Prologue
Asphyrro's POV
"NO!" that's the first thing I heard as the King announced my banishment in the Kingdom. I didn't even know who, screamed it, all I can think about is how am I going to survive in the forest.
"Father! You can't do that!" screamed my friend, Trevor.
"I can and I will!" the King shouted back at his son.
I looked around the room we are in, to see pity faces, some disgusted, but most is sad. I cannot blame them, most people here are my friends. And most of them knew this is the only home I have, or should I say I had now?
"I will leave" I spoke as I stood in the chair I was sitting on,
"I will leave tomorrow mo-"
"No!" the King shouted, which made me stop what I was saying, he saw me looking at him so he gave me a glare and continued, "you will leave in an hour, I don't want such a disgrace in my Kingdom!" he announce again in such a Kingly manner,
Note the sarcasm.
Believe me he isn't that Kingly.
"What?! No he will leave tomorrow! You already banished him from his home! Make him time to say goodbye!" Trev shouted, I can already see tears in his eyes.
"No, he wil-" Trev cut off the Kings sentence again.
"No, Ronald, he will leave tomorrow!" Trev said.
"You are not the King in her-"
"I may not be King but you aren't the heir of the throne, remember what Mother said, you may be the King of the Kingdom, but you will never interfere my decisions, and my decision is Asphyrro will leave tomorrow! And that's final." Trev said, sternly to his father. The King only replied with a huff and walks out of the room without a word.
Trevor looks at me with glossy eyes then ran to me. "I am sorry Phyrro, I cannot let you stay, it isn't in my power yet" he sobs, as he hugged me.
"Its okay Trev, you tried" I told him, as I hugged him back.
"If I get the throne, he will be exiled in the Kingdom!" he exclaimed as he hugged me back.
"Trev" I told him ij a voice of warning but he just hugged me tighter. I patted his back
"I have to start packing things Trev" I told him. Surprisingly he let go, "I'll help you!" he exclaimed, as he grabbed my hand and we ran out of the Palace.

When we reached my home I was met with another two tight hug.
"News travel fast huh?" I told them as I hugged my brothers.
"I am in the palace when the King announced in Phyrro" Tiana, my brothers wife, told me as she smiled sadly as both my brother's spoke
"We will come with you, I onl-" I stopped them both.
"No Aiden, Aiven, the Kingdom needs both of you, so stay and please, I know you both are twins but stop saying things at the same time, you know I get goosebumps if you do it" I told them, and smiled when I heard them chuckle a bit.
"I still hate your father Trev" told Aiden.
"Don't worry, I hate him too" Trev replied, and I rolled my eyes at them.
"I still can't believe he will banish you just because you like man than a woman" Aiven told me.
I just smiled sadly, "We can't change a someone's point of view Aiv, they're close minded people, we can't change that" I paused, "Anyways, I have to pack my things, and some stuffs especially I will be living in the wild for a while" I told them and they all nodded.

We spend all night packing things I know I needed, and when we are done we slept.
As morning came I double checked every bag I had and foods that will last atleast a week.
I hugged everyone before I put my things on Vinny, my horse, saddle then I climb in them.
"Promise me you will be safe?" Trev said as he petted Vinny.
"I will" I told them as we started walking towards the Kingdom gates.
"Remember, I will send you letters if I find a village, and I will stay there for the meantime and see if I fit then you can send me letters back, okay?" I reminded them and I received nods.
"I love you, we will miss you" Aiven said.
"I love you all too, I have to go, the King have ears everywhere" I told them and they nodded again, we reached the gate and I smiled sadly again, looking back at the palace. I remembered something.
"Trev?" I called him as I looked behind me, "Remember what your mother said before she died?" I asked as he nodded, "Forgive the people who hurt you, don't hate them, love them, that's what she said" he replied.
I smiled sadly, "Then forgive your father Trev, he did make a mistake, but mistakes are meant to be forgiven" I told him, and he nodded.
I told them my goodbyes and I was off.
