As Kolt and I started walking through the town I saw 'people' looking at me, some even bowing to show respect, I bowed back.

I was amazed at how many people were actually here, or should I say creatures seeing as that was what they were. I checked my heartbeat and found that it was beating calmly in my chest. we walked for ages and every now and again someone would come up to me and say hi and introduce themselves or something. the kids played at my feet, laughing and having fun, I even laughed at their fun wanting to have it myself.

it was a wonderful day, the sun was shining brightly and the wind was blowing softly in the background. the fresh smell of flowers in the air and the light sounds of a flowing river in the backdrop was comforting me as if they were all welcoming me home after a long day's journey.

I felt content here but there was a gnawing at the back of my mind that something bad was going to happen so I turned to Kolt and found him lounging under a tree while I was greeted by everyone. knowing that he wasn't with me and I did all of this in my own made me proud and a bit disappointed, I was disappointed for I would need him anymore after today and I cherished a friend like him. I walked over to him with a sad smile on my face, which made him frown. I sat down next to him and sighed.

"what with the long face?" he asked, I looked up into him coal black eyes and smiled.

"what am I going to do now? now that I know how to hunt, now that I can communicate with the people here? I am sad that I wont get to see my family, but I like it here everything is so peaceful and rejuvinating that I don't think I have the power to leave it in me." I asked and sighed again. Kolt looked at me and smiled.

"you could become king, choose a creature you want to be for the rest of your life, find a mate rule the kingdom wisely and joyfully. be someone to respect be a leader noone will forget. I will always be here to help you if you need it. but for now relax and enjoy. if you are king you can be able to visit your family, but you will always belong here, with us. in Evergreen." he said and I smiled, nodded my head, thanking him.

Over the past few days I met almost everyone who lives here, theres Arial the mermaid, Sunshine the water nymph, Leo the dragon, Blake and the vampire clan, Drake and his pack of werewolves, I was confounded by their abilities as each of them were unique, the stuff in stories didnt even remotely compare to it. like Marie the shifter could become anything her heart desired, whether it be living or not she could become it, she showed how she became a vase without the slightest of hindrance, I was stupidified by the action that she merely had to show me more. Jenny the banshee could walk past anyone and singing making them fall in love with her for the time being, but when she stopped they would turn around and walk away like nothing has happened, when I asked her to do it to me, she sang and when it didnt affect me as it should've, she was shocked to say the least.

she said it had something to do with me being king.

I looked at Kolt and frowned, a memory coming to me as I remembered that day in the hall with the elder all around me and the voice in my head and the power flowing through me. we were at the river bank soaking up the sun, I motioned for Kolt to follow me, he nodded and together we walked.

"do you know what exactly happened that day in the hall? with me showing all that power and the voice?" I asked and saw him stiffening but continued to walk with me.

"if you can remember the voice explicitly told me not to tell you. even if I know." he said.

"but it is my right as future king to know what is happening to me, isn't it?"

"yes, but I fear the voice more than you."

"I am the voice."

"wait a sec, did you just say out of your own free will that you accept to rule the king, no matter what." Kolt said with a wide grin plastered on his face.

"I suppose." a small smile on my own showing itself.

I screamed when I felt him hug me, pick me up and turn me mid air. he was laughing the whole time. I joined in.

"I'm so happy, Evergreen will be restored to its former glory."

he suddenly dropped me, threw me over his shoulder and with me screaming he ran to the middle the town laughing at me as I screamed at him to put me down.

he only stopped when he was in town and he put me down, and being slightly afraid I elbowed him in the ribs, he winced slightly but the grin on his face never went away.

he suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, " LADIES AND GENTS, CREATURES OF ALL AGES AND SIZES, I AMHERE TO ANNOUNCE THATOUR KING HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE UP THE THROWN... AS CELEBRATION TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS.L, WE SHALL THROW HIM A PARTY BOTH BIRTHDAY AND COMING OF AGE PARTY AS WELL AS THE CEREMONIAL PARTY.!!!!"

everyone cheered and immediately went about their business of arranging, fairies growing flowers here abd there,elves getting forest creatures involved to help with the heavy lifting,everone doing a little to contribute to the party.

as the realization that my birthday was tomorrow and that I needed to choose a creature to be for the rest of my life I took a deep breathe and nodded. even though I didn't know which one to choose,since they were allunique in their own way I knew I was going to have to make a hard decision and to think long and hard about it;

"the decision has already been made." the same voice from before said.

"what do you mean?"

"I mean that it has already been made and you will know by tomorrow."

what does that mean?...
