Majesty

Fantasy and romance with a twist. A majestic moment for Raina and Marcus. To love is to live. To live is to lose.

"Majesty" The war of both kingdoms has come to a cease. I can now rest. It's been a while since this land has been so calm. I'm about to fall asleep then he came out of nowhere.

"Raina... Wake up..." he said.

Of course, it's no other than Marcus. "You really are a snot.. Marcus, for not letting me fall into my deep slumber," I uttered.

He grabbed my hand and said, "Let's go, Raina."

Without further hesitations, We ran out from the window of my room to the Garden of Florencia. It's the eternal garden where we first met as youngsters and became the sanctuary for the both of us. The place is so beautiful at night because of the magical fireflies.

I asked him, "What are we here for?"

He just looked at me and answered, "You're eyes are so beautiful."

It will feel weird when you are in my place because he is different. He talks with a pale voice and a straight face. Most don't want to socialize with him because they think that he is cold mannered and arrogant. I've gotten used to him as time passed by.

"Please close your eyes, Raina", he asked.

I closed my eyes without asking or wondering. I felt shivers and chills all over my body.

And then he asked me once more, "Open it now."

What I see in front of me is a true spectacle. The black pavements begin to move as I look around, the shadows dance together with the fireflies, and the garden became more majestic with the dark energy that is overflowing. It brought me to tears.

"Is this what you want to express, Marcus? I get it now," I said it with confidence.

He nodded and then I smiled. Marcus is the only heir of their family and he is the only one eligible for being the strongest black mage of the kingdom. He is left with no choice rather than to take it for the sake of his family's name. But there is a price to pay, he became emotionless in exchange. His emotions were drained as he opresses the use of dark magic. A time has come when the smile on his face can no longer be painted. There are a lot of things that were running in his mind and thoughts worth to be expressed. That wonder he showed me, made me realize how much I really love him. Yeah, this is the Marcus that I loved ever since we are kids. I'm so happy that I reached out for him. I'm so happy to know who Marcus really is. I'm so happy than I can understand him when no one else could.

I hugged him so tight and he whispered, "Thank you, Raina."

Author's Note

A work of my imagination. It signifies both the beauty in darkness and romance with a different kind of blend. Grammar and spellings may be wrong. I embrace constructive criticisms.

With dialogue, it's best to separate them from the rest of the paragraphs--dialogues are in their own paragraphs usually. Additionally, if another character is talking (not the person talking in first person), there is no need to capitalize 'he' and 'she' unless it refers to a deity like God (example: "I like cheese and trains," he said.).

Other than that, I see this being a wonderful story and being simplistic that it is, it gives the story the sense that these two characters credibility for their budding romance since they were children. It's cute in my opinion. I do like it. Also, kumusta from Utah! I'm also Filipino--my family moved to the States long time ago. I don't speak much Tagolog, though. XD
