The Shivoa Empire, located on an massive island to the north, this Kingdom stands tall and proud. It's ruler being none other than King Mitchell Hughes, a.k.a King Mitch. Although Shivoa is the oldest standing, it is the smallest in population due to its terrain. But the Kingdom always seems to be having a festival of sorts due to its lighthearted and mixed groups. Sorcery is welcomed with open arms making Shivoa full of traveling mages and magic shops.

And to stand beside the King, Queen Jessica Hughes, (Mitch's IRL girlfriend might I point out). Shivoa is a very cultured filled place and accepting, peaceful land, but King Mitch isn't a fool. He always has something up his sleeve. But as of late, Jessica and Mitch's closest friends are concerned for the King's health as he is more worn down than usually. He always has an excuse though, so they don't think too much of it. Expected for Jessica of course.

Queen Jessica smiles, watching the sunrise as she leans against the balcony rails. She sighs. 'First time in a long time, no screaming kid to wake me up in the morning.' She thought smiling. The Queen is a beautiful skinny and young woman with a dark blue dress that reaches her knees, she has tanned skin with brown eyes, brown long hair and a ring on her left hand.

"Jessica!"

She turns seeing Mitch come in with his hair a mess, dark circles under his eyes, and Katherine, their six year old daughter, clinging to his right leg like a koala. Katherine giggles. Mitch looks at her and then at Jessica.

"Can you help me, please?  I've been dragging her around for about two hours now, she has a death grip on my leg that I can't get off." Mitch said. Jessica smiles and walks over to him. She looks at Katherine. Katherine tightens her hold on Mitch's leg. She meets Mitch's blue eyes.

"She looks like she is having fun." Jessica said. King Mitch looks at Katherine. The six year old has long brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin and a dark green dress with black shoes on. He looks back at Jessica, seeming too exhausted to argue back and try to free his leg again. Jessica chuckles. "Hey, don't look at me. You're the one who wanted to cuddle six years ago." Mitch crosses his arms at her.

"And as I recall I actually just wanted to cuddle, you are just really good at it." Mitch said. King Mitchell is a semi-tall skinny, young man. He has messy caramel brown hair that covers his crystal blue eyes slightly, he has a semi-opened white tunic, black trousers with brown boots that stop mid-calf, a ring on his left hand, golden dog tags on a black cord around his neck, a red cape that hangs from his shoulders and reaches his calves and a sword strapped to his left side. Mitch uncrosses his arms. "Just..please..I'm tired and want to sleep." Jessica chuckles.

"Alright." She said. She crouches down and prys Katherine off Mitch's leg. "Come on, honey, let's give Daddy a break." Jessica stands up, holding Katherine up against her left hip. "Did you help your Father with his work?" Katherine nods. Jessica smiles and looks at Mitch. She leans forward and she pecks a kiss on his lips as her hand touches his cheek. "Babe, go lay down. You look like you are gonna fall over." Mitch walks pass her and than stops. He shakes his head and turns around.

"No..No. I can't. I have stuff to do." Mitch said. Jessica puts Katherine down, concerned. Katherine leaves the room. Jessica moves over to Mitch.

"I'm sure it can wait, I don't want you passing out from exhaustion again." She said touching his arm. Mitch looks at her, he gives her a small smile before he kisses her forehead.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I prom---Arrgghhh!" Mitch said annoyed. "Leg." Jessica laughs as she see Katherine back on Mitch's leg.

"She's stubborn like you are." Jessica pointed out. Mitch rolled his eyes, not feeling like arguing at all. Mitch pulls Jessica closer, his hand lifts up her chin before their lips meet in a kiss. Jessica's arms snake around Mitch's neck, pulling him closer. Katherine suddenly gets a disgusted look appear on her face.

"EEEEwww!" Katherine shouted. She gets off Mitch's leg and runs out of the room. Mitch breaks the kiss and smiles.

"I knew that would work." He said as their foreheads touch. Jessica smiles, her cheeks reddening.

"How's the camp? Are they okay?" Jessica asks. Mitch leans away from her, looking confused for a few moments and then remembers.

"Ohh..r-right. I forgot, just so many things to do and..I don't know. I'll have to check in--" Jessica touches his arm. Her eyes look at him up and down, she know he has bags under her eyes, but his messy hair and poor posture gets to her. 'This is just how he was after his father died and he had to take the throne when he was sixteen. It's coming back and I'm not letting those consequences come back.' She thought. 

"Mitch, you okay? You don't seem like yourself." She said. Mitch nods.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I need to go." Mitch said. Jessica grabs his arms, stopping him as he tries to leave. Mitch looks at her. "What is it?" Jessica lifts her hand up, hesitant at first, but she puts her hand on Mitch's forehead. "W-What are you doing?" Jessica lowers her hand.

"You have me really worried about you--"

"Jessica."

"I'm sorry, but you have seem more exhausted than usual and this is just how you acted after your father died an--" Mitch takes her hands into his and moves close to her.

"Jess....I would tell you if something was, you know I would." Mitch said. She nods, her eyes flickering up to his. He rests his forehead against hers. "The Dark and Light Mage War has just been a lot to handle paperwork wise with mages living in Shivoa. I promise you that I'm fine, just a little tired from all this work." Jessica looks down at his feet.

"I'm sorry...I'm still not use to all this royalty stuff, being born in the slums and all to being a Queen is a lot." She said. Mitch smiles a little, he puts his hand under her chin and lifts up her head see their eyes connect.

"I don't regret falling in love with you." He said softly. Jessica smiles at him.

"And I don't either..." Jessica said.

"That was...terrible, Mitch." A voice said. Mitch loses his smile and looks behind him seeing Jerome leaning against the doorway behind him. Mitch lowers his hand from Jessica's chin. Jessica smiles at Jerome.

"Hey Jerome, how much did you hear?" She said. Jerome crosses his arms.

"Enough to know that I'll keep an extra close eye on Mitch for you if you are concerned for him." Jerome said. Jessica nods.

"Thank you." She said. Jerome nods, smiling. Mitch looks at her. She places her hand on his cheek and she pecks a kiss on his lips. Mitch smiles a little as his cheeks heat up. Then he suddenly sighs, irritated, while Jerome starts laughing.

"There is a Princess on my leg again." Mitch said. Jessica laughs.

As soon as they got into the forest, Jason stopped at the first sight of blood. He went down on one knee and picked up a bloodied cloth. Ian walks over by him looking at it.

"That's not a good sign." He said.

"He's definitely hurt, we need to find him." Red said. Jason stands up, looking around.

"Soliders...Estronian Soldiers are nearby. There is another Prince in these woods." Jason said.

"Prince Calvin." Ian grumbled.

"Or Prince Tyler." Red said. Jason looked at them.

"My guess is Prince Calvin. Prince Tyler is Captain of Estron's Navy force and is probably at sea right now. But either way, both Princes are not on good terms with our Prince." Jason said. Jason looks at the bloodied cloth. "And this just worries me, because Adam isn't alone. But has another person with them. The missing Princess."

"Jessica, you think he took her with him?" Ian asks.

"I think he had no choice, he had too." Jason said. Red walks pass him.

"We better hurry. In these woods, Estronian's have the upper hand and who knows what mage could be lurking around." Red said.  Jason drops the cloth and they all take off going deeper into the woods.

Jason's eyes scanned ahead, his eye's flicker with his sees them and hears horses.

"I was right! Estronian guards and they found them, both of them. The Prince and Princess. And it's a Estron Prince." Jason said.

"Which one?!" Red asks.

"Does it matter who?! I'll kill them both if they touch Prince Adam!" Ian shouted.

"It does matter! One can be reasoned with and the other cannot be." Jason said.

"Who is it?" Red asks. Jason narrows his eyes.

"Doesn't matter, we are within feet."

"Get ready to fight, Adam is hurt so defend him and the Princess." Ian said pulling out his sword. Red pulls out his sword. Ian looks at Jason. "Jason! Hide someplace and if you get the chance, shoot down the Estron Prince is he threatens Adam."

"But Ian--"

"Our job is to protect the Skaldian Prince! If that Estron Prince is about to attack, you take a shot at him!" Ian ordered making Jason flinch. Jason looks away, staring ahead.

"Yes, sir." Jason snapped making Ian look at him. Jason splits away from the two as they hear a scream. Ian jumps over a fallen tree and knocks spears away as he stands in front of Adam and Jessica. Jessica is hidden behind Adam, who's thigh is still bleeding, she looks over Adam's shoulder, clinging to his arm. Ian looks behind him, at the Prince.

"Adam, you okay?" Ian asks.

"Fine." Adam said. Ian looks at his wounded leg.

"Bullsh*t. Ross did that didn't he?" Ian asks. Jessica nods.

"Y-Yes. But--"

"Ahhh...More Skaldians to ruin my day." A voice said. Ian grips his sword in both hands, meeting eyes with the Estron Prince.

"What are you doing here?" Ian asks. Red goes down beside Adam.

"Let me see your leg." Red said. Adam winces when Red touches the wrap. Ian faces the guards and the Estron Prince.

"Shouldn't you be on a boat somewhere?" Ian asks. The Estron Prince chuckles. He lowers his hood.

"That's funny, but I'm not allowed to let you leave." He said.

"Prince Ty." Adam mumbled. Ian grips his sword. Red grabs a knife, putting his arm in front of Adam. Jess looks at Red, confused.

"Wh-What? What's wrong?" She asks. Ian's grip tightens on his sword.

"Prince Ty is known for his skills in advanced combat, like Prince Adam is. But he is also in charge of Estron's entire Navy Force." Ian grumbled.

"Jess, even isolated in your Kingdom, you have to have heard stories about the Prince with a Two-Colored Eyes."  Adam said. Jess looks at Ty. 'Different colored eyes? I heard of a Prince like that. The Two-Colored Eyed Prince, but wait this is that Prince?!' Jess thought. Prince Tyler, or as people call him Prince Ty, is the second eldest son of the Estron Royal Family. He is a young and skinny man. He has light brown hair, black jeans, a loose-fitting white shirt that exposes part of his chest, his right eye is red that is hidden behind his hair and his left eye is green, a sword strapped to his back, dark brown jacket with a hood that conceals most of his face and a green bracelet on his wrist. Jess tightens her grip on Adam's arm. Prince Ty rolls his eyes.

"You know how annoying it is to only be recognized by my eyes? Well..I'm not the only one with unique eyes, right Prince Adam?" Prince Ty asks.

"Wait, Prince Ty, aren't Estron and Shivoa on good terms?" Red asks. Prince Ty nods, looking at Red. Adam's eyes flicker up, seeing Clara in a tree.

"Yes..Why?" Prince Ty asks.

"Because Shivoa is about to get overrun." Red said. Adam looks at Ian.

"Wh-What?" Adam asks. Prince Ty stares at him and than looks at Adam.

"What's he talking about?" Ty asks. Red steps forward.

"King Luther and King Zane, are about to invade Shivoa and kill the Hughes Royal Blood Line once and for all. I know you may not believe us, but would you risk the chance of losing the Shivoa Empire?" Red asks. Jess gasps and shakes her head.

"My father would never do that without reason." Jess said.

"Mine wouldn't hesitate." Adam said. Prince Ty looks at Adam and than turns halfway, looking up at Clara.

"Clara, notify Seto and King Mitchell of this. Truth or not, better to be prepared for a possible invasion than to risk lives." Prince Ty said. Clara nods and leaves them. Jess stands up.

"Who's Seto?" She asks. Prince Ty looks at her.

"One of the Light Mage Elitists. They are the most powerful in the magic community." Prince Ty said. Jason suddenly appears beside Adam making him and Jess flinch when he suddenly spoke.

"King Luther tried to take care of Prince Adam and Princess Jessica." Jason said. Prince Ty sighs.

"Well...I can't leave you here, my father would just send me straight back to find you all again." He said. The guards put away their weapons. "So follow me...and try to keep up."
