get the foals to play with her teaching her to build not only strength but her character as well.
The Queen held an assembly for her and presented both Flareance and Crystal Petals as she her grand childern and giving them a joint chance for the throne with White Light and his childern yet it was the crown that chose it's next ruler of the Hillside and could not be opposed.
After the court disbanded the queen asked Flareance if she thought of what she wanted to do later in her life after going to live with her fathers people and learning what they had to teach her would she be willing to come back and try the crown and the chance of being a Queen in her own right?
The young girl looked to the sky and then around the throne room and surprised an immortal Queen by saying "My Lady if that is to be my destiny then I shall gladly wear the Crown of Winter and serve my people to my best ability and help not only my mothers people or my fathers but every one who in habits this planet for I believe that is when we all will be in peace and safety."
It was with these words that the Queen of Winter knew that she had her heir in front of her and that maybe her people would be better led by this future queen. Crystal Petals sent a blessing to the Fates that nothing happened to her child and that she be giving everything in their power to make sure she lived to see her father so that his people could teach her the way of a warrior and a survivor.
As the years of Flareance's childhood flew by with Queen training her and her mother making sure she was never hurt or upset in anyway and her animal friends would never leave her alone if her great uncle was around her. Although she loved everyone and all the animals she hated being treated so special but the other kids in the Fairy Hillside treated her like a misfit and worse if they thought they could get away with it which they didn't between Flareance's powers and her body gaurds she was untouchable or so everyone thought.
It was during her 15th birthday dinner that some one tried to poison Flarenace the day before she would start her work with the soliders learning to defened her self from her own kind when she would take the throne. As she fell and started to fade away one of the Fates came to her saying it wasn't her time and that she was stronger than any poison know to any living creature.
"Use the Magic in you blood to save you and seek out the one who means to kill you and declare Kin Slayer on them for that if you dont they will kill you the next time!" snapped the Fate and sent through the blessing of Wisdom the knowleged of self healing.
The rush of power and the knowleg flowed through her limbs and faught the poison and unleshed her other half that took over more then just her mind. Her dragon half made her even more beautiful by making her face shaper in detail and she grew fangs, claws and smoke came from her nostrils in a deadly stream. When she opened her eyes the circels were pure blazing pools for fire buring with hatred and anger.
The Queen ran straight to her but stopped when the girl laid those eyes on her and for once the queen was afraid for her own life not her peoples for not protecting this child. "My dear child what has happen to you?" asks the queen not showing her fear and faced this new girl with a royal grace. "I was posioned my queen and I call Kin Slayer on the accused" growls Flareance who was ready to take the life of the one who had caused her grandmothers death and the death of the first King of the Hillside Fairies.
White Pine stood up and walked to her and looked into her eyes " Who my greatness did this act against you and the crown of fairy?" he asked for he had an idea and wouldnt know how his queen would take it. "Hear me Fairy of Hillside my attemped murder is none other than My Great Uncle WHITE LIGHT!" Flareance screamed the name of the person who was no where to be seen in the dinner hall.
The Queen blinked but did not say nothing to defend her son but shed one tear for him as she trunned her back to the hall and called on her blood to bring her son before her to face his crime. As the tear shed for her son ran down her face she took a blade form her dress and made a cut on her plam and called to the fates to bring the seed of her blood and flesh before her to settle the Kin Slayer oath and to end a murders life to save the future of her people.
The Fates heard the Queens Plead and made White Light face his crime and his most certin death which he stretched out as he faught the pull of his mother blood call and was crawling towards his doom to stop infront of Flareance who now stood a stunning 5'8 for a fairy with fire buring in her eyes as she looked apoun her would be killer with no pity just anger.
"White Light I call Kin Slayer on you for trying to take my life and those of my first king and my grandmother both died by the poison you gave me. For this you will be put to death by my fire to burn away your hate and your greed to leave the ashes of you body as a reminder that murder is death to anyoen who tries it." growled Flareance as she made in her open hands a fire balls the size of the sun and threw it on White Light setting him ablaze and the court listen to the snapping flames and his screams as he burned.
After the flames died out all that was left was a pile of ashes at the feet of Flareance who was now the most dangerous Fairy in the Winter Court for as the ashes cooled she froze them and handed them to Light Rays the son of the Murderous White Light. "Don't follow in your fathers foot steps for you are better than he ever was live to making his memory a thing of the past and make your people trust you in your own right not becuase of your father." Flareance said in her normal voice for all her power had went into that fire ball and she didn't want to have to kill another one of her people just to protect her own life.
