THE BEGINNING OF TIME
ASTROPE
ANTHENA pov
Sixteen years ago
I strolled in the garden slowly taking in it's beauty and lovely scenery
It's been two years since mother passed on the realm of the dead and being her only child I'm next in line to rule ASTROPE ,the thought of all this was making me feel quesy all because I'll be the first queen to rule with a child at hand
""My lady.... king Arthur is here to see you"""Nina my lady in waiting called from behind me
"""I'll be there in a minute """she simply nodded and left me alone once again . sighing I headed towards the main hall
""There she is.... the most beautiful of all witches"" Arthur was the most amazing man I have ever known and probably the only man.
mother never told me about my father, basically I was never allowed to speak a word about him
""Arthur"" I coaxed and hugged him slightly. He looked at me with love in his eyes then stared at my belly then back at me
"" How you holding up ""
"" Good I guess... lady cleaon says I'll be delivered by full moon and I'm worried""
He pulled my check playfully and helped me sit on his legs
""My darling Anthera I promise you.. I'll be by your side till we have our baby safely i don't care what happens at the end I just want you both to be safe""......
