DAYS BEFORE THE BALLAs Morgana was busy training her dancing steps, in the kingdom of Briggs Benita was putting a whole lot of pressure on the people that were handling her make-up and attire. The ball was only a few days away and even though all the maidens that were selected to go had already been chosen, there were some people who thought that with their influence; they might be able to buy the heart of the king of Mytigon but it wasn’t so.“My great king, I have come with a message from my kingdom… the Persian king sends his gratitude for allowing his daughter to be a part of this wonderful event and as a token he has brought you-” the messenger was a man with haggard beard, his outfit looked Eastern and his accent told Ivan that the messenger was from one of the Arab kingdoms that were very far from Mytigon.“Gold, silver plates, scented perfumes and even more gold? This is too much if you ask me but send my regards to YOUR king anyways” Ivan was being sarcastic and the messenge
PRINCESS SOURFACEAll the efforts that Morgana was putting into the training made her mother to worry, Theresa was more worried about her daughter more than her own health which was steady depleting fast. Morgana went to Octavia’s house in the evenings and she stayed there until it was late at night, there were times where Theresa felt that her daughter wouldn’t come home that night but she always returned with a sweaty face and a tired smile.“Good evening, mother. I thought I told you not to stay up for me?” Morgana queried her mother when she returned to the house which was also their shop. Theresa rubbed her eyes to see her daughter in a clearer light.“You are not in any position to tell me what to do, mostly when you are in such a condition… look at your legs wobbling already, come and have a seat so that you can eat your dinner” Morgana wanted to argue with her mother some more but she felt that she needed food in her stomach to do that, she sat down with a silent word of thank
THE BALLAs the day of the ball approached quite swiftly in the sight of Elliot, he was filled with questions about what he had heard his father said about having a choice for him already. The more he tried to get his mind off it, the more he realized how interested he was and his curiosity eventually got the best of him.“Father, there is something that I have been meaning to ask you” Elliot said as they ate in the dining hall, there was only one maid and one guard standing a few yards from the big table as the father and son ate in silence, Ivan looked at his son and saw that he was actually solemn about what he wanted to say.“Leave us” Ivan signaled to the guard and the maid, when they were alone; Ivan grinned at his son.“Elliot, my boy. You have grown up to be quite a fine young man and the look in your eyes is far from the innocent look that you used to have when you were little” Ivan toyed with his son’s conscience but Elliot was unwavering.“Yeah, growing up will do that to a
THE TRUCEIn a time where witches and wizards roamed around the face of the earth without any fear or anxiety of being burnt alive, a time where mythical beasts were not just myths but real monsters, a time where vampires and werewolves existed, there was a great war between the two strongest kingdoms in all the land and the war led to the destruction of many small towns and little villages, the war raged on because both kingdoms were evenly matched and their military capabilities was overrun with high level monsters that fought for their kings.The king of Mytigon which was the weaker kingdom out of the two was beginning to panic because his military force was reducing day after day and he was afraid because of the life of his son who was no more than two years old, the king of Mytigon managed to seek audience with the king of the opposing kingdom which was called Briggs and they talked at length because of the gravity of the matter at hand, how to stop the war that had claimed thous
THE SPECIAL ONEPrince Elliot Alexander had always been called “Special” ever since he was just a young lad but he was not aware of the reason behind the name, sometimes the boy thought the reason to be his eye colors which was a combination of brown and black {brown left eye, black on the right} but he knew the reason behind his queer eye colors but what puzzled him was the way his father bragged about the prowess of his kingdom and how the kingdom was going to rule over all the others, his father always put Elliot in front of everything and that was understandable because the king lost his wife on the day Elliot was born so it was only fair that the only son should receive showers of spoiling and blessings. Growing up in a royal palace would make anyone lazy because they had servants that would do anything that they wanted within a snap of their fingers but Elliot was a remarkable exception, he was in love with hard work and he loved working in the barns with the stable keepers wher
MAN OR BEAST?Elliot’s sword was made of a kind of steel that could slay any creature, demon or spirit, the sword was given to him by his guardian who was directed to get him the best of the best weapons, Elliot knew how to fight with daggers, knives and even his bare fists, the sword contained magical essence that made it never rust or age, it dries up any liquid that is stained on it within seconds so there was no need for Elliot to clean his sword by himself. Elliot was a cold hearted warrior that was trained by his guardian to never spare the enemy or even pity the weak but Elliot still had a soft heart to women and children so he swore to never kill any of the aforementioned without a proper reason or resolve, his sword could never be broken by brute force or by any spell, it was pure just like the heart of its wielder.Elliot was never one to let other people do his work for him so whenever there was a report about any monster or irregular murder report; Elliot was quick to pick
CRYBABY PRINCESSEmperor Constantine never had good luck in his life when it came to choosing a soulmate, he had married different women and even witches but none of them seem to stay with him, it was always one mayhem to another and if it wasn’t the bride running away from the palace then it would be death by an unnatural cause. The only time that he was able to find a real partner that loved him regardless of all his flaws was the day that he met a woman who was part demon and half human, the woman loved Constantine and he loved her too with all his heart but tragedy doesn’t live far from the household of the emperor.The woman became pregnant not long after she got married to the emperor, the news broke out and the whole kingdom of Briggs was excited to hear about the arrival of a new member into the royal family to the point that they even threw a party to celebrate the news, Constantine was very happy but at the same time he was being cautious because he was aware of the bad luck
NUMBERSGood name travels far and that was the case of Elliot because the stories about his bravery had travelled from mouth to mouth until his name had been known by the people all over the region, they called him different names and some even called him a demon but Elliot would laugh at these side comments because they did him no harm, being on a higher power level than everyone in his kingdom would give anybody pride but Elliot was humble and upright in all his ways, he greeted everyone with a smile and it was accustomed for him to always be the first to extend his hand of courtesy.During his childhood; Elliot was part of a training expedition for grooming high ranked warriors and soldiers, his father signed him up for the training under the disguise of a simple commoner and that was how Elliot’s strength was tested to the extreme at such a very young age, he went through a series of training that built up his strength and due to his sword fighting skills he was able to survive th
