I’m a man of few words. Everything you need to know about me is that you should never cross my path or you will know what it’s a slow and painful death.

You don’t need to know where I come from or what it has been of my life. All that matters is that I’m the leader of the army of Prince Ousson. I take my job  very seriously and I know that I’ll die on the battlefield. My honor demands it.

My dear ladies and distinguished gentlemen, let me introduce myself. I am Ugar, Earl of Zagarth, and I am the landlord of the field of dreams, a small piece of land in the middle region of Oakiron, which has belonged to my family for centuries.

Here I’ve raised my two daughters, Kyri and Rowira. They’re the light of my life since  death suddenly took my beloved wife Ayriss. I miss her every moment of the day. She was, is and always will be the love of my life.

No other woman can replace her.

I dedicate my life to take care of my daughters and meet the responsibilities that come with being the lord of these lands. My only concern is that Kyrissan and Rowira get what they want and be happy.

Lately I have a feeling that the turning point in their lives is coming. Their fates will be carried out, but it won’t be an easy road to travel to neither of them. I hope they’ve learned enough to succeed on what life has prepared for them.

Ro, Ro-Ro, Rowira here. You want to know about me? Well, let me say that I am a very loving person, I’m always willing to help those in need and I am very joyful. I love to sing and paint. What I like to do best is get out of our castle garden and sit there for hours just to draw with charcoal.

I love my sister Kyri and my daddy. They’re my world and I would do anything for them. I know sometimes I can be a bit annoying, especially with my sister -don’t tell her I said that-, but that’s because I want to see a little more joy in her  life. She gave up and I want her to be happy, to find her prince, fulfilling her fate.

Speaking of fate, I like mine. According to what my daddy and Kyri told me, supposedly one day I’ll find my better half and save him. *bites bottom lip* I think I found him, but the part of the salvation I’m not sure what it means yet. He is so strong and courageous, I don’t think he needs to just saved by me.*sighs*

Anyway, I think I’ll have to wait and see what happens … If I’m honest I’m a bit scared. I love him so much that petrifies me the thought of him be in danger and needing my help.

*gasps*

Look at the time! I gotta go. There is a place where I need to go, arms waiting for me and lips I need to kiss.

Who am I? My name is Kyrissan, but my family and my friends call me Kyri. The rest of the people knows me as Lady Zagath, daughter of Earl Ugar. I am his firstborn. I was destined to be a princess when I grew up, and during my early childhood, I thought it was the best destiny you may have. The day my younger sister, Rowira, was born I was very happy because finally my mom and I would have another princess to play with.

My parents, Ayriss and Ugar were so happy with their daughters that they decided to have a third child and that’s when my life changed forever. My mother and brother died in childbirth.

Her death affected me deeply. Since that day, my imposed fate doesn’t seem so exciting anymore. I began to rebel against all she had taught me as the way a princess supposed to behave. I don’t want to take her place, she will always be my ultimate princess and I can never fill her shoes.

My father says I’m very impulsive and stubborn, but I say that I’m just determined and tenacious.

There is nothing wrong in fighting for what you believe, right?

As to my fate, I don’t think I should worry about it. I’m sure there are many more young women out there, with the same decree upon them to become princesses as I, and with exemplary behavior at the height of royalty. Any prince looking for a bride would choose one of them instead of me.

And that’s more than fine by me. I will not become a princess.

Anything I tell you about me, you’ll think it’s a lie. Don’t try to deny it. I know it’s true.

Don’t worry, it’s not your fault, is the curse that we must blame. I never asked to be born, much less destined to become wicked, son of the devil, evil incarnate or any other affectionate nickname that they call me these days.

In Oakiron, my homeland, exists a very ancient curse in which every person born within the realm, have a destiny imposed by the oracles. You cannot do anything about it or change it. Sooner or later, it will be fulfilled.

Although I have always fought and will fight against mine.

The day my mother gave birth to the heirs of the kingdom, the oracle present condemned me to be the dark prince, another loving alias I have, and be the cause of all the calamities that happens here. To be the opposite of my brother Byse, who was destined to be the next king.

I won’t bore you with the events of my childhood, I’ll just say that was marked by the stigma of my fate. When my father died, the good -yeah, right- new king, my beloved brother banished me to live in the castle Ebon Tide, at the north coast of Oakiron.

If I say that I have done not even the half of the atrocities attributed to me and that I know who is the real culprit, you won’t believe, so I won’t waste my breath.

What I do want you to know is that say whatever you say, believe whatever you believe, I’m not what you think I am. Appearances can be deceiving and I fear that I am one of the very few in Oakiron that has realized that.
