Dusk-To-Dawn

There was Fire in Her Heart. Raging to engulf the darkness and bring the gloom into a Blazing Light. Yet first she must set down her mask of dawn and embrace the twilight of Dusk.

Queen Aliyah readied an entourage of 12 Angel-Guards and 14 Men-at-Arms. She decided to use her Star-Sailor instead of the other crafts. This one was named Jukes-701. 

[A Star-Sailor is a craft which is faster than light. Is meant for trans-celestial travels.] 

Jukes-701 or as commonly known, Jukesa; now took flight from the platform of one of the towers at Platinosa. Jukesa now flew in the direction of Dubai. Within one second it was parked at the Dubai-Palace's large terrace. 

"What is the meaning of this, Big Sister?" Prince Vizara inquired. 

"I need an audience with the King." Was all she said as she walked pass him and entered the building, steering left towards the King's bedroom. It was still morning. 

*KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK* She hammered the door with her tight fist. Dented it actually, because her gift was Prowess and she was blessed with the ability called as Jade-Magnesia. 

She heard a grumble from inside and some noises, someone came to the door and was about to open it when she lost it. Totally lost it and smashed the door- Knocked it down on her father. Then apologized. After moments of embarrassment and apologizing, they fixed the door and sat down at the round table near the room's window. Two seats. 

King Filsif: "My darling daughter, what made you erupt?"

Aliyah: "You. You keep no leash on those bastard sons of yours! They just breed like rodents! Look at what they did to the Henry triplets! All three got experimented!"

Him: "I am aware of their actions. Have spoken to them, but they are just out of my reach."

Her: "Then do something, you are the King, Father!"

Him: *takes a handful of seeds and spreads them around the table* "First look at these seeds."

Her: "Ok." 

Him: "Look at these seeds. Will they survive the earth's dirt and force?"

Her: "If they are nourished. They will."

I don't see where my old man is gettin' at. He must have lost half sanity by now. 

Him: "Look, I just popped some of them. And they are already growing. Better than the rest actually. The others will grow. But these are better."

Her: "How?"

Him: "I imbued them with power and nourishment so they are better than other seeds."

Her: "Hmm" I think I get where is going now.

Him: "Just like how your nephews are now. Powerful and better nourished."

After a while more of talking, she got up and walked out, slamming the door so hard, it crashed down 2 minutes later. She erupts like a volcano, now I have to fix the damned door!  He thought and with a wave of his hand, two silhouettes of light appeared and fixed the door completely. And vanished after some chores. 

He closed his eyes now, going into meditation. He focused on the bond he had with his daughter and followed it. He reached out to the Flower of her soul and found it ablaze. It made of pure passion. He tried to delve in more and find the source, yet he did not. She detected this attempt of his and send a thunder to him. A subtle warning not to trespass. 

"The old man tried to study me! How dare he." She said and placed her inner-self incognito. Now she was stomping across the hallway, servants and others gawking at her because her yellow hair were shining like molten gold and her skin had gone jade. She stomped down the staircase, and smashed it to pieces with her feet, so flew down instead, using her four-leaf-clover like wings, multi-colored. 

"Aliyah! Come here." Said a sturdy voice full of command. 

"Heck I will." She simply said and opened the main doors, swiftly stomped out and slammed them shut, placed a temporary barrier to lock them as she teleported and flew to Jukesa, then got aboard and blasted back to Platinosa. 

A series of debates happened in the next weeks, between her and her family. She loved Henry with the passion of a Mother. And the conclusion was that he will grow up in the royal-residence of Dubai till he reaches near-puberty. 

Queen Aliyah agreed to that.  In all this, many of her hidden sides were revealed. Her courage, her wisdom, her will. She was no longer the Butterfly-Princess her brothers mocked her as. For too long had she tolerated and kept on her mask of care-free and dumb, yet obedient Queen. 

Now she was the Phoenix of Platinosa. She had power and wisdom alike. The best of combinations, thank goodness. As for Rafael, he divorced her because she wanted to end the relationship. She said she had a vision from GOD Regarding her Soul-Mate, her Muheb. Muheb are spouses bound in romantic-love by GOD Himself. Soul-Mates. 

So she had a new passion now, one that turned out to be the Dawn of a new Life, a new Aliyah.
