It had been many a year since Edward was forced to flee. He trained hard and spent many a hour perfecting his secret weapon, his special power. Now, his training was complete. He felt he was ready to fight, to make the attempt to take back his home and free his people. For now, he had to save his energy for the big journey ahead, and for the right time to make their move. 


He and his princess had since married. She would be his queen when he took back his home, the one woman who would rule by his side for eternity. During his training, they welcomed their first child into the world, a son, whom they named after his deceased father. He prayed that his son would not end up like his brother. 

His wife was resting as he stared up at the sky one night, as was their infant child. He sighed and frowned. Edward worried about the chance that their plans may not succeed. But, he dared not give up hope, lest darkness consume his heart like it had his eldest brother. He narrowed his eyes as he remembered that awful day. His brother, and anyone who dared to side with him, would pay for their crimes. They would all pay!



Edward calmed himself. He had to be patient. That time would come soon enough. And so, he returned to his quarters, and to his family, to wait out the rest of the days remaining hours.
