Darks POV

I sigh as i stare at the sky from the highest turret on the palace. i was lonely at the moment waiting on the one i called mine. worry soon starts to eat away at my being as i think of what could be taking him so long. Worry adn dread bubble up inside of as think of all the awful things that coud have happened to him. but i soon feel that worry melt away when i hear his familiar wing beats approaching. but it doesnt last long as i hear an unfamiliar set of wing beats. I hurry to the edge of the turret and see Echo flying to the top with an unfamiliar Zard. I pause as i take in his sickly appearance before my eyes land on the embelm arround his throat, symbolizing him as royalty. My throat closes at the thoght of what this could mean and i stumble into the walled center of the turret, the dark thought filling my head, blocking out my voice of reason. 

The two of them soon land on the turret with me and Echo hurries at me. i flinch at that and he pauses midway, looking at me with worry on his face before he turns to the guest. "Oh Umm Dark this is Blitz, future king of the Zardracian kingdom. my father invited him over."

"yeah i wonder what for." I mutter knowing that you would hear it.

"what is that supposed to mean dark." He asks worry tainting his voice.

"I mean that anyone could see why it was that your father invited him hear. He wants to set up an arranged marriage with mister prince here for you. maybe you knew this was coming and hence why you still havent told your father about us." I say, anger starting to lace every word im saying, clenching my wing like hands into fists.

"Dont be ridiculous dark. YOu know how i feel about you. i wouldnt let anything keep me from being with you. Not even my father can get in the way of the love i feel for you"

"what is Love in the face of power Echo. Your the prince here. theres no way your father would ever let you stay together with someone like me. im just a knight after all" I sigh as i stand up and stretch out my body, the dark thoughts now filling every inch of my mind "im going to clear my head. ill see you tomorrow Echo" I then turn begrudgingly to the zard "it was nice to meet you prince Blitz" I say before taking flight, leaving Echo to call my name, but i can no longer hear him over the darkness that is my thoughts
