Many years ago in a far away land, there were three kingdoms. The kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Earth, the kingdom of Fire, and the kingdom of Air.

Each kingdom represented a primal element from the world around them.

The royal family of each kingdom was blessed with a gift, each coinciding with the element each kingdom bore.

The Fire kingdom's royal family held a banquet for all the kingdoms to participate in.

The other three kingdoms gathered at the banquet, each family silently agreeing to even a temporary peace treaty.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Roman peered off the balcony, an excited air surrounding the young prince. He saw royal carriages being pulled by pristine horses, and knew what they carried.

"Roman! The other families are here!" Roman turned to see his twin brother, Remus, running up to him. "Ok! I'll race you to the great hall!"

They both bolted the tapestry laden halls, and down a grand looking staircase.

They raced in the doors of the grand hall, stopping to catch their breaths and as to not be spotted by anyone.

"I.I won-," Roman wheezed out to his brother. "No... it was me who won," Remus said, smirking as he caught his breath.

Roman glared semi playfully before they entered the grand hall.

"Roman! Remus! Please come over here to greet our guests." Their Mother, Queen Isla, called over to them.

They made their way over, to where their mother guestered to them in front of a group of people.

There were three pairs of couples of importance in this story;

Duke Philipe, his wife, Dutchess Isla, and their children, Roman, Remus, Todd, Jacob, Christina,  Jessica, Julia, Rosa, and Rachelle.

Lord Stephen, his husband, Lord Asher, and their children, Patton, Samuel, Adam, Carter, Selina, of the air nation.

Their Majestly, Joan, their spouse, Talyn, and their children, Prince Logan and Princesses Dylan, Diane, Aria, and Light, of the Earth kingdom.

And Finally, Harmony, her wife, Queen Nova, their sons, Princes Janus and Virgil and their daughter Princess Jayden, of the Water colonies.

The many families were introduced as they came into the grand hall of the palace. Many of the young adults chatted politely, the occasional love at first sight thing happened a bit, and overall they were fine.

The teenagers lounged around, mostly near the snacks table, or if they seemed productive they would tease their older siblings.

"I am Prince Roman! Please tell me if there are any Dragon Witches in need of slaying, and I shall defeat them!" Roman said, pulling out a mini sword and jabbing the air dramatically.

A few people giggled at that, one of them secretly being Virgil.

He hid his laughter behind his hand as he stared awestruck at Roman. His face warmed slightly as he watched the loud prince, while he partially hid behind Janus.

His 8yr old heart fluttered with his first crush in that moment, and he gave a rare genuine smile that Janus saw.

He had never seen his brother like this, but he intended to make sure that whomever Virgil liked didn't break his sweet, Kurt Hummel like heart.

The group of kids split into more manageable sized age groups. Virgil barely tagging along with the 9yr olds, because he was the only 8yr old.

"Are you sure he should play with us? He looks like a crybaby!" Remus taunted.

Virgil felt tears well up in his eyes, and he hid behind Janus to hide his weakness from everyone.

"Remus stop it!" Roman said, scrutinizing his twin.

He turned to Virgil, holding his hand out for Virgil to take, which he did reluctantly.

"You, my fair prince, need to be protected from this demented trash demon." He kept Virgil behind him as he pointed his sword at his brother.

"BEGONE TRASH DEMON!!" Roman ordered, moving towards Remus with his sword.

But Remus was prepared!

He pulled a mini mace from gosh knows where, and pointed it back and declared; "I, THE TRASH DEMON, SHALL NOT BACK DOWN TO YOUR WEAK ATTEMPTS OF ATTACK!!"

Something flashed in the twins' eyes, a silent agreement.

In sync they threw their weapons aside and got into grappling positions. Roman threw himself at Remus, knocking him over, but Remus was prepared for that, them having done this plenty of times before.

He quickly threw Roman off of him and pinned him to the ground.

He smiled a wicked smile of realization before pinning Roman's arms above his head. Roman starred in terror at the situation he had gotten himself into.

"NO!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!" Roman yelled, trying to wiggle his way out from under. Remus laughed. "You shall pee your pants in front of EVERYBODY!!!" He exclaimed before tickling Roman's armpits and side.

Roman screamed with forced laughter, writhing around.

Virgil couldn't take it anymore, walked up to Remus, and socked him in the nose.

He fell back very dramatically, as Roman gasped for air after that tickle attack. He looked awed over at Virgil and cried; "You have slain the beast!!!"

Virgil flushes a dark shade of red at that attention and rubbed his arm anxiously.

Roman got up, striding over to Virgil, taking his hand in his and kissing it softly. "Thank you dear angel."

The group of kids played on for a few more hours. Remus left Virgil alone after the punch in the face, not wanting to risk any more physical harm.

But sadly the banquet came to a close, and the kids had to leave in their respective carriages.

When Virgil's turn to leave came, Roman gave him a hug. He brushed Virgil's bangs out of his face, showing off his beautiful purple eyes. "See ya later, Stormcloud." Roman muttered softly, placing a kiss on the back of Virgil's hand.

Roman and Virgil kept in touch as they grew older, either from banquets or from the letters they started to send each other as the years slowly progressed.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Virgil sat in anticipation, fidgeting with his cape to lay perfectly, as the carriage pulled along the road. A small box lay in his lap, wrapped with black wrapping paper and tied with a purple ribbon.

He smiled at the thought of seeing Patton, Logan, and especially Roman.

Their carriage pulled up to the Fire palace. It was grand to put it lightly. The castle seemed to shine golden as granite statues carved of the past rulers of their kingdom sat in front of it, seemingly watching over the flower gardens that seemed to be alive with the glow of an ember.

Queen Harmony has to stay behind for a few  mandatory meetings which Jayden accompanied her too.

The door of the carriage opened, letting Virgil, Janus, and Queen Nova, escape from the moving prison they were stuck in for 12 hrs. They all gayened their garments before making their way to the entrance hall.

It was decorated to the point of almost being stuffed, but still held an elegance to it.

"I wish I had a party like this for my 13 Birthday," Janus grumbled, folding his arms and sighing grumpily. "They have mini cupcakes-" Nova started but Janus was already by the confession stand before she could finish.

Nova gave a chuckle before looking back toward Virgil.

"Now, what do you have planned for this evening my beautiful child?"

Virgil gave a look that was somewhere between confusion and exasperation. "Why did you phrase it like that?"

"I dunno," Nova shrugged. "It was more fun saying it like that,"
