The Chosen Ones

CHAPTER 2: The Kingdom of Icenburg

In a kingdom on the icy planes in the southern parts of the continent, The Neverelm. There reigned a kingdom magnificent in all it's glory 'Icenburg'. A land full of riches, culture, medicinal plants of all sorts and lots of snow and ice.

The kingdom was one of the strongest in the realm and held one of the power orbs of the Neverelm. The King and Queen of the kingdom were the most powerful among all the previous reigning rulers. With their brilliant daughters who all admired in their ways.

"Orla wait up, you are flying to fast." screamed a sweating Edena.

"Nope! not a chance. First one to the tower has to ask mom and dad for what the other wants." Orla laughed teasingly and flew onwards.

"Uh,uh. No way! This girl would be the death of me." Edena sighed tiredly. There was no way she would be able to catch this sneaky sister of hers. Orla used her fairy wings to get ahead of Edena.

No wonder Orla suggested Edena could have a headstart to their race. If she knew she would pull this trick she would have pinned Orla's wings to the ground.

"Now that would have been something to laugh about." Edena said to herself.

Edena had no other choice but to finish this race on foot because she couldn't use fairy wings like Orla.

"And I win. Oh yeah, Oh yeah. Take that. Feel my booty shake, feel it, feel it." Orla danced playfully around Edena.

"Get your smelly butt out of my face, cheater." Edena pushed Orla to the ground.

"Ouch, that hurt." Orla said as she stuck out her tongue and blew a raspberry at Edena.

"Oh no didn't come here you little mouse." Edena pounced on Orla and they both started rolling around and pulling at eachother's hair. Then they rolled down a steep slope and into a heap of snow.

The two girls paused, looked at eachother and burst out laughing. Hitting eachother with a handful of snow.

"Oh that was so fun." Orla said as she lied down comfortably on the cold ice beneath them. Which didn't bother the girls much.

"I laughed so hard I can barely talk properly now." Edena said and the girls giggled at eachother.

"Don't worry though, I won't ask mom and dad for anything." Orla told Edena.

"Look at my baby sister being benevolent." Edena pinched Orla's cheek while she shouted "Hand's off the baby cheeks."

But their little banter was interrupted by the crunching of some fallen leaves.

"Oh for heaven's sake. Here you girls are. I have been looking all over for you. Sending the maids running heather, scatter just to find you both. What in heaven's sake should I do so ad not to experience such stress."

"Well for starters. You could get rid of this one." Edena said smirkingly as she pointed at Orla.

"Edena, how dare you?" Her mother shouted. "What if someone heard you saying such foul nonsense to your sister?"

"Mommy, it's fine. She was just joking." Orla said as she laughed it off.

"You, not another word and you." She pointed at Edena"Go straight to your governess. Playing recklessly. What if your sister got hurt? You are supposed to be the elder one. Act like it." The authority of a Queen could be heard very cleary in her voice. She took Orla's hand and dragged her off.
