Narrative Writing - Moon Princess

Once upon a time…

There were two princesses destined to become the ruler of the Moon and ruler of the Sun. Angel was first born into the Royal family. Raven was the second born. Angel is a dragon with yellow gradient wings and white scales. Raven was the complete opposite compared to her “Shining star”. Raven had black scales with blueish purple gradient wings. Angel’s eyes glistened whenever she was in the sun while Raven’s eyes shone in the moonlight. The tale of the two sisters is a complicated one, but I’m here to tell you what happened…

The past

“Raven, how many times have I told you? You must study so when our time comes, we will be ready to take the spots of our Mother and Father.” Angel said with a stern yet angelic voice. “We get it!” Raven said sarcastically. Silence filled the castle until the sound of talons clicking across the stone-cold floor pierced the silence. “Angel, Raven… Your mother and father request your presence,” said the butler. “Oh boy! I can’t wait to find out who’s going to be Queen of Sun and Queen of Moon!” 

“Most likely will be you, Raven.” Angel stared at her younger sister with a smile on her face. 

“Hope so, but I hope to be the Sun Queen.” “Whatever you say.” Angel and Raven continued walking.

Raven walked alongside Angel, soon they arrived at Queen Eclipsa and King Flare’s Throne Room. “Raven, Angel! You’re here!” Eclipsa was happy to see her daughters. “There you two are, I’m sure you both know what you’re here for. Tomorrow is the voting ceremony for both of you. Based on who the kingdoms have chosen.”. Raven was far more than excited. She had always dreamed of her standing there and the people calling her name “Raven, Raven, Raven!” She would smile as people kneeled and adored her. “Raven, Raven- Raven, RAVEN,!” The voice of her sister broke her daydream. “H-Huh? What?” “Come on we got a pre-party to attend to.” “Oh, Alright.”

Tomorrow

Angel woke up and stared at her painting, she shook her head and walked towards her sister’s room to wake her up. “Raven... are you up?”. She blinked twice and realised she had woken up earlier before her. “Hm, That’s a first.” She walked towards the waterfall room and saw Raven flying around. “Todays the day!!” She pranced in the air. “YAYYY!” Raven skipped and danced in the air. The royal dressers soon burst into the room. “W-Wait WHAT-” Angel was taken by her servants. Raven disappeared into a makeup room. They were getting ready and soon, it was time.

A megaphone played “Greetings Dragons and Dragonettes! Today we have the results for the Queens of Cypsela, also known as Queen Raven and Queen Angel. We won’t keep you waiting long, so here are our soon to be queens!” Raven and Angel walked up the stairs and stood on the cliff, the Moon Kingdom and the Sun Kingdom were separated. “And the most voted ruler for the Sun Kingdom is…” Drumrolls played… “Angel!!” The crowd of dragons went wild, they freaked out and smiled, even the Moon Kingdom was shouting. Raven clapped slowly, her face gave an envious smile as she stared at her sister. “And the Ruler of the Moon Kingdom is Raven!!” The Moon Kingdom shouted with amazement. The Sun Kingdom just stared at her, this really put Raven on the spot. Angel was given a Golden crown with white gems and one big floating sun above it. Raven was given a silver crown with blue gems and one big moon floating above it. After hours of celebration, it was time to leave, Raven was escorted by her royal guards to her palace and Angel was taken away. They had split paths.

Raven was left in her room alone. She was so envious and angry at her sister. She had known how long she dreamed of being the Sun Queen. So envious in fact, she had completely forgotten about her being the Moon Queen. “That crown was supposed to be mine. I deserve it, I have earned it.” She stormed around her room. Soon she got an idea, a dangerous idea. One that could alter her reputation for ages, but at this point, she had been swallowed by hate. Raven opened her window and put a rag over her face to cover herself. She flew outside only leaving her crown behind. 

She had arrived at the heavily guarded arena, many historical items were kept there. Raven retracted her talons and fled to the shadows. She would jump out and grab the guards. Raven snatched their tails and dragged them into the abyss. All that was left was the sound of echoing screams throughout the halls. She equipped the Moon Talons and grabbed the sceptre. These two historical items could cause as much chaos if in the wrong hands. It can grant anything you desire, and the only thing Raven desired was revenge. “The sun may plead and threaten, but the moon will stand her ground.” The world was wrapped in a dark and starry night. The moon shone brighter than usual. She had transformed into something completely different. She had fled into the night with Cypsela’s most dangerous items.

The Next Morning

The kingdom was panicking and everything had fallen apart. Dragons flew across the sky and attacked each other. There was no order what so ever. Without the Alpha Queen putting rules into place, it was a free for all arena. There was a report the royal sceptre had been stolen, along with the Moon Talons. “Who could have possibly stolen the Royal Sceptre and Moon Talons?! The place is so heavily guarded no one could break through-” “Yes, that is why my sister had stolen the crown..” Angel walked in with a worried face. “Ah! my Queen!” The Guard bowed. “Yes, I am afraid my sister has been taken by envy and hatred. Only a Queen can break through such defence.” “But what could we do to find her-” Just then Angel pulled out the Sun Crown. “I think I know what I have to do..”

Raven was found in the Moon Garden. “Raven.” Angel broke the tension in her garden. An aura was felt from Raven, an evil one. “Angel, I’ve been waiting for you!”. 

“Raven you need to stop this madness… Your kingdom is out of control.” “WHY SHOULD I? I IMAGINED ME SITTING UP THERE WITH EVERYONE ADORING ME. I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE QUEEN.” “But it wasn’t my fault! The public chose it-”. 

“I DONT CARE! THAT CROWN IS MINE, AND NOW… I’m even more powerful than the sun itself.” Silence filled the room. “Prove it.” She said with courage. “I said, prove it.” 

“With pleasure.” She flung towards her sister and struck her down.  Raven flew upwards and a spear went through her. “To easy.” Raven felt cocky. Just then Angel grabbed Raven’s hand and hurled her up. She summoned her bow and arrow and hit Raven’s head. She flew downwards and she tackled her. “Time to end this.” Once again she hurled her up and aligned her to the moon, a quick inhale instantly ended her reign. Her fire blasted Raven, the impact was so sudden that she went straight to the moon. 

“Lying there with embarrassment and pain, the sun princess had ended her reign. With nothing else to live for, she started this entire war. Once it was over, she turned to dust and she was nothing but unjust. Punishment for her trying to steal the throne, she shall be banished to the moon to die, alone...”

And that my friends is the story about the Sun Queen that banished the Moon Princess. It is known that she rests within the moon and will return on that same day to get revenge on all who fear her. She vows to dethrone her sister and claim her crown. Until then, every time you look towards the moon, you’ll remember the banished princess who’ll someday return to the world to reclaim her crown.

The End

The end is only the beginning...
