Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Luna got married to Lucius and gave birth to her twenty identical darlings a year after their marriage and also gave birth to two singletons. Ten males and ten females while the singletons were a boy and also a girl. The children possess the same magical abilities but only one has other magical abilities. Being the first of their kind to come out at once, they possessed great magical abilities, not one, not two, not three. They possessed a lot of magical abilities which will come to light as they grow. For their age, they had five magical abilities which were fire, wind, sand, the ability to communicate with each other telepathically, and the ability to read other people's minds. Of the twenty children were; Anthony, Adonis, Ajax, Alfred, Atlas, Arthur, Orion, Ethan, Jason, and Griffin.

The boys were tall, had a broad chest, possessed purple hair and purple eyes, light skin, and were great on the battlefield. Cassandra, Athena, Claudia, Alice, Clara, Anna, Camila, Annabelle, Claire, and Alicia were the names of the girls. The girls were tall, had beautiful curves, and light skin also possessed purple hair and eyes and we're good on the battlefield but only one didn't possess all the features, We'll find out about her as we go on.

Among the girls, Cassandra was the one who possessed those abilities. Remember I said they were all identical, which means each of them possesses the same physical features but only Cassandra was different. Unlike the rest of her siblings, she had purple eyes, and the sclera and iris were purple, no other color. If you don't look closely, you won't figure this out.

As for her younger ones, their names were Mike and Mia. Mike is a 5-year-old who possesses water abilities. He's fair, has thick black hair, and eyes as blue as the sea which he got from his father.

Mia is a 2-year-old who possesses dark magic and ice abilities. She has slightly pale skin which she got from her mother, long platinum blonde hair, and red eyes like her uncle.

-the prophecy-

Centuries ago, there was a prophecy about the chosen one. The chosen one would be an embodiment of Bellona. Bellona was a great warrior, very beautiful, and the daughter of one of the great gods, Apollo.

Bellona was different from everyone and the favorite child of her father. Bellona possessed very powerful magic that could lead to the growth or the destruction of her world. Her father got to know of this and tried his best to keep this away from anyone outside his family.

Bellona's uncles got to know of her powers and made a quest to have them and use them for their purpose. They planned to take on Bellona's father and needed strong magic which only his daughter, Bellona possessed.

Bellona got to hear of her uncle's plan to take on her father and because she didn't want it to happen, ended her own life just to save her father. Her family was heartbroken and also appreciated the sacrifice she made, Her father took her body and buried it in a place known to him and his family to avoid anyone coming to possess his daughter's body and extract her powers.

Prophecy has it that there would be trouble in the land and only the reincarnation of Bellona can neither save it nor destroy it, so it came with lots of responsibilities, especially for a child of 10 years.

The journey of Cassandra's life and that of her siblings is a not-so-smooth one, there are good times and bad times. I know I said they were good on the battlefield but stated Cassandra was 10, and she and her siblings did wonders being the first of their kind. Cassandra and her siblings were the first set of people or should I say children who went out on the battlefield to fight a war at a young age

To you, it sounds weird and we'll expect them to die and get injured but nine of these things ever happened, and they came back unscathed

It was a sunny day and the children were playing games while the parents were outside relaxing when all of a sudden, a loud crash was heard inside the palace. Everyone rushed in to know what caused the crash but before they got there, there was already a commotion. King Lucius demanded to know what happened but everyone was scared to talk until he decided everyone present would be punished severely if no one agreed to talk. Just then, a girl came out crying alongside her younger brother, She cried and pleaded for the king to forgive her and her younger brother. 'Will you talk already?' Lucius commanded with a gentle tone.

'I stole the queen's jewelry' her brother whose name happened to be Lincoln confessed with teary eyes and a shaken voice. Once Lucius heard this, he became very angry, and his sister, Louisa immediately begged on his behalf. The queen, Luna, immediately held her husband's hand and then she told the siblings to stop crying but tell her why they stole it. 'Our mother is very sick and we don't have any money to treat her, we already spent all our money on medication but there is no improvement. Please spare my brother and punish me instead' Louisa said with her head bowed. The queen pitied them and said, 'You could have come to ask me for the money'. 'We're sorry ma' Lincoln and Louisa said with their heads bowed. Lucius sighed and walked away while his children followed behind him.

'Alright everyone, let's forget that all this happened and continue with our work', the queen said authoritatively and turned to leave. 'My Queen' Louisa called out and Luna turned around with a questioning look. 'Here's your jewelry' Lincoln said, handing over the jewelry to the queen, 'and thank you also, for saving us' Louisa added. Luna smiled at them sweetly and said 'Meet me later today at the courtroom' and after that, she walked away.

_back in the garden_

Queen Luna came back to the garden to see her husband and children chatting happily and with that, a smile already formed on her face. Her husband saw and beckoned her to come, she sat with him and then he asked her 'why'd you let them off', Luna knew who he was talking about and she sighed before replying to him 'they needed the money, I had to be compassionate'. Lucius drew his wife closer to him and landed a soft kiss on her forehead.

'Mom, Dad, can we please go see what's outside the palace' Atlas asked his parents while giving them the puppy dog eyes. 'No' Luna replied him shortly. 'Daddy please talk to mommy' Camila begged her dad but he also refused and then the siblings decided to come together and hatched a plan, The plan was to disturb their parents till they agreed to their request.
