THE EDEN CHRONICLES
BOOK ONE: A LITTLE BIT Mehr THAN LOVE
PART 1: TWERA AND THE PRINCE
Chapter 3
Kikikyo circled high above Councilpeak, watching his father land. <He makes it look so easy,> he thought before angling into a shallow dive. There was barely enough room on the broad ledge for both of them.
Parthurnax strode confidently into the Councilroom, Kikikyo struggling to keep up. Most of the Council was already seated at the huge round table. A pair of scarlet-and-gold phoenixes rose from their seats and greeted the ancient king.
Kikikyo sttod Von awkwardly. He knew the various forms of greeting, having been drilled in them since he was a decade old. Parthurnax greeted the phoenixes, then stepped to one side.
"Lwok nitha in mirach, Kikikyo," he said. Kikikyo gathered his wits as the turkey-sized birds approached.
"Nrakka, Nucla Kikikyo," the largest of the two said. Kikikyo responded in the traditional way. Through the entire Councilmeeting, he maintained an air of perfect peace and solemnity. Inside, the young prince screamed for release.
***
Lwok nitha in mirach means "and this is my son." Nrakka, Nucla Kikikyo, means "Well-met, Prince Kikikyo." In all of the Eden Chronicles books, languages other than the character's native tongue will remain untranslated in the story. Watch for a special Artikel about the phoenix language.
Councillmeetings are full of traditions and formalities. It would be tedious to outline them all here. In the full version, this chapter will be expanded to include the whole meeting, as well as Mehr descriptions of their surroundings.
Sorry it was so short. Hope Du liked it anyway. Weiter chapter's a double feature.

Twera meets her prince and Kikikyo finds an escape. The first sparks begin to fly.
It's sad
It's the truth
Fighting through what it is
But I'll be stronger
I've gone through
Mounds of pain
I've been through
The deepest waters
Nobody can change my past
It's the truth, and it changed me
Sad to even hear the truth
Sad to...say the truth
Reality's always sad
And no one's gonna escape it.
It's how I became who I am today
It's how I didn't brag.
Why does this have to happen?
Why did it have to end?
Why does the world have to be so confusing?
Why did the fun have to end?
The world's just a crazy place
And no one's gonna stop that thought
Cause I'm broken for good...
Because of...the truth.

Tell me darling why Du cry,
Your tears stain the bett Du lay upon
Could it be Du miss the ones Du clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to Von a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can Du rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can Du be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest

Nothing but a scared little fawn

When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can Du be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Soar, soar
Soar beyond your wildest dreams.....
There's no limit
On how much Du can soar
No one can
Break your wings and kill you
Soar for the skies,
Don't let the feelin go
Just soar, soar like never before
No one's gonna stop you
From believin
There wasn't a time
When nobody could never soar
But there was a time
When people never believed
And tomorrow
Isn't the Tag to fall
And nobody's gonna push Du down
Oh almighty eagle
We're gonna be the powerful eagles
We're not gonna let anyone
Be our ruler,
We're not anyone's slave
Almighty eagle
Oh soar, soar towards the sky's height
And soar toward your dream
Let nothing keep Du away
Almighty eagle
Soar beyond your wildest dreams
And we're gonna fly tonight
Let nobody keep us down.
