The Lost Chosen Heirs - A Mahalima-Inspired Set of Novels

Sálvame De Mi Mismo

For what felt like forever, the people of Moontown felt happiness and peace again. Everyone is excited for the festivities and to see their beloved king. Every home is decorated with the colours of the royal family: black and gold. The Moontown Events Hall was already decorated with colors to honor the royal family. Some of the royal security team has already arrived to ensure the safety and security of the monarchs.

By noontime, the king, his family, and the royal entourage. Every citizen of the town cheered with joy, overflowing with love and admiration. Many of the young ladies of Moontown swoon over the handsome crowned prince. He looks so immaculate and regal in his simple black suit adorned with badges he acquired from his military training and the emblem of their royal house. His smile never wavered for his people, and he looked so happy to be in Moontown.

"Beloved people of Moontown, it gladdens my heart to be with you today. Gods, how long has it been? I remember when I was but a boy. This town was one of the last stops of my father's final kingdom tour as a king. He was old but never fragile, but I saw him at his weakest. I was his only son, yet people could not accept me for I was a bastard. I feared for the lives of my people if war for the crown would ignite." The king stopped and looked at the people inside the event hall.

"This town; this town was the very first town that screamed my name and called me their prince. That day, I promised to do everything I could to help this town. Many years have passed, and you have not given me the chance. Moontown is one of the most independent towns I have known, and you have proven, once again, that the people of this town are warriors. I am both proud and humbled to present the Warrior's First to this town's favorite sons. Moontown, may I present Ken Felipe Jaeger and Joshua Alexander, our modern-day heroes, to you."

It was like the sound of heavy rain suddenly pouring when the whole town cheered for their heroes. The two teenagers went up to the stage to receive their medal of honor and greet their king. All of Moontown roared and cheered for both boys, and their families were there to show their love and support. Each father was holding their children so close as if silently saying thanks for what could be the only reason they were still together. It was the perfect picture of loving families coming together, of a community that remained united and strong after surviving one of the darkest times in its history.

"I discovered something about you, young sirs." The king finally spoke again after savoring the cheer of the crowd. Joshua and Ken looked confused. "I heard you two are great singers. Will you do me the honor?"

"Yes!"

"Sing! Sing! Sing!"

Everyone started chanting, encouraging them to sing. Ken's reaction quickly changed. He was never comfortable singing in front of strangers, but Joshua placed his arm around his shoulders and smiled at him. Joshua's encouraging nod and warm smile convinced Ken he could do it. One of the event's production crew gave them each a microphone.

"Once again, Moontown, your heroes."

And when Ken and Joshua started singing, it was as if the Lady of Peace graced them with her presence. Nobody moved or made a sound, for they were all in awe of Ken's and Joshua's beautiful voices. Some even began to cry as they started swaying to the tune of an emotional song that Joshua chose for their impromptu performance. Everyone in the hall witnessed the beauty of their voices and the bond they formed in just a short period.

"Vester, sing us a song." Pablo's goofy smile flashed in front of Vester.

"Yes, Vester. Please!" Justin seconded with his puppy eyes. 

"How can I refuse if you both looked like idiots?"
