Chapter 1 - The Beginning

Fyora sat in her quarters, once again going over her will. As an aging, fairy queen, it was her duty to decide on her heir. She had two twin daughters, Jaela and Illusen, and Fyora couldn't decide between the two.
In the end, she chose Illusen, the younger of the two. It was uncommon for the younger offspring to be chosen as heir, but there was something distinct about the two sisters that made her choose who she chose. Jaela was evil.
