The Five: Elementals

19

After I spoke to Arina she sent out a message and summoned prince max to the castle, apparently he is to be spending the night at the castle for the coronation tomorrow...funn

It hasn't even been thirty minutes and somehow I already regret my decision but a part of me knows I'm doing the right thing. No matter how damn hard it may be.

A muscle in my jaw ticks before I use my magic to change into my workout clothes and make my way to the training room.

The first person I see is of course Ryan and although he is acting as if he is okay I can see the shattered remains of his heart.

Tearing my gaze away from him I make my way outside to the outdoor training room and ready myself to run a few miles around the track.

As I'm adjusting my pants a buzzing like noise pulls me from my thoughts and I swat at the fly harassing me.

Although it doesn't give up and even has the AUDACITY to land on my arm, without a seconds hesitation it was on the ground dead.

"Fuckin hate bugs" I mumble before taking off around the track, and just like before my athletic ability kicked in and I once again felt free.

I let all my thoughts subside and just continued to run not even breaking out in a sweat despite the sweltering sun.

I hadn't realized I was being watched until someone cleared there throat, I stopped my final lap half way and found the culprit.

Riley.

She did not just interrupt my blissful moment, sighing I make my way over to her "yes Riley"

She looked at me then back to the track surrounding the enormous tourney field before sighing "your celestial Prince has arrived"

I nod in understanding and make my way back to the training room where everyone else was waiting and where I found Prince Max.

He was just standing there and everyone was looking at as if he was some kind of alien.

"Everyone" I say upon entering and making my way to Max's side.

"This is Prince Max from the angel court, he will be joining us in our coronation tomorrow" I say letting my eyes fall on Ryan momentarily before looking away not giving myself enough time to decipher his emotions.

And I honestly was grateful for Alexis grabbing his hand in comfort at this moment.

"Why?" Danielle asks looking agitated.

"Oh, you must be Danielle of the mer people" Max says and even I'm surprised he knows her name and obviously she is too.

"How do you know me?" She asks.

"I know all of you, you guys are the elementals and the future kings and queens of the enchanted forest, why would I not know you all?" I smile content that Max knows his stuff.

"There's my king Ryan, Drake the alpha, the Phoenix leader Greg, princess Amiyah of the fae court and lastly princess Aaliyah" he says sending me a wink and I just smile.

"That still doesn't answer why your here" Amiyah says and I'm a bit surprised by her outburst.

"My apologies, I am to marry princess Aaliyah after the coronation" everyone was solent, I guess even shocked and when I tell you it took everything in me to not look at Ryan.

The first person to speak was drake and he of all things laughed "never would have foreseen this day"he chuckles "that Aaliyah would get herself a man!" I roll my eyes at him not finding this in the slightest amusing.
