Star Crossed

Chapter 2

On Earth it's the year 2004. On a day I was born my parents rulers of the Atrians had been to war to save our people. My mother had just finished her speech to them when I was born. I had blue eyes and brown hair. All Atrians have markings humans call them "tattoos" what kind of name is that? Markings showed who we were. It was dishonorable to remove them. At this point in time we would have never dreamed of it. Sure we had our wars and our differences. This was one thing no one would want to happen to them. You got your marking removed if you did one of the most unforgettable crimes. When we are born we go to the elders to get our names. My father was one of the youngest there. He got the honor of giving me and my soon to be born sister our names.

"Roman. After the great worrier who lead us to victory in this long battle. All who agree say I and all who disagree say Naeh."

I was told that it was a unanimous vote across the whole group. I still have the feeling that someone, anyone could have wanted a different name. I couldn't just have a normal name like... I don't know Jace? I know it sounds ridiculous but it was very common to us. Roman! Who's name is called Roman? I will someday accept the fact that my name is Roman. Someday that is not in the near future. With the war over my parents believed we would live in peace with our nemeses. I lived one whole year before my little sister was born she looked more like my mother than me. My father and I look the same. My sister had light blonde hair and green eyes. The only thing we all had in common was that we all had freckles. The thing about the Atrians is that only royalty had freckles.

"Sophia. After the elder who taught us healing. All who agree say I. All who disagree say Naeh."

What! She gets a sorta normal name! She doesn't       have to live with the pain about having a wired name! This is not fair. We grew up like a normal brother and sister. Fighting one second to saying I would hurt someone if they touch you the next. Everything seamed perfect we all had no idea what was going to happen in 5 years or we were all going. Right then we lived in the moment.
2009
Our father fought us to swim, hunt and everything a father should teach his children. My mother taught me and my sister the same exact things. She learned how to cook so did I. From sowing to growing herbs we  learned it together. Most people disagreed with my parents upbringing. Yet they still followed them in to battle. So I guess they want to raise all children like this from now on? Most likely if they go against my parents they will live with guilt that my mother can put on them. My father can shape shift in to anyone or anything. Only if he has seen it before. My sister is a healthier like her meaning of her name. I can borrow powers. I think of one and use it to my advantage. When we are using our powers our markings glow. It's a beautiful thing for markings to glow they show when we are having and extreme emotion. It's like our tell sign to back off or to stay with us. I never thought that I would ever find love like my parents had. With royalty get married off to the best princess or prince they could find. Sure I'm a guy I shouldn't mind be married off to one of my best friends. I do mind! I don't want to even think about being married to the one and only Teri from the coven to the right of our kingdom.
