With a deep breath Rune replied post haste to his king, "I agree with you wholeheartedly, your majesty" Turning his head he peered over at Jasper who was lying on the doctor's table being taken care of with the great expertise of the king's doctor. Prince Jasper looked so small and fragile on that table, unconscious and wounded; Rune couldn't help but feel guilt for the boy getting hurt, despite the King's comforting words. Out of respect, Rune looked back toward King Mitus when he spoke again, "King Mitus, you have entrusted me with protecting the Prince and the Princess, I believe in order to protect them both I must find a way to rid Princess Jemma of her curse, that would require her and I being gone for quite some time" Rune knelt down on one knee and bowed his head. "But I swear to you my king that I will find a way to free your daughter of the Fate that has befallen her, with your blessing of course"

After receiving a fresh outfit from a kind older maid, Princess Jemma changed and went with her mother to the garden where all was peaceful, unlike that of inside the castle. In their home there were guards and maids scurrying everywhere. The maids had a large cleaning job to tend to and the guards had to calm down the handle of villagers who had rushed to the castle gates to see what was going on. The guards made up a lie about one of the court wizard's spells gone wrong, no one could know the truth about the princess. Meanwhile outside in the large and beautiful garden of the castle the queen walked with her young daughter, trying to comfort her.

Jemma kept her head down, trying to hold in her tears and keep herself calm. She tried with all her might to block out the vision of her brother getting hurt by thinking of the wonderful place Rune talked about before. "Jemma, please look at me child" Her mother took Jemma's hand. "Your brother is going to be alright, Rune and your father have it under control." Although Jemma's mother was indeed frightened of what kind of power the young girl held and was worried about her son, the time was not then to show her true feelings. Princess Jemma looked up at her mother with a worried and questioning expression. "You really think Jasper will be okay, mother?" Queen Eileen feigned a smile and gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Of course, my dear, he and you both have the same strength as our King, your father" A little while passed and the queen suggested that they go inside and check on Jasper. She led her young one to the infirmary and stood outside of the infirmary, knocking lightly on the door.

Seeing her brother thrown back by the lightning made her shout out his name a third time. Although many children their age new how to swim, the Golden twins did not. How hard could it be? Besides Jasper needed her help. Jemma prepared to lunge into the rapid, swirling waters created by her storm. A loud crash stopped her dead in her tracks. It was Rune, he had busted the door open where Jasper's small body had cracked it. He was there to save them. Despite the fact that her eyes were swollen from crying and the rain decreased visibility she knew it was him and hoped he could see her. The frigid waters rushed out as Rune had gotten through the door, she could hardly see as Jasper was taken out by the current just by Rune's feet. "Jemma, where are you?!" She heard Rune call out. Jemma was on her soggy bed, her arms wrapped around herself, body trembling. She cried out meekly, "R-Rune?"

The young man saw Prince Jasper lying on the wet floor just a foot or so away; the prince was bleeding from a wound on his chest. Rune let out a small gasp and quickly removed his coat to place it under the boy's head. "I'll be back in a moment your highness, hang in there" He spoke to the unconscious boy before standing and running into the room against the rain to find Jemma. "Speak to me, princess!" He called out once again to get her to lead him to her. "I'm h-here Rune, please help!" Her voice quivered. His eyes moved to the princess's bed, the rain that had already soaked him head to toe was also blurring his vision but he wouldn't let that stop him. Jemma stood up and moved toward him, her feet sinking into the wet mattress and sheets. "Princess, you must calm down or this storm will continue, think about that place I told you about, remember? With the flowers in all the colors you can think of, the luscious green fields of grass and the endless blue skies, think about that" He reached out and took her in his arms, holding her close, trying to protect her from getting any more soaked. "Breath princess, breath." Rune whispered to her.

Jemma closed her eyes and instead of the visions of her family murdered she started to see what Rune was talking about, the beautiful place that she always wanted to go, she wasn't sure if the place was real, but she considered this place her safe place. Within a few deep breaths the rain started to dissipate and the room became silent. Rune carried the princess out of her and Jasper's room and set her down to attend to her twin. "Jemma, whatever you do, do not look." He ordered the girl. As much as she wanted to see if Jasper was okay, she did as she was told so the storm would not come back. Behind her she heard footsteps coming toward them, it must have been her parents, the king and queen, and a handful of guards. That's who arrived last time this happened, besides Rune of course.

“Good night mother, good night father” Jemma called out after her parents, she always was sure to say good night to both her parents, she had the worst fear of waking up and them not being there. That had been the nightmare she had had the night of the incident in her bedroom. Over on the other side of the room Jasper spoke to her. And even at the young age of six, Jemma wanted to question her brother; she wanted to know straight out what was wrong. But the youngster knew better than to dwell on things, that’s how the storms came. “I really hope we can, I haven’t been outside into the town since… what happened the last time” Out in front of her face she held the hand which she had gotten hurt on and examined her wrapped up finger in the dark. “Hey Jasper… Don’t you think it’s weird how something so beautiful can be so harmful?” It was somewhat of a rhetorical question, sometimes she was afraid to talk to him for fear of something serious coming up in the conversation and making her have another incident. She didn’t wait for a reply; Jemma rolled over onto her side and pulled the covers up onto her, making sure her favorite silk sheet went over her head to keep her safe. It was like her security blanket. A girlish yawn could be heard from underneath the covers on the girl’s bed. “Tomorrow will be a great day, no matter what we do, I promise” The words were muffled but still understandable. “Good night, Jasper”

Shortly after the words were spoken the girl, lying on the most comfortable beds in all of Everglenn, drifted off into peaceful sleep. That is, it was peaceful… Hours passed and later into the night, when the twins were both fast asleep, a nightmare came to the girl. This nightmare seemed more real than any dream she had ever had. She felt all the pain, physical, mental, and emotional. The hurt was unbearable. In her nightmare, there was a man, a tall inhuman looking man with pure white hair and a heavy suit of armor on. This man stood over the dead bodies of her father, mother, and brother. They had been severely mutilated and possibly tortured beforehand. All the young girl could do was scream and cry, she’d never felt so weak in her life, they were dead and he claimed it was her fault. “This world is mine now, girl. None of them could stand in my way, see” He held up the head of Rune to show it too her. The dead man’s eyes were wide and his mouth hung open with blood dripping from it. “And neither will you” He dropped the severed head of her guardian and drew his broadsword, kneeling quickly and plunging it through the girl’s chest.

Her breathing was burdened, her eyes were wide and pain overtook her. This was unlike anything she’d ever felt before. “J-Jasper…” Was all she could say. With a tear stained face and blood filing her lungs and mouth Jemma fell over as the man pulled his sword from her chest. She fell to her side with a limp body; the young princess was drowning in her own blood now, this was it, the end of her, of Everglenn, of the entire world of Azarath.

Jemma woke up gagging and coughing, her clothes were soaked a loud roar shook the castle. With a hard coughed the young girl cried out for her brother. “J-Jasper!” The room was filled with water, almost halfway already, her brother had been trying to shake her awake. With deep stuttering breaths she looked at him, eyes wide with fear. Her nightmare had triggered her curse like before. It only took a few seconds for another lightning bolt to strike before another boom of thunder. It drowned out the sound of Rune trying to get the door open, to rescue the twins. Jemma trembled and clung to her brother. “Jasper, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!!” She spoke in her childish voice. When the words left her mouth one last lightning bolt struck and hit her brother in the chest sending him flying back into the water. “No!!”

Later, when the evening had come, Jasper and Jemma were able to relax in the room that they shared. Since Jemma had nowhere else to go she had changed into one of her orange and yellow, child-sized night gowns made from only the finest fabrics. It was like silky clouds running over her skin whenever she wore it. After changing she had gone to admire the flower in its lovely new case for a while. Then she retired to her bed. In the back of her mind the youngster knew her brother wasn’t alright, as a twin she could sense without difficulty that he was uneasy. And to make matters worse it was her fault, her and her awful curse.

If only she could learn how to control it, but even with what little control she had over her emotions, the curse she was born with still threatened her and those around her every single day. If she became scared, sad, or angry enough storms would loom over her wherever she was, be it indoors or outdoors, the clouds would come and pour rain down followed by thunder and lightning. The memory of her waking up from a nightmare to find herself soaked and their bedroom flooded still haunted her and Jasper alike.

Jasper spoke to Jemma as she was lost in thought; it took her a moment to process what he had said. Jemma returned his feigned smile with one of her own, only hers was more practiced. “Maybe we can convince Rune to take us into town tomorrow? If I promise to be… safe?” She questioned her own words, how could she put it. “If I promise to try my hardest not to have an incident, but you know whenever Rune is around is when I’m safest, when we are safest…” Jemma let out another small sigh and stared up at the ceiling of their room, all stone. The young princess did not like the confines of the stone castle, she wanted to go out, explore, and be free. But due to her curse she could hardly ever leave the castle.

With a small deep breath Jemma smiled and took her brother's hand after their protector had tended to her bleeding wound. The smile was warm and sincere, she didn't want her brother to worry. "No, it's okay Jasper really" For a short moment the young princess went silent, lost in thought. "Oh, I know, wait here" She spoke to both Jasper and Rune before hurrying outside, this time remembering to lift her dress a little, keeping it from dragging. Rune waited patiently and in the mean time looked too Everglenn's future king. "I don't expect you to forgive me right away, this time it was only minor, and I surely won't be around all the time, something major could happen, despite my efforts... It just goes to say that she's a princess and it's inevitable, you're strong Jasper, you must be there for her as I am for you both, you can promise me that, can't you, young master?"

Before Jasper could reply, his twin returned to stand before them in the hallway. "Here, I brought these for you both, since you both helped me" The princess held out the red rose to Rune and a beautiful orange calla lily to Jasper, orange and yellow were the colors of the golden children of King Mitus. "The rose for Rune, so he can protect me from it, and the lily for Jasper, because it's a symbol of beauty, like the kingdom you will rule some day" n_n. She seemed to get over the whole finger prick incident pretty quickly, from day one she had to learn to adapt so that others wouldn't be affected by her curse, still it broke through from time to time, she was still young and learning.

Rune bowed his head at Jemma and graciously took the rose from her, being sure not to allow to prick her again. "Thank you milady. You are so very kind" He smiled sweetly at the young girl, she was almost as a younger sister to him or even a daughter, where as he wasn't as close to Jasper. "So Jasper, about that promise, will you do me this one kindness, no, not for me, for the princess of Everglenn, your sister."(you can add stuff and then skip ahead to night time in their bedroom if you'd like)

Jemma walked with Jasper as he pulled her; she trusted him, he always protected her and made her feel safe. Seeing the deep red color rising from the prick on her finger made her stomach feel strange, it was a feeling she hadn't felt before, Jemma was queasy. When they made it to the maid standing at the top of the white marble stairs leading up to the porch, the maid quickly turned from tending to the potted plants to see them coming and bowed respectfully to the young master and mistress of the household. This young maid was shorter than the average woman but slender with long brown hair tied up in a bun and matching chocolate brown eyes. She wore the customary maidservant’s outfit which covered and fit her nicely. At once she saw the blood on the hand that Jasper held out to her. “Oh my, what’s happened, young master?” The maid was surprised because the children were not to be left unsupervised, so where was the one on duty to be watching them? “Right this way, I shall tend to the wound this instant” Before the maid could lead them inside a man seeming in his late twenties walked out to them.

He seemed a little less surprised then the maid had that Jemma was bleeding, she had a tendency to get herself into trouble, even if it was just a small wound. “Ah, there you two are, I’ve been searching all over the castle for you, don‘t worry Evalynn I‘ll take care of this” The man spoke to the maid without looking at her. This was Rune, guardian to the twins who was around when the nannies or maids weren’t watching them. Once an esteemed knight in King Mitus’s army, he was chosen by the King himself to protect the Prince and Princess with his life. Rune did not mind, he cared for the twins as if they were blood related to him, while still maintaining the respect aspect of their relationship. Rune knelt down before the six year olds and removed a role of bandages from the satchel at his belt. “How’d this happen, Princess?” He asked while gingerly taking her hand from Jasper’s and starting to wrap her finger. “I was just playing with Jasper… we were looking at the flowers when I went to show him the red one with the thorns I got cut” The princess told him while gripping Jasper’s hand with her free hand. It was a small pain, but pain was not something she was used too, at all. “It’s alright Princess, it’s all wrapped now so the bleeding should stop, try to relax, remember your curse” The words came out so casually, remember your curse. No one flinched at the mention of a curse, it was normal talk to them, they all had to be wary of Jemma’s curse. It was just something she was born with, an uncontrollable power over storms which was reigned by her emotions. Therefore everyone in the castle did their best to keep her calm and happy, and keep her curse a secret. Rune stood and looked at them both in turn, “I’m sorry you two, I have failed you as your guardian, I let Princess Jemma get hurt… Prince Jasper, can you forgive me?”
