Love At First Kingdom

Chapter Twenty Five

I burst out laughing as Legion picks up the pace and starts galloping.  I shake my head and wrap a blanket around my shoulders.

"And pigs fall from the sky !" I snort and roll my eyes. I can feel the protest from him bubble up.

"Its true! I can feel it in you! Why do you think your parents left you?" He hums. I freeze and smile falls.

"How do you know about my parents?" I snap.

"I've lived with you your entire life along with your mother and all her ancestors. I know your parents better then you do."

"Because Im human..." I  look down and my fingers curl around the reins.

"Because youre both. "

"Why'd they leave me?..."

"You were declared a disgrace as soon as you couldn't make a flower grow." He says softly as I stare ahead. My jaw tightens as we start to climb the mountain.

"Then why am I the choosen one?" I scoff.

"Because you are the only one that holds the will and soul to hold the power. There's no other half Fae's out there. And no Fae has your will and no human has your soul."

"Thomas. You shouldve given it to Thomas. You made a terrible choice choosing me. I'm sort and hot headed and I cabt run fast. I'm suprised Im not  dead.  He can hold the power." I grind my teeth.

"But Thomas doesnt have the remorse you have. He's torn between two halves.  One on side he is kind and caring. The picture perfect king with a stern hand. On the other he has a ruthless side,only one person alone can hold him back. "

"Me..." I groan. If he could nod he'd be nodding slowly.

"You two together make the legend. You alone are the choosen one. And him alone makes him ruthless. Every legend has its dark side.  Every legend  has to have its dark side to protect. You two control that dark side and make the legend. "

"If I could rip your head off I would." I mutter.

"My apologies Alexander. "He says softly. We're silent for half an hour. " You're wondering about Thomas..."

"No shit Sherlock ." I mutter.

"He's okay. You'd know if he was gone I can...."

"Sense him." I sigh." Everyone can sense him. Hes powerful,hes a king,you bow before him and spit on me. Im a mutt."

"So they've turned that into an insult now?" He scoffs. He sounds angey and the warmth in my stomach flares.

"Hasnt it always?"

"No. When I was alive to be a mutt was an honor. You usally had much more power then anyone could dream of. A mutt had the courage to be a leader and help everyone.  The pure bloods only think of themselves and their social standards.  Mutts put everyone before the. Theyre the true leaders."

" What do you mean,' when you were alive'?"i cock my head. The sun should be up by now.Its not. He laughs and I can see his smile.

"Everyone and everything was once alive my dear Alex. The clouds.  The grass.  The rocks.  The spirits. Me. We were all once alive."

"You were the first choosen one from the war."my eyes widen.

"I wasnt the choosen one." He sighs. " We only expected one war so we assumed I was the choosen one. I was just in the rught place in the right time. Yes, I helped win the war. But im not The Peace Bringer. "

"I am..." I groan.

"Youre going to do amazing Alex. You and Thomas. Just you wait. For once Mutts will be put down as the heros of the story instead of the pures. You and Thomas can not be easily dismisses from history. Just you wait."

"Thank you." I manage a small smile.

"Youre worried about Thomas still?"i nod. " Thomas is alive. But he's.. not himself.  Aaron holds his mind. Hes fighting agaunst it with everything he has but hes giving up slowly as Aaron slaughters his citizens. Hes waiting for you. He keeps screaming how much he loves you and uses that power to fight.  You two have a special bond. No wonder youre..." he cuts himself off and sighs."I suggest you be careful around where he is or learn to use your powers quickly. "

"Powers?" I gasp

"Think Alexander. Youre a smart man. Learn. Adaopt. Fight. You have your patents powers and more.  Learn." I sigh and shake my.

"You over estimate me." My eyes raise to thw black skies qith a slight blue tint to it from  the moon. I watch a cloud drift by lazuly and cover up the moon. My body offers warmth. Legion hasnt shivered once or complained once since qe entered the snow. We're moving increadably fast too.

"Or everyone under estimates you.  Youre going to blow everyone away Alex.  Yourself included . I have faith in you.  Thomas has a faith in you. You can do this. Youre an amazing individual. "

"You sound like youre flirting . Don't let Thomas hear." We laugh."Thank you, for everything."

" Youre welcome ." Theres silence for a minute." If I was you id start thinking of a plan to get into Burr's.  It's going to take everything you have to get in."

I look up and gasp at the castle,no, fortress towring infront of me surrounded by snow."Good luck Alexander. "

And that was the last time I heard his voice.
