CHAPTER ONE

The Passing

The Kingdom of Okynaridu — known for their peaceful means; the giant winged creatures that soar through their skies. Ruled by one family with democratic rules; Aelor Okynaridu was the known founder, with a throne that could be occupied by anyone in the family, Male or female. Their ways were the gentle ways of a noble family — living in a dream of peace. The family was widely known and easily recognized for their striking silver hair and captivating violet eyes; Seen as a sign of beauty from other planets. Yet soon enough, there will only be one.

In the castle; Today, the once bustling halls give no comfort. The king and queen lay suffering and possibly a new ruler must seize the throne. A young girlsat in the soft glow of morning light.Her delicate fingers gently brushed through her silken white hair. Her bright violet eyes sparkled; A pained smile graced on her lips.

Trying to keep the blissful ignorance she had the day before. Yet worry stirred in her chest like a stabbing knife. She parted her hair into three even sections. She weaved the strands together–twisting and turning them. Into one beautiful braid, each movement rid of her weariness.

Yet today; braiding her hair gives no comfort. For her parents lay sick in their chamber. Aerin turned to the doors of her bedroom chambers–the rich wood intricately carved with patterns. Once were bustling halls of the castle loomed an eerie silence; ever since the Queen and king fell ill.

Her violet eyes glanced back to the mirror — feeling tears threatening to form. Then she glanced at an egg on a metal stand — kept safe and preserved. A gift she was born with and was lucky to have. Booming footsteps echoed the hallway. The princess’s head snapped towards the door with a sharp movement. She felt her throat closing up;

feeling her heart drop in her chest. Her once lively violet eyes enlarging in horror. “It’s the king!” One guard bellowed. An upsurge of adrenaline shot through Aerin. She sprung from her chair in a frenzy–tears welled up in her eyes. She rushed out of her chamber; Her face scrunched, breathing quickening in erratic breaths. Running alongthe deserted corridors, her braided hair bounced lightly with each step.

She looked close to tears; her heart agonizingly thumping against her rib cage. Her hands gripping harshly to her skirt. Without updates or news about her parents; Aerin never knew how bad their condition was. She was kept in the dark about everything. Finally reaching the two giant doors; She came to a sudden halt. The wooden doors sprung open, revealing two guards. Her eyes caught attention to a maid — struggling against their hold. “I had no choice,” she yelled.

Aerin moved aside in hasty steps, almost tripping on her dress. Her eyes followed as the maid was dragged away. The echoes of her screams slowly became non-existent; Aerin’s expression scrunched in worry, staring down the hall. She thought of what she meant — is it what Aerin expected? Is it finally her parents’ end? After a moment, her eyes snapped out of her daze. Taking hasty steps into her parents’ chamber. Her eyes were met with a woman sitting up; yet there laid a male next to her unmoving. No life seemed to show within her, causing the princess’s lip quiver. “My love has gone to the afterlife,” the queen started. Beams of sunlight cast upon her; she looked so beautiful, even if she was at the brink of death.

Unlike the king Consort; Her silvery locks were left untied and overflowed down her back. The nightgown she wore laid effortlessly on her. Displaying her pale collarbone from lack of sunlight. Her eyes shone a delicate violet that was lightly void from light. Aerin was born of these very traits; while her father had dark brown hair. “… and I must leave you,” she blurted. Aerin’s world seemed to shut down around her; watching as her mother opposed the tears swelling in her eyes. “Leave me? Mom, no…” Aerin whimpered. Her fingers brushed aside her husband’s brown hair. The mother sighed with a soft smile gracing her lips — feeling a heaviness weigh in her chest. “But… I’m scared..” she murmured. Her violet eyes redirected from her husband to her daughter.

Once her eyes met hers; she saw the overwhelming agony. The pain shining in her eyes. “I’m scared to leave my little flower in this world.. When I know of what her future beholds,” she cried. Aerins’ eyes filled with sadness and confusion; tears brimming in her bright violet eyes. The queen opened her arms, her lip trembling. “I should have told you these things long ago. My baby…” she mourned, tears streaming down her face. Aerin quickly settled into her mother’s embrace, the sound of weeping echoing the chamber. Her arms — Moving in a soothing up-and-down motion, provided comforting friction against Aerin’s back.

“My sweet… sweet girl, the world will bring you so much pain,” she whispered. Aerin didn’t heave her words; lost in her mother’s warm embrace. She felt the warmth slowly fading in her arms. The queen rubbed her face against her daughter’s head. The queen could hear her heart slow in time — knowing her time was soon to be up. Her embrace tightened around the young girl. “My Little Flower… don’t let anyone walk over you. The day you rule. Will bring peace to the planet,” she started. Each word her mother said was a stab in the gut — each clench more painful than the next. If her parents were to pass on; Aerin knew she would be the last. The impossible truth dawned upon Aerin; No… It couldn’t be…

Why would she be the last? What did she know? Just because she felt alone doesn’t mean she would be the last. There has never been a time without the Okynaridu family. The family is as old as the old republic. Her family could be killed like any other human, but the Okynaridu family do not just vanish. She broke from her overwhelming thoughts; glancing into the far distance, listening to her mother’s voice. “The people will love you for eternity.. Speak of your name in remembrance..” She paused; taking a couple of deep breaths. Running her fingers through her daughter’s long white hair.

“You will meet a man..” She paused, a small smile gracing her features. Seeing visions of her daughter’s smiling face; something she craved to see. Her vision flashed — she stood in a sand clearing. Far in front of her, her vision meets Aerin’s back. Standing before an ocean, watching the waves clash with one another. Holding a bundle in her arms. The Queen learned and knew since the start that she couldn’t stay by her daughter’s side in the future. She wasn’t gifted with the dragon egg like her daughter — a chance of rebirth wasn’t an option for her. “Who in a short amount of time will.. Give you so much love…Remember me Aerin…. We may meet in another life,” her voice trailed off. The queen couldn’t speak anymore, feeling her lungs collapse under her. “…but not again in this one,” she choked out. She felt sudden warming bliss overwhelm her body.

Aerin could feel her mother’s warm embrace leave her. The Queen felt as her body went limp, falling back into the sheets. She could see her daughter crying as her vision blurred. A serene smile graced the mother’s lips as the surrounding vision faded into blissful, gentle darkness. Drawing out a peaceful, heavy sigh. “No…” Aerin breathed, tears streaming down her face. She nudged her mother’s body, feeling her body heat. It was cold. “mom..” Aerin wept. Everything felt like everything was clasping over her; she wasn’t able to control her emotions. Her cries were raw and loud as she gripped on her mother’s body. Guards bursted into the room; hearing the piercing shrill cries of the princess. “Someone call for the physician,” One ordered; A young maid who stood at the door bolted away.

Her heels clicking against the stone ground. While the other guard grabbed the hold of the princess, his hold was gentle enough to not hurt her. “Princess, let’s get you back to your chambers,” He said. The guard slowly began pulling her away from the bed — Aerin struggled against his hold, reaching for her mother in desperation. A strangled cry tore through her throat — feeling dread overwhelm her every sense. Feeling the stain of her tears on her cheeks. “My mom,” she sobbed. The guard’s eyebrows furrowed. “I know, I know,” he replied. Gently guiding her out of the chamber; the silent halls still held no comfort. Only the footsteps of her and the guard could be heard. Rushing footsteps passed by them in a blur — towards the parents’ sleeping chambers. Watching as those enormous doors shut closed behind them.

Even if she contested so much — the chapter of her new life was forced upon her with no remorse. She had no choice but to let go of what she hold so dear — she had to let go of her parents. She knew it was almost time for them to join Aelor before the age of fifty. Like every family member did, the curse stayed forever. Feeling her very heart shatter around her; she felt void of emotion. She shut down right then and there. His eyes peered at the princess — his face flushing with worry; showing his aging wrinkles. Their footsteps halted in front of two giant doors. Aerin stepped away from the guard; who worried about her wellbeing. silence overwhelmed them both; there was not even a pin drop. His eyes filled with concern. “My Princess…” he started.

“Please go…” her voice came in a whisper. His eyes slightly widened, seeing the dread take ahold of her. Aerin looked shut down; void of the very smile the kingdom grew to love. She turned from the guard; reaching her arm, opening one giant door. “Princess..” he called. Without a single glance back, she shut it behind her; her arm falling limp to her side. Leaning her back against the door, she slid down to the ground. Overwhelming icy dread began to consume and engulf her emotions; her hands started violently shaking slowly. Refusing to obey her will to stop; she tried to rub her arms for comfort. “Mom” she called; yet nobody answered. Her shaky hands ran through her silver locks; her tongue coating her lips.

Doubt plagued her mind; Aerin doubted her parents’ passing. Maybe when she opens her eyes from a long sleep; she would see her parents alive and well. She would see her mom waking her up with a kiss on the forehead. “Mom,” she whispered, knowing nobody would answer. Tears cascaded down her face; they shone against the sun that radiated through her opened balcony. Her heart shattered like a fragile petal against the wind. She could feel her chest clench in agony; in a haste desperation; she clawed at her chest. Thinking she could stop the overwhelming pain she felt. “No, no, no no…” she chanted. Her eyes met a shadow in front of her. Aerin halted in her movements; eyes filled with confusion, meeting to what seemed to be a young boy. He stood there awkwardly; as if to get his bearings. Seeming to be just as confused as her, his eyes widened; Taking notice of her being aware of his presence.

Her violet eyes studied him, noticing how he was adorned in brown robes. He cleared his throat awkwardly. Yet they couldn’t see each other’s faces; as if it was blurred from their minds. He cleared his throat; while she studied him. Adorned in brown robes; simple and comfortable. Silence fell upon them both; he strolled around the room. Halting in front of the stand — where an egg laid. “Why do you cry?” his voice ranged out. Aerin perked up at the voice; dousing her with comfort. It was soft, like a melody; yet somewhat filled with sadness, just like her. She didn’t know why she trusted him — trusted but a shadow in her room. His hand reached to touch the red egg. “My parents passed on,” she blurted. His hand halted in its movements; turning to her hesitantly. Aerin could tell he was pitying her.

Just by the single halt in his movements was a dead giveaway; he had a heart filled with gold. The boy Shaked his head, a sigh tore through his throat. Deciding to avoid and distract her from the loss; he turned towards her. “Why can’t I see your face?” he asked, causing her brows to furrow. So it was like that for him too; he couldn’t see her. She noticed he could see her surroundings, as if he was in the room himself. “I can’t see you either,” she replied; wiping her eyes. Aerin stood from her spot; the long dress she was adorned in, followed behind her.

“Who are you?” she questioned, her eyes squinting at the boy. He cleared his throat awkwardly; crossing his arms over his chest. “Ben… Ben solo.. But soon, that will not be my name anymore,” he answered. Right in front of her was the son of Han solo; the man a part of the very team who took down the empire. Her violet eyes filled with confusion. “What do you mean? Ive heard of the name Solo. it’s an honorable name to bear,” she replied. He didn’t seem to respond, instead; he vanished from her sigh. Like he was never there to begin with. Yet he didn’t respond; instead, he vanished from her sight. She stood there, her once overwhelming comfort turned to a sense of isolation. Wrapping around her like a suffocating heavy fog; one she can not breathe.

How was she able to see the boy? She pondered to herself. Aerin assumed she was hallucinating, shaking her head in denial. She rubbed her hands against her arms; feeling the familiar chill creeping through her body. Her vision blurred around her. With small striding steps to her giant bed. She flopped onto her bed and laid on her stomach. Her breaths came in quick; panicked gasps, along with her lip quivering. Tears pooling in her violet red eyes. “Mom…Dad” she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. The weight of exhaustion settled in, making her eyelids heavy. Her eyes fluttered to a close, falling into darkness.
