Kinlanture Vol I: The Kingdom of Forgotten Misfits (Completed)

Prologue

    It was dark. I could see the stars hanging above my head, the light from them seemed so faint, but so beautiful. Flowers were everywhere. The colours were hard to see but I could carefully make out the blurry shades that seemed to shine in the moon light.

    "Roses are the most beautiful flower... Yet... I believe you could easily make a rose look dreadful in comparison."

    Her cheeks felt warm as she turned to face the voice. All dressed in white, with blonde hair and bright green eyes, she met a man. His face was masculine, but he had a soft look to him that made him seem so gentle. He was taller than her and thin, yet still, he had a soul to him that made you feel his strength.

    He smiled, holding out a black rose that glittered in the starlight. His smile was sweet, and she couldn't look away. She didn't want to look away.

    "Flower girl, may I call you Claire?"

    She looked at him puzzled. What did he call her? And why?

    She starred at him dumbfounded, wondering where she was and why she was there. The ground was covered with flowers and the sky.... It looked different than it usually does.

    As for him, she never seen anyone like him before. Not just the overwhelming sensation she felt from him, but he was different. On his forehead, she saw something. It was a scar that was shaped like a rose.

    "Are you okay?"

    His soft voice was enough to make her realize he was talking to her. She looked up into his eyes and felt her face flush with warmth.

    He smiled and slowly moved closer to her.

    She looked down. She could feel him getting closer and she tried to remain calm, but her heart pounded against her chest. She never felt like this before.

    What is going on? I don't know him... but.... I feel like I...

    She felt his hand under her chin. Gently, he raised her head to meet his eyes. That small smile still shown on his face.

    "The flower princess... The love of my life..."

    Her body felt weak as his face moved closer to hers. She could feel his breath on her lips, making them quiver.

    "No one could ever be more perfect for me than you..."

    Her eyes gently closed and his lips gently pressed onto hers...
