Long ago in about the year 4000 a portal was developed on earth opening a door to realms that mortals saw as myths one of those realms was mine Larvist this was a realm where the fire benders roamed free . The mortals were ecstatic to find a new species , so excited that they became selfish they began to kidnap fire benders to study and experiment on. It wasn't long until the fire benders knew it was time to close the portal , they sent men to burn down the portal but little did they know the mortals had opend portals to other realms as well as ours . From fairy stories trolls all beings fled to Larvist in search of safety and direction as it was the largest realm , finally it was decided that the strongest of us all would seek out the portals and destroy them . A fire bender a water bender an earth and air all stood courageously to face the mortals . It took them almost 5 years to destroy all portals and two were severely injured but were rewarded greatly by the monks ,the wisest of us all . They were all made kings and till this day their descendants still I rule our world . All beings are welcome in Larvist and we live peacefully amongst each other . Until today.

The thick sweet breeze danced between the leaves of trees and the strands of hair , it swirled and bathed in the atmosphere of Larvist. I firis , Fi for short sprinted across my training centre built for me by my father who takes pride in discipline and success. My training ground , a large room built out of titanium and platinum with swords ,guns and arrows , my playground .i enter the booby trap room where I must navigate the room without setting of a trap , I wave my hand at my trainer Gareth to indicate that I'm ready , and I'm off , as a fire element speed is a trait but so is anger and impulsiveness . I sprint through the the room dodging all bolts and ropes every button even a squeaky floorboard , examined avoided . I get to the end of my trial with nothing but a single bead of sweat above my lip. Gareth holds his hand up to approve and dismiss , I exit the room and then the building with a satisfied smile on my face , 3 fire guards appear in flames beside me as soon as I exit ,to take me home . As the daughter of a king my safety is important , at least that's what my mother repeatedly tells me.
We arrive at the summer palace in the centre of Larvist , I immediately sprint to the throne room to not only escape my guards but to greet my mother , lavanna , she sits on her throne gazing at a stone on her lap ,
"Mother I completed my field test with no set offs " I excitedly exclaim
She doesn't speak she stays glaring at her lap and the white stone that lies upon it .
"Leave us " she said to the 8 guards that surround the room , they exit the throne room only to most likely listen in from the doors . I've never seen my mother this way , she was a warrior , she fought for the fire elements until she met my father , the monks thought it unfit for the queen to fight so she had to give it up , but she's a short fuse with only 2 emotions anger or happiness , never sorrow.
"The anniversary party for the extermination of the mortals is tonight .wear the red feather dress ."
I stare at her wondering why my comments were dismissed ,
"Didn't you hear what I said ?"
I scream ,
She waves her hand letting of a wave of flames in which the guards appear . They escort me out the room , by order of my own mother , a painting hangs on the wall beside the throne room door of a heart I stare at it until rage fills me and I throw a fire ball at it . Loves a weakness if you ask me .

Night falls and I strut around the walls of the summer palace in my long feather red dress , my fiery red hair hung in a sleek ponytail with the tips ticketing my back , my chocolate neck perfectly covered by a diamond necklace .
"ASHLEY WE'RE LEAVING!"
My older sister Ashley the royal wild child with a mind of her own , as the tabloids call her, but to me she's Ashley . She waltzes down re main palace stairs in a short yellow cocktail dress her hair long down and curled , her long coco legs shimmer in the chandelier lights .
"Let's go then , there's alcohol. There right ?"
I roll my eyes , in the eyes of a transfer we must have switched ages she looks more 15 than I do and I look more 19 than she does . Our guards escort us into our private carriage with my mother awaiting us . the same meloncholy look covers her face as she sits silently but beautiful her hair slick like mine and her dress , plain black , simple. The whole journey my mother stares out of our carriage window with a bland look on her face , my sister , excessively posing for the paparazzi who follow us , me , also staring out the window but staring at the stars .my grandmother once told me that stars are gaping wholes for the monks above to watch over us . I like believing her .
As we each participate in each other's personal acts the carriage stops at the coliseum, legend says  that during the war with the mortals the Warriors took this coliseum from a mortal land called Italy , as a victory gift to the monks ,  although nowadays we clear it and use it to celebrate the day the four warriors returned , Laurus day ; it basically translates to victory day .
"Queen Lavanna and princesses follow me " says our guards
I hate the word princess .
