“If I die...my ghost will come and haunt all of you for the rest of your lives,”I threatened, power flowed through my words as I took a slow glance around the room.
They all froze before Elias cursed, quickly flipping the pancake.
“Just try it, Mako,” Kai insisted. He was the first one to recover from my threat.
I took a final glance at the liquid before I put the glass to my lips, taking a generous sip. I sat there for a moment, as the liquid swished in my mouth before swallowing.
Happiness flowed through me as I looked down at the liquid, grinning from ear to ear.
“Where have you been all my life?” I cooed before gulping the rest down.
The others sighed in relief.
I finished the glass, reaching out for Kai’s.
“Mako?” he cautioned.
“But...” I looked up at him, blinking my wide eyes.
He blushed before looking away.
“Fine. You can have it, Princess,” he mumbled.
I squealed, grabbing the glass. I was ready to drink it when my body felt warm and tingly.
“You’re mine now,” I declared staring at Kai.
He looked back in confusion. “You mean the chocolate milk?”
“No, I mean you Kai Akiyama. You’re mine. I claim you, too,”I commanded before the mark on my hand blared to life; his left hand which was relaxed on the table began to glow a mellow orange, similar to a flame.
His eyes glazed over as he opened his mouth.
“Our Princess, future Queen of all the realms. We offer you our protection. As your knights, we come to your aid, protecting and loving you as we strive together to bring peace upon thy lands. You shall be our light as we follow you across the galaxy. Bestow us with your power, as we bring evil to justice. Guide us away from the darkness that plagues our galaxy, for the greater good of all Starlight.”
I continued, unable to stop the words that needed to escape.
“My lovely Star Knight. Oh strong, kind and forgiving. May the Starlight gods grant you strength for the journey before us. Vanquish such fears, leave hopelessness behind, and replace calamity with feelings of hope. Be strong, my dear Star Knights, for we shall conquer all who oppose our forward march towards salvation. I, your Princess, shall stand not behind, but with you, as we protect our lands, restore thy peace and unite all shifters alike.”
My left arm stretched out as my hand lifted like a stop sign before the words flowed out.
“I entrust this duty upon thee, to protect and serve me, as long as I see fit. May the Starlight gods bless our bonding, for everlasting love and trust. I proclaim, the gods as my witness.”I finished, a gentle light formed in my hand.
An orange-red light that reminded me of a phoenix’s flames brightened as it surrounded his hand; the Celtic marking took form. I glanced at my own markings, the once black line that spun around to the centre of the flourishing blossom lit up, an orange colour replacing it. Now, I had five different colour strings twisting to meet at the centre. Only one line remained black.
“In stars, we trust.”
He whispered, blinking out of the trance.
Ryder pulled me into an embrace as I leaned to the side, my body felt weak as I sighed.
“Easy now.” He lifted me up, carrying me to the sofa.
“Rest for a bit, while Elias finishes breakfast. We can’t delay you from eating any longer. You can take a nap after ’kay?” he assured me as he laid me in the soft cushions, my eyes heavy.
“So, a five-minute nap...” I slurred.
“I’ll make it ten,” he joked.
