FLAMES LOVE

The multitude gathered around to hear the decree of their beloved king, King Duncan Ra-el Pengast from his messenger "The decree of his Majesty; kneel all ye who hears and sees, receive the decree of your king my brethrens", the multitude knelt on the bare floor and bow their heads in respect.The messenger began to read the message "All maidens born in the year of the Phoenix should assemble at the king's palace on the crown prince's one thousand equinox, all maidens should be on their best attire and must endeavor to be on time".As he completes the message he continued on his way.

"The crown prince's equinox?,has he began looking for his mate after so long?"

"Yh, I know right, never thought he'd bother to search for his mate after the death of his chosen".

"This is unbelievable..a girl squeal, I hope am his mate"

"Wait, what are we still doing here, we should start getting ready, his one thousand equinox is in three days".The whispers and murmurs of the crowd filled the air, some were excited, some anxious, and some with mixed feelings,who didn't know that it has been a long time since the planet Zypher ever had any celebrations.Slowly, slowly, the crowd began to disperse, going to their various homes.

The Prime Minister's Home

Noise could be heard coming from a room, the shattering of glasses, the tearing of fabrics, the breaking of furnitures, all who heard the noise knew that the lady was angry, the servants stood outside the room cowering in fear, then like a gentle breeze the prime minister, Lord El-Naggar approaches his daughter's room, on stepping inside a large vase was flying towards daughter then he said "Pumpkin, the apple of my eyes,Anika talk to papa,what got you so worked up?who made you angry?who hurt you my world?tell me and I shall see justice done,for you my dear daughter are my world".Anika burst into tears and cried really hard then she said"The Gods are the ones who hurt me papa, they're trying to take Mon-el away from me, bringing back that stupid prophecy of theirs.He is mine papa, Mon-el be longs to me,those damned Gods.."

"Blasphemy,stop it Anika,do not soil the names of the Gods anymore,I can give you anything you want but do not take which does not belong to you,His highness has a mate already,the Gods has given him a mate, mates are sacred and you know that", El-Naggar cuts her short.
