Fall of the Fire Kingdom

The wedding preperations

People push and pulled her, tightly rapping measuring tapes around her and cursing when she wouldn't stay still. She huffed never had Blaze thought she could be so uncomfortable in her life. The women left her to make the dress her mother had chosen which was sure to be beautiful. But Blaze couldn't bring herself to love the occasion. She was being married off to one of the least caring people in the world just to stop a war. The volcanic ground in the room flared and growled and she walked towards the door. The quicker this was over with the better off she'd be.

She slammed the door behind her and came face to face with a young woman of the castle flames at the tips of her hair. She looked in a foul mood. She was the same height as Blaze but lacked her posture and authority.

"You don't deserve him!" She screamed at Blaze her flames growing "He'd be better off without you, you ungrateful spoilt brat!"

Blaze stood in front of the girl in surprise she must be talking about Prince Light who else could it be? Although Blaze wouldn't care if an angry mob was yelling at her she had to stand her ground, mustering her angriest voice she yelled back.

"Don't dare speak to me in that tone I'm sorry but if I do not wish to marry someone I do not love than that is my business. If you wish to interject in our marriage than be my guest but take it up with my father because I will not stand here and be yelled at by you!"

Blaze stormed off satisfied that she'd shut her up. Hopefully she won't try that again or she'll have the royal guards to deal with. Blaze walked along the castle halls, the familiar rout leading to her bedroom. When she had finally reached her room Blaze collapsed into her fire bed the soft flames pressing against her pained back. This wedding was going to be the death of her and all that knew of Prince Lights true nature knew it. Suddenly a maid entered her chambers holding a silver platter with a daisy sandwich, a slice of apple pie and a glass of water.

"Thankyou" Blaze smiled at the maid as she exited the room.

Blaze pushed her desk out on to the balcony and ate dinner lunch, the apple pie was warm and soft with the nice crunch of the pastry. After she ate she thought about the legends the townsfolk spoke of. The ones of there possibly being a lost brother of the castle but it seemed so foolish. If there was she'd track him down and ask for his hand in marriage to unite the kingdoms.

Blaze finished her dinner and collapsed into her bed once again. Her eyes growing heavy she imagined the days to come and fell into a deep sleep.
