•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•We walk down the steps of the throne room will our veil's covering our eyes. Alina glances at the General who is staring at the king and queen before following his gaze.
The enormous room was filled with court members who were dressed in sparkly gowns and sharp jackets. The Grisha had arranged themselves in orderly lines flanking the aisle.
Every face turned to look at them.I clench my fist trying to calm my anxiety. We turn to the last set of stairs before walking down them. Right in front of us is the king and queen who sits on their throne. I look at the court members before turning my gaze to the king and queen.
The king gestures to a servant to take our veil's. Me and Alina glance at the general before taking our veils off and handing them to the servant who gladly takes them.
I than hear the crowd murmuring and look around before glancing behind me at the four guards who stands a few feet behind us and the grisha's who stand behind them. I look back up front and shift one foot to another.
"I thought Irina would be taller."The king spoke and my mouth falls agape looking at the king offended.
"And I thought the other girl was shu."The queen spoke up. Me and Alina glance at each other "Well, I guess she's shu enough."She mutters. The general looks at us and Alina looks at the ground stunned by the king and queen's racism. Alina glances at the general.
"Tell her...oh, I don't know...good morning."The queen asks the woman beside her who nods and went to speak but gets cut off by Alina.
"I don't actually speak shu, your highness."Alina spoke up and I grab her hands and give it a squeeze she glances at me and I give her a tight lip smile before letting go over her hand.
"Then what are you and the other girl?"The queen asks and it's silents. I look behind us not liking how the attention was on us waiting for an answer making me clench my fist even more digging my nails into my skin starting to feel more anxious.
"She is Alina Starkov and Irina Marshall."The general spoke for us and I look at him. "The sun and the pheonix summoner, moya tsaritsa."he bows his head and me and Alina glance at each other before doing the same thing.
"She will change the future. They both will."The general tells them and I widen my eyes at him. Me? What does he mean by that? I can't change the future. "Starting now." He raises his right arm as he calls upon the darkness letting it spread through the room creating loud rumbling sounds.
I gulp and look at Alina nervously. What does he mean that I will be able to change the future with Alina. I thought it was Alina who was able to not me?
The general than stands in front of us and we look at him. He nods his head at us before leaning towards our ear.
"Now call the sun and pheonix."He whispers. I look and the king and queen who waits for us to do something. The general moves away before grabbing my hand along with Alina's hand.
I look down at our hands before at the general. Nothing happened for a few solid seconds before I felt a rush of power and light erupted through the room. Colorful tendrils flew around the room creating what looked like a star explosion banishing the shadows. I felt my eyes glow and my hair started to raise around my face and my veins began to glow. I felt a slight pain on my back and I started to hear gasps and murmurs before me and Alina released a surge of power that banished the rest of the darkness.
The general glances over at me in a look of surprise and shock before dropping both our hands. I hear clapping and I look at my hands that had stopped glowing in amusement.
"Bravo! Bravo!"The king claps while everyone complimented us. "How long will they need?"the king asks as the clapping dies down and I drop my hands to my side before looking at the king. The general takes a few steps forward.
"Destroying the fold will be no easy feat. They alone may not be able to do it. They both will remain with me at the little palace to train..."he pauses. "Undisturbed."
"Then train them quickly."the king orders. "Our wars have been a noble pursuit, but this chatter from the west about becoming a sovereign nation, that needs to stop. The sooner we are one country again, the better."
"Agreed..."The general says. "Moi tsar."he bows and I bow as well with Alina. The king nods and the general turns around and grabs both our hands leading us to the grisha's. "You both were perfect."
"I don't know where it came from."Alina spoke a bit exited with a smile on her face. The general stops at turns to Alina.
"It came from everywhere."The general tells her. While I stand there still trying to process everything. "Because you both called upon it to come."
I did?
"Welcome home, Miss Starkov."The general before walking away leaving leaving us there buffled. I stare at Alina and she stares at me with a look of bewildered on her face.
Alina than gets pulled into a hug taking her in by surprise before more grisha's began to hug her and compliment her.
Welp, back to being the feared one again.
I let out a sigh and look at Alina feeling jealous as I watch the other grisha's support her. Why can't they just know that I'm not scary.
While everyone's attention is on her I walk around the grisha's and to the set of stairs without looking back as I walk up the stairs. They didn't even notice that I left.
When will I ever be happy?
