NOVA SET THE OCEAN ON FIRE. Mother above. No one had ever done that before. And now, Selena's sister, a sister that she was supposed to kill, had done it with no difficulty.
It should have been impossible.
Selena's own planned arrival paled in comparison. She wrung her hands together as she watched the boat containing members of the House of Flames reach the docks. As tradition, they didn't yet walk down. No, the sisters would step foot in the Kingdom at the same time so that no one girl had "claim" over it.
Selena chewed her lip raw. What was she to do? She knew that she was already deemed the weakest of the four, the one least likely to become Queen, to survive. The Kingdom became closer and closer as she tried to think of another plan. A plan that would shadow over Nova's.
"Selena? Are you ready?"
Finn. She could have sighed from relief. Of all people, Finn would understand.
She turned to face her oldest friend. "We need a new plan."
No flash of surprise flickered in his eyes. No, there was just a grim understanding resonating in his face. An understanding that come from years of being shadowed by someone else. In his case, Selena noted with a twinge of guilt, that someone else was her.
"What do you suggest?" There was no judgment in his tone, just calculation. Selena could have kissed him.
Instead, she turned her attention back towards the approaching Kingdom. The wind whipped her understated dress every which way.
"Nova lit the ocean on fire. I'm going to build a water dome above the Kingdom."
Finn raised an eyebrow. "What the hell? Selena, you can do a lot of impressive shit, but no one is that powerful. The Kingdom is massive."
She allowed a small smile onto her face. "It's not just going to be me, Finn. But no one else needs know that."
"So you're going to lie to appear more powerful than Nova?" he asked, amusement lacing his voice.
Selena shrugged, and carelessly flicked her dark hair over her shoulder. "For those of us born without power, we have to use lies and illusions to seem equal. And that's what I intend to do."

It did not take much convincing for her people to agree to her plan. They were all so eager to help Selena become Queen, to have another monarch from the House of Waves. And, they loved her, as did the Council.
The only person on the ship that looked disgusted with her scheme was Arabella from the House of Flames. For the several minutes of rushed activity, she was the one person that stood off to the side, scowling, with her pale arms crossed over her chest.
