Chapter 1: The Calling of Fire
Princess Destiny Rose sat on the bench seat in the window of her bedroom. Today was no ordinary day. Today she had to greet her "guest" who had come for the annual Fire Feast. Today she had to act polite to men she thought were plain rude, and women who were so caked with makeup you couldn't tell what they were really supposed to look like. And today her parents, the King and Queen of Firan, insisted that she look for a suitable man for marriage.
Destiny sighed. She knew all of the young men she would have to visit with, and she didn't like one of them. She wished her parents would invite people from other parts of the Division [not set in stone]. They would not, and could not. They wouldn't because it would upset their Elders, and they could not because the people they would invite were not like them. They did not live at the base of a volcanoe, they did not have the power of the same element, Fire. No, the guests Destiny wanted to meet would not come. Those from the Water Region wouldn't, nor those that live in the Air Region. She knew it would be a disater if the Water "Elementals", as the ones 'blessed' with the powers were called, got together with the Fire Elementals. Not everyone had the power of the elemetns though. Only a few in the Division could master either fire,water,earth,or air. Destiny was one of the few. She knew there were others who could use the power of light,ice,plasma,and snow.
A knock sounded on the door,breaking Destiny from her thoughts. "Your Majesty, are you ready?" The voice ot her guard, and friend Flame sounded on the other side of the wood.
Destiny sighed again. "Yes, I'm coming." She stood,went to the door,opening it she stepped out into the hallway. "Alright, Flame. Let's go." She told the guard as she closed the door behind her.
Flame nodded and turned to lead her to the Courtyard.
Destiny continued to think as she followed Flame, she didn't think she would do anything to hurt any of the other Elementals, even Water. She knew several of the other Elementals, and even few of the "nomads" from several of the other Regions. As she neared the Court yard, her parents, adn their guests. Destiny prayed that she would stay calm, so as not to hurt any of the people she would see.
"Sir Kalen." King Aramis greeted the young man. "How are you?"
"I'm fine,Your Majesty, and you look as great as ever." Kalen said. Kalen was one of the other few Fire Elementals.
The King laughed, "Why thank you but we both know I'm not as young, or as small as I once was." He patted his belly, which was not very large. "Why don't you talk to Destiny while I catch up with your father." Aramis motioned to Destiny who stood by his side.
"I would love to."Kalen smiled at Destiny as he stpped over to her. "Your highness." He bowed.
"Hello, Kalen." Destiny greeted.
"Why don't we go out on the balcony, away from this crowd?" Kalen winked at her.
"Alright." Destiny let him lead the way out to the balcony. They stood looking out at the city. Ember glowed with all the lanters. Flame took his usual spot several feet behind the Princess. "Thankyou, for saying that to my Father. I tell him almost everyday that he is as small as he needs to be." Destiny said.
"You're welcome, and he does look young. How old is he?" Kalen leaned on the railing.
"Forty-years old." Destiny replied.
"He looks about thirty-five." Kalen looked at her. "You look very pretty tonight, Princess."
Destiny smiled. "Thank you." She thought she head Flame mutter somthing.
"Way prettier than ano other girl in the fire region. Or the Divsion. Those water girls are as ugly as rats." Kalen made a face of distate.
Destiny's eyes burned. "I highly doubt that, Sir.Kalen. How would you now anyway?" She hissed.
"I have seen them. I went with my father to the Water Regions Capital Aquarius a few months ago." Kalen causaly said. "Their Princess is the ugliest one of all." He knew he was making her mad.
Destiny knew it too. "Flame." She spoke the guards name, he stepped forward.
"Yes, Princess?" Flame had his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Please, take Sir. Kalen back inside." Destiny ordered. " I'll come behind you."
"Yes, m'lady." Flame moved in between Kalen and Destiny. "Go on, Kalen." He told the man.
Kalen's eyes burned at Flame before he turned and walked back inside the castle. Flame lead Destiny inside as well.
"I am sorry." Flame apologized.
"It is alright." Destiny told him. "Kalen is a pig." She said.
Flame smiled.
They came up beside the Kind who was talking to Kalens' father, Lord Steren.
"Yes, Destiny loves testing her powers." The Kind was saying. He turned to his daughter. "Would you have a duel with Sir.Kalen, dear?" He asked.
"If you want me to, Father." Destiny replied, her blazing eyes showed her true answer.
"Where is Kalen?" Steren looked around for his son.
"Here I am, Father." Kalen stepped up to them.
"Ah, yes. His Majesty, has said for you and the Princess to duel." Steren explained.
