Chapter 2

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.
