Once there were two kingdoms each holding two of the elements. Water and wind was held by Dongtian Wu Bing kingdom 洞天武兵国
Fire and Earth held by the Huǒhóng méiguī 火红梅桂. Over 500 years ago a war between the two kingdoms began and has been ongoing to this day. With it having been so long neither king or queen now knew why this war was happening or why it had begun in the first place but what they did know is that if their fathers and all their grandfathers before them had felt it was needed to continue this then they would not be the ones responsible for ending it… little did they know that their two sons may or not one day end up being the ones that finally do. Pyro Dragonshard the son of king Dragonshard of the fire and earth elements was 21 years old the day his father told him he would be coming along with him to attend a dinner at the kingdom of Wu Bing which, as far as he knew, was the first time the two kings had ever come face to face without another war breaking out in the process. Pyro was informed that king Bluepunch had a son 2 years younger than him that would be attending the dinner as well, his name was Hydrox Bluepunch and according to his father Hydrox was kind prince whom respected even kingDragonshard the man who was supposed to be the enemy of his own kingdom. Pyro got ready and then met his father in the carriage out in the gardens and together they began on their way. Meanwhile at the Mu bing kingdom Hydrox Bluepunch was a - nervous wreck the moment his father informed him he would be attending the dinner as well. The only thing Hydrox could think of was that another war was going to break out right there in his kingdom's dining hall. Hydrox was worried but also knew he could not go against his fathers wishes so in the end decided to attend alongside him. Little did Hydrox know in the end a lot more than just a dinner would happen and there was some big news that would be revealed that could possibly change his life forever.
Hydrox had just arrived in the dining hall and sat down next to his father when the butler came in and informed them that the dragonshards had arrived. Pyro and his father were then escorted into the dining hall and seated across from Hydrox and his father. Once everyone was seated dinner was brought out and placed on the table. After the plates were made king Bluepunch spoke up. “So I'm aware that the two of you do not know why this dinner has been arranged.” King Bluepunch began. “Truth be told this dinner was arranged to discuss you two and the taking over of our thrones.” King Bluepunch said to Hydrox and Pyro. at the mention of taking his fathers throne Hydrox immediately choked up. Take over his fathers throne! Hydrox was only 19, barely even an adult! There was now way that he could possibly be fit to be the king of Dongtian Wu Bing! Pyro on the other hand was nothing but annoyed by this fact. He himself did not want to be the king of his land although he was indeed aware of this arrangement so he spoke up. “What exactly does that have to do with us though if I may ask?” That is when his father spoke up. “Well due to you two taking our places as the new kings we saw it fit for you two to meet. Of course as you know our two kingdoms do not never have and most likely never will see eye to eye, but it is always a necessary thing for new kings to meet. My father did it with me and his with his and so on.” he paused before continuing. “My father liked to say that he made us meet our fellow king so that we would know whom we are having a war with. I like to say we do it to know who's going to upset us enough to make us cause a rampage.” King dragonshard said. Pyro just sighed as he sat there in his seat next to his father. Hydrox on the other hand was silently staring at his plate of food trying to process everything he had just learned when suddenly another thing was thrown at him which made him panic even more than he already was. “Of course since you are becoming the new kings you will also have to get a queen to stand beside you so within the next 2-3 weeks we will be attempting to find each of you a woman in which you will then be engaged to. Once we find that certain woman we will take one week to finish the wedding planning.” king Bluepunch stated. That Pyro was not aware of himself. He knew that at one point he would have to get married but he did not expect it to happen so quickly and so soon. Pyro was not ready to commit to marriage although he also knew he didn't have a choice. Pyro also knew that he would not be the one picking his bride that would all be up to his father. It didn't matter if he liked one of the candidates because if his father didn't it was out the door with them. Pyro also knew that it didn't matter if he hated her with everything he was because if his father liked her it was he one he spent his life with. Hydrox was now sitting in his seat eyes on the ground trying his best not to have a panic attack while everyone else silently ate their food.
After dinner was finished Hydrox made it to his chambers and got into his night clothes before lying down. That night Hydrox did not get much sleep and spent the entire night thinking of what laid ahead of him…
