Celestial Wisterias

Chapter 1 - Under the Moonlight

Far away, long ago where the wisteria trees meet the celestial waters, two nations were finally at peace. After years of war and hatred between two powerful rulers, all it took for them to solver their dispute was the burning  passion and blooming love of two young lovers.

The beautiful world we hear about today wasn't always like this so let's dive deeper and deeper, down at the roots of Silvermist... In the beginning, near a small river, a seed was dropped by a white bird on the dry ground. The river saw it struggling to root so he decided to change its course and give it his clear and pure water. The seed started growing and soon turned into a beautiful tree with purple flowers. The tree was so thankful to river so in return, her branches would lean over to hug him. The love these two had for each other bloomed into something beautiful and soon after out of burning passion God Silvermist was brought into existence . He rose to stars and expended the river into an infinite sea and the tree into a magical forest, but he needed someone to take care of the magical kingdoms he had created so he wished upon the stars and they answered his calling grating his wish. Out of a tree branch Queen Wisteria, Ruler of the Magical Forest and King Celest, Ruler of the Celestial Waters came into existence. The Two of them ruled together for generations, until a dispute drew them apart, Wisteria wanted to extend the forests and Celest wanted to extend the waters. Soon after, they started arguing, Wisteria was sad, Celest was angry, they let their emotions get the best of them . Part of the forest was flooded and part of the waters were covered in trees. Their argument resulted in war and they left each other and created a barrier so that they may never cross paths again and it was forbidden for anyone of each kingdom to  cross it. The war ended eventually but the hatred was still living on. It weaken them, so it was time to find a heir . Born out of magical flowers brought by butterflies Prince Benjamin Wisteria was to become King of The Magical Forest once old enough and born out of pearls from the deep sea. Prince Claude Celest was to become King of the Celestial Waters. 

They princes grew up into two beautiful young men. Benjamin had hair like fire and his eyes an emerald sheen, his skin a sweet honey colour, with a bright smile that would warm anyone's heart. He was a good and quiet boy, he would spend his days in the gardens of the forest, talking to animals or reading under the beautiful purple flowers. As of Claude, his golden locks and dark eyes would steal the heart of anyone, and his his fair skin made him look like one of the sculptures fallen in the sea. He would spend most of his days traveling the sea looking for something new to draw or sketch. Since they were little they've always wanted to know what happens if you cross the barrier, what new things could be waiting for you and all the adventures the mysterious places would hold. They usually got close to it, but would never dare to step foot outside their kingdoms.

Until, one day as Claude was walking, looking for something to draw in his journal he got closer than usual and behind the barrier he saw a boy that looked close to his age, reading under a tree. He got his pencils out and he started sketching the portrait of the stranger, but the boy got up and left before Claude could finish it so he decided to come again tomorrow hopping that he could finish his drawing and that the stranger would be in the same place. So he did, but the boy would always get up before Claude could finish so this went on about for like a week. Claude didn't mind one bit, he actually took so long to finish because he needed an excuse the see the stranger. On the day Claude finished the portrait he actually wanted to cross the barrier and give it to him but he was afraid he couldn't cross the word of the king so he had to come up with something. He attached four pearls to the piece of paper and with his powers he managed to make the pearls fly to the boy. He left immediately after that and didn't look back one bit. Benjamin was surprised and pleased by the beautiful drawing and of course he noticed Claude coming to draw him everyday so that's why he would return again and again, Benjamin also needed an excuse to take a glance and Claude as he was peacefully drawing. So Benjamin, ripped out a page that had a love poem from his book and wrote something on it "Meet me here again, under the pale moonlight, Benjamin", then he sent a butterfly after Claude. He received the note and the poem and decided to meet the stranger. 

Night has fallen on the kingdoms and the moon had a beautiful but strange glow to it. The two boys sat at the barrier looking in each other's eyes and decided to get closer and as their put their hand on the barrier it broke and they  were finally  standing next to each other. Benjamin brought the drawing and Claude the poem and they just sat on the ground with their hands still touching.

The strange thing about this encounter was that the barrier can only be broken by powerful spell that only the King and Queen knew so the question that was rose is how did it break when they put their hands on it... I guess only time would tell...
