At the break of their eighteenth birthday, the young adults of Selkie travel in droves to drink Sunburst. The serum is concocted by the priests, who in ceremony bless each person in finding their Twin Ray.

Islet has waited eighteen long years and is eager to know the face of her soul mate. In a cruel twist of fate, she learns that the Holy One has paired her with royalty. But not just any royalty, Prince Cerulean of the neighboring country, who has recently announced his engagement to Princess Marilla of Selkie. The same princess that Islet can't stand.

Twin Ray

“I demand you tell me!” Princess Marilla yells. 


The Duke takes her into a tight embrace. “Calm yourself. There is no reason for an outburst. I’m inclined to believe you hold some feelings for my dear nephew.”


“I do not!” She denies, and pulls back enough to look at him. “But, I have a hunch for whom she is.”


I back away from the railing hoping to make no noise. As to not bump anything, I lay back on the ground and count down from one hundred. I stop listening to them and only listen for my name. Which is never utter from either’s lips. 


Eventually, they stop talking and rejoin the party.
