Edette:

Chapter 0

Beginning of the end...

It is a world where diversity is greatly seen. In a far away hidden Kingdom. Away from the mortals greedy deciet.

There was a king and queen adored and respected by their people. Their love story inspired many and was envied by most.

A woman from a fallen family, saved by a prince riding a white horse, of course they were loved. They became the symbol of Eros and Filial heirarchy of the Elborne Empire.

But as years went on the couple has yet to name a heir for the thrown. To avoid the people's unrest, they studied ancient scripture of the royal family, But only found one. The ritual that was used by the 2nd king of the empire. It was used only once and along this a warning was engraved.

"Never again shall the ritual be bought to light. Successful it may ensure but darkness was sure to follow. Death will look through the abyss, and one shall follow as the holder."

But the 5th king brushed it off like a speck of dust. The ritual was made and soon the queen conceived. After nine months of waiting twins were given.

A boy resembling the golden locks and emerald eyes of the Elborne family. This ones fate was written to be the heir and indeed was introduced to the people, but one was not so favored at sight of the king.

Her locks dark as Ravens feathers at night, and eyes of Garnett shine. The king then neglected the second child believing as a strange child she is, she may as well not exist. After all no Elborne was ever born with her features.

The queen on the other hand weloved both and demanded that she herself will raise the children specially her little princess.

As years went by, the twins grew to five year old hatchlings . Both showcased two different personalities. The boy shined like the sun that people grew to love and as the heir grew to respect. He proved his ability at such by getting the blessing and favor of the king by brandishing a very astonishing vast power. He can already produce his wings at the age of three. And was the first to ever do so in over a millennia.

While the girl was overshadowed and never went out to show her power. The people never really knew of her except the palace servants. She was never even held by her  sire. She was like the moon and night, where people never really appreciated. Even though at that her mother loved her fully and so is her nanny Murrielle.

Although she still seek her father's affection. She would try to work hard for him to notice but only her mother and brother ever did.

And the following two years  the boy was trained by their father and was rarely ever by her side since. Their connection weakened, and soon communication was non-existent.

A  year after that the queen was assassinated protecting her child. This caused the people to mourn her. The king then became harsher to his daughter. The prince then decided to follow his father. The princess was left to be locked up in the Garnett palace isolated from the world. Some servant  hell bent on making her life miserable. Only her nanny Murrielle was ever there to comfort her and occasionally the Garnett palace's head Butler Arkshaw.

Being that she was hurt and two years after her mother's death she still strived hard to win his father's affection in denial of her mother's death.

And as a 15 year old naive that she was, went her way and sneaked to the neighboring mortal kingdom. There she met a young boy her age at the forest, he told her that he was royal and seek the alliance of the hidden kingdom.

She believed his words and led them right in. But soon the mortals reigned havoc that alerted the king and soon subdued them. Furious he ordered the girl in a trial for fairness. And soon she was sentenced to death at the age of 18.

Taunt with her body clung a thin white tattered dress, she felt it like her second skin. She was made to kneel and bow her head. As she peeked through her raven locks she saw her Nanny scream for her to be spared and Arkshaw trying to weave through the crowd towards her. She then looked at her father and brother. They looked so cold and she can see her brother slightly show emotion but she couldn't decipher it.

What ever did she do wrong to deserve this, all she ever wanted was her father's affection and normal childhood as one of the family.

And as the blade swung down her head, she only thought of one thing. If ever she was to be given a chance to do so. She will take her revenge on those who had hurt her. And make sure they suffer as she did.

With her final strength she showed her pent up  sorrow and pain in a smile. Her nanny wailed loudly and Arkshaw draw his sword trying to reach the girl, and her so called family even flinched.

And the blade then made contact...
