12 Capitulum 10 - Forgotten Memories 1

"You seemed to have forgotten about your fate, dear Leomord and Lunox."

This was Vexana's greeting to the both of them as they entered the palace doors with huge smiles on their face.

"What fate?" Leomord and Lunox says in unison.

Vexana releases an emotionless laugh.

"You have not recovered all your memories after all."

This all happened in the past. The past everyone seemed to have neglected and ignored. The past that has been already buried under heaps of memories, good or bad.

In the heart of the young nation of the Land of the Dawn, stood one of the greatest kingdoms known in their dynasty. The Radiatus Lunaris Dominium.

This empire, akin to its name, shone bright like a full moon amidst the dark sky. No matter how many times invaders had tried to capture this empire, they all failed and return empty handed.

Their strong, united empire was led by of course, a king and a queen, righteous of their positions.

The king and his queen were blessed with a bouncing, beautiful princess. They named her Luciera, in honor of their kingdom's name.

Day and night, dusk til dawn, Luciera was trained to become every inch of a princess. But, as everyone says, a heart whose ambitions are different, will stray from their destined path and make their own.

Luciera, growing up, was never prim. She liked taking risks and preferred to be never under the guidance of anyone.

Like the moon. Independent. Stunning.

Even when there are no stars in the night sky, the moon would always shine bright. It is an independent heavenly body. Or it's what they all used to think.

Luciera was mischievous, in contrast to the proper and dutiful Leo.

These two were an odd duo. She was every bit of mischief, as he was every bit of a gentleman.

No one ever knew the reason why they fell in love with each other.

But maybe, you need no reason to be in love. Maybe, when you're in love, you just love a person with no particular reason why. That is true and innocent love.

The once independent, free-spirited Luciera is now uptight and dependent to her love, Leo. Her parents, the king and queen, did not like any bit of her change. They missed their free spirited daughter.

But even they could not stop a heart from loving.

Leo was a son to one of the kingdom's royal knights. Loving and gentle, his parents loved him dearly with all their hearts.

But just like how love changed the carefree Luciera, it changed the careful Leo as well.

He was now careless of his actions, using his heart over his mind. Love over circumstance.

Love killed every bit of character they thought they knew they personally had. Now, it had replaced these qualities. Turning them into a whole different person.

This is the story of how the careless Luciera and the careful Leo, fell in love. Or perhaps, how they fell into the trap fate had placed for them. Love.
