Come What May

Chapter 1

Anira's pov. 

"Shane it's getting late"

"I know it is Anira"

"Shouldn't we hurry and..."

He kissed me, preventing me from finishing my thought. I stood there slightly dazed as he took my hand and started leading me on to an unknown destination.

"Just trust me for now, okay?"

"Okay, but if we..."

He cut me off again by turning and giving me a "just trust me" look. I watched him as he continued leading me to some destination he had in mind. I am always stunned when I think about him. His blond hair is always in a neat but wild way, and his eyes like deep blue crystals that seem to see my soul.

We came to some alleyway and he stopped. I almost walked right into him. He whistled long and slow and received the faint whine of a horse in return. Two winged horses flew off the roof of the nearby building. One of the Pegasus  was a beautiful pure white mare and the other one was a black Stallion. They came to Shane as if they knew him and I slowly started to back away. Shane noticed me and gently grabbed my arm. He pulled me back to his side and placed my hand on the white mares side.

"Her name is Datria, I've raised her for you."

"Shane.....thank you."

I hugged him then continued stroking Datria. She nuzzled me gently and though this was the first time we had met, I could understand her without any words being said. Shane hugged me from behind, his breath was hot on the back of my neck. He held me for several minutes and I suddenly felt tired. It was as if someone had put a spell on me. I started to fall and someone caught me. I was put on Datria and heard someone mount the other Pegasus. Then everything went dark.

 

Shane's pov.

"Onward Caelix, we must reach Pesigonia by dawn."

He neighed softly in response and urged his mate Datria on. What Anira didn't know was that she was the lost princess of my world, Pesigonia. A land of magic, mystery, and evil. The royal crown had sent their only daughter to live in the mortal world because if she got into evil hands all we fight for would be lost. Now they need her strength and sent their best military generals to find her once more and bring her home. I found her first and sent air messages and told the crown to call all others back because I had found her.

I watched her black hair flow in the moonlight. I smiled remembering the look in her green eyes when I kissed her. My mission was only to protect her and bring her home, but I ended up falling in love with her. We were promised to each other at birth so its is fitting that we already fell in love. Besides, it will give me someone to fight for. Someone who I can protect and love. I thought about how this was going to play out for Anira. No one in this human realm, not even those she called friends or family, will remember that she ever existed.
