I woke up the next morning to the early morning sun pouring into my chambers. Finally a night without dreams. I felt so refreshed. There was a slight knock at the door. It opened slightly and a most welcoming voice trailed through.
" - Good Morning Majesty" Dark said. I could just imagine the big smile that probably had spread across his face.
" - Good Morning Dark. I shall be ready in a few minutes" I said as I rushed all around trying to gather what I wanted to wear for today's adventure.
" - No worries Majesty take your time. I shall be out in the hall waiting for you" he said closing the door. I decided on a light green gown that appeared modest enough but showed my curves in all the right places. I quickly swept up my hair and headed to the outer doors. I swung the door wide did a little twirl and said
" - How do I look?". My smile washed from my face as I felt my cheeks begin to blush. Apparently Dark was not alone. Dark began to laugh as B1 gave a low bow.
" - Lovely as ever my queen" he said with a laugh.
" - I am so sorry Majesty I invited B1 to come with us to the library. He knows most of the history of Defy. I hope you are not angry with me?" Dark said. I could not be mad at Dark for long. I rushed forward and grabbed both of their arms and said,
" - I am very pleased to have 2 of the most handsome escorts in all the realms" I said with pride. The worry washed from both their faces and they donned their most handsome of smiles.
" - Shall we" B1 said and we headed off to the west wing. The massive door to the library was very impressive. It was all trimmed in gold. The center depicted 4 founders and the large castle. The surrounding panels depicted various scenes but one in particular caught my eye. It was of a tall virile man with his arms wrapped around a very beautiful mage and in her arms was a baby.I returned my attention to B1 and asked him about the panel.
" - The panel you ask of my queen was a time when Defy was the most happy of places to live. The woman shown was your mother Lady Feira and yes the baby is you. This was Mysterio's most cherished moment. Mysterio was a good man and a great leader. He loved your mother more than himself. He wanted to give her and you a safe and happy home. He managed to to keep you hidden for the first 3 months of your life, but the mages as cunning as they are found both of you. The day they took both of you away they not only took Mysterio's heart they took his magic as well. It devastated him and changed him. He cursed them that they would all die by the hand of one of their own one day. You my Queen will be the one to destroy them and give your father his revenge." B1 said. I could see tiny glimmers of tears as he tried to hold them back. I placed my hand on B1 arm.
" - I will kill them for destroying my parents happiness. I will destroy what they have built for trying to control me." I said with rage. I tried to calm myself as i pushed the large doors open. The library was magnificent. There were books covering from the ceiling to the floor. Above the large mantle of the fireplace hung a painting of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Her Fiery red hair framed her face in cascading waves and her lush green eyes reminded me of something I had seen before. It was as if I was staring back at myself. I was hoping memories of my mother would flood back to me but none came to mind. It was if some invisible force was suppressing them back. Another portrait behind the grand desk stared back at me. A very handsome distinguished man with golden brown locks. My heart stopped a beat. It can't be. Fate could not be this cruel. The face staring back at me was Mordok's but many years older. If what I think is true that would make Mordok my half brother. My heart sank. I could feel the rage boiling inside of me did the mages know when they bonded us ?Is Mordok aware of our relationship? I would destroy them all!
