In the year 4040, the United States was divided into 6 different kingdoms. Region 6: Callista, Region 5: Asterope, Region 4: Ezra, Region 3: Recherché, Region 2: Weston and Region 1: Exiled.
Each kingdom has their own king and royal protectors who are in charge of monitoring the magic used in the kingdom and keeping the kingdom safe. Callista is ruled by King Erin Hendrix with a total of 200 royal protectors.
On July 1st, 4041, to babies entered the world at the same time. King Erin and Queen Belle greeted a baby boy, while Royal Protector Davis Harlow and his 1st wife Cassie greeted a baby girl. Feeling that they were born for each other, the Queen and King requested an arrange marriage for the newly born kids. Both babies were the pride and joy of their household and were given the best of everything.
On March 23rd, 4041, Davis’s 5th wife Isabel gave birth to twins, one girl and one boy. Davis was so happy to have his first boy that he showered his 5th wife with gifts. Isabel became arrogant and began to cause problems for the other wives. The 3rd wife Claire lost Davis’s trust and was kicked out after love letters from Isabel’ second brother Edward was found in her jewelry box and Edward declared that he was in love with her. The 4th wife Selena was kicked out after the cook reported to Davis that she asked him to add poison to the twins food. The 2nd wife Tara face was ruined by forbidden magic and she was forced to cover her face and could never bring herself to face Davis, so she left to live with her family while they tried to find a cure.
Isabel decided to use Tara’s situation to get rid of the beloved 1st wife Cassie. While in bed with Davis, she convinced him that Tara offended Cassie and Cassie hired someone to use forbidden magic. Isabel told Davis that on the night of the accident, she saw Cassie let in someone cloaked in black and the person entered Tara’s room before the accident. Davis did not believe this information and said he has known Cassie since they were kids and she would never do something like that and kicked Isabel out the room in rage. Isabel was so upset that steam was coming from her head.
The next morning, the king’s personal guard came to deliver a message and requested that Davis and Cassie come to the Palace to speak with him. Once Davis and Cassie arrived, the King and Queen were in the middle of a heated argument.
Queen Belle: How can you accept what she says as fact! We grew up with Cassie and Davis, she would never do this!
King Erin: You are letting your emotions cloud your judgement! The evidence all point to Cassie! How can we over look the use of forbidden magic because she was our friend!
Queen Belle looks at Erin in disbelief: Was??? How quick you turn against someone who has been there for you! I’m sure if it was me, you would throw me away too!
King Erin: (Erin reaches for Belle’s hand) That’s....
Erin noticed that Davis and Cassie entered the room. Belle runs to Cassie and hugs her and says “I’ll do all that I can to save you! I believe that you are innocent.”
Cassie looked at Belle in confusion: What’s going on?
Erin: (Signal to his guards) Take the Queen away, she is too emotional and should not be here.
Belle looks at the King with hate and anger in her eyes: “Take the Queen away”!?! How dare you treat me like a kid! You’ll regret treating your wife and friends this way when you have no one by your side!
Belle stormed out of the room. Erin sits on the throne and sighs.
Erin: I brought you hear today to discuss a matter. Guards, arrest Cassie and make her kneel to receive her punishment.
Davis: What are you doing! Have you lost your mind! Let go of her!
Cassie: Erin! What is the meaning of this!
Erin: Cassie I hereby charge you with the charge of using forbidden magic and sentence you to exile!
Cassie: What! I would never use forbidden magic! Why are you accusing me of a crime I didn’t commit without asking me about it or investigating?
Davis: Say it clearly! Where do you get off arresting and charging my wife for a crime that she did not commit?
Erin: Where you ask? Bring him in!
The guards brought in a man with multiple scars on his face. He looks up and sees Cassie and tries to run to her.
Man: I’m sorry, I never meant to give you up. They threatened my family! I’m sorry, I’m sorry!
Erin: Isabel notified me that forbidden magic was used in your house.
Davis: I talked to you about this before. I said that I was investigating it.
Erin: Isabel told me that you suspected that Cassie was the one that hired someone to use forbidden magic on Cassie, but you didn’t want to believe, so you decided to cover it up.
Cassie looked at Davis in disbelief: You suspected that I would do something so evil to Tara! I loved Tara like my own sister! How could you suspect me!
Davis: No, that’s not true....
Erin interrupts: Don’t bother denying it, this man has already confessed to everything and provided all the proof we need. There were messages being sent back and forward between you and him planning the attack.
Cassie: I’ve never sent messages to this man. I’ve never meet this man in my life. You have to believe me, I’m being setup.
Erin: The decision has already been decided. On the count of us being friends for so long and Davis not being apart of the crime, I will not punish the household. The marriage agreement between our kids are still valid!
Cassie: You can’t, I’ll never get to see Star again!
Isabel walks in: Cassie, because you were nice to me all these years, I will look after Cassie and raise her like my own.
Cassie: It you!!! You set me up you greedy b****! You got rid of everyone else and now you are trying to get rid of me!
Isabel: Davis, how can you let her talk to me like that, I offered to take care of Star out the kindness of my heart and she treats me like this! I only told the King because I knew that you would let your love for her cloud your judgment. I couldn’t sleep at night knowing that someone broke the law and used forbidden magic. I’m sorry Cassie.
Erin: Isabel, you did nothing wrong. You shouldn’t apologize for her crime.
Cassie: What! My crime? You believe her!
Erin: The evidence speaks for itself!
Cassie: I want the marriage between our kids called off! I would never let my daughter marry someone whose father is so disloyal and backstabbing! Like the saying goes “Like father, like son”
Davis: Cassie, you are being unreasonable! Apologize now!
Cassie: Apologize!? You’re taken their side? I have been nothing but good to you Davis! And Erin, I almost died for you and you believe the words of that scheming b**** and her lying henchmen! I will never forgive any of you!
Davis: Cassie!
Cassie: When you find out the truth, there will be nothing that you could say that will make me forgive you! If I die while exiled, my blood will be on your hand and you all will have to explain it to Star! For here on, you all are dead to me! I will find a way to escape and I will take Star away and kill that deceitful b**** Isabel!
Erin raised his hand and something shot out like lightning towards Cassie. She fell to the ground unconscious, but still breathing.
Erin: Prepare the transport portal to Exiled. Notify them that we will send her tomorrow.
Guard: Yes, your majesty.
Davis stood speechless in the same spot staring as they dragged Cassie away!
Davis: This can’t be...this can’t be. It makes no sense.
Isabel: Come with me, let’s go home and get some rest. You suffered from a shock.
Isabel leads Davis to the portal and return home.
Cassie walked on the beach towards the water with to guards following behind her. This beach is the same beach she would come and send time with Star at. Memories of holding Star in her arms as she walked across the beach.
Star: Will I ever see you again?
Tears started to fall from Cassie’s eyes as she reach the water and began to walk in. The transportation portal to Exiled was setup in the middle of the water as an added punishment for criminals. During the transportation, you will feel pressure on you body and water entering your body. You will experience the feeling of drowning for 15 minutes, but won’t die. Then you will be transferred to a tube filled with water in Exiled, until someone let’s you out.
Cassie swam to the center of the water until she felt something latch on to her body, preventing her from moving. She stayed still for a moment and stared at the people on shore with sad eyes, until her eyes landed on a 10 year old girl with tears in her eyes. She mouthed to the girl, “I love you”’and was pulled under water, never to resurface.
Davis stared at the water for hours not moving. Isabel tried to convince him to come home, but he wouldn’t move and just threw her hands off him. Erin tried to convince him to go home, but he couldn’t bring himself to leave.
Davis turned to Erin: You took something from me that I can never replace. I understand that you made the decision as the King, but you failed me as a friend. For now on, we will only be King and subordinate.
Erin: Davis...
Davis bowed: This subordinate will take his leave. Goodnight King Erin.
——————
Two year later.
Isabel: Star... where are you?(Isabel walks in the kitchen)
Star sitting at the table eating breakfast.
Isabel: Why are you so mean to the twins?
Star: I just woke up and came down for breakfast, I haven’t seen the twins at all today.
Davis walks in the kitchen: What happen?
Isabel walks to Davis and wraps here arm around his with tears in her eyes.
Isabel: Darren (boy twin) wanted Star to come out and play with him, but Star got upset and cast a itching spell on him.
Darren: Dad! It’s really itchy! No matter how much I scratch it won’t stop itching. It hurts so much. Wahhhh wahhhh
Isabel: How can you be so evil. He only want to play with his sister. You should pity your brother and indulge him sometimes. The twins are not as lucky as you and still haven’t activated their magic yet.
Davis waved his hand and Darren felt relief instantly.
Davis: Is this true Star?
Star: No! I really didn’t see him today.
Daisy(girl twin): You’re lying Star! Not only did I see you, but the maid seen you too.
Davis: Sara, is that true?
Sara (maid): Yes Sir, I didn’t say anything because I was scared that Star would play tricks on me again.
Isabel: Love, you must do something about her behavior! I tried to raise her like my own daughter, but she doesn’t listen to me.
Davis: Star, go to your room, I’m sealing your magic for a week as punishment.
Star: But
Davis: No excuses, go to your room now!
Darren and Daisy looked at Star with grins on their face.
Isabel: Dear, she’s 12 now, I think you should send her to behavior school in Asterope. I hear they have the best staff for magic and kids with behavior issues. I also have several close friends and family there.
Davis: I can’t just send her away, she was separated from her mother at an early age, so it’s understandable that she will have some issues.
Isabel was so angry that she balled her fist behind her back and squeezed until blood started to drip: You’re right! She needs here family more than ever now.
