~~~(POV: 1st Princess of The Elven Kingdom, Olisandra Oryzox)~~~

~~~(Location: Palace Bedroom, Capital City Greshina)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:55 PM)~~~

The council has been meeting every day for the last 2 weeks... Time has felt like it's been moving faster and faster for me. These days are passing like sand does in an hourglass. "What do you think their decision is? They're really considering war with all the races..." My Sister, Bezikel Oryzox, shares a bedroom with me. We've been together for as long as I can remember.

Staying in the same room now that we're adults doesn't bother either of us. My question has stopped my younger sister mid brush stroke. She looks into the mirror with a solemn look. Our mother and the leaders of our Kingdom have begun to make more and more rash decisions. Obsessing for power and control on a larger scale...

I'll admit it's started to scare me, and I'm worried about the mental health of my mother. Bezikel is in the same state I'm in, and that's one of fear. I've been considering something... Something drastic... "I fear that they've all lost their minds... It's becoming unsafe for us... The pressure on our shoulders is rising..." One of us is expected to seduce Slayer Zern when he's found...

I initially thought it was possible, but having opened my eyes and taken a step back... I see now this is all for naught, and the elven people are doomed if we continue this madness. "What do you think about running away, Blezikel... Getting away from all this chaos and taking a stand in the rebellion..." For years, there has been a rebellion, but they haven't made any ground.

If we help them, offer assistance and information in exchange for asylum... Then we'll have a safe place to stay... "We both know that mother will tear the entire Kingdom apart looking for us... The only people that'd get hurt are the ones who don't deserve it. The poor and mix bloods..." We don't share the same racist stances as the rest of the nobility and royalty...

There are no other terms to describe elves of mixed heritage... My mother is someone I love very dearly, but over the last 200 years, she's really changed... Hurt so many innocent people... "What are we supposed to do then? If we stay here, I fear that a worse fate awaits us..." Blezikel stands up from the mirror and makes her way over to me.

She lays on the bed, and we both stare at the window above our bed. The stars are out, and it's lighting up the room. We don't need candles or magic at night. The stars are bright enough to keep our room lit. "How do you think we can do it... It'd be impossible without the help of someone powerful... Someone that can get us out here..." She's right about that... We need help...

Blezikel and I wouldn't know anyone that could get us out of the palace grounds without someone from the guards knowing. Let alone Grrshina... "Mom would always tell us story's of the secret passageways underneath the palace... Do you think we could find and use them to get out..." My sister stays quiet at my suggestion.

Olisandra has a good idea, but it's not perfect... The only way we're getting out of this city is entirely undetected and in one fell swoop. We have to be gone before they even realize we're gone. "Yeah, I remember... She said an entrance at the lowest part of the palace will lead outside the walls..." I remember that day... It was one of the worst days of our lives...

If we are doing this, we need to do it as soon as possible. We're both powerful and can hold our own against any regular person we encounter. We'll need to hide our identities... Blend in somehow... "So? What do you think? Should we run for it when we get the chance or stay..." She wants to leave. I can hear it in her voice... I want to leave too.

I turn my head and look at her. "Yeah, we'll prepare in the following days. First, we need to find that passageway, after that. We can gather our things and get as far away as we can as fast as we can. It's not the best plan, but it's our only option right now..." She nods her head in agreement, and that means we've decided... We're running away from this collapsing society...

We've been together for so long. She's only a year older than I am. I don't think I could live without my sister. "For now, let's act normally and show no signs we up to anything. If we've learned anything from mom, it's how to lie and how to get our way." She's crafty like that, and she's right in taking this approach... If anyone assumes something is up, we could be caught.

It's getting late now, and I'm starting to get tired from this exhausting day. "Do you think our Kingdom will ever heal... Be something more than it already is... I'd love to see a change... One for the better..." My question is more profound than a yes or no answer, and it's constantly on my mind. Olisandra would think the same as me...

She takes a deep breath and releases a long sigh. "I don't think we'll ever be more than what we already are... Our entire nobility and royalty system needs to be burned down and rebuilt from the ashes... That'd take more than just a few people... It'd take everyone... Something the elven people can't do..." A sad reality... Better to fade into the black than die in the rain of blood coming for us...

Sally rests next to me on the furs of our tent, and I can't sleep... Not after telling Hailey the truth... Some of the things I've kept hidden... She reacted the way I thought she would... She hasn't spoken a word to me since then... "You need to sleep, Cera... I can tell you're still awake..." Sally hardly stops my train of thought...

Hailey must be going over what I said... The things that I've revealed and the reality of her future... Old future, that is... She's not ending up like that this time. "My mind is poisoning my soul right now... I can't stop thinking about all the bad things that have happened in my life..." The words come from my mouth without my thinking...

Sally raises her head and looks at me in confusion, and I know why. I don't say things like that... Not usually... "You're really lost in your head... Sometimes, sharing helps... You can tell me what's bothering you..." No, not yet... After we're done with The Elven Kingdom and Sally gets her revenge, and we change this country for the better...

Changing The Elven Kingdom wouldn't work with ordinary people. We're not a group of ordinary people, which will help us in this endeavor.

How could I do something like that... How could I become some whore who sells her body for drugs... Was being an actress that important to me... Was it that important that I'd have rather have no life at all... Jasmine is softly snoring to my left, but I'm not sleeping tonight... I'd still be crying if my tears weren't dried out from all the crying I've already done...
