he married the eldest daughter of the House of Swords, and succeeded the previous King when he was killed in battle. The Sons and Daughters of the House of Swords all have dark hair, usually very black, and green or dark blue eyes. ” Talon stopped there to see if they fully understood the relationship. They didn’t say anything, so he kept going.
“The Northern Hemisphere is a very beautiful place. If there was a place to live in all the stars I would choose to live in the Northern Hemisphere of Amatia Prime. It’s Ruled by Celeste, the Queen of Dreams. It’s covered in water, with very little land. It isn’t like the ocean, like they have here on Earth, the water is crystal clear, and fresh.” Talon stopped when Lily frowned.
“If the place is covered in water how do they live on it?” Lily asked.
“They have floating cities. Their entire hemisphere lives in cities moored on the lakes. The Sons and Daughters of the House of Dreams all have the same coloring. They are born with blonde hair, and blue eyes, but when they transform for the first time they change, as do all Syren. Our features change, and we begin to transform into what Amatia Prime has destined for us.” He looked at Lily, “You are a Daughter of the House of Dreams. They have silver hair, light blue eyes, and very pale skin.” He’d always thought that the Daughters of the House of Dreams looked a little weird with their silver hair, but after seeing Lily he was
rethinking his entire impression of them.
“What do you mean I’m a Daughter of the House of Dreams?” Lily asked. She was starting to believe what Talon was telling her, but she also wasn’t going to let someone fool her into believing something that she couldn’t see, touch, or feel.
“Daughters of the House of Dreams are powerful Prophets. They are closer to Amatia Prime than any other race of Syren. Their closeness with Amatia makes them highly respected on our world.” He hoped that she understood that he was paying her a
compliment.
“The Southern Hemisphere, where I’m from, is the ruled by Derrik A’fal, King of the Kingdom of Fire. Like the Northern Hemisphere we live on water, but we do not have as much of it as the Northern Hemisphere does. The rest of the Southern Hemisphere is covered in a very thick forest, and believe it or not, the Syren there have made their homes in the trees. There are entire cities in trees.” He looked down.
“It is a very beautiful place, but also dangerous.” He thought back to his mother’s twisted body after she’d fallen from such a place, and he shivered. He loved his kingdom, but he wasn’t sure he would ever want to go back.
“The Sons and Daughters of Fire all have hair that is some shade of red. Our eyes vary, so you won’t find that we all have blue eyes, or that we all have green eyes, but a mix of all of them.” Talon’s hair waved, even though there was no breeze, and he reached up to smooth it down. He knew it was an involuntary motion because of his thoughts about his mother.
“So, I just want to know how long the two of you have been on Earth. Do you know who you are?” He had a suspicion that they didn’t know anything about who they were, or their place in their world.
Lily cleared her throat. “Well, we used to live with our Mama in Orlando, but a couple a days ago, maybe even a week, Tyler and I decided to run away. Mama wasn’t very good to us, and we were pretty sick a livin’ with her.” Lily didn’t want to go into the details of how bad Mama actually was with Talon. She felt somethin’ for him, already, and was ashamed to admit to him that her Mama abused her so much.
“We didn’t know we were any different at all until the night we left. I went outside for the first time, and when I did somethin’ happened to me. Not sure what yet, but my hair went all silver, and some other pretty weird stuff.” Lily wasn’t sure how much she should tell him, and she didn’t want to offend him by callin’
