~The Secret Guardian~

Chapter 1:~The Journey Begins~

Next day, Adelina watched her husband getting ready once again to leave the kingdom and she sighed deeply. She felt her sadness grow. She just had to wait for her husband to return to Westrose once again and don't even know when or if he would be returning. Emmett walked over to her and smiled weakly at her. "Don't worry, My Lady," he assured, "Gwydion will guard him. The King will return," And Adelina turned towards him and smiled weakly and watched Christian leave with his knights and Gwydion. "I hope you're right," she sighed and went back into the castle.

Adelina closed the doors to her and Christian's chambers and let out a deep sigh. She had encouraged her husband to go on this quest to find his great grandfather's ship so his leaving was her own doing. She just prayed that he would be alright.

Christian, Gwydion and the knights rode through an open rode alone with the knights and Christian fallowed the feeling of the way his ancestor would have hidden Gloxinia. The knights fallowed their King despite that they had actually no idea of where they were going. "What are we even looking after?," Aries asked. Christian sighed deeply and turned to his friend. "Just fallow me, alright?," And the knights nodded understandingly. Christian then set off again and they rode away in gallop. They only thing they didn't know was that were actually being fallowed by Melinda and Gwydion kept the words of Zafira's about the spell book in his mind that he knew he needed to find to whatever price. He would not let the witches get the book. Especially now when he knew that Melinda was planning that her son she had made with help of Christian's blood was destined to kill him.

Adelina sat in her and Christian's chambers alone and she looked towards the window and glanced down at the marriage ring she wore on her finger and she sighed deeply and stood up and she started to sing,

[Adelina]
Walk with me, my love
My heart has much to share and much to say
And the gardens put to shame the meadowlands bloom
A beautiful garden set apart

[Adelina]
I fancy roses as snow knew scent of sweet
I see that patch of roses in our rooms
I'm glad you finally found what's lost
I watched you ride away the path below
I'm turning towards that rode
And yet, we have so many miles to go

[Adelina]
I've reconciled my mind
To living out my immortal life within this walls
Without you by my side
It's not what you hope to hear, I know
But what you hope to find
Is better left not sought outside our walls
As I'm afraid of what you may face
And peace is all that matters to us now

[Adelina]
I know you offer love
But in me now that path has now grown
As I love you more every day that pass
I'm turning to our next road now
But even yet, we have so many miles to go

[Adelina]
I hear your ancestor died alone
Surrounded by grief of the loss of her Love
And Solania wept until no tears would come
I swore I would atone
For failing my duties to heaven and its light
With all the things I did and should have done

[Adelina]
Fare thee well, my love
I'll watch you ride away the path below
I'm turning to our next rode now
But even yet, we have so many miles to go
Even yet, we have so many miles to go

Adelina sighed deeply and sank into her and Christian's bed, slowly letting her tears began to fall.
