The Story of Elastor Crow

Chapter 2

Days passed until it was time for Blaze's choosing ceremony, Where he would choose a wife. Of course, they would have to say yes to him, like normal, And I had a feeling I knew who he'd choose. He would also have to say who would be the next King or Queen if he died.

Daisy and I were dressed in fancy clothing. Daisy, dressed in a black dress with orange flowers, looked elegant. I was dressed in a black and orange suit. Daisy paced the floor. "What if he chooses me? We're gonna get married then! And he's so..tall!" She looked at me. I smiled, trying not to laugh, And she shoved me playfully. "Stop!" She giggled.

"What am I doing?" I asked, laughing at her red face. "You're laughing at me!" She exclaimed.

A guard came in the room. "You two are needed out with the prince," He said. Daisy and I nodded and followed him to a plaza in the middle of the village. There stood ten other girls, not including Daisy, and about 5 guys who want to be king. Blaze stood in the middle and motioned for Daisy and I to stand near him. We went over to him. "I kinda think I know who the next king or queen will be, Cuz I have to announce that first," He explained. Daisy nodded. "Can you tell me?" She asked. Blaze paughed. "Nope." Daisy pretended to look sad but then laughed. The Queen came and stood next to us. "Everyone! May I have your attention please? It is time for my son to choose the king or queen!" She looked at Blaze, who stepped forward. He asked all of the people running for King or queen to step forward and stand in a line. I stood at the end of the line and Blaze started at the opposite end of the line. The first person was a girl. "Why do you want to be queen?" he asked her. "Well, I always wanted to be a queen!"

"Intentions?"

"Make the Pack MUCH better! I Am a fire wolf after all! Not  thunderbirds like those Crow kids!"

Blaze's eyes tightened into a glare and he moved on. One by one he went to every person until he came to me. My nerves started to kick in. "Elastor, Why do you want to be king?" He asked me, Smiling. "Well-I...Um...I want to be king because-Uh-I want to do what's best for everyone?" I said shyly. " And what are your intentions?" He said. "To...Make everyone happy and healthy and like I said before, Do what's best for everyone," I said quietly. He nodded and thanked me, then asked Daisy. Once he finished talking to her, he went over to a council, talking with them quietly. A couple minutes later he stood back up, and my heart jumped in my throat, waiting for his answer. "Now, You may not like me for this, but we have a plan. May I announce your king or queen if my wife and I die, Elastor Crow!" I jumped at hearing my name. Blaze gestured for me to go over to him, and I did, standing next to him. I looked out into the crowd to see Clari, smiling brightly. People clapped. "Now, Over the months I have spent time with my wife candidates, and I have chosen who I will marry." He said. Is it Daisy? I thought to myself. Blaze took a box and looked through the line of girls. Swiftly, he kneeled before someone and opens the box, revealing a wedding ring. "Daisy Crow, Will you be my queen?"
