Darla's p.o.v
16 years later.
May 10, 2036. Saturday.
"Aiden come on, Aunt Peevils is waiting for us!" I shout as I pull up my red hair in a ponytail. I fix my red short fluffy dress and hear my phone ringing. I answer it and walk outside.
"Hello?"
"Where are you? Your mom is gonna flip if you don't get here in like 20 seconds." Annabel says and I bang on Aiden's door.
"Right I know just, stall for me I'll get there soon." I say and she sighs.
"Alright, but if Mandy gets impatient and asks Aunt (Y/n) for you, don't blame me." She hangs up and Aiden gets out and I fix his collar.
We run outside and jump in Aunt Peevils's palanquin.
"Are you two ready?" She asks as she fixes her dress and we nod. I look outside as the grass sways around from the movement of the palanquin.
"You two are already 17, I still can't believe how fast you've grown. Annabel is barely 16."
"She's becoming 17 in two months, she's the oldest other than us."
"Oh I know, but still you'll be taking over your mother's kingdom when you're 21. That really is a big responsibility for you both. Annabel will be ruling the Sun kingdom by the alongside you." She smiles proudly at us and I take a deep breath.
"Step by step Aunt Peevils. We've been preparing our whole lives but we're not there yet." Aiden tells her and the palanquin stops.
She hands us our crowns and we put them on, heading out of the palanquin. We walk towards Uncle Light's castle and wave to a few of the townspeople as we pass.
Once we enter, we hear music being played and some people tell us happy birthday along with telling Aunt Peevils happy Mother's Day.
We walk into the ballroom and see Uncle Light talking to our parents as our cousins sit at a table together. My mom glances at us and looks at us, facing us. She walks over to us, picking up her dress and hugs us. We hug back and let go.
"Happy birthday my beasts."
"Thanks mom, happy Mother's Day." We kiss her cheek and she leads us to our dads.
"Hey you two, happy birthday." Both of them say and we hug them.
"How was the trip?" Papa asks.
"It was okay, Aiden took forever to get ready though." I say and Aiden punches my arm.
"Just like your mother. Anyways, your cousins wanted to speak to you." Dad says and we wave as we walk over to the table.
"Happy birthday!" All of them say and we sit at the head of the table.
"Thanks, how's the party so far?" Aiden asks and Jonah, Aunt Cutiepie's son, shrugs.
"It's going good so far, just that mom keeps checking our outfits for you guys." He complains and I giggle.
"You guys are already 17, what the hell happened?" Mandy, Uncle Infelix's daughter asks us.
"Don't cuss, your mom is gonna be on your ass if you say that." Jonah says and Sandra, Aunt Darkiishu's daughter smacks his head.
"You just cussed!"
Let's just clear this up.
Aiden and I, obviously belong to the Gods and Goddess. We're both 17.
Uncle Carnelian had Arly a month after we were born so we're family. 16.
Uncle Light and Aunt Peevils had my cousin Annabel. She was born first after us. She's one of our blood related cousins. 16.
Uncle Brofist and Aunt Cutie had Jonah. 15.
Uncle Infelix and Aunt Elementa had Mandy and Michaela. Both 14.
Uncle Wilford and Aunt Wilamy had William. 14.
Uncle Lighteye and Aunt Darkiishu had Sandra and Sebastian. They're the second of our blood related cousins. Both 13.
Uncle Tim and Aunt Tina had Tamara, which is the youngest out of all of us. 12.
We all got a family necklace and have been inseparable even if we're all almost a year apart.
The whole twin thing rarely happened only to a few of our uncles and aunts.
"Hi Aunt (Y/n)!" William shouts and we jump once we look behind us.
"Hi William. How are you all enjoying the party?" Mom asks.
"It's fun, but can we play different music?" Sebastian asks and she waves him over. He gets up and they walk away.
"Seriously, your mom is so cool along with your dad. You guys are Princess and Prince of a whole dimension!" Michael says and they all nod.
"She's actually pretty scary. Didn't you hear that story where she tortured two people for what they did to dad?" I say and we all shiver.
"Still, that's kind of what we're being raised to do Darla, we have to cut off the bad guys." Mandy says and Aiden groans.
"But we have to lead that! Remember you guys are the future guards, other than the Witch Twins, Arly and Annabel. All 4 of us have to rule over something and thinking about it makes me wanna vomit." Aiden runs his hands through his hair and the others look at us.
"But seriously, we have to stay close in case. None of our parents are stepping down just yet, we have a long way to go." I say and they nod.
"Hey, Aunt (Y/n) says for all of you to come up to the thrones." Sebastian says and we all get up, walking over. We take our places depending on our family title and mom gets everyone's attention.
"Thank you all for coming to my beasts party and telling us mothers happy mothers day. As you all know, we won't be stepping down from our positions until the next generation are of appropriate age. But that does not mean anything will change dramatically. We will still be your rulers and gods, we still have authority. Either way, I know it has been a few years since peace ever since that war with the time keeper, but we are now finally in peace!" Mom announces and everyone cheers.
"Bring it in!" Dad says and a few maids come in with small boxes on trays. They bow in front of us and we look at each other.
Our parents walk down and take some boxes. Our parents walk back to us and hold out the boxes to us. We take them gently and they stand behind us again.
"Put them on." Our parents whisper to us and we take out a ring with a stone in the middle that's a color of our personality.
Each stone is either surrounded with a sun or moon depending on which Kingdom we belong to.
"Connect the hands with the rings in the air." They tell us and we group up, reaching towards the sky and touching each others hands. The rings glow and our parents smile.
"All hail the next generation!"

Hello, again, thank you for reading! I am not sure if I'll be making a book regarding the next generation but who knows!
Have a nice day/night!
