There was a place similar to the heavens. It was called the above kingdom. Everyone lived there, had powers and white wings, and that kingdom was ruled by Arturio Jelo. He had ten daughters and one son,

One of his daugters was known for her beauty, kindness, and she is the goddess of kindness and wisdom, her name was Maria Mystique, the eleventh daughter, and she is the wises and beautiful of them all,

as she was known by her beauty, many men in the kingdom fall in love with her at first sight,

but uncertainly, she has no interest in them. One morning, filled with light and excitement,

Mystique and her nine sisters were having a bath at the lake. Her sisters enjoyed the time bathing, but Mystique was in a deep with her thoughts,

her second older sister sprinkled her with water, "Why are you in a deep of your thoughts? Asked his older sister, Arumi, the second daughter,

"It's nothing, my sister. It's just that," said Mystique, who can't speak up continuesly,

"Cat, got your tongue?" teasely said her seventh older sister, Helena, she came to her,

Mystique lowered her head till the water reached her lips and made bubbles,

her sisters made a slight chuckle upon seeing her being cute,

"Our young sister seems stressed about her beauty as usual," said Helena, "you should be proud of it, our Mystique, you have more suitors than us," said Arumi.

Mystique rolled her eyes upon hearing their advice, but she started to get annoyed at the men. They were madly in love with her. Whenever she went, every man followed her.

Her beauty is a cursed rather than a blessing, "they didn't know what I have been suffering," said Mystique in mind as she watched her sister having a splendid time,

she has a garden of red roses, every afternoon she went there to visit them, and that garden is only for her, no one could trespass in that garden as it was made for her,

"How are my beautiful roses?" asked Mystique in an intimate way of speaking. She touches them with pure love and affection,

then a dove came to her with a letter on its beak, the dove fly down into her shoulder,

"Hi there, is there something you want?" said Mystique, greeting the dove. She saw the letter on its beak, and she took it, and the dove flies away,

she watched the dove flying away before reading the letter,

"Mystique someone was looking for outside the palace," said in the letter, Mystique rolled her eyes upon knowing another man to suit her outside the palace,

"Can they make me rest even a second, sheshh.." said Mystique, annoyed, and she stood up and left the garden.

She opened the door of the palace and saw Rafaelus, the strongest and handsome man in the kingdom,

Mystique keeps her serious face upon seeing him. They walk at the riverside of the kingdom,

it was silence, only the voice of nature can be heard,

Rafaelus looked at her, and he began finding some flowers at the ground,

he found some beautiful peonies, and he picked them up, and he gained his confidence to give it to them,

"Ummm...Mystique, can we stop for a moment?" asked Rafaelus, breaking the silence, Mystique stopped as Rafaelus ordered,

he then showed her the peonies he picked for her. He extended his hands to give her,

Mystique began to sneeze as Rafaelus extended his hands to give her the peonies.

"Stop Rafaelus," ordered Mystique. She showed him her palm as a stop sign, "I think, I'm allergic to peonies," said Mystique, realising as she didn't stop snezzing

she can't bear anymore, she ran away and went back to the palace without saying goodbye to her, Rafaelus throw the peonies out of frustration,

"I'm sorry...Mystique I didn't know, you have...Theres no point of shouting, she couldn't hear me," said Rafaelus, disappointed,

At the palace.

Mystique was in her room feeling sick as she was allergic to peonies. She sat on her bed, and her sister rushed to see her condition,

her sister, Amadeus, the first daughter, sat beside her and held her hand as she was the goodness of healing. She heals sick people in the kingdom,

"I didn't know that you're allergic with peonies," suprisely said Helene, the twin sister of Helena, Mystique burst into anger, and she suprisely opened her wings,

"Ohh...calm down my sister, he didn't make it on purpose, he just didn't know that you have allergy," said Weules, the eight sister.

"So.. you're not going to attend the light festival, since you're sick," said Genosia, the sixth sister,

"You don't have hope with our oldest sister, are you? She is the goddess of healing, I'm sure, she can heal her," said Reonies, the fifth sister,

then suddenly Mystique turned green, everyone was in shock and in the same worried about her, her sisters began to panicked,

Mystique lay down in bed, feeling weaken, "our oldest, what happened to Mystique?" asked Jemaria, the fourth sister.

"I don't know, but I think that...she sniff not a peonie pollen rather than a wild flower that lookes as a peonie," replied Amadeus,

"What do you mean?" confused Jemaria. "I need to find brother...I need some cure from him, I can't heal her.." said Amadeus and rushed to find the tenth sibling,

the other sisters went to Mystique to comfort her, Jemaria tucked her in while Reonies striking her hair,

"I hope you will be cured, my sister," said Reonies, worried about her. Many hours later, Amadeus came back with Falvoius, in her side. The only son and the tenth sibling, he is known by her bravest and kindness, and he is known by his herbs,

Falvois sat down on Mystique's bed, grabbed his herb medicine, and he maded for her,

he made Mystique drink it even if she's sleeping, Mystique coughed a little because of the sour taste.

"Well..our sister got a pollen of Gewones flower, known to be a deceive peonie, I didn't know that Gewones grown here," said Falvois,

"Thanks brother..We hope that she will be alot better," gratefully said Helena, "don't worry..she didn't got poison or whatever..she just sniff a pollen that makes her weaken and turn green, sooner or later, she will be okay.." said Falvois,

Meanwhile, Rafaelus was at the riverside, with his brother, Yenuper, the god of waters,

Yenuper was sitting at a branch of a tree above him. He noticed Rafaelus being gloomy as he played the water with his hands.

Yenuper decided to tease him, he uses his powers to make a wave and throw at him,

he laughed loudly, seeing Rafaelus soaked with water, he stoped laughing when he noticed Rafaelus wasn't mad or annoyed like he used to do,

"Somethings bother you? You always hate when I tease. Now you seem to let it be.." said Yenuper,

"It's just.. Mystique," replied Rafaelus, Yenuper went down from the tree and went to him, "What about her?" asked Yenuper.

"Well.. I gave her peonies, and I didn't know that she was allergic to it," said Rafaelus disappointed, he bend his head out of disappointment,

"You didn't mean it Rafaelus, it was just an accident, and you just show her your affection, you feel. How about you send her an apologised letter, as you feel sorry for her," Comforting Yenuper,

Rafaelus looked at Yenuper. Upon hearing his recommendation about sending her a letter of apologize,

It was midnight, and Mystique woke up her uncouncious, she gradually opened her eyes and slowly got up.

She saw her four sisters sleeping at the side of the bed while the rest was sleeping on the couch and on the floor,

she gently smiled, seeing how they were worried, concerned, and caring about her. She saw a beautiful full moon at her balcony,

she went to her balcony, she silently tiptoed to go there, as she didn't want her sisters to wake up,

she got on the balcony, as she looked at the moon, she felt relaxed and calm,

then one dove came to the balcony, she saw a letter on its beak and she went to the dove and took the letter.

She noticed the bracelet on the doves feet. She began to be curious. She wanted to touch it, but the dove flew away,

she watches the dove flew away, she began to open the letter, "I apologized for earlier, I hope you feel better, and I didn't know you got allergies, and I will do my best to know your weaknesses, I again apologized.. from Rafaelus," said on the letter,

she folded back the letter and was touched by his apologized letter. She again looked at the moon once more as the moon glowed beautifully,

Meanwhile, the dove flew away from the palace, and then the dove suddenly turned into a black bird,

the bird flew down and made a greeting sound. Someone from below saw the bird and grin slowly.

The bird flown into the person shoulders, the person patted his bird,

"And where are you got off, my naughty bird?" asked the person. He again touched the birds head with affectionate, and the bird responded to his affection.

the people of the above kingdom were preparing for the light festival, the end of the darkness,

the people filled with excitement as they do the decorations for the sun to rise up,

Rafaelus was busy looking for Mystique anywhere, but Mystique was nowhere to be seen,

he saw her sister and he decided to go to her and asked,

"Jemaria, your highness," he bowed as a greeting with respect as she is a royalty,

"Hey, Rafaelus, is there anything you wanted?" asked Jemaria out of curiosity,

"Ummm...I was asking on where is Mystique, I haven't seen here anywhere," replied Rafaelus,

Jemaria smiled a little, "Well.. she is in her private garden, busy with her roses," said Jemaria, "is she alright? Did she get healed with her allergy?" Asked Rafaelus concerned.

"Hmm..as I thought, you will be asking that, will she is alright, got healed from the herb from my young brother," replied Jemaria,

"Jemaria, we have some work to do," said Reonies, "sorry, but we're busy for the meantime. How about you join us as you wait for Mystique," offered Jemaria

Rafaelus just nodded as a response, and Jemaria led the way, and Rafaelus followed her,

At the private garden.

Mystique sat at the side of her roses, she touched them, she decided to fecth water at tha garden's fountain,

she watered them as like she watered them with love and affection,

"So.. sad my roses but I have to go, tomorrow is the light festival, I need to help with the decorations and I've excited to see the sun rise again, since tha dark controlled the kingdom for one week, its feels like I can't live without a sun, and also I can't leave without my beautiful roses the most, see you again my roses," said Mystique, she stood up and left the garden.

But before she exited the garden, she heard a fall sound on the ground. Out of curiosity, she turned back and looked for it,

as she walked the garden, finding what it was, she heard a chirping sound,

the sound was closer, she walked to a bushes and moved the bushes gently and saw the dove and to her suprise it was the same dove from last night, it has a bracelet on its feet,

she began being pathetic seeing the bird filled with wounds on her body, she grab the dove with her hands gently, and she patted the dove gently with her finger.

"Don't worry, I will take care of you, little dove, so bad you got so many injuries," said Mystique and exited the garden,

It was the dim night, the darknes is almost over, Mystique called her sister, Amadues the goddess of healing to heal the injured dove, Mystique sat at the side of the bed, watching Amadeus healing th dove, Amadeus looked at Mystique and noticed she is focus at the dove,

Amadeus was done healing the dove, "Well.. here the dove is fully healed," said Amadeus,

"Thanks, sister, but why isn't the dove not blinking our flew away since the dove is healed," asked Mystique, seeing the dove still laying on her bed.

"Hmm.. maybe the dove is not ready to fly away, I should go to Mystique. I need to help our sisters with the last preparation for tomorrow," said Amadeus, and she left,

"Thanks again, my sister," repeated Mystique as she is grateful for healing the dove. She touched the dove again with her finger gently, but the dove didn't make a move,

she frowned her face, as she was confused and curious, then the dove stood up and that made Mystique startled, she giggled,

"You're a chicky little dove. You made me skip a beat there," said Mystique, laughing at herself.

Meanwhile, the person or the owner of the black bird got worried as his bird didn't show up,

"Ohhh.. Slyisto, where are you?" said the owner worriedly. He saw a rock, and he immediately grabbed it and threw it out of frustration.

It was the day of the light festival, Mystique went to a mountain, the place on where she is relaxed and calm, it was her second secret place,

she found that place when she was 2 years old, and she didn't even told to anyone about that place, cause she wanted that place to be her place of silence, while her garden is her place of happiness.

She was sitting on a branch of a big tree on where she planted it while she was 7 years old,

now she is 23 billion years, the life of the above people is immortal, therefore they can lived for over billion years, but once the power in them disappears, one of them dies, as they powers is there only source of life,

Mystique was holding the dove on her arms, petting it with affection, she wanted a dove like that but she wasn't allowed by her father, cause doves are deceiveful, some doves are shapeshifters, and some are not,

the dove that shapeshifters called "the black bird", and it is only found in Dark kingdom,

the Dark kingdom is where only dark that filled in the kingdom, the people there has powers but black powers, has black wings and has red eyes,

that Kingdom is opposite of the Above kingdom, the name of above kingdom is where light and sun while the Dark kingdom is only the moon and the stars,

One a billions year, they exchange position, one years of Darkness in Above kingdom and same as the Dark kingdom, one years of Light in Dark Kingdom.

As it was in the golden scroll, cause before two kings, the Dark and Above Kingdoms fought for Darkness and Light, that war overed for trillion years,

they end the war by giving a scroll of agrreement from the Highest King where they must exchange role every month,

they agreed and the Highest King separates the kingdom into two, the boundary is a dark forest with wild animals,

"I'm excited to see the sun up, how about you are you excited?" asked Mystique to the bird that her chest filled with joy and excitement,

she face the dove and the replied with a chirp, Mystique made a little chuckle, then Mystique noticed from afar,

her eyes widened as she saw black wings, and black magic surronding the body, the dove flew away,

she just watched the dove flying away from her, then she was surprise to see the dove was a shapeshifting bird,

the dove flock with the that someone, she moves backward out of nervousness, till she fell down from the tree,

the sun is up, the sunlight dazzled to her eyes, one month of darkness and now one year of lightness,

she smiled brightly, "the sun is up," said Mystique being in a merry mood,

At the Palace.

The people there jumped in joy upon seeing the sun, the smiles on their faces, the happiness in their voice,

Arturio Jelo and her childrens were at the balcony, seeing the sun up made their heart jump in joy,

Arturio Jelo noticed to his children one of them was missing and he realised it was Mystique, "where's Mystique? She's missing the excitement," he asked to Teranu, the third daughter, the goddess of the wind,

Teranu looked around and her father was right, Mystique was missing, she looked at her father again,

"You're right father, but I hopelossly don't know, where is Mystique, she's maybe in her private garden," replied Teranu,

Arturio Jelo was having mixed emotions with his feelings, his chest mixed with happines and worriedness,

At the Dark kingdom.

The owner of the black shapeshifter bird was Cairus Blake, a prince and leader of the encampments in the Kingdom,

Blake was standing at his balcony, with his wine, he swirl the glass made the wine inside to twirld of the movement,

he got mad as his bird, for not showing up last night, he looked at his bird that was standing at the balcony,

and he looked away, he glaze at the stars twinling its glow finding its pieces,

"I was worried about you Slyisto, I didn't know where you're, you didn't came home last night," said Blake furiously,

out of frustration, he grab his bird on its body and his wings gasp in his hands,

he noticed the injuries on his body, he then realised he got maybe injured when he was going home,

he soften his gasp and he went to his bed and he lay down his bird, "I'm sorry Slyisto, I shouldn't have knowed you have been injured," said Blake being guilty in what he was done,

"For forgiveness Slyisto, I cure you, wait for me," he said and he left to find herbs,

At the Above Kingdom.

Mystique was in her garden, at the fountain she rested her head at the side of the fountain,

she was deep in her thought, as she was suprise on what she see earlier,

"Soo.. the dove was a shapeshifter black bird, I shouldn't have knowned," she said in mind admiting she was devastated on the reality hard hits her, out of frustration she opened her wings, but she glaze at her red roses, she calm herself and she eventually close her wings again,

she saw a rock, she grab it and out of anger, she throw it away from her "Auhhhh...for now on, I will trust nobody, I will be cold hearted.. starting right now" she promise loudly to herself,

then a dove came, she noticed it and it flew down to the side of the fountain, she moved backwards,

Mystique glared at it intensely, she came closer to the bird, she grab the bird to its wings.

She observe the bird closely till she went to its feet, "okay..your not a shapeshifting bird," said Mystique in approval, she grab the letter on its beak and the dove flew away, she read the letter and as she read the letter, its just a letter from her father, a letter of worriedness,

she smiled and folded back the letter, and sighed heavely,

At her room.

Mystique was sitting alone on her bed, she heared bird chirping, she looked at her balcony and it was a dove,

she glared intensely at the dove, then her sisters came in,

Layla the second sister saw the bird and she ran while shooing the bird, and the bird fly away,

"here Mystique Rafaelus gaves this to you," said Jemaria while giving the bouquet of red roses to Mystique,

Mystique crosssed her arms, "thank you a lot, just put on the bed please," ordered Mystique,

Jemaria looked at her multiple times and followed her order,

"He wouldn't bother gave me that bouquet I have soooooo many roses in my garden, I don't need another one," said Mystique.

Her sisters looked at each other, "Mystique you should be grateful that someone gave you, you know that he gave off his efforts, it maybe small but the effort is huge," said Helene,

"I know, but I'm a content person, If I have on of that, I don't need another," said Mystique,

Helena smiled at her and she looked at Jemaria, "Mystique, you know boys like hard to get girls like you?" franking Jemaria.

"How can you say that.. boys like easy to get girls since they are easy to get," said Mystique,

"Well.. nope, they like is hard to get girls cause it made boys more challenging and more fun," said Reonies,

Mystique thought for a second, she bite his lips, "soo.. you mean I need to change myself?" said Mystique, she shoke her head in disaggrement, "noo.. I will not, I will not change for a man or for someone," she added, her sisters hides their laughness towards her,

Mystique looks away while crossing her arms,

At the lakeside.

Rafaelus was writing a love poem under the greenwood tree, for Mystique since he knows how to write some love poems, and it is his hobby,

Yenuper was watching from above the tree, "another love poem?" asked Yenuper, "don't talk to me, I'm concentrating," said Rafaelus annoyed,

Yenuper chuckle slightly, he went down and he came to him, Rafaelus strecth his hands, "is it done?" asked Yenuper, "yes.. and now I need to gave it to Mystique, and where is that bird?" said Rafaelus,

he stood up and looked around at the bird, Yenuper was suprise when he mentioned a bird, "I didn't know, you have a dove messenger," said Yenuper in surprisement,

"I found the bird," gladly said Rafaelus, he ran to the bird,

Yenuper stared at the bird, he observe it closely, he feel something off to that bird.

He went closer to him, before Rafaelus going to put the letter to his beak, Yenuper shoo the bird,

Rafaelus wide his mouth out of confusion and curiousity.

"Why did you that brother? Asked Rafaelus, "I don't trust the bird, there is something off with that bird, where did you found the bird?" said Yenuper,

"Well.. while I was at the riverside writing some poems, that bird came to me," explained Rafaelus,

"Next time, don't see or came closer to that bird, it feels like it was a shapeshifter bird," warn Yenuper,

Yenuper left Rafaelus standing by himself at the lake side, "and how can I deliver my poem to her?" Rafaelus asked loudly,

"Find another option, to show your affection," replied Yenuper loudly while walking far away from him.

Mystique was in her secret place, she picked some beautiful flowers, she sat down at the wild green field,

she mesmerized each flower she picked. She opened her palm and made a sparkle flower,

she observed to her creation, she smiled gently seeing how beautiful it was.

Then she was startled by a noise from afar. She closed her hand and looked,

she saw birds flying from the sky, it seemed scared of something,

as she was curious, she stood up and went to there, she left behind her made bouquet,

Mystique walked to somewhere. She thought she was lost, and she stopped.

She looked around to find another way to get in. She extended her hand, and she surprised her hand went through. She pulled her hand back, and she went through again,

she looked at her hand and she still speechless upon what she see and experience, "maybe this is the portal, or the boundary of both Kingdoms" she asked in her mind that filled with curiosity questions that can't be answered,

she looked around if there's someone, just in case she wouldn't caught, she pulled her courage and went in the portal,

she looked at the ground and noticed it was dark. She looked around, "I'm really in Dark Kingdom?" she asked herself, she walked around and it was dark, it was difficult for her to see everything,

she heard some sword noise, she didn't know where it was, she just followed the shoosh sound,

she noticed a campfire, and she looked at the side. She got startled as she saw a man fighting with someone,

he slid himself into the ground, Mystique hid behind a big tree, her eyes sparkled, seeing the man's eyes and his aura.

She saw a small wound on his shoulders, then she got startled by the sound of greeting from a shapeshifting black bird,

she made a shesh and she put her finger to her lips, she looked again and her eyes widened as the man already looked at her from afar,

she sat down out of nervousness, her heart beated fast and started to get goosebumps,

Meanwhile, at the two men,

The man stood up and looked at the tree where Mystique was hiding,

"Hey, Blake, are you okay?" concerned his mate, Blake looked at his mate and came to his senses,

"Ohhh?" he showed him his injured shoulder, "Now.. do I look okay to you?" franking Blake, "I'm sorry Blake, I was carried away, and I forgot it was just practice," said his mate, he noticed Blake being out of space, he was searching something from afar,

he turned around and began to search what Blake was looking at. He frowned his face as he didn't find what Blake was trying to find with his eyes,

he face him again, "Blake, what are you finding from afar?" he asked out of curiousity,

Blake came to his senses and smirk, he looked at his mate, Matteo Will, his childhood friend, the son of the trusted knight of the king,

"Well.. don't mind that, I just saw a creature from afar, or maybe I just overlooked it," said Blake, "hmmm... a creature, and what kind of creature?" said Matteo, "can we just head home? Because you win your thoughts, you almost kill me," said Blake,

Matteo bends his head, "I apologize your Highness, for making it up to you, let me cure you," said Matteo,

he looked up and noticed Blake was gone. He looked around and saw Blake walking towards a big tree. Matteo sighed heavily and went to him,

Blake came to the big tree and slowly looked at it to see if that person was still there,

he looked but unfortunely she was gone, he looked around, but has no sight of her,

Matteo put his hand to his shoulder, Blake looked at him,

"We should go, I need to cure you also," said Matteo, without a option they left and flew to the palace.

Mystique ran towards the portal, and she jumped and fell down to the ground,

she chuckles slightly and lies down to the wild green field. She catches her breath, she closes her eyes, and smiles,

At Mystique room.

She flew to her balcony, and to her suprise, her sisters were there, concerned and worried about her,

her sisters went up to her when Mystique stepped foot on the floor,

"Where did you go, My dear Mystique?" asked concerned Arumi, "auhhhhh...I was in my garden, and I went outside at the Kingdom's river," replied Mystique,

Helene strokes her hair gently, "we're worried about you. Next time, you will update us on where you go. So.. we can't be worried about you," said Helene,

"I'm sorry, my older sisters, next time I will do," said Mystique and smiled softly, "you're filty, how about we gave you a bath at the lake?" Offered Jamaria,

At Dark Kingdom.

Blake was in his room, sitting in bed with an injured shoulder. As Matteo promised, he cured him with some herbs,

Matteo put some leafy remedies on his shoulder, Blake aching in pain screams in silence as the leafy remedies are like heat when putting to his skin,

"Okay.. I hope that those remedies could heal you sooner. That's the only remedy I know that can held wounds," said Matteo,

"Those remedies are so.. hurting my skin, it's like fire," argue Blake, "I also informed your beloving that you got injured," blurted Matteo,

Blake's face turned frown and suprise upon hearing beloved in Matteo's mouth, "beloved? Who's my beloved?" asked confusely Blake,

"Well.. you know, Angelica, is she your beloved?" replied Matteo in question, Blake shook his head as a disagree, "No.. she's just a friend, not a lover of mine," said Blake, clearing the air of misunderstanding.

Then Slyisto Blake's bird came back, Blake smiled softly upon seeing Slyistos returned,

Slyisto flew to his arms, and Blake noticed a necklace on its beak, Matteo saw it too,

"And where did you stole that, Slyisto?" asked Blake, then he grabbed the necklace on its beak,

"Now.. when did you teach Slyisto to rob somebody's jewellery?" asked Matteo, Blake looked at him intensely, "No.. I didn't teach him that, I was also surprised that he knows how to stole things," replied Blake,

he then looked at the necklace deeply, "What a beautiful jewerly, isn't it?" said Blake mesmerized by the jewellery's beauty, "I wonder, whose necklace belongs to.." said Matteo,

At Mystique room.

Mystique was done bathing at the lake, and she was fully dressed. Also, her sister made her behavely sat down while they were busy doing her hair,

"You're beautiful, Mystique," complimented Helena, "she's always beautiful, my dear sister Helena," said Arumi,

Helena looked at Arumi intensely, "I gratefully appreciate everything you do, my older sisters," said Mystique,

"Of course, since you're the youngest of all, we treat you like a baby," said Jemaria,

her sisters laughed upon Jemaria's statement, "she's no longer the baby. She's an adult now," said Amadeus,

"I think something's missing in Mystique, have you sisters noticed?" asked Reonies,

Jemaria snapped her fingers, "I know what's missing, jewerly," said Jemaria.

"What jewerly do you want my young sister?" asked Amadeus in softly tone,

"My favourite necklace that has blue violet pendant," replied Mystique, Reonies went to her cabinet and searching for her blue violet pendant,

but Reonies was confused as she didn't find a blue violet pendant in Mystique jewellery box,

"I didn't find the blue violet necklace," reported Reonies, Mystique turned around, worried,

"Don't worry, Mystique, let me help you, Reonies," offered Jemaria. She went to her and desperately searched the necklace,

they turned around, and both shook head, Mystique raised an eyebrow and opened her wings out of frustration.

Helene went to her and tried to calm her down, "We sure that no one got inside the room, how a necklace be gone," said Helena,

"Maybe someone or something stole her necklace," said Amadeus,

"That was my favourite necklace, that is the gift that our mother gave me, that's the last memory of her," said Mystique,

Then her sisters startled by her sudden scream that was so loud that everyone in the kingdom heard her scream.
