Insight
A young male, no older than 21 sprinting out of his Garden and to his secret spot which was a lake, through a hole in the bushes. He froze like a deer in the headlights and smirks to himself. He bursted into particles in seconds…multicoloured particles. They moved with the wind as quick as lightning and swirled around the second figure.
A girl.
The particles joined and formed the human boy. “Lovely to see you here, my darling” he spoke. Millions of words were exchanged through the boy’s worried look and the girls streaming tears.
“W-why are you here?” the girl asked
“Because you wanted me to be.”
“But I didn’t ask f-”, “I know you didn’t… but I could feel it.”
The girl was no older than 19 and as pretty as a diamond with the scent of a rose. “Why are you crying?” the male asked, his tall figure towering hers. His hand now on her cheek, gently wiping the drops of salty water from her eyes.“Y-your highness, I-” she began, but stopping suddenly, due to his emotions displayed through his facial expression
“I thought I told you to stop calling me that…My name is Caleb, not your majesty” he growled nicely. Indeed, he tried to sound nice, he tried to calm down, but the words that seeped through her mouth caused the memories to rush through out his head, spin like a storm and come to life in quick flashes again.
“I…I’m sorry, but we can’t” she said, “I-i-it’s not right…”
Her retreating figure left him feeling lonely, but again, he split and his coloured particles quickly surrounded the girl, spinning around her and joined again. The blue particles were the representation of his soul that he had left, the green, purple, yellow and orange ones were a representation of his personality, the white for his magic… and the red ones,representing his beating heart that yearned for her.
“My love, do not do this again” he begged.
“No! I-i….It’s Vetitum Magicae, it’s f-”, “Forbidden magic” he ended
“Exactly…”. She began leaving once again, only to be stopped by the hands of her lover, which grabbed her wrist and spun her around, leaving her in his arms.
“You are right my love, everyone knows about the rule. A Leaphine, a male royal can only ask for a high class female’s hand in marriage, nothing lower than a-”
“Canarphine, a Status…which is what I am”
“~No way! I didn’t know that~” he spoke with sarcasm.
“Caleb! You’re royalty! A R-”, “A Regium! I know.”
With a sigh, she continued speaking, “Every child born was made to know the different status and who the royals can marry” she stated, “Yes…especially the royal children themselves” Caleb added
“Let me go” she spoke, trying to end the conversation. She already knew how it was going to end
“My love, listen” he started
“No! Caleb, I don’t want to listen to anymore of this!”
“Alria!” he yelled, making her figure trembled, “Just listen to me”. “What?!”
“My parents…They’ve agreed to change it,” he smiled, “…the law”
The sadness in Alria’s eyes disappeared so suddenly that she herself was confused. “T-the law, as in…”
“Yes, My love. And they’ve chosen to seal it with a spell”
“No way…impossible!”
“Yes! I’m being serious, my dear”
“T-then…that means it’s going to be-”, “Yes, a grounded golden law which can not be changed.” Caleb finished, “not ever”
“Wow, it’s going to be a new golden rule! No more had been added in centuries!” Alria smiled. She was about to continue, but Caleb pressed his body against hers, lips together and sealing their love.
Vetitum Magicae is forbidden magic
Forbidden magic is forbidden love
The only way this can be broken is not by magic, but something greater
Overcoming the challenges with hope
Defeat the danger with bravery
Have faith, emotions are much stronger than what is most used today
Faith is born from love
Here you can’t fight magic with magic
