Prologue
Everyonehave their stories, some of it relevant or some of it is irrelevant. My storyis relevant as I, King Damian, am the next king of the Kingdom ofFantasia.
When I was younger,my parents taught me the wrongs of war, how the world is separated and how, through negotiation, would the world find peace. Well, for this one, It is not the same. We will not have peace if we don't fight. It also make families lose their family member like mine. When my parents passed away, I always thought it is the end of the world. But, I had never thought that loosing my elder brother was the thing that changed my life.
Three months ago, I was still a prince, studying literature,history and other subjects that you could name plus war tactics when I was free. I could still remember the day when one of the messenger of the kingdom sent word that the White Witch would come to the kingdom. I was shocked and started trying to form a plan with no success. I tried contacting my brother, who was in the mermaid kingdom, Ogygia that year, but to no avail. I told my advisers to wait in the study room while deep in thought, thinking about all the plan of the enemy, especially the White Witch, that my mentor had warned me about throughout the years. I took a deep breath and calmed down then I started through the details, convincing the advisers about my counter plan. Everyone agreed and we started forming the plan based on my counsel.
The next day, the White Witch's messenger weaved through the feet of all of my counsel and stood before me, declaring in a loud voice:" I, the White Witch, Katrina, also known as the Queen of The North, hereby challenge the prince of Fantasia to a duel. If you agree to my terms, all of your men will be freed from death. If not, those under you will suffer for eternity." I starred at the messenger in disbelief, looking at my counsel for help. They were helpless as I was.I still remember that time when my mentor told me not to believe the White Witch's sweet talk that had lured many kings into a trap before. I stood up and declare in a loud and clear voice:" I decline your terms!"
"Oh?" Suddenly, the White Witch's army was spotted. I saw the White Witch standing there in the midst of her troops, long silver hair blowing wild in the wind, silver eyes sparkled in delight, as if she had never seen anyone so interesting,and her rosy red lips pulling back into a snarl. I took a glance back to my troops. There were so few of them yet they were so brave. "Charge!" I yelled as I spurred my horse towards the enemy. There were sounds of metal clash metal, sound of ringing of shield and yells and curses as blood spilled like fountain onto the battlefield. Just when I have no hope, I heard a trumpet blaring as a new wave of army passed by my direction. My brother gave me a thumbs up and bellowed to his troops to fight. He took my hand and smiled at me. He swung his sword around, back facing me as we advanced towards the White Witch.
My brother launched himself towards the White witch, disbelief passed through his face when he realized the White Witch had disappeared. The White Witch laughed as she turns towards me, a horrid smile on her lips. She held me at sword-point, telling my brother to step back or she would kill me. I froze on the spot, watching my brother's face turned pale. Colour rose from his cheeks as he turned from shock to rage, using his wind magic, Dancing Rose, to bring me to the safety of his arms. I found my voice and told him to watch out as the White Witch tried to stab him in the back but I failed. My brother collapsed onto the floor, whispered something into my ear and smiled at me with tenderness for the last time.He whispered to me about me being brave and passed away.I took a glance at my brother and wiped my tears, looking at him in dismay.
Because I had known one of us was going to die.
Because I had failed miserably to protect him.
Now, one of us will not be able to see the sun rises again.
I want revenge, and I will have it now.
