was one of my favourite things. My parents told me there was a time when all the Kingdoms were celebrating together, but after the war started, every nation celebrated their element in their own Kingdom. All apart from one. The Water Kingdom. The Kingdom that started the war.

"Of course not. Why would you even think of that?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you taking me for a fool? You said that he is famous. Naturally he would be hired by a nearby royal, which would be the king and queen." He stared at me. "What?" I asked. "You actually got the name of this kingdom right. That's a first." "I did!?" I gasped. "Wow I am actually smarter than I thought. I could become a scholar." "Now what is the name of the kingdom that was destroyed in the year 455? Specifically 10 years ago."

Strong men of Kingdom Brone come forward and show your might, and fight for yours and mine, for all that was and will be, fight for Brone! May the creator Help us all!"

The dark star began descending. Kael moved closer to Aria. “Is that another enemy?” “No.” The First Mother shook her head. “It is a message.” The star stopped above them. Words appeared across the sky. THE PROPHECY HAS ENDED. Aria stared. Then another line appeared. BUT THE WAR HAS NOT. The child tightened its grip on Aria's hand. A final message appeared. THE LAST KING IS COMING. Kael looked toward the horizon. “There was another king?” The First Mother slowly nodded.

"I was wondering when you'd come." Wren stopped in the doorway. Kirill was beside him, his grey eyes scanning the room. "You knew I would." "I knew you'd find your father. I knew he'd tell you the truth. I knew you'd come for me." Theron's lips curved. "I've been preparing for this moment for sixteen years." Wren's pulse quickened.
