One Side Soulmates

Part I

I can faintly recall my childhood. I had two loving parents, my mother Mari and my father Edren. They both live in Vanora, a small village in Lureca. A village very well known for its wonderful creatures, such as fairies. 

But the best part, these said creatures were known to bless any of the children of this village on their first birthday. Such a blessing would make the child possess magic. After a few generations children would be born with these abilities, due to their parents bearing it, and like that the fairies didn't do more blessings. 

But even so, not many have this ability. Only those from Vanora have this gift. Or so some thought. But right now I am meant to be at a ball, and I wish to write about something else, while I still have time, so for now that story must wait.

Even if I was born with magic due to my parents being born with it, it didn't stop the fairies from blessing me. No one ever understood why, and I'm afraid they never will, due to my abduction. Never will I go back, nor do I wish to as I will only bring them harm. But I know the reason myself. I have been trying to ignore it, but it seems as if it's impossible. 

It has to do with my soulmate. Very cliché, I know. But you see, when our souls once were created, they all had a pair, something that somehow adds up. They do not have to be lovers. They could have any sort of relationship. They could love each other, hate each other or anything in the between. I resent mine, but for some messed up reason he loves me

Soulmates share something. Usually just small things like a favourite colour. But sometimes they could also share something deeper, like pain. Something I unluckily was, with my wretched soulmate. But it was his status that was the reason for my blessing from the fairies. 

Those little creatures knew all along who he was, and didn't even try to inform me, other than that blessing that left everyone bewildered. The last many generations hadn't gotten one and now suddenly I, small little O...

I am very sorry for that abruption. He came to remind me of the party being held. It is some annual ball, once for all the important people in the kingdoms. But because of this horrible war, it is now only held for his allies. 

I cannot escape, even if I tried. He has me under a curse, making me unable to leave this prison without him knowing exactly where I am. 

He is the exception when it comes to magic bearers. As weird as this sounds, is his blood the reason. I am almost certain that it would actually be blue if he once bled. Royals somehow also have such an ability as us from Vanora, but those with such a high status have a more powerful magic. 

It differs from royal to royal, but my soulmate, the king's magic is too powerful, which is not good considering his thirst for more power. Lureca, the kingdom I'm from, is suffering under him, the asteabian king's merciless war, only a few months old. But Lureca has something that he doesn't, normal and average subjects with magic. 

The king would never risk being the one in battle, not anymore at least, with his soulmate, who is severely hurt after being in battle herself, in his home. Asteabia may be larger and have a bigger army, but Lureca has magic in theirs, as some from Vanora volunteered to join it. 

But I cannot write more. He is probably growing more impatient with me now that I have been in this room instead of the ball.
