The heart is a complex being; controlling our every emotion and sometimes our every single action. It was the real ruler of the realms. Because in the end, everything that has ever taken place has come from an emotion that stirred the heartstrings...
***
A pair of hazel eyes looked out at the vast waterfalls that flowed through the lush land of Edenia. The clear, blue water babbling and sparkling through the shine of the bright sun. The young woman, who the hazel eyes belonged to, licked her lips softly as she sat comfortably in the soft grass. In her lap sat a almost empty personal pan of Edenian pie. She hummed softly to herself at the taste that lingered on her tastebuds; the burst of berries and Edenian fruit melded well with the creme and delicate crust. She used her spoon to scoop up another piece and shoved it into her mouth, licking the corners of her mouth from the crumbs gathering. She sucked at her finger, sighing softly as she looked down at the empty pan before looking back up to see a huge Phoenix bird fly over the waterfall and up into the sky. Its fiery red wings and its complected multi-colored hues glisten in the sunlight as it then flew away. She looked behind her and immediately stood up, holding the pan, when she heard her mother open the door. She straightened up even more and smiled as her mother walked towards her. The soft wind dancing near the edges of her mother's blue kimono, showing off her dark skin.
"Karina," her mother said gently speaking her name.
The girl, Karina, bowed gently before looking up at her mother with soft eyes. "I've been trying to locate you all evening..." Her mother said, subtly chastising her for her absence. "I am very sorry, Mother," Karina replied apologetically before looking down at the empty pan, crumbs of Edenian pie crust littering the pan. She smirked sheepishly as her mother took the pan away from her, a sharp dark eyebrow raised. She gestured for her to follow her into their home as she threw away the pan. She sat to the side as she watched her mother busy herself around the house before she spoke up to her.
"I've heard word that the son of Argus is looking for a bride..," she spoke up quietly, making Karina look at her curiously. She studied her mother's face for a moment before shrugging gently. "I'm sure that he'll find someone. There are plenty of eligible maidens in Edenia, I'm sure," Karina says softly, raising an eyebrow as her mother looked at her.
"Yes, there are many..." Her mother replied gently before looking fully at her daughter. Her dark eyes reflected into Karina's as she stared lovingly at her. Her mother sighed, tapping her manicured, glass-like nails against the counter. All Edenians had nails that looked like glass, cuticles almost non-existent. Her mother's nails were the same; beautiful and transparent and the tips sharp.
"One of them includes you..." Her mother finally said, making Karina look at her blankly for a moment. "You want me to persue nuptials with Taven?" Karina asked, almost in disbelief. Her mother's silence answered her question as she shook her head in rejection. "I...I'm unsure of that and I would think as a god, he would have to choose his bride among us so I wouldn't think that it's my choice,"
"There is nothing wrong with trying and becoming noticed, my dear. It would help. Besides, there are already many young ladies vying for appeal in his favor," her mother said, making Karina frown.
"I do not wish to marry him, Mother," Karina said quietly yer her voice firm. "Let all of the women in Edenia flock to him; he would find a better bride than I. One more suited to his god hood as well as his respected status," Karina reasoned, watching her mother sigh.
"Would you please try...for me? I know it seems odd for me to request this but I want nothing but the best for you. This is a great opportunity for you. You deserve the best and that's what you can receive if you pursue it. Just try..." Her mother says, making Karina lower her head and let out a heavy sigh.
Her mother always did this. Ever since her father, a war general, had died in war, she ached for some kind of status in Edenia once more. It had gotten to the point where she would push Karina towards any prominent suitor so that she could have a title to her name once again. There were times that Karina felt foolish for being such a pushover; letting her mother control her life the way that she did but she couldn't say no.
"...I will. I will try...," Karina said as she stared at her mother, watching her face melt into one of hope. "I just don't see the worth in this," "You will soon enough..."

"Marriage? Why now?" Taven said as he stared at his father's spirit in the night sky. The stars surrounding his face glistening as his father's specter like face stared at him.
"Taven...it is needed for the continuation of our line. You need to enter union and conceive, be fruitful..." Argus's voice spoke to him, his voice vibrating throughout Taven's entire being.
Taven closed his eyes, knowing that it was needed. He didn't want to join in matrimony with no woman; at least, not now. He had so many other matters to attend to. Every day, he worked towards peace between the realms, hoping that his efforts would be recognized and would ell soothe the rip between the realms. He looked back up at his father's face glowing in the sky.
"What must I do...?" Taven asked in surrender. If it was what he must do as his position as Protector God, then he would do so, even if reluctant.
"You must choose a fellow God or a maiden from Edenia, one of pure Edenian blood for that the bloodline can continue as a descendant from the Gods. She also has to be in touch with her own abilities in order to gain and maintain order by your side as your mate," Argus said, his voice smooth and booming as Taven looked up at him. Taven gave a short nod. On the inside, he was dreading the task; he knew that he would have to get married sooner or later and it wasn't as if he didn't have a desire to but he didn't feel ready.
His dark eyes look back up at his father's face, the stars surrounding him seeming to fade slowly around his brilliance from their previous brightness.
"I will have it done, Father, if it's what's best," Taven said softly, the edges of his father's apparition beginning to fade.
"We will watch over you..." Argus said before completely fading from the sky, leaving Taven to take to take the new information in completely.
Taven sighed and sat down gingerly in on the floor of his balcony. Since he has ascended, it had been always something at his back. He had expected it and knew his title called for stress at times but at some moments, it was overwhelming. But it was never anything that he couldn't handle. He tried to think of it from a positive side; the advantages of having a mate. One with their magic developed or at least aware of their abilities could be a worthy gain but also be a disadvantage with the time he would have to put towards the relationship. He really didn't believe that he could find a wife among the goddesses, he scoffed at the mere thought of it. Too much power could turn against one another in such a close vicinity.
He ran a hand over his dark hair before getting up from the balcony ground and walking back into his golden palace that he now called home. He started to make the plans, he wanted to get this done as quickly as possible so that he focus on his real work once again. A union being the farthest thing from importance in his head...

"The course of true love never did run smooth."
((A/N: Yeah, I'm a bit rusty on my writing. So I'm sorry if that kinda sucked but that was my only idea of how to start it off. It gets better I promise lol.))
