The Destined Heir
"Great fortune! Your Majesty!"
"Tell me his future!"
"Great power, Your Majesty! This child is no ordinary! This child will be the most powerful
magical being that ever lived. His medallion will not be able to contain his powers!"
"The great heir to my throne! My grea-"
"But... Your Majesty... There appears to be a prophecy." Said the Wizard timidity.
"What prophecy?" The King said narrowing his eyes.
"If the Prince makes eye contact with a Southerner... Great tragedy shall come before the
kingdom... Ruins upon ruins. The kingdom will be nothing more than a chapter in history
books."
"Silence! No tragedy shall come to my kingdom! No Southerner shall be alive in my kingdom!"
The child was named Prince Eric, the destined heir to the Hope Throne. The King ordered his
guards to kill every Southerner in the kingdom.
The True Love
"Do you really love that girl, son?"
"With all my heart, father."
"Choose wisely, you're not just choosing a wife, you're choosing the future queen of the
kingdom."
"I know what I'm doing, father."
"I hope you do, son. Kingdom of Flame is a very tricky kingdom to deal with. Also, I know
Agnes is adopted. Do you know where she is originally from? Edith never told me."
"From the South but when th-"
"Silence!"
A dark expression fell on the king's face, his heart started racing. The wizard's words ringing
inside his head.
Ruins upon ruins.
The king cupped his beloved son's face between his hands and said, "Forgive me son."
Coronation Day
The King of Hope has appointed his younger son, Prince Oliver as the Crown Prince.
"He just won't die! We tried many different swords!" said the guards to each other in hushed
voices. "The blades just break when it touches his neck, and that bloody medallion is not coming
off." "He is hell of a monster, I tell you!"
The coronation ceremony had just started when Kingdom of Flame's Queen entered the hall.
"Ah! A new Crown Prince!" Said the Queen coldly to the King of Hope.
"I'm glad you're here. Your presenc-"
"Where is Eric?"
"He... He is not feeling well."
"Ah! Maybe Agnes's death affected him."
"When did Agnes... I'm sorry, Edith... I-"
"Oh, stop it, Edward! It's your son's coronation and you must be thinking what a terrible Queen I
am. I just showed up with no presents but trust me when I say I have a present... A present that
will be written in history pages."
"Edith, I-"
"Oh, shush Edward! You know we're cousins after all; we go way back. Remember when we
framed aunt Lulumay for the massacre you did?"
"Edith, pleas-"
"Remember the curse she put on us before she was killed? That one of us will kill the other,
Edward."
Cold sweat started dripping from the King's forehead.
The Queen of Flame laughed.
The End
Knights from the Kingdom of Flame surrounded the coronation hall and killed everyone in sight.
Arrows were shot in the air; the first one went straight to Prince Oliver's heart. The knights
surrounded the King, and the Queen of Flame walked towards them with a sword in hand.
