Arrival

The weeks soon passed in a blur and the King together with his two sons were well on their way to Sun city.As they could easily be burned for the sun rays were too harsh their carriage had a special material to stop the sun rays.

In the carriage the continued to think of a way get rid of his horrid son, while Aldrax just sat staring at the wall of the carriage that was close to him.Ralphus too was quiet .

When they would arrive they would be given separate rooms in the royal wing of sun city's castle as they too were royal.

Some passengers of the carriage couldn't wait to arrive.

Their journey lasted four to five days and they arrived sun castle well passed midnight with minimal stops along the way. They were recieved in the grand hall of sun castle by the King and his most private entourage, the two crown princesses , an the seven elders of Suncity.

King Keeran wore a polite mask and acted very courteously , while Ralphus was rather curious, Aldrax ...well Aldrax was bored. His gaze stared into the distance as if seeing nothing ahead.

"Keeran , my dear friend" king Krollos said with a gentle smile.Though king Keeran never liked Krollos he was the best at pretending, so for a long while he built a relationship of friendship with king Krollos who never suspected a thing

"You are welcome to my humble home." Krollos continued. He then noticed Aldrax and Ralphus standing by their father and couldn't help but raise his brow in curiosity.

King Keeran getting the drift of things introduced his two sons with a smile.

"Thank you my friend.These here are my two sons, Ralphus my boy who is the eldest and Aldrax"

As he spoke Miranda who was made to stand behind Elvira though she was the eldest noticed something strange.

The king of moon city was faking it. She was used to a lot of people faking it around her . She hated it.

Ralphus standing by the right hand of his father beamed and greeted the king.

" Its an honour to finally meet you , your grace " .

The king nodded his head and turn to look at Aldrax , this action caused every one in the room to subconsciously look at him.

The people of the moon were truly beautiful. They had fragile looking pale skin as they were never in sunlight unlike the people of the sun. They looked like vampires ....but this boy they were all staring at....made each of them inhale sharply .Elvira was not different from the rest.

She first thought the eldest son was beautiful but compared to the younger , he was quite bland.

Aldrax looked like the reincarnation of some god.

When the king turned to him , he lazily shifted his gaze past everybody.

His eyes seemed to rate them and quickly dismiss them.All this happened in mere seconds.

When his gaze reached the princesses his eyes didn't see Elvira and seemed to be pulled by some gravitational force to Miranda.

When their eyes clashed Miranda inhaled sharprly, she had never seen eyes as violet as his, and his skin....what made her most uncomfortable was the way he seemed to see into her very soul.

She felt a prickly sensation at the back of her neck but couldn't identify it.

This happened within two seconds but that was the longest he glanced at anyone. Not even the king.

King Keeran was infuriated and wanted to punish this his proud son but he had to keep up his facade as a loving and proud father who raised his sons.

Before he could chastise Aldrax for being rude, King Krollos happily laughed.

"Youths nowadays....am I right Keeran?, I remember when we were mere lads ,fearless and brave....good old days"

"Yes...yes...youths" King Keeran grudgingly agreed.

"Well my friend you all must be tired , please let my maids lead you to your rooms to rest....."

After some more pleasantries by the elders they were all escorted to their various rooms and everyone went their way.
