The Knight's Rainbow

The Beginning

Iris's POV:
It all started when I was about six years old...

My mother, Maria, had become extremely ill. At first, we didn't know the problem. Until the symptoms showed.

She started to loose her beauty, and wither away.

You see, a Uala tree is the rarest and most dangerous tree in the entirety of my kingdom. When you take the sap, it becomes a deadly poison.

My mother, was beautiful, inside and out. She had beautiful curly red hair, bright vibrant green eyes, her skin was fair and freckled with lips as red as blood. Her soul, kind and giving, sweet and generous.

Until the poison spread.

She became weak, her hair became stringy, her eyes whitened and paled, and her skin became translucent. She could barely hold her head up on her own.

Because that's what the poison does to you. It first drains your strength, then your beauty, and finally, your life.

When my mother, the Queen, passed, our whole kingdom fell into a depression. Everyone loved my mother. She was a kind and sweet soul who looked out for everyone. Well, my family we're all nice and kind souls.

My father's name is Derick Black. He is tall, with dark brown hair, stubble, and mysterious brown eyes that can peer into your soul.

My little sister, Diana, got my mother's red hair, yet straight like my father's. She has brown eyes that she inherited from our father. She's beautiful and graceful.

I, am not...

I have my father's dark hair, with my mother's curlyness and green eyes. I have tanned skin, and am tall and skinny. Which obviously means I'm an extreme klutz.

I swear I was never made to be a princess. So when I turned 18 and my father disappeared, I was scared shitless. But we're not there yet, so let's keep talking a little bit about my childhood.

So when children are eleven, they start school. I, of course, was included. So when I did start school, I was a bit of an outcast. Everyone knew me as 'Iris, Her Majesty, Princess of Kanatria,' not 'Iris, normal eleven year old.' So yeah, i didn't exactly have a lot of friends. But also, there were a lot of weird things happening around me.

When I was angry, lights went out and trash exploded. When I was excited, people would randomly get extreme good luck around me. It was sunny and nice when I was happy. It was rainy, and dark when I was sad, and random citizens got bad luck.

Of course I kept these suspicious to myself. A princess that could supposedly do magic? They'd burn the castle down.

Until I couldn't...
