Chapter 1: Sealed Kingdom

Disclaimer: MINE

The forest, there was no name to it. Merely the forest. An embody of trees such as birch, oak, fir, and many more. It was rich in food and water source, with unique waterfalls, lake and caves. It change according to the seasons.

Peaceful green when the rain falls down from the sky. Animals took shelter under branches, or fallen logs. A beautiful stunning spring where the forest floor filled with flowers of various shades. The bright red poppy, deep sapphire blue cornflowers or the blushing shade of rose. When it was autumn everything turn golden or the colours of mango, orangina, red orange and cranberry. Wild pumpkins, squash and gourds will grow. Some will be picked and eaten by animals or other creatures or some will be left alone to be admired. When it rains, the already dark wood will turn black because of the wetness. At night, fireflies will come out, illuminating the night with shades of gold, green and pink while the moon glows beautifully. Framed with the stars in the night sky. Winter was different, the forest looks as if half of it has vanish. The leaves are stripped from the branches. Only a few shades of monochrome existed. Blackness and dark grey of a wood,smoke  and silver from the wolves fur, snowflakes and pure white of the snow and birch tree.

The vast forest was divided into five kingdom and each for the great kings when they had won the Great War against the dark force. The dark force does not consist of necromancers, dark elves or orc. No, they consist of those who lost and use their gifts for dark purpose, trees to poison those who touch it, air to slowly suffocate innocent lives, fire for burning, earth for burying living being alive and summoning the dead for destruction. The world are shades of grey, there was no pure white nor true black. When they had won, they divided everything for each other as fair as they could. The forest areas with clifts for the elves, caves and the mountains for the dragons, mines or undergrounds for the dwarves, the witches, warlock and necromancers are free to room everywhere, orcs where darkness lies in the mountain passages and lastly, lake, some part of the forest and water bodies for the nymphs and spirits or sidhe.

One of the kingdom is called Sindarin and this is it's story and tales of it's mistake.

The King of Sindarin is kind and just,

A beautiful Queen by his side,

Trice they are blessed with children,

The first son named Gîl,

His strength and wise-ness is like the burning stars in the sky,

and those who gazed upon him will be star struck by his beauty

The second son is Cevon,

Known for his patience and gentle manner,

But known that even the still Earth is feared for it's temper,

The last son is Aravillar,

Known for his beauty and spells,

But alas the King lost his Queen,

And thus he committed a grave mistake.

"Things do not set in motion...for a life there will be another to be paid"

The king had taken advantage of her mistake, blamed her for the fate she could not change because she is incapable of saving his Queen. Water elves are known for their frailness and death follows every creature. To embrace or denied it is each person's choice. The king took her child who was the same age as the third prince when an assassin strike. Killing the helpless baby. The baby was the life of her, she took care of him when he was running with high fever, singing him lullaby at night and sewing him cloths every time he grew out of them and that joy of her life was taken away from her. The lifeless blue eyes and body soaked in blood torn her heart apart, she did not managed to save him, even with all her strength. So she turn her guilt towards the king. Yes, everything is his dammed fault.  She cannot strike yet, she will be patience and weave her spell slowly yet it will be effective. Oh how they will wish for death when she is done.
