Chapter 1
The wolven were a kind folk, living in the tree house type homes they built themselves, King Ralneko and Queen Sofina rules over these people in a peaceful time, but soon all of this will change. Flaken, the wolven prince, trained in a secret cave, mating season was coming soon and even though he already had a mate, he still wanted to impress her at the festival.
The festival consisted of several events the wolven would do before they mated. Starting with the feast, they would have a fighting tournament just for fun. Other events will be done but the feast and tournament are the most important. While these events are taking place, the Queen and King will lead and watch. Flaken however will help start the events with his father and King
Flaken walked into his private cave and took off his jacket, laying it on a rock. His black fur lay still and the cave was silent except for the pitter patter of dripping water trickling from a lake just above. He balled his hands up into fists and began swinging them into the air hitting 'invisible' enemies swiftly and with the grace of his people. He stopped and breathed in deeply, calming himself he let the breath out slowly, his eyes were closed. After a few short seconds his eyes jerked open and he turned around fast and struck a big rock with a powerful blow, the rock crumbled to pieces. He continued punching the air after wards.
Meanwhile, Rosela was sitting in the garden picking blue flowers creating a flower crown for him. She blushed frequently as she remembered meeting him in the same garden, their first kiss, and soon they would share another memory in the garden in only a few days to come. A gentile wind blew by and she looked up in the direction she remembers Flaken going into that cave and smiled as she saw him heading into her direction. She hurried and finished the flower crown for her prince and went to hide in a near by bush. When Flaken entered the garden and looked around she jumped out of the bushes to surprise him.
"Boo!" she said giggling.
He jumped and turned around with a smirk. "You spooked me." He said chuckling along with her giggling. He looked in her hand and saw the flower crown, he smiled. "Whos flower crown?" He asked already having a guess.
"You silly." She said with a smile, she got on her tippey toes and placed the crown on his head. "Perfect fit." She got back on her feet only to be caught by his arms.
"Indeed it does fit perfectly." He puts his forehead on hers and they both smiled. He gives her a kiss. "So, you really want to go through with mating season this year?" he said with a look of insurance. She wraps her arms around his neck.
"Mhm, we have been going out for a few years. Me being sixteen and you seventeen, I think were eligible enough. Pwease." She frowned and made a puppy dog face up at him.
"Oh alright. You know I cant resist your puppy dog look." They rubbed their noses together. "Come, mom said that she was gonna cook our favorite for breakfast." He put his arm around her shoulder and they went off to the castle for some breakfast.
Waiting back t the castle, Flakens mom was preparing their breakfast. "Wheres the sugar!?" asked Sofina. "My son and my soon to be daughter will be here any second. I want this years feast to be perfect." she demanded her and some servants rushed around the kitchen making breakfast and started on the feast for the festival.
"Heres the sugar miss." said a servant handing the Queen the sugar she demanded for.
"Thank you deary, continue with your duties." The servant nodded and went back to her cooking. Sofina poured a few cups into the batter and began to stir it.
"Ma'am, prince Flaken and miss Rosela are on their way to the castle." a watchman said sliding down a vine to the window the kitchen would be located at.
"Already!?" Sofina fluttered with impatience. "Alright, lets pick up the pace people, I want the food done and on the table before they get here." They started to pick up the pace, stirring pots and pouring ingredients, cooking everything. Soon dishes and plates were taken out to the dining room. After a few minutes all the dishes were out on the table with flowers and candles.
Flaken and Rosela arrived in the dining room, they looked around seeing only the table and the food along with the candles and flowers. "Looks like were eating alone." Flaken stated walking up to a chair and pulling it out for Rosela. "After you miss." She smiled at him and sat down at the table, he tucked her in.
"Thank you kind sir." She said as if they were out on a date.
"Your quite welcome madame." He sat down in a chair next to hers and they began to eat. Sofina peaked around the corner and smiled.
"We did good." She said turning to the servants. She high fived one of them and they went into the kitchen to start cooking for the festival.
After a few minutes of Flaken and Rosela eating, Flakens father walked in reading a tablet. "Morning son, Rosela." He looked to see what was on the table. "Mmm, your mom went all out today didn't she."
"Mhm, I think it was very kind of her." Rosela said taking a bite out of her pancake.
"Alright, I wont other you two anymore Flaken, if you want to talk to me about anything, don't be afraid to ask." Ralneko stated walking off. Even the fur couldn't stop Flakens blushing from showing. Rosela giggle seeing her soon to be blush.
"Its alright sweety, I'm sure you'll do good." She state trying to cheer Flaken up some. He looked over at her and smiles.
"Thanks Rosela, I'll try my best to please you in the festival." She too smiled and they kissed before going back to eat.
Ralneko went to the library inside the castle and put the tablet on a shelf. He walks over to a chair and sits down in it. He closed his eyes to take a nap. Then a soldier burst in the room. "Sir!" Ralneko jumped up and fell out of his chair. "Sir, the Queen requires your assistance. She say's its urgent." Ralneko stumbled to his feet.
"Tell her I'm on my way."
"Sir!" He saluted and hurried off. Ralneko stood up and shook his robes off.
"Goodness gracious what could she want this time." He says walking own the halls to the kitchen. He opened the kitchen door. "You called sweety?"
"Yes I did, you and I need to talk, now." Sofina stated pushing him into the hallway.
"Did I do something wrong?'
"No, but I think we should help our son through this, not embarrass him to death." she knew what he said to Flaken when they were eating.
"Alright, I'll give a talk to him after the feast. Though it was Rosela that wanted to do it this year."
"I know she does, and I'm happy were going to have grand kids, but what if Flaken isn't ready?" She says twiddling her thumbs.
"You just have to believe he's ready. If we believe in him I'm sure he'll do great." he puts his hand on his wife's shoulder to comfort her. She looks up at him and smiles.
"Your right, I just have to believe in him that's all."
