Kallias pov

I walk through the corridors of the castle. I wipe the blood from my face, I love fighting but I don't enjoy killing, which is why I wasn't too pleased when I became a queensguard but I actually enjoy it now. It's a good job and I'm good at it and the Queensguard also has their own little army so that's also fun we also sometimes go on quests because the queen is still a princess at the moment. I want to walk inside the throne room when Timaios emerges from it and almost step on my foot. "sorry, I didn't see you there Kallias" "It's okay Timmy. I hope you're doing good." He nods and rubs his thumb on my face "There was still a little blood" he says awkwardly. I smack him as a joke and he laughs it off. I walk into the throne room. The King is waiting for me, "Your Majesty, you've requested my presence." "Yes Kallias, please remind me how old you are." "I'm nineteen your majesty. One year younger than Philomena and Timaios." "Very well, what do you think if you'd marry Philomena this year?" my whole brain shuts down "t-This year? Like now??" "Yes" I try to speak but my mouth doesn't cooperate. I take a deep breath and compose myself again "Majesty at the moment I'm in a position to follow not to lead so whatever you and my father deem right I will follow your orders as the soldier I was raised to be" "Very well, than it is decided. But Kallias please, try to let her fall in love a little bit. I don't want her to never feel it." I want to say that he shouldn't arrange a marriage if that would be the truth. But I bite my tongue. "When are you going to tell her?" "I'll tell her when she is ready." I sigh. I walk away. The black leather and armour smell very familiar, I've worn clothes like this since I was able to fight. I walk through the grey square of the castle Timmy is waiting for me. "What was that about? And why the grim face?" "I'm okay" I say "I didn't ask that but I think you're lying my friend." It begins to rain. Timmy smiles at me. "You're also a bit late you need to go on the last border patrol of the evening not far from here. The horses are ready and your team is too so don't hesitate to run" I laugh and jog away. I catch myself smiling. I drop the smile and my whole face is immediately emotionless.

Emilio pov

In a week there will be a special occasion where we sign the end of the war. I'm tired but happy with the outcome. I can't push my citizens any further, they're done. I'm done with war. I look at my crown and sigh. This is the right decision, or is it. I put on my crown the sun shines through the windows. Another day for the kingdom, another day to survive, another day to make my dad proud. I don't know how many there will be I hope endless years.

Timaios pov

I haven't slept this night so I decide to sleep a little. I don't get why Kallias was so weird when I asked what my father told him most of the time he's very open about anything to me. I fall asleep

I see a person that looks like a minui (an elf close to a god, we worship them) and the other one looks weirdly familiar, he has red hair and scars on his face. The minui has a skin that looks like a night sky, hair that mesmerizes anyone who would see it and a sword as sharp as the tongue from a dragon. "Please Altair, we're friends, I loved you. Don't do this." "I Loved you too, But the world has no place in our situation, your world has no place in your bed and neither in mine, you forfeit all right you had to my love, my heart and my soul. I will only have the memories left. I wish you burn in the deepest pits of the things we'd supposedly call hell, I wish you die in your own poison and blood." I see an explosion from blood and immediately wake up. I comb through my white hair. My real hair looks exactly like that from my mother but my mom died when I was four so I don't like being reminded. That's why most people think I'm a natural ginger. I hate nightmares but they follow me wherever I go. I grab my blouse and stand up.

Philomena pov

I'm Riding my horse through the woods. My white dress is dirty and I don't care. I love the freedom of the woods I scream on the top of my lungs when I hear an elf telling me of because I'm disturbing the peace of the woods. I laugh and I feel that my horse also liked that reaction. Elves are protectors of woods but that's exactly the reason why my dad doesn't necessarily like them if he want to make a tower or anything somewhere there will be elves that will try to stop him because they believe the forest and it's life is sacred. I don't know about sacred but I get it. They live in it so they need it. Elves are tough creatures and will not give up something they love. I'm refilling my waterskin when I hear cries of an animal of some sort. I follow the sounds when I find a human with a red coat laying on the ground crying. I look at his foot which is stuck in a trap it,s bleeding and because of that I can't see his foot clearly. I walk towards him with my knife to free him when he notices and looks up and hisses, his sharp teeth and red eyes scare me. I back away, he has purple skin, horns, fangs and pointy ears. I've never seen something like this. He hisses at me. I don't know what to do. "What are you?" I ask
