ETHERION REALM

-Tahomma Kingdom-
Dark sparrows flew through the indigo-colored skies, which had a tint of pinkish clouds. It was already dark, as the man could see it. He gave a signal for his companions that were trailing the horse he was riding to come to a full stop.

He turned to look over his left shoulder to see the young man behind him, who was also riding a black-coated horse. "This place looks stable, doesn't it?" he asked. The young man simply nodded to indicate that he agreed with the man, wandering his eyes around the area.

"Father, won't it rain?" A bothered question came out of another young man, identically matching the previous one. He currently rides another black stallion that matched the others.

The man happened to be his father, and the other young man is his younger twin.

"I, too, worry about it," stated the younger twin as his palm was lifted to check the temperature of the wind.

They may look similar in facial features, but one can tell them apart by checking their hairstyles and the placement of their moles. The older twin, named Young Prince Lee Anton Santos, had black hair that flowed down over his shoulders. He will usually tie it in half, which will create uneven curls. It suits his personality.

The younger twin, named Young Prince Leonard Alistair Santos, is also black-haired, but it straightens down his back, cutting to his hips. He never ties it unless it is needed, like now. He had a mole near his left lower lip, while his twin had it on the right.

Moving on to their tracks, they set up camp at a quick pace. Summoning the mages and the magicians to set a protective barrier against the forces of nature, such as the rain, and other concerns. The twins were inside a wide tent with their Father, Prince Leviathan Silvester Santos.

"We shall continue this march first thing tomorrow morning," he stated in a serious tone. His children will shudder in fright if he lowers his voice more. He is being extra cautious at the moment.

He set a map on the table with the names and initials of various tribes and locations.

"Oh, we're near our destination!" exclaimed the older twin, grinning an ear-to-ear smile that his younger twin could not bear but to sigh and shake his head.

"What kind of princess is this lady?" asked the younger twin, pointing an initial of a tribe that is passed a mountain. He was calm despite his brother teasing him with a giggle. 'Brother, I want to punch you.'

'Come on...' replied Young Prince Lee telepathically.

"Well... According to the Chief, his only daughter, Kaira Gabby, is like a rare, delicate flower," Prince Leviathan paused with a short hum. "Her beauty is unmatchable, they say."

"Unmatchable? I pity her for marrying a monster." Young Prince Lee clicked his tongue. Before Young Prince Leonard could give him a blow to the stomach, their father cleared his throat, which caught their attention.

'Is it not true?' Young Prince Lee could not help but grin while they were in an at-rest position-their hands were overlapped, which is below their backs.

'My, my... My older brother seems to be jealous that I will be having a wife sooner than him.'

"You know, I can hear both of you, right?" Prince Leviathan arched his brow, having his arms folded and his chin preparing to blow a sigh. "Although we had an objective to get your soon-to-be wife, we must also focus on aiding them in slaying the Dark Magi."
