Chapter 6 - Callen

Okay, that pic is supposed to be his mom. Soooooo now enjoy(and vote if you did) . :3

"Now careful, Callen, dear," the boy's mother, Queen Marigold, called to him thought the red and gold leaved forest. Her pitch black hair waved in the soft breeze. She wore a crown of gold leaves and bright green eyes. She chased after her 9 year old son with graceful footing. When the young prince reached the border where the bright forest met ice and snow, he stopped.

When Marigold caught up to him, she saw what he was looking at. Or rather- who. A girl who looked no older, if not younger, than Callen walked through the maze of white flowers and leaves. Her hair was a shade of white blond and her skin was as pale as ice. She wore a dress that was dark blue with a cloak of white.

"Mother, who's that?" Callen asked in awe.

"Her name's Princess Frost, dear," she tried to keep her tone light.

"Princess Frost? Mother, how come I've never seen her before?"

"Now, that's because she's from the ice Kingdom. Now, promise me something, Callen," Queen Marigold turned to face her son.

"Anything, Mother," Callen replied.

"I expect that Princess Frost will be queen soon enough. Promise me, Callen, that you will stay away from her. Stay away from the ice queen..."

Callen was thinking that he wouldn't see her ever again. So he promised. "I promise, Mother."

🔥 ❄ 🔥

It was weeks after Callen and Marigold seeing Frost at the edge of the Ice Kingdom. An attack on the Fire palace ended up with nine dead guards and plenty more wounded. But worst of all, their beloved Queen Marigold had fallen victim to the attacks.

"NOOOOOOO!" Callen screamed as the assassin's sword reached his mother's flesh. He stabbed her with a wicked smile on his face. Out of rage, Callen grabbed the nearest guards sword and rushed forward. He severed the man's head as his eyes went wide with fear. The decapitated head rolled off, the evil smile still planted on the assassin's face.

Callen rushed to his mother's inanimate body and slumped over it. "Mother, Mother, please be okay," he begged, tears streaming down his face.

"Callen, dear," she whispered, her voice hoarse from screaming. "I love you. I love your father, and your brother... But you the most. Remember your promise Callen..." and with those last words, she closed her eyes and her heartbeat stopped.

"No! Mother, no, please don't leave me!" he pleaded. A hand meant for comfort appeared at his shoulder, but he didn't notice. He was already sent into a sea of tears, and he was drowning, drowning, drowning...
