ARIA'S P.O.V
She looks up. "Are we gonna attack the light realm..?" She asks, her eyes sparkle with determination.
"It won't be fun. Let them come with full preparation. I want to see the regret of crossing me in their eyes." I say with my usual emotionless face.
A guard comes in and bows with an expressionless face.
"What happened..?" I say without looking at him.
"Sunfyre is here, your highness." He says looking up.
ELIJAH'S P.O.V
I was working on my plan to kill the queen for a whole day. "I did it! It's a perfect plan, father!" I say to my father showing him the plan.
" Elijah, it's a good plan but you have to be careful, she is very dangerous. " My father says thoughtfully.
" She won't suspect me. I'll enter the palace alone..." He cuts me.
" No! Elijah , you can't risk your life. You're the future king of the light realm. " He says, worry etched on his face.
" Exactly, father... If I can't protect my realm, I don't have the right to be the future king. I'll do whatever it takes." I say , my eyes blazing with determination.
He looks in my eyes and I see pride in them. "Elijah, do your best." He says patting my shoulder. He turns and disappears in the light.
I let out a sigh after he leaves. "I can do it." I say, motivating myself. I smile to myself, as I saw my father proud for the first time.
ARIA'S P.O.V
I come out in the palace garden. My face is as usual, emotionless, my dragon sunfyre is waiting for me, everyone takes a step back at his sight cuz he's just as ruthless as me. He bows to me. I nod at him and he let out a mighty roar, signaling that he completed his mission. I pat his head and he nuzzles into my touch . "Very good." I say and turn back.
"Let's go on a ride, Sunfyre." I say and he bows gesturing to me to get on him. As I get on his back, He takes off, his strong wings move against wind, I sit on his back looking effortless and majestic.
We fly all over the dark realm, it's not bright but it's beautiful and dangerous in its own way. We land in a jungle in front of a cave, in a snap I'm standing in front of the cave. Sunfyre steps forward. "Don't follow me.." I command in a stern voice and enter the cave.
ELIJAH'S P.O.V
I'm standing in the brightly lit training room. "David, what are you doing here?" I say as my friend David walks towards me. He's a knight in our palace. "Weren't you on a mission?" I add.
He looks at me like he'll eat me alive. "I heard you're going to suicide...?" He says looking dead serious.
"Suicide..? How come I didn't heard about my own suicide?" I say playfully trying to lighten his mood.
" Elijah, you know what I'm talking about. How can you even think about killing the Queen? She's no less than a monster. I've heard she defeated a whole army all alone! Are you insane!?" He says gritting his teeth.
" David, calm down.. it's about my realm. I've to do it." I take a pause. " If I die killing her... it'll be worth it." I say, my eyes blazing with determination.
" I can't calm down.. you may have many people who love you....but I only have you, Elijah! I can't let you go there." He says taking persuasive tone.
I look in his eyes, concern etched on his face. I put my hand on his shoulder. " David, I have to go."
"Do you even care what happens to you?" He says .
"Of course, I do. But I care about my people more than myself." I say taking a softer tone.
" And what about me? I'll be the one left behind, waiting, not knowing if you'll ever return." He says trying not to cry. "I'll come with you then!". He adds with determined expression.
"No!" That's all I say.
" What, you think I'm not good enough?" He says looking hurt.
" No, I just remember last time we camped outside and you whined about a single mosquito for two hours." I say as a matter of fact.
" You... You're impossible." He says frustrated.
" I'm a prince. It's my duty and I'll do it alone." I say patting his shoulder and start packing some weapons.
" What if you don't come...back ?" He says,his voice cracking with emotions. " I can't let you go alone .." he adds.
" I said no." I say.
" But we always fight together!" He tries to convince me.
" I know, but this time, I'm going for dramatic lone-hero moment." I say playfully. "And If something happens to me I need someone to carry on what I started." I say a little serious this time.
