Darkness

Fear

Chaos

And Unity

Two slim female figures sat in the shadows.
Both eyes shone like stars and both wore dark cloaks

The smaller of the two cleared her throat, speaking in her whispery-calm voice.

"This is ridiculous" she said in a hissing voice.

"Patience, Unity" spoke the eldest.

The younger, Unity, turned her star-bright eyes to the older.

"Chaos, they're cowards. They won't show up. Why bother sitting in the cold all night?" she questioned.

"Patience, sister" Chaos whispered.

"That's exactly what mother said. Look what happened"

Unity was referring to their mother, Tranquility.

Tranquility had been shot down in a battle by a dark fairy.

This was why the four sisters were fighting.

Unity remembered her mother's scream of pain as the arrow sliced through her chest.

She remembered her last words, crawling in her and her sisters' ears like frost centipedes

Four sisters
Two armies
Fearless spirits
Relentless hearts
One shall rise
Three shall fall
One will learn to bow to a fate that is stronger and higher"

Then she remembered her sputtering and going limp.

Unity bit back a sob and tightened her wings together. Their mother was the only one who understood her.

Unity wasn't the sweet princess that spirits saw.

No

Inside she was dark.

Unity was snapped out of her thoughts as she heard a twig snap
And then a loud voice yelling,
"ATTACK!"
