The Borealis Prophecy

Dear Aurora;

I want you to remember that it wasn't always this way. I know that by the time you read this letter, it may be too late for me or for Seraphina but I would like you to sit down and have an open mind for what I'm about to tell you. If anything, I hope this letter answers the questions I'm sure that you have about yourself and your origins and I hope this letter gives you the sense of closure that you deserve.

Whether you chose to believe this or not, you were brought into this world from true love. There was a time, long ago, before the last standing memory you might have with her (whatever it might be) that Seraphina was a woman the Elemental world admired and longed to stand by. She was as loyal and feisty as she was beautiful. She was kind as she treated those around her with a resounding respect and fairness that only a prophecy could claim. There was a time where she was loved as profoundly as she gave it.

Seraphina met me when we were teenagers. She was betrothed to another man who neglected and abused her but her parents ignored this, as he was rich and with a strong Elemental status within the Borough. They felt that he would suit well as the next King and that his neglect and abuse was just a small price to pay for a strong and wealthy leader.

I have always been close with Seraphina's younger sister, Amber. I never spoke to Seraphina, her quiet forlorn self always excluded herself from everything her family did yet I remember them running through the fire Borough's valley, chasing each other as Seraphina surrounded her sister with a moving and stable love.

Everything changed the night Amber turned fifteen. Amber was wrongfully exiled into the human world. Amber was born into the world with no element and no eyes that represented her heritage. Amber and Seraphina spent the majority of their childhood playing together as carefully as Seraphina could without hurting Amber. Her element had surfaced at the young age of nine but Amber spent her whole childhood waiting anxiously for the arrival of her element but to her horror, it never surfaced. Seraphina ran into my home and took comfort with me, as she knew I would be the only other Elementist who would understand her mourning. That day she swore she would reign as Queen, have a noble man by her side as King and bring her sister back whether her parents respected it or not, and Seraphina was the type of woman to get what she wanted. In the time span of about six months, Seraphina brought Amber home and broke her engagement while finding love with me.

However, that didn't mean we had a storybook ending, my love. We were hunted, tracked down, tortured and misunderstood by the human world when Liam Van Harlem surfaced. I tried to kill him but Seraphina stopped me from committing an act I would forever hate myself for and Liam Van Harlem hid in the shadows while he created his armies of Trackers.

A year later, we conceived you and that was when the visions began. We learned about the prophecy of The Borealis Girl a long time ago but nothing could have prepared us for the fate we would endure upon your arrival. Seraphina battled her insanity as your power and your bright future took its toll on her body, mind and soul. You unknowingly destroyed her, but this was fate. Neither you nor I could control the result, my love. So, please believe me when I say this, she would do it again. She sacrificed her sanity and her freedom to bring you into this world. It was a small sacrifice to make to bring The Borealis girl into a broken world.

"Conceived out of true love, born into disaster, and finally bring together a world that is falling apart through sacrificing The Borealis girl's broken heart."

This is what was written for you, though I'm not exactly sure of what is meant by this, but I have faith that you can and will save our world. Seraphina held you only for a brief moment before gently placing you into my arms. Her heart was already growing cold, and she could feel the darkness overwhelming her. I hid you away, where no one would ever find you. It's in your blood to outsmart everyone and so far, you have my beautiful child. I'm so proud of who you've become, even if I'm not physically apart of your life, I see you and the woman you're to become.

Now, I'm looking across from my throne to see a battered and severely broken woman who is falling apart without you in her life but I hope that you know that this is for the best. Her insanity and her cruelty is not under her control any longer. I hope that you can learn to forgive her when the time comes that she is driven by a higher power to be your devastation.

Seraphina is losing her memory and the memory of your love along with it. It's hard for her to come to terms with the prophecy you were born with. She's struggling to resist the temptation to hurt you even when all she wants to do is love you. She's ashamed, waiting for the day that she turns on everyone, like written in your prophecy. Not that this is your fault. None of this is your fault.

I love you, and somewhere deep within Seraphina, even if we think its non-existent there's a piece of her that will always, always love you too.

Yours;

Draco
