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

Cerulean and I have turned our full attention to making the venue perfect. 


Guests arrive from all different countries and hold within the empire. They have housed themselves in different manors around the pier. 


The construction for our attraction is still underway.


“Royal consort Islet.” calls a maid. 


“Yes?” I answer. It's strange having a title at all let alone a title like consort.


“You’re guests in the golden boat have arrived.”


‘The imperial flight boat? My sisters?’


“Take me to them,” I say. I withhold the squeal just in case the guests are for Cerulean and not me. 


When I see the boat docked, there is no one in it. I stomp down my disappointment.


The maid shrugs her shoulders when I look at her. 


I edge closer to see if it is in fact, my sisters. They are the type to hide at a time like this.


Two hands pat my back and send me into the sand. I yelp as a body flails on top of me. 


I pull my sister into a hug. “River, hello my love,” I say.
