Querencia World Book 2: The Princess that Tamed the Villain

Chapter 15 Ruininki’s Journal

The moment I start to ponder about Ruininki’s intention as I witness Lady Annie outrage and feel my twin sister Siana agony that is time I open Ruininki’s journal and read it.

I go to my bed and flip the cover as my eyes trails in the first written words.

To you my dearest,

I know in time this journal will be in your hand, as expected you will be curious in the history of your Kingdom. By this time I know you find a way to sneak into the Elder’s house to have this journal in your very hand. Is my twin brother Kenenkie’s journal interest you too. You read it, I’m certain you do.

You and I are pieces of a puzzle, meant to mold in each other as we fulfill our mission.

You’re excited, right? To know the reasons I’m trapped in the Forbidden Forest

Let me tell my story first, I’m Ruininki the twin brother of Kenenkie.

We are so different, a lot about him I don’t understand, he is meticulous, detailed, precise and he is good at everything.

How can I explain this, Kenenkie he is an ace in everything he does.

Kenenkie is smart, a doer, and never a complainer while I’m not the opposite of him but also not the same.

The thing about Kenenkie is I have the same talent and mind he has but he is much favored probably for the reason he listens well.

Kenenkie is pissed and mad jealous when my parents giving me what I demand to them like toys and games when we're younger and to say that I'm pleased seeing him jealous, I will never lie.

I demand I become destructive when I didn’t get what I want. I like the feeling that my parents are anxious giving in what I want and diminishing Kenenkie’s feelings.

Yes, I feel I can manipulate my parents in that kind of attitude. I easily get what I want, they easily give in when I get problematic.

They give what I want to shut me up and be in the corner of the room, be busy with the things I demand to have.

I easily get bored so I destroyed those things and demand another again for the reason the moment I set in the corner and silently busy in the things they give me.

They shower Kenenkie’s love and praises that they never give to me.

Kenenkie is a good son, someone they can be proud of and I’m feeling less to be always compared to him.

I don’t believe he can do things best than I can do, the thing that interests him doesn’t interest me.

The thing that interests me is not supported and like by my parents.

They support Kenenkie’s one hundred percent for it can give them money and riches and upgrade our status.

I love arts, my drawing and paintings win a grand prize in the University competition.

Kenenkie asks me to design for the company he works in. I made one design for him; he never asks a favor and for once he does so I did without hesitation only to find out he use my design to present in his company and made it as intricate fine jewelry.

I don’t mind but the thing that pained my heart he never credits me as his designer, he made the jewelry from my design and take me out of the picture.

I talk to Kenenkie and he apologize he said he forgot to write my name and give me credits that he is excited to present the finished work. He promises me he will correct the credits. I smile at him and believe him.

I let the time flies as the time of the Kenenkie’s jewelry designs exhibit held in their company. I came to see his design and name engrave with it but to my disappointment, my name wasn’t there.

Kenenkie startled that I was there, he talk to me privately and explain he tries to speak to his boss but he is not hearing him out, busy in their jewelry project launch for the day.

I nod, I try to let it slide but the vicious part of me hold my grudges within me, Kenenkie’s has an image for everyone he doesn’t want to be tainted. I sigh.

Years pass by as I continue to be problematic one between the two of us, my parents never find the things I do amusing.

One time, Kenenkie’s is finding inspiration from his new design, he always goes to Wondrous Dreamy Land and goes home late.

My parents even if we are an adult is worry over him. I go home late but they never like that they treat Kenenkie differently.

I’m favored in material things but Kenenkie is supported by them in all means and terms which I envied.

I kept it all inside when my mother is asleep on the couch waiting for his favorite son to comes home. I can’t help but shake my head, get a blanket, and cover her.

My father is outside the veranda waiting for him, I know where he goes to the Wondrous Dreamy Land once again, I don’t know what that place has.

I made a joke to my father that Kenenkie is seeing a woman and will get married without us knowing and be gone.

My father yelled at me and said don’t spill nonsense, he orders me to find him and I go to the Wondrous Dreamy Land which is close already.

I don’t know the reason my feet carry me there; I don’t have any way to goes in but to break in the doors or windows. It is not the first time for me to do I done that many times but at my own expense. I break down in some stores and sneak in and get things I want, stealing. I don’t care. If someone caught me I told them my name is Kenenkie and he will be alarm and bail me out and clear his name. That will always be fun for me.

But this time I don’t want to break some doors and windows, my feet lead me in a different path. There is this vacant unfinished building near the Wondrous Dreamy Land. Many avoid that place for the reason it is rumored haunted.

I get more excited I enter the place, my heart skips in excitement for I don’t understand the reason.

I get in further in the abandoned unfinished building. I see a big tree that almost shaded by it leaves the big part of the building. That tree seems like a century-old tree for its size.

It is beautiful, it is the only thing that made the place alive and not appears scary, that tree flows life to this lifeless place. The moon illuminating to its leaves and branches calms me.

I raise my hand and look at my reflection under the moon, it amazes as I can see some visible floating energy in my hand. I rub my eyes, thinking if I'm hallucinating.

I open my eyes wide and see the transparent waves all over my body, it is a dark shade of blue. It is amazing.

I’m curious I thought maybe I’m dreaming, I try to walk if the energy envelope me will be gone but it wasn’t.

I smell a stinky strong sense, I turn around and see purple flowers everywhere;

My vision becomes blurry, I’m walking wobbly, I step my feet when there is circular motion energy that surrounds me as I continue to struggle walking, feeling dizzy. I lost consciousness.

I open my eyes and a beautiful woman appears in front of me, It might be a dream.

“Are you alright Kenenkie?” A sweet voice asks

My eyes widen they call me in a different name, my twin brother's name.

The beautiful woman wearing strange clothes stare at me with a concerned face “I’m worried about you Kenenkie, You said you’re going home”.

I’m confused, my mind is baffled, I don’t know where am I or who are they.

My eyes roam around the whole area, it is a place I never been before.

My eyes widen as I behold the splendid beauty of nature, I breathe deeply.

They call me Kenenkie and I want to put up the show but to my surprise, my twin brother appears and startled that I’m here in this unknown place.

Kenenkie asks me bewildered “how did you get here?”

I honestly answer “the circular transparent Passage I enter there”

The gorgeous Queen shocked that I and Kenenkie look the same.

Kenenkie turns to the pretty Lady and explains “were identical twin”, he finally introduces me

“He is Ruininki, my twin brother” Kenenkie seems not to please to introduce me.

The guy with a booming voice, the beautiful Queen, and my twin brother discussed.

They all turn to me when the talk is over and explain to me everything that I’m in the Querencia Kingdom, another World were only chosen Gifted from Atracia City can pass through the Passage and comes here.

We are twins and it means we are both Gifted and can enter the Passage, the man with a booming voice named “Master Arruis” the one speaking to me.

At last, the beautiful Lady has introduced to me her name is “Princess Leonor”

I don’t remember very well where Passage I enter to get here, I find out Kenenkie’s Passage is in the Wondrous Dreamy Land not in the unfinished abandoned building, it puzzles me but I decide to get quiet about it.

Timepass by as I and my twin brother enter the Querencia Kingdom as we please, the citizens know us and treat us kindly. We act like locals when we're there.

Princess Leonor is also the Gifted, she can enter the Passage and act as a normal citizen in Atracia City, she goes to University and study.

Princess Leonor has a mansion in Atracia and has a massive riches and wealth, she is gaining knowledge from our World that she shares in her Kingdom.

I and Kenenkie are Gifted too but the difference is we walk in Querencia like peasants, no riches. We bowed and follow orders from the Elders and Royals.

Being Gifted is not special after all but my twin brother enjoys being in this place, I can sense that he loves someone else in this place.

One time I go to Kenenkie's room and found very detailed intricate jewelry that he design, my eyes brighten as I see how splendid it is.

Kenenkie's design this on his own, I know he is good but this design is something else; it’s amazing. The one design he snatches from me I know he doesn’t mean to take the credits from me.

Kenenkie can do things if he put his mind on it, it’s possible for him, he can be good at everything with proper practice which I envied.

Kenenkie is dedicated at that time and I think he has some great inspiration in creating that jewelry.

He is surprised to find me there, he acknowledges my presence but keeps doing what he is doing; he is so consumed.

I never seen Kenenkie like that, I knew one thing we are twins and we are connected; I know there is someone that occupying Kenenkie’s mind and heart.

We are twins, after all, he talks to me one time and asks me about the jewelry design if it is beautiful and if it’s good.

I honestly give my remarks and said it is done very well, very detailed, precise and the design is beautiful.

Kenenkie’s eyes brim in happiness, I’m aware there is someone behind his remarkable work as an inspiration.

I ask him “isn’t for someone?” and he answers me without a doubt and with an excited tone “yes”.

I’m aware it's for Princess Leonor the woman he adores but I don't voice it out. 

I know by that time Kenenkie is in trouble.
