Unknown Rivalry

The Region

I saw the people of house of Vespera, they are enchanting with those balls of water they play with their hands. They are like the divine cleanser of the region. They are calm but fierce in nature. Theyre like a ticking bomb that will explode once triggered. Yara has too much patience for Loric I must say. The people that gets to bond with water are called water elementals. They can make anything out of water, even a sharp knife that can kill you is possible but opposing to that is the power that house of Stormvein, Loric’s people. They hold the power of lightning and thunder but wielding it with water will cause destruction that is why it is better to combine that have this two contradict with its people.

Loric being engaged to Yara is a nice thing. But their story is not mine to tell.

Beside the people of House Vespera are the people of the house of Stormvein. They are in harmony with the water elementals that the imperial family don’t have to worry about the two houses. Despite the power they hold, the are very kind and get along well to anyone in the region, except the two heirs of the houses.

Our house of Frostwarden holds the power that is unusual. Frosting someone to death is prohibited unless they are an enemy to the region. The one that was bind to us was the house of Elowen. I can frost something just by looking at it, and even by holding to my consent. That’s why I rarely look at someone truly. Loric and Yara are to my consent that’s why I can look at them freely.

The House of Elowen’s heir are nowhere to be found but their people in the North are still waiting for her return. They don’t want to move their people in Grandeux without the heirs consent. Northern people are known to be loyal and trust their head of the house greatly. With their househead’s reputation, theyre trusted to be with them no matter what happens. Their people wielding fire makes them poweful just beneath the imperial family. The heir needs to be found.

The other houses of the region holds power but not powerful enough, but still included to the High Society base on other aspects.

The Imperial Family are the most powerful house in the region possessing different powers from different houses and even some have two powers. A power like that are being feared and avoided. The enemy want them vanished as no house family are like them. No magic, enchantment or power will ever be like them.

What did I do? Am I dead already?

I was awakened from a deep sleep and don’t even know where i am. I'm still wearing her dress but it was all torn and shabby. I triy to get up but my attempt fails as I felt the stinging cut in the side of my head.

Does the Katana have poison in it? And Who helped me?

I roamed my eyes around the room and it seems like im in the village of the ordinary people.

People with purple eyes are no ordinary.

I saw a lady enter the room carrying a clothes which I thought was for me.

“Change your dress with this. I wash this clothes and this are still new.” She looked beautiful with those purple eyes, shes fair white and have a pointy nose.

This people are not ordinary!

She went out to let me change my clothes. I know what’s ordinary to them- their clothes!

I went out and saw their backyards like an ordinary villager should have.

“My mother works for the Imperial Family, she brought you out and brings you here” she said. I looked at her carefully, shes stunningly beautiful.

Lord Caiden will surely like her.

“Was I poisoned?” I asked her. I was stunned when she looks at me with those purple eyes.

“Are you a fire elemental?” she fired back.

Oh I forgot I got an almost-maroon colored eyes. But she didn’t ask if the heir of the house of Elowen, right?

“Yes” I answered with no hesitation.

She was about to ask more but a noise caught our attention as it approaches the village.

“It was an army of the house of Frostwarden!” she alarmed me. “Did you intrude to a secret room in their house? “ Aria cant understand her until she remembered.

“The Poison!”

I almost forgot, but are they looking for me because of the secret room or they already know.

After our family are the House of Frostwarden that are being trusted by the Imperial Family. Do they already know?

"I'm sorry i have to go. I think my family is already looking for me. Please don't tell the army of House Frostwarden that a fire elemental was here!" She was confused but she never said anything and just let me leave.

I saw a river and walk down the stream to get away from them.

I forgot to ask what poisons me.

I scan from where i reach the area. I can go back there if i want to but i have to wait for the armies of House Frostwarden to leave. It might take a while for that to happen. I seek refuge behind the trees, and saw a big rock with a cave. I walk near it and search to area for dangerous animals.

I've been doing this for fifteen years already another trouble won't stop me. Once i ensure that it is safe i search the area for food.

I wish i can reach out to Caiden, he'll definitely help me once i told him my situation. I lost contact from him a year ago and i didn't know what happened. Caius can't be harmed as he is the heir to the House of Smith. they're not as powerful like us but he's wealthy enough to help me.

I woke up feeling very hungry but i have to go back. I need to enter as an ordinary person in the Imperial Family. That beautiful lady's mcan surely help me.

I reach their house and the sun already rises. The young lady was startled upon seeing me. Maybe she's thinking that i won't ever go back here again knowing im a fire elemental.

"I need your mother's help. I want her to help me enter and work for the Imperial Family" i pleaded upon talking to her.

"My lady, it's dangerous inside the palace, you will never survive there. I can tell that you never did anything hard all your life, you don't belong there." If only you knew.

"It's okay! I will endure it. I'll do whatever it takes to go inside. Please let me talk to your mother."

She sighed wearily with my nagging.

"Okay but let's just wait for to rest after coming back from work. Mother works so hard in the palace that it makes her dead tired when she come home." I nodded patiently and waits until dinner to finally talk to the young lady's mother.

"You cannot enter the palace. They are strict and have many rules for someone before entering and work for the Imperial Family" she said angrily. I think i was wrong for coming here. I needed to think of other ways to enter the Imperial Family. I went out kf the house and walk silently at the yard. I shouldn't be feelinng this way.

"Be my daughter." I turn my head and sow the young lady's mother.

"If you want to enter the Imperial Family you have to be my daugter" I was startled, but what does she mean?
