Sammual Rhester sat with is student, a young enchantress in training,under a tree outside when the news reached him. One of the paiges from the innerkingdoms ran wildly about screaming frantically. The paige was young and obviously didn't know how to deliver the news himself. He ran up toward Sammual out of breath and with a distressed look upon his tired face.
"Master Rhester!"the paige took a deep breath, "Master Rhester, where is High Master Stain?!" Before the young mage could answer the paige said, "Princess Tosia of the Richrod Kingdom is dead!" "Dead!" the student spoke after watching the insane antics of the paige. "Shhh, Calemine!" Sammual scolded, "Go to your room", she gave him a pleading look, but he wouldn't have it. "Go, now!" She then gave a smile knowing that she tried, picked up her books and ran off.
"Master Rhester?" the paige was calming down taking in gulps of air. Sammual answered the young man, "High Master Stain would be in his study-" before he could finish the paige had run off.
Sammual let himself fall onto the grass. The back of his head made contact with the ground whith a soft thud. For a moment he lay on his back staring up into the light blue sky his mind blank. He let the message soak in and let out a sigh. The princess was dead, it had started. He had known it would becoming, but not so soon. There would be a war the prophicies told so and he didn't feel ready for it.
He had just graduated to become a high rank in the Society of Magifolk and mentor to Calemine Stain all to his father's pleasure. Inwardly young Sammual rebelled and he became engrossed with the Book of Midnight Dust (tales of dark prophicies), but he kept that secret only to himself and Calemine. Sammual slowly ran his hand through his long black bangs. "I knew this would happen..."he spoke in a whisper although no one was around, "that book...that ---- book!" Even before the Book of Midnight Dust Sammual had always had an affinity for the darker side, his thoughts always depressed and his feelings swamped by shadows of the mind. Now he knew what was going to happen and he struggled on which side he would take.
His hazel eyes darted to the side and he quickly sat up. Calemine walked up to her teacher. He watched her approach and didn't stop himself from gazing at her sliky auburn hair, fair skin and motion of her strides. His dark bangs feel across his light eyes and once again he moved them back over his ear. "Sammual?" she asked. "Master Rhester", he corrected. "Master Rhester", she said slowly, "are you alright?" He stared at her light brown eyes and watched her innocents float in the color of soft chocolate. He couldn't stop from feeling the way he did about her and he looked away.
"Let it go..." he mumbled to himself,"she's five years younger...innocent...and I'm..." He was interupted by her hand touching his shoulder. "What are you saying?" she asked confused. "What's wrong? Do you want me to kill someone? Because, I'll do it" she was smiling now, joking. "No, no Calemine it's alright..."he felt a smile appear upon his face. "Are you sure, becasue I'll stick a shoe up their nose and then pull out all their hair and sell it to a hag for stew".
Sammual was laughing now as Calemine sat beside him his dark thoughts drifting away. Sammual's black hair feel over his face again and he pushed it back. He looked to Calemine his lovely student and thought about the time she tripped Kyle Towsen, a rival student in her class, because he mocked a fairy leaf. Sammual couldn't understad how she could stay with him. Her beauty was only amplified by her modesty and good nautre and humor. His previous disturbing thoughts of darkness and misery seemed to be pushed away, and he was frightened by it. Standing up Sammual Rhester walked away confused from Calemine and her feelings of warmth.
Jakinon the servant and secret lover of Princess Tosia awoke chained to dungeon wall. His whole body ached and dried, crusted blood from wounds over his body made him feel stiff. He felt dizzy and the pounding inside his head grew into a thunder. His vision was blurred, but he could make out the shaky visual of someone walking towards him...
