Right By Your Side.

Prologue

  *Zach's POV*

I check on her every morning, and I peak through the window every night. I didn't know taking on the Earth Kingdom would be so tiresome. Things were so different when I only had the Fire Kingdom to worry about. More time with my wife, more time with my people. Our only worry was making sure fires & damages were controlled which is no problem given the fact that we control Fire. Shit, we ARE fire.

When I found my wife, I knew she was the one. I knew before she even knew, and it kills me deeply to be apart from her but I'm not just Fire anymore just like she isn't.

This decision was one we made together. She made me promise that every night, I would find her & we would share our nights together since our days were filled in separate locations. Her spending more time at the Air Kingdom, me at the Earth kingdom. I admit, I fucked up. I allowed my responsibilities to overcome me so much that I've now neglected the relationship that means the most to me. You wana know what's even scarier than that? ... I don't know how to fix it. Bryce worried that this responsibility would cause strain on our romantic life, but I swore to her I would ensure it doesn't.. 

I missed one night. One night turned into a week.. A week turned into months. The locks to our bedroom have been changed, and the Fire that lights up our kingdom is burning the highest it's ever burned meaning one thing.... She's enraged.

The people of our kingdom drop silent when I am around, and my best right hand guy has alerted me that the love of my life has been subtly lashing out due to what he believes is bottled up resentment from her upset with me. I knew to expect her to be more uncontrollable in her emotions since she is now part air & fire but I, now, don't really know how to handle the situation for my earth & fire energy makes me move much slower, more poised than I am accustomed to. 

If I don't do something soon, and if she doesn't release this pent up energy.. she might combust, and no one needs that.. but she won't even hear me out.. so for now, I just watch her.. from afar.

*An ode to my muse, my fire+ earth dominant.. the grounding to my flame. I write this in thought of us, of our trials & tribulations. In thought of our thick, and our thin. I love you. Inspired during our time of hardship, I pray that our troubles in this story finds those and resonates with those who need this the most. To the individual reading, may our story find you, warm your heart & inspire true unconditional love. Ase*

sincerely,

B.
