A Secret Kingdom

Prologue

Once Upon A Time...

Two kingdoms fought for power and land. For many generations the two families sought to expand their kingdom and be the superior power. The long and gruesome wars lead the leaders to plead for allegiance. But how could they trust each other? A simple piece of paper could be broken. How can they make sure the other would abide by the allegiance?

One of the Kingdoms, Winterstone, had a princess named Rosy, who was kind and fair. She spent her mornings studying while in her evenings she choose to listen to her people's problems. She loved to help in any way she could and usually got her way.

In Winterstone, there was not only the princess Rosy but the heir to the throne, her older brother named Peter. Peter could not spend the time he needed to with his people as he was planning for war against a kingdom called, Silverstone. He rarely was even in his own kingdom as he was out at the front of the lines fighting for his people. Peter did not want to expand his kingdom like his father, King Henry. Peter's only reason for fighting is preserving Winterstone. That is the reason he suggested the allegiance to his father.

While the two older siblings worked to improve the kingdom, the two younger siblings, Penny and Tommy, sought to enjoy their childhood with games around the castle. The Queen of Winterstone usually spent her time with them playing games in the castle garden.

The other kingdom, Silverstone, was caught in a situation set up by their ancestors. The King of Silverstone, King Harry, did not want a war. His father's father wanted to expand Silverstone but at the cost of many deaths. With great relief at the allegiance suggestion by Winterstone, King Henry gladly wanted to accept. However, He was skeptical if Winterstone would abide by this new allegiance or if they wanted Silverstone to be open to a defeat, but with the new allegiance matters had turned.

In Silverstone, the heir, Prince Charlie, was born in the time of war and fear in the kingdom. The King considered two options when his first son was born. One was to protect his son and send him away from the war, but he would not know what true war looked like. The other was to send his son into training where he could be prepared. While Prince Charlie and his younger brother, Prince Will, trained day after day in their childhood to adulthood, their younger sisters, Maggie and Kara, enjoyed the simplicity of their castle.

King Harry of Silverstone and King Henry of Winterstone met on the first day of the harvest season. They discussed the issue of war and the fear of being in an alliance without making sure the other would not attack. When the meeting came to a conclusion the document, The Treaty of Winterstone and Silverstone, was drafted up and signed by both kings. It was agreed upon that Prince Charlie of Silverstone and Princess Rosy would be married and Rosy would adjust to Silverstone life as a symbol of peace between Winterstone and Silverstone.

However...
