It's been thirty-two years since Maria and I came to the fairy realm. Maria, unfortunately, passed away fifteen years ago due to illness. Weeks after Raven, my half-sister, attempted to assassinate me she was put on trial and found guilty of high treason and was executed. I pleaded to my father to let her live, which shocked everyone, but he simply said: "My hands are tied, my child", my father wanted me to attend the execution, but Maria refused to let me go and if I'm being honest I didn't want to go. I eventually began calling Maria, mom and I knew that this one simple act made her very happy, I had also begun addressing Oberon as, father. My father had also gotten me a privet tutor to teach me everything from reading and writing to magic. I excelled in everything except for magic.

"Ah, Titania my dear how are your studies going?" Father asked, "Oh, they're going very well, I'm getting better with my magic." I said as I took my seat near my father at the long dining table, suddenly he began coughing violently, "Father!" I said worriedly as I ran to his side, "I'm alright my dear. It will take more than that to kill me." Father said, for years now my father had been suffering from poor health and his old age, after all, he has been ruling the entire fairy realm for over one hundred and twenty-six thousand years. "Father, please don't strain yourself." I said as I held his hand, "There's no need to worry yourself on my behalf." Father said, "Titania my dear I would like to discuss something very important." Father said, "What is it?" I asked, "I have had the honor and the pleasure of watching you grow up since you were a small child. Now that you are a young woman and beginning to find your own path I fear that I will not get to see what becomes of you." Father said, "I know that I shall die soon and when this happens you will inherit my throne and kingdom. However, you are still young, if I would compare you to one of those humans from your old world you would only be fifteen of their years. I know that you would make an excellent queen, but I fear that others would think you incompetent because of your age. I have compiled a list of possible suitors, I would like for you to choose one of them to marry." Father said as he handed me a large stack of papers, "Father, I can't help but notice that the entirety of this list is comprised of men. I've found I quite enjoy the company of the fairer sex." I said with a slight laugh, "This is the first I've heard of this!" Father said, "I'm only kidding Father, I've found that both men, as well as women, are both equally sweet and both have a bitterness to them." I said causing Father to laugh, "I see well, please just look at the list even if you don't have any interest in them." Father said, "Alright I will." I said.

It wasn't long before my father passed away. I was forced to choose a suitor. Out of all the men I had looked at only one appealed to me, his name was Albion. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He had pale skin and a soft and soothing voice.
"Oh, mistress Titania you look absolutely beautiful!" Flora said. Flora was one of my handmaidens and one of my closest friends, she wore a necklace with a blue pendant in it and she never once took it off. "You really think so? I feel so out of place wearing this dress." I said, "Mistress you look just as beautiful if not more so than your mother who wore that very dress when she married your father." Flora said. She was right about one thing my mother's dress was beautiful, it was a plane white gown with transparent sleeves. The skirt of the dress was encrusted with diamonds arranged into intricate patterns and two large sapphires were embedded at the base of the sleeves. "Flora, may I ask you something?" I asked, "Anything my mistress." Flora said as she brushed my hair, "What should I do?" I asked, "I do not understand my lady. What do you mean?" Flora asked, "I do not love Albion. I fear I will never love anyone." I said, "Mistress I am certain that you will one day find love." Flora said, "How about this, the two of us run away together." I said, "Oh my, mistress we couldn't." Flora said as she began to blush, "Oh I'm only teasing, but I must say that it hurts to be rejected by my best and closest friend." I said as Flora put a silver circlet with a large sapphire in the center. "Now what did I tell you, you look absolutely breathtaking." Flora said, "Beautiful. You told me that I look beautiful in this dress." I said, "Ah yes, my mistake milady." Flora said.

The wedding went exactly as planned. The ceremony was long and drawn out. Flora cried during the ceremony. I hated every second of that wedding. In part, the entire thing was just for show, I was never meant to have any power as my father had intended. Shortly after I presented my choice for my suitor the council went behind my back and that upon our union my husband would receive the name of the fairy king Oberon and in turn be crowned the ruler of the entire fairy realm. I had become nothing more than a figurehead, a simple accessory to the king. "Lady Titania are you ready?" Flora asked, "As I'll ever be." I said as I exited the bath, "I must say that the thought of consummating this farce of a marriage sickens me." I said, "I know milady, but I'm afraid that you have no choice." Flora said, "Unless I don't." I said.
"Ah, finally the queen is ready to consummate our marriage." Albion said, "Yes but I hope you don't mind my handmaid being in attendance. I am terribly young and wildly inexperienced in the ways of bodily pleasure." I said as Flora bowed, "N-no, we can do this another time." Albion said, "Very well, I shall be sleeping in my old room." I said, "That is fine, but do not expect this often." Albion said, "Yes my dear husband and my king." I said as I bowed before Flora and I left.
"We did it!" I said happily as I hugged Flora tightly, "That we did milady. I should be on my way, as the new queen you need your rest." Flora said, "Flora, w-would you please grant me a selfish request?" I asked, "Anything you ask of me is yours, my queen." Flora said, "Would you please sleep with me tonight, I miss Mom and I just don't want to be alone tonight." I said, "As you wish my queen." Flora said.

<six months later>

It's been six months since I married Albion, and I can't help but feel that he's been hiding something from me. So I set a trap, I told him I was going to an orphanage to play with the children and to read to them for a few days. I hoped that my lie would give him the incentive to do whatever it is he has been hiding from me.
"Oh come now Flora my dear what's so different this time?" Albion said, "Stop! I don't want to do this!" Flora said as I ran into the room and saw Albion forcing himself onto her. "Mistress." Flora said with tear-filled eyes, "Flora come here." I said as Albion let her go, I took off the cloak I was wearing and gave it to Flora. "Albion." I said angrily, "Oh don't be mad, this is your fault, after all, TItania." Albion said, "I was left with no other choice than to do the deed with Flora since you would not." Albion said I began to laugh, "Oh you fool! I'm not mad that you slept with her, I'm mad that you lied!" I said, "Albion do you know why I chose you?" I asked, "No and I do not care, I only agreed to marry you for the throne and power. Honestly, why would I marry a woman whos claim to the throne is ephemeral at best." Albion said, "That didn't stop you from planning to marry my sister." I said, "You do remember my older sister Raven don't you?" I said, "She was executed. But what if I told you, she was still alive?" I said earning a shocked look from him, "Flora I believe it's time." I said, "Yes mistress." Flora said as she took off her necklace and shattered the pendent causing her appearance to change back to her original form, she returned to being my half-sister Raven. "H-how?!" Albion said, "It was all thanks to Maria. The records may show that I died, however, that is far from the truth." Raven said, "Maria came in and stopped the executioner's blade. She offered a solution that didn't involve my death on behalf of my sister. My death would be faked and I would serve as my sister's retainer, my appearance would be altered, and if I would ever act against her or attempt to remove the pendant I would die. It's no coincidence that "Flora" came into my sister's service mear hours after my execution." Raven said, "In these past thirty-two years I have learned so much about my dear sister and I have grown to love her." Raven said suddenly Albion began to laugh, "What's so funny?" I asked, "You both are fools. You have just given me information and proof that could ruin you! And for that you are fools." Albion said as he walked over to me and grabbed my chin, "Now the both of you will do as I say or I will tell everyone about how the young princess stopped the execution of a traitor and has been hiding her here in the castle." Albion said, "No." I said, "YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU!" Albion shouted as he ripped my clothes off and grabbed my bare breast, "You're mine!" Albion said, "I am not and I will never be your whore!" I said as I slapped his hands away, "YOU DON'T HAVE A SAY IN THE MATTER!" Albion shouted as he grabbed my hand and throat and pushed me against the wall, "DON'T YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON MY SISTER!" Raven shouted as she drew her dagger and tried to stab Albion, but before she could he let me go and caught her wrist relinquishing her of her dagger and used it to stab her, "DON'T HURT MY SISTER!" I shouted as I grabbed Albion's dagger which he had on the table and stabbed him with it, "Y-you bitch!" Albion said before I plunged the dagger deeper into him. I pulled the dagger from him and let him fall to the floor in a bloody heap. "RAVEN!" I said worriedly as I ran to my sister, "T-Titania I'll be alright." Raven lied, "Yes you will be fine." I said as I pulled the dagger out of her and began to use healing magic on her. It was a slow, tedious, and exhausting endeavor, but it was worth it because I had saved my sister's life. "Titania the pendant's broken and so is the spell that cloaked my appearance. We are going to have to tell the kingdom what really happened." Raven said, "I know, and now I shall take the title of Oberon and rule this kingdom as Father intended." I said.

The next day I was ready to address my people. "HEAR ME! THE KING IS DEAD!" I said, "Late last night King Oberon Albion was stricken with madness and attacked me and my retainer. Unfortunately, I was forced to end his life after he stabbed my sister." I said sturring the masses, I raised my hand to calm them, "I know you are all confused and would like some answers. But please hear me out." I said, "as you know, thirty-two short years ago my half-sister Raven tried to murder me. She was found guilty of high treason and was executed, however, that is far from what truly happened." I said, "My nursemaid Maria and I devised a plan to end the execution. You see I hate the thought of death or war. I have seen more of both than any of you will ever know, Maria knew that deep down I did not wish Raven dead so she took up a blade and stopped the execution. When confronted by my father Maria told him of our plan, our plan to save Raven's life and have jer serve as my retainer. Under the influence of a magic pendant which bound her to me and altered her physical appearance, she has been faithfully serving me these past thirty-two years." I said sturring the masses into a frenzy, I once again calmed the masses, "I understand that I have just told you sounds insane but it is the truth. I have all the proof you will need here." I said as Raven joined me and stood at my side. "Raven Darkshire, the traitor who attempted to end my life as a child, stands her alive and well not as a traitor but as my beloved half-sister." I said, "I have decided to take up the title of Oberon and become the queen and true ruler of the fairy realm." I said, "And it would be my honor to have my sister at my side to teach and guide me every step of the way." I said as I turned to my sister, "So will you please stay by my side?" I asked as I extended my hand to her, "It would be my honor, Queen Oberon Titania." Raven said as she took a knee and my hand before she kissed the top of my hand.

<three weeks later>

"This is so boring." I pouted, "Stop pouting." Raven said as she hit the table with the long wooden pointer she had. "You're so mean sis! First, you fire my tutor because you disagreed with her views on prison reform policies, then you insist on teaching me yourself!" I said, "Titania as queen you have an unbelievable weight on your shoulders and you must know all there is about being a queen and ruling a kingdom. Our father and your mother both had to learn this as well." Raven said as she pulled her blackboard over and began to draw. "Now to begin we will start with knowing our world and her neighbors. We live in the wonderful world of Alfheim. The realm to our right is the world of Asgard and to the left the infant world of Earth, that's where you're from." Raven said as she pointed at the drawing of Earth with her stick. "That stick, suit, and those glasses give you too much power! I'm a queen, you can't tell me what to do." I said as I reached for a cookie suddenly she hit my hand with her stick, "You may be the queen, but I'm your big sister that means I outrank you, your highness." Raven said, "Now travel between Alfheim and Asgard is highly restricted. Only the king, queen, the council, and anyone the king or queen deems worthy to join them." Raven said, "While Earth can be traveled to it has only been done once, by yours truly, and never attempted again. Travel there has yet to have any sort of restrictions." Raven said, "Wait, no restrictions?" I said, "Yes, no one wants to go to a world where God and a primordial being are at war." Raven said, "I want to go!" I said excitedly as I stood up, "Sit back down, you're not going anywhere." Raven said, "The gate is only able to stay open for moments at a time. Without a proper tether, the gate will never stay open." Raven said, "Well what constitutes a tether?" I asked, "Well any object of notable power from our world." Raven said, "So something like that!" I said as I pointed at Father's sword, "Yes I suppose Excalibur would suffice, however, I would highly advise against it." Raven said, "But think about it! If we had a good relationship with Earth than we'd be privy to unique resources, new cultures, and technologies, and the potential for future development is staggering!" I said, "Yes, but in order to even attempt this endeavor you will need volunteers, extensive studies, and years upon years of testing. I doubt that you have that much patience." Raven said, "You know me so well." I said as I stood up and hugged my sister, "Which is why I will be going on my own." I said, "Absolutely not! Titania I am the only family you have left and if something would happen to you." Raven said, "Raven I'll be fine, and you're not the only family I have left." I said as I picked up Father's sword.

"It's been thirty-two years since I left this place and now I'm finally back. I'm finally home." I said.
I decided to go to visit Mama's grave and when I arrived I found a man sitting at her grave. I immediately knew exactly who it was that was sitting there, "Hello, Papa." I said, "Titania?" Papa said in confusion, "I'm home Papa, I'm finally home." I said as I hugged my father, "Titania, you've grown so much!" Papa said, "Actually Papa I tend to go by Oberon now." I said, "Oberon? What's wrong with the name you're mother and I gave you?" Papa said, "Absolutely nothing! It's my title, my full name is Oberon Titania, High Queen of Alfheim." I said, "When did you become a queen?" Papa asked proudly, "Well after I got married I became a puppet queen but after I killed my husband I became the high queen." I said, "Well then Queen Titania, I would be delighted to hear all about your adventures." Papa said, "And I would love to tell you all about them, but first I have business to attend to with your permission of course." I said, "By all means, my darling attend to whatever business you have." Papa said I smiled and walked over to the large stone used to mark Mama's grave, I drew Excalibur and stabbed it into the stone, "This point will hear by tether the world of Alfheim and Earth. In the name of Queen Oberon Titania, I make this decree!" I said and the once rusted blade turned to gold. "There, now that that's done we can talk." I said, "Titania, why would you do that to your mother's grave?!" Papa asked coldly, "Because I couldn't think os a better place for it, and there's no one who I trust more to watch over it and entrust it to a worthy wielder than Mama." I said.
After that, I told Papa all about my time in Alfheim.

Years later some of the residences of Alfheim began to come to Earth. I taught monsters who had an affinity for magic how to alter their appearance, even some humans were taught how to use magic. For hundreds of thousands of years, monsters and humans live in content tolerance with one another...until the humans began hunting monsters for sport or glory. This, in turn, led to a division between the monsters. Some wished to continue to live with the humans, while others felt that the humans were nothing but a pestilence that needed to be eradicated. I felt that the humans just needed guidance and to learn more about us. While my father felt that the humans were pests and worth less than nothing. This is how the Great War began. I led the army to save the humans and my father led the army to eradicate them. In the end, neither side was victorious. My generals and I were imprisoned and my father's soul was hidden and sealed away. 

<present day>

"So tell me, Blake, what exactly is it that I don't know? Cause it seems to me that you're the one who's in the dark here." I said, "I-I had no idea." Blake said, "Blake would you like to make up for this mistake?" I asked, "Yes, more than anything!" Blake said, "Good, then as penance, you can save my life before you head to Egypt." I said, "What do you mean?" Blake asked, "I will send you back in time and you will save my life. Good luck." I said as I sent Blake back in time.
