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.
This is a poem I came up with
The pain is far greater
the pain is almost blinding
Du sagte you'd always Liebe me
a rope of Liebe wrapped around me, a binding
But now I know the truth
You're nothing but a fake
Du took my herz and played with it
and now my herz does nothing but ache
I wish to hear your voice again
I wish Du had never hurt me
for now I can't even look at Du
without having to turn and flee
This pain has gotten worse
I can't stand it much longer
but if I take a blade....
I can take the pain Du gave me and make a different pain stronger.
