As the years moved on so did we, I was able to wield all kinds of magic, although when I use too much magic at once I turn blind eyed and rampaged… but we’ve been working on that. I learned so many things about the people I hold dear to me. Father likes writing, Ordell likes animals, Sage likes potions, Fumika loves dancing, Chiru likes the sea and Altan loves training with a sword. We’ve grown together and I’ve developed a family bond with them.

Chance feels like a distant memory in my mind, as we started to get older we had more commitments in our empires we had to follow, We made sure to write to each other all the time though. When he decided to go to the academy I was so happy for him, but I didn’t know this would be the end of our friendship. I write and do not get replies, he does not visit me anymore, even for special events. The empress says he’s busy with studying but that wasn’t the Chance I once knew. 

I just hope you're healthy and well.

Ten years later.

“Princess! You need to get up now! How many years has it been and I still need to wake you!” Olive yells as she opens the netting to let in the sun. I roll around in my cosy bed trying not to leave yet.

“I will tell Aenon” she comments which instantly makes me rise, I glare her way which makes her chuckle.

“Using your husband against me is cheating” I comment. Three years ago Aenon and Olive made it official and they finally got married last year. I was so happy for them but I didn’t think she would turn to these measures.

“Princess, you know we have so much work cut out for yours and Altans' coming of age ceremony!” She comments as she starts to unplait my hair which was too long for this heat. I'm going to be turning sixteen soon which is the legal age to get married, which I don’t think any of us have stuck to. Ordell is engaged to Astrid Bella Jones of the western empire, she’s a nasty piece of work and he knows it too, but for some reason he’s been putting off the wedding for While. 

‘I’m glad he is’

I’ve seen him sneaking out to meet up with someone at night, but as long as he’s happy I’m okay with it.

“Come on princess, you need to get ready!” She orders which makes me frown.

…

Finally being fitted in some of the best clothes I’m allowed to start my day. As I walk down the corridor I see a tall figure in the far.

“Ordell” I cheer as I quickly run up to my brother and wrap my arms around his neck, he instantly picks me up and spins me.

“How was your trip to the east!” I smile brightly towards him.

“It was stressful. But I managed to see their warrior training ground!” He comments bluntly, all though he has a soft spot for his family he’s always so straight forward.

“Are we able to have some tea together?” I dance around him like a puppy who hasn’t seen their owner in a while. I feel his large hands fall on my head to keep me still.

“I’m sorry, I need to report back to father, maybe another time ok?” He rubs my head before placing our foreheads together to let me know he loves me.

“Fine but I expect the best tea and snacks ever” I pout before skipping off down the hall.

“Are you not going to let the princess know?” Cove speaks as he finally removes himself from the darkness.

“She doesn’t need to know. I just want her to stay her happy self” Ordel comments before walking towards fathers office.

Third person POV

Ordel makes his way to the Emperor's office with a small sweat dripping down his temple, he was deeply worried about the mission he just finished.

Knocking on the closed door he waits to be let in.

“Enter” father orders. He instantly opens the door and makes his way to his fathers desk.

“Ordel! My boy, how are you!” He smiles brightly while gesturing to Ordel to greet him. As he made his way over to his side they placed their forehead together before he made his way back to infront of the desk.

“Father. The northern border had been seen by passersby with strange magic waves coming from the castle” Ordel comments instantly, this made the emperor shift in his seat.

“So what do you think it is?” he replies. Ordel takes a breath before answering.

“There have been rumours about Prince Blyur acting strange these days. According to some Intel it’s been seen he’s smiling” Ordel huffs, the emperor looks confused at his words.

“Smiling?” The emperor chuckles.

“Father, they've said it’s the most sinister smile they’ve ever seen and it never goes away, even at meal times” this sent a shiver down the emperor's spine. What could possibly be going on in the northeast empire.

“We need more information, but we should be on guard. I’m scared they might be ready to start a war on our empire” 

…..

As I walked through the rainforest area I soaked up the fresh feeling of being near plants and trees, the sound of the water spreading through the room made me smile deeply.

Settling down on a soft pillow I finally was able to relax and enjoy some time alone.

“Amaris!” I hear a name call out to me.

‘Peace ruined’

Looking up I noticed an older Altan walking towards me, his beauty was unmatchable, the way his fluffy white hair shined in the sun and his features started to grow more into a man was ridiculous.

“When did you get so pretty?” I pouted while looking away, he chuckled at my response before settling down beside me.

“Have you any thoughts about the coming of age ceremony?” he comments while leaning his head against my arm.

“Well according to my cards, I shall find love” I comment with a giggle as I pull out a card from my deck.

‘Not like I want it though’

“Wow, do me do me!” He Cheers brightly. I rummage through and pull out a card and laugh loudly which causes Altan to stress.

“What is it!” He yells while trying to grab the card. This makes me belly laugh even louder.

I turnt the card round to show the temptress which made him puzzled, no one knew what these cards meant except me that’s why I wanted to scare him.

“I’m not going to tell you, you will find out for yourself” I stick my tongue out in his direction which causes him to throw me into a headlock. 

“Tap out! Tap out!” I scream while tapping his arm, when did he get so strong.

“Want to do some training?” He comments while standing up and holding out a hand, I smile ear to ear knowing I can beat his a…

As we made our way to the training grounds I heard an earthquake roll towards us, but in an instant of me lifting my hand without looking his way he stopped and dropped down.

“Mura are you trying to hurt me?” I giggle now looking into his bright yellow eyes.

‘Sorry, I was just so excited to see you’ 

Now I have gained control over my power. I'm able to connect our minds as one, he’s able to communicate with me and it’s now so much easier. His species are very intelligent and I’ve learnt a lot about why they are so aggressive. Apparently there is a plant based in the animal tribe area which realises out a hormone which controls them and turns them into ravages.

“Come on Amaris! How long are you going to wait before I beat you!” Altan shouts as he gets ready in the area.

‘Trust me I’ll beat you’
