A angels revenge

Chapter one

It was a day like every other, the sun was shining. Only it wasn't a regular day, becouse it was the day of the kings funeral. All one after one brought flowers. Commander Caelus and his daughter Persephone were also there. They walken slowly to the tomb,
"Persephone, why dont you go and lay down the flowers for the king i will talk to the priest." Her Father said.
"They have come here from the Tempel. They are searching for potential peopel that seem worthy, to partake in the holy ceremony, which will choose the next ruler."
"Realy? What happens in the ceremony?" She asked
"I will tell you ones we get back to our Home"
She noded and as he went to the Priest, she walked towards the tomb. The tomb was decorated with all kinds of Juwels, Saphires, Rubies, Diamonds and Pearls. Truly worthy of a king. She laid down the Flowers and as she looked at them, she could only think about, how sad it would be, that soon they would be dead as well. In that moment a glow interrupted from her Hands and went to the Flowers.
Soon the Flowers looked more alive then they had before. And not only that, they had a magical glow. The Priest, who had before talked to her Father, was soon by her side.
„My Dear" he said," You have been bestowed a gift from the gods upon you are one of the chosen!"
„What do you mean? A Gift from the Gods? Choosen one? What are they talking about Father?"
Caelus could only look at his daughter he didn't know what to say. His daughter had a gift from the gods. She was now one of the chosen. She could be the next ruler.
„Father?"
„Persephone, the chosen ones are people, who have been given a gift from the gods. As we now don't have a ruler, the people with such gifts are searched. As they could be the next ruler,if they should be seen as worthy. You will partake in the holy ceremony."
„I.. could be the next... ruler?"
„Yes, he speaks the truth, dear." the priest spoke.
She couldn't believe. She could be the new ruler of Celestia . What if she would be seen as worthy to be Queen? She didn't know how to be a queen. How should she run a kingdom?
„Caelius, take her home and get out her best dress. She is the last one of the ten chosen so the Ceremony will be at dusk tonight. It will be held at the holy Tempel.Don't be late"
„Oh, come on im never late."
„Uhm Father.. You're-„
„Not a word, Persephone" Her father spoke
The priest couldn't hold back his laughter.
„I will see you both at Dusk"
And so they walked home. On the way, were trees and many flowers. Even though Persephones father was the commander of the royal guard. He didn't live in some fancy mansion on one of the flying islands. He lived a very humble life. Soon they came to the edge of the island. Persephone smiled and soon she was gliding in the wind. On the way to a forest near the capital city of Celestial. But unlike the capital city, the forest wasn't on an island. It was on the ground.
Mostly the Mansions or castles of Nobels were on the Islands, some city's too. But the biggest proportion of people who lived in the Kingdom was living on the ground. So it wasn't really uncommon to life there but for someone with much influence, like the commander, it was quite unusual.
They flew down and onto a little clearing, there was a small cottage. It was overgrown by various plants. As Persephone landed she stretched her wings in the light the almost seemed to glitter golden.
„I cant believe this Persephone, you could be the next Queen! I know you would be a great Queen, you care for these people."
He smiled loving at her, she knew in a way he was right. But what would it be like to have this responsibility could she Handle such pressure. She didn't know.
„Father, what happens in the ceremony?"
He looked at her and smiled.
„Ill tell you inside come on"
Inside, he gestured for her to sit at his side on the small sofa the owned.
After she sat down he startet talking again.
„So, its a little difficult to explain. When a King or Queen dies ,there isn't an ruler. In most Kingdoms, then the oldest son rises to the Thron and his oldest son after him. Here we dont have this Systeme as our people have strong connection to The gods as they gave us our powers and wings. They also gave us a sword its a holy weapon. Only 10 holy items exist and each kingdom has its own. The sword can only be used by someone it deems worthy to rule. And so it is said that should it deem you worthy the diamond would change its colour. In the Ceremony each one of the people who have been choosen by the Tempel will step forward and hold there Hand over the Sword and give up some of they're magic. If the diamonds colour changes to the ey colour of the person, they are deemed worthy be the sword. In youre case it would turn red."
„What are the other Holy objects?"
„Well i know that there is a ring, a grail and a Shield but i don't know anymore than that, but now get ready. It will be dusk soon. „
Persephone nodded and rushed to her room.. Even though there house wouldn't show it, Persephone had many beautiful
dresses. One was her favorite by far. It was a red with a heart neckline and bell slevees. It had a slit up to her thigh and little gold accents. The skirt was floor length and was so long that she even had a little train it was a very simpel dress for celestial fashion. Most dresses were reviling and extravagant. But this one now she would only have to choose gloves and what she schould do with her hair. Her has always been something rare , its long, almost to her hip and Snow White. It had soft curls in it and flowed like a waterfall down her back. She could put it up? Or maybe she would let it down and put a traditionell braid style in. Yeah that will fit she thought. As She worked to braid two little stands. Then she put in a little red pearl and let the strands fall down. Now gloves she thought.
She choose white lace gloves. Gloves were always worn in the Tempel as a sign of respect to the gods. Men and Women alike owned several pairs.
Finally she was ready now the could go the Tempel. Dusk would be soon ad they had to be on Time. She ran down the stairs and put on her shoes.
„Father! Are you ready yet? It'll be dusk soon!"
She heard him as he also walked down the stairs in full uniform.
„Im ready, lets go then. Are you exited?" He smiled gently down at her.
She could only nod. And So the flew to the tempel, through the clouds and over the capital. Slowly the clouds startet to Change colour as the sun was slowly coming down. Just as Dusk startet the arrived at the Tempel. Someothers were standing around. A Girl with black hair and icy blue eyes, a boy with red hair and green eyes and one with brown eyes, lastly a girl with pink hair and violet eyes. All were standing around with there parents, waiting for the Priest supreme to arrive.
Finally the huge doors to the Tempel opened and all entered. The we walked to the center of the altar where the sword layed.
„This is the Holy Sword Alrestia, it will show if you are worthy to rule. You will need to hold youre Hand over the sword and give a bit of youre magic into the sword. If the changes its colour to that of youre eyes , you will be deemed fit to rule. The process of giving Mana up into the sword is very hard so please take youre Time. You will have to center and find youre magical core an pull the mana out. It can take a few minutes so we will begin shortly after a prayer."
All set down on there knees holding there Hands up to Pray
The priest startet speaking and all listend to him.
„Oh our gracious gods, please hear our prayer. We pray to you for guidens to find a good Soul under these 5 people. We pray for the safety of our next ruler, may they live a live full of happiness."
the Priest ended the prayer and slowly the others were standing up the first to go to the sword wa on of the red haired boys. He tried but couldn't Succeed the same faith was also befalling the others now it was Persephones turn. She walked to the Altar were the sword was Laying. It was silver with many in graved flowers and finally the Diamond in the middle of the Handel. A she held her hand over t she closed her eyes to focus. She slowly focused on here core. And the Priest had spoken the truth as he said it was hard to pull out mana. Finally she managed to pull out mana. She let it glied into her hand and let it go. As she opened her eyes she looked around. The Priest was looking at the Handel smiling happily. And as she looked at the Juwel she it had turned red.
