930 Words
Kyran awoke later in his room alone. He felt different somehow. Like he could do anything in the world, and better than he had felt in his hundred years he had been on earth. He got up in search of everyone, to find out what happened to him. All he remembered was a bright light and then waking up on the floor in front of the roses. He found the family in the dining hall along with Rhea and Earionn. “My son it is good to see you awake.” Ambrogio said with a smile. “Thank you father.” Kyron said as he took the seat next to Rhea. “Kyran we must speak of what happened to you.” announced Earionn. “Yes please go on I'd like to know, all I remember is this bright light and then being on the floor. I can remember images of the roses wilting before my eyes, and a beautiful woman speaking to me about me being the chosen ones, and that the world was now in my hands. I don't know I was probably dreaming.” he laughed. “No my son you were not, that was Amyra, the voice of the roses.”Earionn explained. “She is the form the roses take when they need to communicate with someone. This is the first time anyone has seen her and I suspect it will be the last..” Earionn finished. “What do you mean?” asked Kyran. “Long ago the oracles spoke of a chosen one. Someone that the roses would one day choose to take their place as the keeper of magic. You my son are the chosen one.” He explained smiling. “You mean I now have control of all the magic in the world?” asked Kyran. “Exactly!” stated Earionn. “but child you must learn how to control the magic for it can be very powerful and if used in the wrong way or given to the wrong person it can be very deadly.” he stated seriously. “Can you help me?” asked Kyran. “No I'm sorry but I can't, although there is someone in the kingdom who can.” Earionn said with a smile. “Who?” they all asked in unison. “He is known as Aladore!” Answered Earionn. “You have got to be kidding.” stated Ambrogio. “Absolutely not my king. Aladore is the protector of the roses, and now is your sons protector. He knows that the chosen one would be chosen soon and he would be called upon to teach him how to use and contain his magic. We should call send for him at one your majesty.” Earionn told Ambrogio. “Very Well.” breathed Ambrogio. Ambrogio had his page to send a car for Aladore telling him only that his services were needed at the castle. Ambrogio had known there was something odd about Aladore, he must have been running for King so he could be closer to the roses to protect them. Aladore arrived a short while later, meeting them in the sitting room. He was a handsome man. Stand at at least 6”4 with a 9 o'clock shadow on his face to match his dark hair and even darker eyes, that in some ways made him look evil. He hardly ever spoke to anyone in the kingdom, staying to himself only conversing with the fairies of the forest. “You majesty.” Aladore said in a deep voice. Nunet couldn't believe her eyes. He was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She hadn't gotten to see him during the election, staying mostly with her mother. How she had wished she met him before today. “Aladore my old friend.” Interjected Earionn. “Earionn is has been forever.” smile Aladore. “May I ask why I was summoned to the castle.” Earionn explained what had happen to Kyran, as Aladore seemed to study him. “I assume you seen Amyra?” he asked Kyran. “I did.” He replied. “Please tell me, can you explain what she looks like. I have heard about her for so long and always wanted to know.” he asked. “Of course.” said Kyran. “she looked more like an apparition, or maybe even an angle. She seemed to float in the sky. She had bright white eyes, beautiful full pink lips, and blonde hair that must have been long enough to touch her knees. She was the most majestic creature I've ever seen.” Kyran explained. “You are very lucky to have seen her, you may get glimpses of her again, when of course you truly need her. She may come to you in your dreams, or in visions whatever she chooses.” He told Kyran. “If you plan to get Rhea's body back anytime soon we must start your training.” he commanded. “You must learn how to control your magic, and also to know when someone is worthy to receive it. You will not be like the roses and be able to transfer magic from a touch, you must willingly be able to give it to them.” “This all seems so surreal.” stated Nunet. “Yes my lady it does, but let me tell you it is very real and can be very dangerous.” Aladore said seriously. “Your majesty with your permission I would like to stay at the castle so I may be close to Kyran and we can start his training.” Aladore asked Ambrogio. “Of course Aladore, make yourself at home, and thank you for helping my son.” replied Ambrogio. “Even if I didn't want to.” Aladore laughed. “ I have to obey the roses. I was born with the gift and the knowledge, knowing all my life this day would come. “He explained.
