Astrids POV:

I am your average young angel that is just trying to make it through the ranks to find my fate. Even though i know i am destined to be queen i can still get all my training done.

In Olympus there are 10 ranks from just growing your wings to being fully grown and in control of your skills.

Angel have enhanced speed, hearing, sight, intelligence and strength. The ranks disciplines you and keeps you in control.

Everyone has special skills for special jobs like fighters have higher strength than others or hunters have higher speed than others.

I am currently rank 10, which is testing and mastering each and every one of your skills. I have a "gift" and am extremely powerful, which makes sense because i'm royal blood.

A loud slam brought me out of my life reflecting trance and back into the real world. I heard heavy footsteps behind me, slowly making their way towards me.

A large hand grabs my shoulder tightly for me to realize it was my father. He stood beside me with his long beard flowing in the breeze.

His eyes were an emerald green which paired well with his dirty blonde hair and fair skin. I didn't look much like my father besides the green eyes. I had olive skin and brown hair, like my mother.

He looked tired as always but kept a tall stance when he looked down at me. His low voice beaming as he spoke. "Astrid" he said with a bit of concern in his voice, "i have good news but you may turn it into bad news".

I already knew it was terrible, especially if my father thought it was good. He always tried to make good choices for me but everything he has done makes me want to throw myself off these clouds.

He made me befriend the best angel of them all, Atlas. He was my mothers best friends child and we kind of grew up together. We met when we were about five, I didn't like him very much because he was loud, excelled at everything and always followed the rules.

I once tried to sneak out of the palace to watch the clouds part enough for me to see the under world. Atlas saw me fly towards the border and immediately ran to my father.

I know Atlas has a pure heart and just wants the best for me but he can stop being so good for one day!

I didn't say anything but gave my father a 'here we go again' look. He looked a bit nervous but only for a second then finally announced "Astrid, you are my prized possession and i would do anything to protect you" i rolled my eyes as he continued, "you know everything i do is in your best interest, so i decided you and Atlas are to be married".

My heart dropped to my stomach while hearing the words 'married' come out of his mouth. what the fuck!
