The Vision
Snow, that was what the dream had shown her, she was in a place covered with snow, the trees were green and alive but covered with snows the flowers bloom but it was covered in snow, the grass is green but yet again it is covered with snow the sky are grey and the snow is heavily pouring, yet why I the trees and the grass and the flowers are alive? Why is the river nit frozen?
Laughter? She hears laughter! Looking around the place she didn't see anyone but herself, covered in crimson blood from head to toe, only then she realized that there were bodies lying down at her feet, their bloods are slowly re were bodies lying down at her feet, their bloods are slowly covering the white ground.
"Sister?" She heard another voice "Sister, look at me" She knows who owns that voice "Sister over here! Look" She turned around only to come face to face with a giant tree. It's massive and its root are sticking out from the ground, its branches expand to a large portion of the place. In summer it could offer shade, in the dessert it could give relief, but in winter it brings death. The color of its trunk and branches and even its roots and leaves are ash, like the color of when someone is burned to ashes. But it's fruits a weird looking one, it's red as an apple, no perhaps redder than an apple but its shape resembles the pear. What is it? Could it be eaten? To those who are starving, yes it could be eaten, but for those who aren't it can be poison. What is this tree?
She then looks at the ground and noticed a flower sprouting from one of the dead bodies, it is weird one with its color redder than blood and on its middle is a speck of gold, she wanted to pluck it but was distracted when she heard an infant crying. It was as if the cries of the infant are woman who's mourning, why was a new born mourning? Who did it lose? Then the wind whispered in her ears "Forgiveness, it is not easy to give, but when you learn to forgive only then shall love sprout within your heart. And when you let love sprout, only then shall freedom be truly yours"

"There are new flowers in the meadow sister. Please let me go with sir Borington." Lena sighed when her younger sister climbs into her lap to distract her from her duty. Her green eyes were big and innocent, it's like a flower that grows in the middle of a place covered in ashes, her green eyes symbolize life itself.
"Crystal, I can't allow you to go. Father would not agree. You know that." She said running her finger through her sister's long curly white hair "But sister." Her little sister's eyes pleaded with her and Lena could give in at any moment with those green eyes, hers and her sister's eye shape where the same, but the color of her eyes is a darker and fiercer shade while her little sister's eyes is lighter. "No Crystal, and that is final." Her sister pouted at her, it's dangerous to be in the meadow right now so she couldn't allow her to go. But she couldn't help but smile when her sister pouted again, her cute face is enough to make her day, with those chubby cheek and lips that is red as the berry. "Why are you even here?" She asked her "Weren't you supposed to be playing with the other kids?" Her sister shakes her head, her curly white hair following her every movement. "No, they kept calling her me weird because I have white hair and white skin and that I was a cry baby. Am I a cry baby?" Lena frowned, her sister is different from all the pure blood, her and their other sister have raven black hair, while Crystal shocked everyone when her mother brings her to the palace for the first time.
"No, you aren't a cry baby" Her sister grinned and nods her head before she pays attention on the paper scattered on Lena's table. "Are you doing boring stuff again sister?" Lena shakes her head and chuckle at her sister. "This is called paper works." Her sister shakes her head and pointed the papers before looking up at her. " Lysandra and Leo told me it's boring stuff that only you and Father do. Why is that? Was it because you're going to be the future queen?" Lena nods her head at her sister's question. "Leo can't speak he's your pet cat, and yes, it is because I'am the future queen." Her sister was about to speak again when their mother came in." There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere" Their mother walks closer to them and carried her sister. Lena stood up and show courtesy "My Queen" She greeted her mother who gave her a curt nod. "Your father wants us to move in from one of the manors, is everything alright Lena?' Her mother asked keeping her light green eye trained to her, she and Crystal have the same eye color.
"The werewolves are forming alliance against father, even the castle is not safe" Her mother's eyes turned weary "Would you be safe here with your father?" Lena nodded; her gaze fell down upon her sister who was rubbing her eyes that seems to fight her sleep. And then her gaze went back to her mother, the manor in the west is the safest place for them, no one knew about it except about a few members of the family.
