Chapter 1

It was truly a beautiful thing to be able to Mate in Satern society.

The Saterns were a highly psychic race with a deep connection to all those that they love, and this was especially the case for those that you chose to Mate.

Having a Mate meant that you were complete in life and could now continue on your line, of course this was no longer the case because of Omega and Alpha X. But there needed to be hope, which is exactly what Maximus Zurk had: the crowned prince of Mimas.

Maximus had a deep hope for a beautiful Mate to love and grow old with; when the females were still alive there was one woman that he had considered joining with, but now they were all gone.

Which was why the elder Prince was dead set on searching the stars for his intended Mate to be.

"Father, I am begging the Mother above that you allow me to leave and search for my Intended amongst the stars." Maximus beseeched his father for the hundredth time, his massive body bowing to the taller, yet older Satern.

An annoyed hiss left Hallox as he rubbed his horn in fatigue from his eldest son. It had been three full rotations since the last female had died and Maximus the Crowned Prince wanted to leave the planet. "Maximus. My son, we have discussed this before and we are not going to discuss it again, all I'm going to say is that you are my Heir and I am not that young, what if I die while you are galavanting through the stars?"

"That is an easy one, give the crown to Azideon." Both Hallox and Azideon froze in their spots upon hearing the easy reply that Maximus gave.

"Have you ingested some giggle berries!" Azideon laughed while the Emperor had a pinched expression on his red face, his fully black eyes not giving away what he was thinking.

Finally after a few minutes he spoke, "I cannot allow this Maximus. You know that I am already old and frail as it is, I will soon join my sweet Rena with the Great Mother."

The room descended into silence for a few seconds more, allowing both Sons' and Father to think of their departed Mother and Mate. Before the Emperor continued as if he did not have that moment of weakness; the Emperor was meant to be strong and a fierce warrior, he was not meant to show emotions and appear weak.

"There will be no further talk about this Maximus. Now you will both leave." Hallox dismissed his Sons' without a second glance and turned his seven foot frame to the window that overlooked the ruined kingdom before him. His thoughts travelling back to all the good times with his sweet Rena.

Filled with much rage for his Father, Maximus stormed the large hallways as fast as he could. Intent on leaving the Palace and going in search of some solace in the wilderness for a day or two, that was always where Maximus found himself running off to when he wanted to be away from his Princely duties, they were no fun to him.

Maximus was an explorer, an adventurer and he did not wish to be anywhere rural for the time being, he needed to go where he felt most at home.

A Satern adult male was very aggressive and possessive with a strict temper. It was easy to provoke and hard to master your feelings. Which is why the Prince knew that he had to find his sanctuary while his temper still allowed his Father to live. He needed to get away from his duties altogether, and plus it was only really Azideon who knew how to track his elder brother down. However Maximus knew that his sibling bond with Azideon would indeed guarantee that he would not give into the Emperor.

The younger Prince was wise enough not to interfere when Maximus was in a bad mood.

Out of both of the twins it was Azideon that was the calmer half, the joyful prankster while Maximus was emotional, brooding and yet he still wore his heart on his sleeve.
