Niko
“Five hundred years.” I sigh loudly.
For half a millennium I have lived in Runic, the realm for all
magikal creatures. My father, Merrick, is the high ruler of Runic. He rules
with fairness and compassion, but his years are coming to an end. He
cannot rule forever.
For seven hundred and fifty years a Fae can live a long and fruitful
life, after which he returns to the dust from which he came. My father will
reach his dissolution in three short weeks and then he will cease to exist.
When he leaves this realm, I will be the high ruler of Runic, a duty I am not
looking forward to. I love my people but there is so much I have to offer up
before I can take the throne.
I once asked my father if he knew why we only lived to a certain
age, and he said he didn’t know. No one does.
“You don’t have a choice, Niko,” my best friend Hayden says from
his seat in front of my desk. “You need to find a Consort. You need to
continue the royal line.”
“I am well informed about what I need to do.” I frown at him before
continuing with the paperwork laid out before me. “What I don’t know is
where I am going to find someone I can stand to be around.”
Hayden contemplates my words for a moment. We have had this
conversation many times over the past hundred years. He is aware of how I
feel about the women at court. They are all so willing to fall in line and
offer up everything and anything to be by my side, even though they know
nothing about me.
I will spend my remaining years with the woman I merge with, rule
a realm with her by my side, and start a family. I can’t just merge with any
woman. I want to merge with a woman that is my equal, not someone that
wants to be a damn doormat. The high ruler of Runic needs a Consort that
can help him rule, not just a pretty piece of arm candy to make him look
good.
“Have you thought about going to see the Oracle?” Hayden asks
after long moments of silence. “There may be some insight waiting for
you.”
There isn’t any time for me to form a reply to his suggestion before
the door to my office opens, and my mother strides in. My father follows
close behind and when our gazes meet, he rolls his eyes. I know she is here
to lay into me yet again and there isn’t much I can do but take it. Hayden
smiles widely before slipping out and closing the door behind him.
“You need to decide,” my mother huffs. “Your father’s dissolution is
too close to keep putting it off. We need a leader, and you cannot take the
throne if you haven’t found your Consort.”
“I am well aware of how this works, Mother.” I sigh loudly, rubbing
at my temples.
