Firey Constellations

Chapter 1.1

"Your highnesses," the councilman with black hair stood at the doors with his hands producing a silver magic that covered the heavy doors opening them, "you are allowed to enter the room once more."

Stefen and Naylia made their way over to Adhara, "please tell us," Naylia begged, "does she have any magic?" She buried Adhara into her shoulder looking desperately at the counsel men.

"Yes. Adhara possesses magic." An older councilman with a long gray beard spoke. Naylia's chest and shoulders dropped as if she was just released from carrying the weight of the world. "However," he paused, "the magic Adhara possesses is unlike anything this and any other kingdom has seen before." Stefen stepped forward, "What do you mean?" He asked, putting a hand on Naylia's shoulder.

"This magic Adhara possesses has only been rumored in ancient legends, but it has never been proven to be real: until now." Naylia looked at Stefen and back to the councilmen, "What are you saying? What magic does she wield?"

The counsel members looked amongst each other, "Adhara has the gift of Celestial Alignment. The most powerful Ancient Magic in existence." The oldest councilmen claimed.

The color drained from Naylia's face and the room. She buried Adhara deeper into her shoulder. "What does this mean for us? And what shall we do?" Asked Stefen.

"Your highnesses," the main councilmember stepped forward, "there is nothing you can do." He paused to let the news sink in. "As you know, those who are born with gifts with such power are sentenced to the Ruins of The Twin Sisters to be watched strictly over the counsel."

"Please no! You can't take her!" Naylia sobbed. "Unfortunately to protect Finallia; we, The Counsel of Magic, are ordered by the universal laws to detain and hold Princess Adhara Kai of Finallia in the Ruins of The Twin Sister for life."

"Nonsense! I will not accept this." Claimed Stefen. "Your highnesses, you have our sincerest apologies but you cannot break universal law, or you may lose your life." said the main councilman. "I don't give a damn!" Shouted Naylia, "The only way you're taking my child is over my cold, dead body!" The room fell silent all except for Naylia's ghostly wailing.

"Our business here is finished." Said the main councilmen, "We will be back for Princess Adhara in a week's time." And with that, all the counsel members left.
