 It's been a year since I last saw them...
I have been told, they're alright!

 But I can't help but to wonder.
They are alive, that I know
the guards show me videos of them, when my pain becomes intolerable.
My mother's health was frail and my brother is just a boy.

 I wonder if he cries at night, under the moons,
I wonder if I'll ever have his dirty little face in front of me...
I want to stroke his hair playfully...
Oh boy! he does not like that,
he would always say -"I'm not a child Aira! I am a man now, Please don't mess my hair up..."
- then he would give me silly smile.

 I wonder if I will ever hear my mother's blessing.
I wonder too much, I am nothing but a bucket of questions.

 I am a privileged prisoner,
I  come and go as I please in this forsaken fortress,
but out of it's gates I'm not permitted.

 This used to be such a wonderful place,
With the princess's laughter,
the queen's songs and the king ever loving  heart,
and Saphyr... So beautiful was our prince.

I used to day dream of this place, to be leaning on it's columns, like I am today.
I used to close my eyes and imagine the prince's lips on mine after  we felt to the ground
running around the palace gardens.

I was a dreamer and often I dreamt myself in his arms gently covered by his wings.

Here I am and I'm not dreaming,
here I am and I don't want to be.
Those days are gone now, this place is now dark.
The center of our destruction and there is no prince to save me
from this dark enemy, that has fixed his eyes on me.

I can not love him,
even if his face is beauty it self,
his heart is dark, he knows not love.
He can only take.

Today is a year since my mother's life was spared,
in exchange for my freedom.
Today is the final day of my preparations.

I will be married to him, the one that oppress us all,
When the moons make their presence on our skies,
to be the witnesses of my despair,
tonight stars will fall as the universe itself shivers in sadness,
Tonight, clouds will cry uncontrollably as they witness my nuptial incarceration.
The sun will momentarily freeze with the cold in my groom's heart.

No one can save me, our fire it's been reduced to ashes,
our former fiery city will be dress with the winter from far places,
my cup is filled with sour wine and I shall drink of it tonight.

The people from the far regions will hear my cries
but they will remain silenced as I gain a heartless husband and l lose my last hope!

How could I ever scape this towers, this walls?

The saddest thing is that my people despise me because they
think I have chosen this fate, out of love for him.
There is hatred in their eyes as they see me standing next to him.
I am despised amongst those that I love most! 

  Today is to them, my final betrayal to our people,
today is to me the beginning of a new life,
A new life that I did not chose to go in
but I shall give a gift to myself,
"the promise of freedom  wrapped in papers of courage."

I will be free as it will be my city...!




A continuation to Aira's story line from here Devastation( 1 )
"The air was still, everyone was quiet with terror.
 The smell of burned buildings and decaying flesh was all around us,
there was nothing that I had experienced in my life that would have prepared me for this.
Our beautiful city in ruins, our king hanged at the top of a tower in some kind of crystal,
as a perpetual  remainder of our impending doom.
No one saw what happened to the Queen after that terrible ceremony in which she was made
to watch, the hanging of her lifeless King,
 as a trophy for their victory over Brenton city, over all of Phoenix.
Our beloved prince was said to have perished in battle the day of the invasion,
and our wild little princess... no one knew about her.
Rumors where that she had scape with the Guardian, other said that, that was unlikely,
because Adar's race never interfere in this kind of disasters.
 That is how they had existed for millions of year, leaving their hosting planet when doom arrives,
