Chapter 4: What?!
“Y-You’re my p-parents?” Wysteria breathed. Even though it was so sudden, she could just feel that they were telling the truth. The king and queen nodded. “B-But what about Jasmine?”
“Well, we didn’t want you to be all alone in a world you barely know, so we asked Malachi to make sure a close friend came with you. ” The queen replied, giving a warm smile.
“I-I see. ” Wysteria said, still processing that she now had a family of her own.
“Now, come here and give us a hug!” The king said opening his arms wide. Wysteria ran into them gladly. After her father let her go her mother gave her a slightly more gentle hug.
“Would you like to meet your brother?” She asked. Wysteria’s eyes widened, but then she nodded. “Malachi would you go fetch him? He’s probably not asleep yet. ”
“Yes, Madame. ” Malachi said bowing quickly then running out of the library doors, his cloak flowing gently behind him in the non-existent wind.
“While we wait for you brother, if there’s anything you need to ask us just go ahead. ” The queen said smiling kindly.
Wysteria thought for a moment then said “Why did the evil wizard only take me? why not my brother as well? And if he knows I’ve returned won’t he try to kidnap me again?”
“We still aren’t quite sure exactly, but he thought your brother would be harder to manipulate. He was right though, your brother is quite stubborn. ” Replied the queen laughing a bit at the last part. “And no he won’t be back. Malachi sealed him with four magical stones on opposite sides of the kingdom locked away in sealed towers. ” Wysteria nodded in understanding glad that there was no danger in returning.
Jasmine interjected-”Lemme guess, guarded by dragons?”
The Queen sighed“No, not exactly. ”
“So…. am I going to be like a servant or something?” Jasmine asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Of course not! You’re our honored guest since you’re friends with our daughter. ” The king replied.
“And where exactly are we?” Jasmine asked.
“This is the Kingdom of Regenbogen. ” replied the king proudly.
Then the doors swung open to reveal Malachi and a tall, muscular, white-haired boy with eyes almost identical to Wysteria’s who looked about her age. The two of them made eye contact, and almost immediately Wysteria knew that she would like him. The silence was only broken by the king standing up and putting his arm around the boy’s shoulder and leading him over to where Wysteria sat by her mother.
“Son, come meet your twin sister!”the king said proudly.
