Mission

Prologue

The story of the three royal siblings.

Sesmana is a peaceful yet lively place. The green fruit trees, the berry bushes, and the grass sway slowly in the wind. The kids shout joyfully. They play around at the city's central market. The old, watch and live a peaceful life. But it hasn't always been like that.

40 years ago. The king was dying and was in need of an heir to the throne. The king was in doubt, who of his children should he choose? The princess who was the oldest and of course the most mature, but during this time, it wasn't allowed for princesses to be heirs. The second oldest prince was a womanizer and a slag. He always came late for training and lessons. He flirted with any woman and often took them home and then there's the youngest prince was very young and inexperienced. But he was also arrogant and selfish.

During the decision of who was going to be the heir, there was a lot of tension between the siblings. They all wanted to be the heir. The king became weaker and weaker. He had to make a decision soon.

When the day came and the king was on his deathbed. He summoned his children. He called his daughter with a breathy voice. The king could barely breathe nor talk but the princess leaned over and the king whispered into her ear. Her eyes turned wide, and she lost all the color on her face. After his last words, he slowly closed his eyes and let out his last breath.

The king had chosen the oldest prince. The princess was furious. Why didn't the king go after traditions and choose the oldest child? Was it because she was a woman? Of course, that had to be the answer. Her gaze turned dark when she saw her brother boast over being the heir. She walked up to him and looked him right in the eye and said.

"You're no longer my brother, you're now my nemesis. You will pay for this."

The princess stormed out of the room. Her hair turning darker. The princes looked at each other and shrugged. The second prince was disappointed but tried to understand why his father had chosen the prince. Though he felt a tugging feeling in his chest. A growing hate towards his older brother.

Months went and the princess had locked herself in her room. She turned thin as a doll, her eyes turned dull, she got dark eye bags and her skin had gone pallid. She was no longer the same.

The youngest prince was also turning darker. He couldn't stop the hateful feeling against his brother. He came to the princess every day, and they planned to assassinate their brother.

During this time, the new king was searching for a queen to be his wife but always came back with nothing but shame. Ever since he was crowned king, he also had changed. But for the better, he always came in time and he no longer took home women. He knew that he had to become mature, for not only himself but for his country.

One day when he was out in the city's central market, he noticed a special lady with Jade eyes and white, long and wavy hair. She was wearing dirty clothes and was clearly the daughter of a peasant. But something about her caught the new king's eye.

A couple weeks later, the king had learned the woman's name. Abrela. The king loved the sound of the name, so mystic and beautiful. Just like her. He stalked up to her and started talking to her with great difficulty. But the lady was generous and kind, and they started talking every day. The princess and prince noticed this and the hate towards their brother grew only stronger.

The king and Abrela fell in love and got married. Soon they expected a child. The princess was furious. No king had married a peasant before. But the younger brother was starting to doubt. Was it really that bad?

When the time came for Abrela to deliver the child, she took her last breath as her baby took their first. The king was filled with grief, he held his newborn daughter and cried. Before the queen died, her last words were "Aeril, that's her name." The child had soft white locks and Jade green eyes. The older princess was overjoyed by the new queen's death but the younger prince was in grief. Ever since the queen came to the palace, it hadn't been the same. There was no longer darkness and tension. The queen made it all disappear with one smile. The prince had started to like the kind lady. He took a big step and turned his back to the princess.

The princess was obviously furious. Why does everyone turn their back to her? Why does nobody understand and see her talents? Why didn't her dad see them? She hated the fact that she was a lady. She hated the fact that she was underestimated.

A couple days later the princess was out in the library, she found a large book about crystals and their powerful magic. She read the book several times and memorized each page and soon she started to learn to bend magic and planned to kill both her brothers. They weren't good enough for a powerful country. They were useless. 'Soon' she thought. 'Soon.'

The years went and Aeril turned 3 years old. The princess attacked and tried to kill the king but the youngest brother threw himself towards his brother and saved him. The king held his dead brother in his arms and cried. During the failed assassination of the king, the princess made an army of clay monsters and several soldiers died. The princess was put away in a deep slumber thanks to seven crystals. Those crystals were;
Fire Agate for strength, courage, and protection,
Leumarian for wisdom,
Rose Quartz for love and peace,
Aragonite for patience and reliability,
Selenite for clarity of mind, and concentration,
Ametrine for optimism
And Citrine for revitalizing, and cleansing.

The king ordered soldiers to spread the crystals across the country so that the princess wouldn't find them if she woke up.

And that is the story of The Three Royal Siblings
