Royal Pain

Many years passed since Planet Earth had been run by humans.

We call them aliens. They like to call themselves Creqeoan, from the planet Creqeo.

They looked so much like humans but many were quick to point out their flaws.

"Don't look them in the eyes too long!" People would say, for their eyes were a tarnished yellow. Rumor was they could pierce into your soul and you would be forever bound to them, crushed by them.

"Don't touch their skin!" Others would murmur, for their veins pulsed bright blue and they would burn into you, leaving marks of coal.

Never had the two species, Human and the Creqeoan, ever crossed paths for too long. They were too busy hating each other. Their world was plagued by war and destruction.

"Keep fighting!" Humans would yell and protest. "This is our land!"

But as the population rates grew smaller, it was time to find peace.

King Damian who was Creqeoan was growing ill by the day. It was time he gave up his throne and the world he ruled over to his eldest son, Prince Vincent.

The Prince was going to be a King.

And the King can't run without his Queen.

The King had one request before he died.

"Bring peace to our two species."

He wanted his son to get married. To a human.

Hopefully he wasn't too much of a royal pain.
