Price Of Love

Werewolves. Those puny creatures have no respect what so ever. They prance around thinking they are the most powerful creatures ever created. But I tell you now that we Fae's are the most powerful creatures ever created.

In our world there are five categories of supernatural creatures, first we have the Lycan's, they are powerful in strength and brutality, then we have the vampire's, they are powerful in intelligence and also brutality, then we have the witches, they are powerful in magic and sorcery, then we have the Almighty werewolves (note the sarcasm) they are powerful in there anger issues and being fools.

And last but definitely not least, we have the Fae's, we are powerful in intelligence, magic, strength and sometimes pride. But can you blame us, we have the strongest kingdom even Lycan's ask for our advice and even help. So you can't blame us for being a little proud, right.

Our kingdom is divided into three sections, The West Wing, The South Wing and The North Wing. As you can guess, The West Wing is the richest section in the Fae kingdom, The South Wing is the second richest and finally The North Wing is the poorest section in our Kingdom.

And that is the section I was unfortunately born into, The North Wing to be precise. Those of us in The North Wing are very unfortunate, we have to go hungry and thirsty because we don't even have enough food to feed a baby. We sometimes have to steal some food from The West Wing just to survive but the unfortunate one's that were caught, were thought a very harsh lesson.

And by harsh lesson I mean they were chained to a tree and flogged with silver whips till there backs would bleed, it was a horrible sight.

But what can we do, we are suffering here, but our King, King Ares, doesn't even care, all he cares about is waging war against the werewolves. He doesn't even want to help us. I'm just wondering the day that all this will come to an end, when will that be?.

"Daydreaming again Lheati?" Came the voice of my grandmother.

"I'm just wondering when this suffering will just finally end" I whispered, still looking out of my bedroom window at the yellow sun that lit up the sky.

"Lheati my child, look at me" My grandmother put her arms on both of my shoulders, making me look at her beautiful face. In the human world my grandmother is over ninety years old but Fae's age a lot slower than humans, my grandmother over 623  years old but she still looks like she's in her early thirties.

"Things will change, it just needs a little more time okay" She smiled softly. I really don't like talking about this but I lost my parents over 20 years ago because of King Ares. Apparently King Ares took an interest in my mother and by interest in mean he wanted to make her his concubine, but she was already married to my father at that time so she refused him, but King Ares got so furious about being rejected that he beheaded my father and had my mother flogged to death.

My mother had already given birth to me at that time so my grandmother decided to raise me herself.

"When will that be grandmother?" I whispered once again.

"Soon my child, soon" She said absentmindedly staring at the yellow sun just like I was a moment ago. My grandmother is a very wise woman, she always thinks far ahead and that is one of the things I love about her.

"By the way, why are you back so early I thought you went to the market" I asked, a little surprised. My grandmother never came back this early before.

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you the market was closed down today" She explained. What? Why?.

"Why?" I voiced out my thoughts.

"Because apparently King Ares is making an announcement today for all the female Fae's" She said. All the female Fae's?, announcement?, what the heck is going on?.

As soon as that thought passed my head we both heard the deafening sound of the golden gong being beaten.

I looked at my grandmother for an explanation but she shrugged, I'm guessing she doesn't know anything.

"Attention, Attention, this is a direct message from King Ares, all the female Fae's of this Kingdom should report to the palace garden immediately" Came the loud hoarse voice of a palace guard, through the mega phone. Why does King Ares wanna see only the female Fae's?.

"You'll have to go there to find out" My grandmother suddenly said. She can answer my questions even without me saying them out loud, she understands me so well.

"Do I really have to go there" I'm feeling uneasy about going to the palace especially when my parents killer will also be very much present there.

"Lheati you have to go, disobeying the Kings orders means death, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable you still have to go" My grandmother advised me. She's right, she's always right.

All us female Fae's got to the palace garden in no less than 30 minutes. The palace garden is big enough to accommodate a water dragon, and those things are huge. Even the palace itself is big enough to accommodate a water dragon and still have more than enough space left. I've never entered the palace before but judging by how huge it is from the outside then I'm guessing that's the case.

The palace is a very tall building, made out of pure gold, it is said that the rubies they used to design the palace walls was gotten directly from a female Basilisk, and those things are very hard to find in our kingdom. You world have to travel to the witch territory to even find one. And the witches do not take very kindly to trespassers, especially Fae folk.

"Welcome all" I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the voice of the one and only King Ares. I'm really starting to regret coming here.

"I have invited you all here for a suggestion" King Ares continued. You know it pains me to look at the killer of my parents still enjoying his life while I'm still suffering. King Ares is no less than 500 years old but he's still as young as ever. No crows feet, no strand of gray hair in sight. It just pains me you know.

"As you all know I, King Ares of the Fae Kingdom am going to wag war against those puny werewolves who think they are better than us. They have done so many horrible things to us over the past 100 years and now  we must put an end to it" Its true though, once the werewolves burnt all our crops, their was famine in our land for years before we managed to grow our crops back again. The werewolves are horrible creatures.

"So that is why I'm suggesting that all you females of our kingdom will fight along side our males when we wage war against the werewolves" King Ares said, looking at us expectantly. What the hell does he want us to say?, he wants all of us to fight in the war as well.

"I can see you all are in momentary shock so that is why I will give you all some time to think about it, is that good?" He asked.

"Yes your Majesty" All of us said at the same time. He wants all of us females to fight in the war as well, this has never happened in the Fae kingdom, ever. It has always been the male Fae's that fight in the war, they have always regarded us females as the weaker creation so that's why we have never fought in wars before. But why does King Ares want us to fight now?. I mean he has the males to do that for him, I just don't get it.

So what do you guys think?. Are the females going to agree or not?.
