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 wake on the morning of the wedding. The salty scent of rain pools in from the window. I sit up and blink the sleep from my eyes. 


The words of my scratchy tired voice wakes my slumbering brain and gets me up and out of bed. 


I close the window to cut off the chilly air and look out towards the meadow.


The guards still stand outside, a few start the morning rotation and let the others come back in. The rain has caused many flowers to sprout creating a rainbow path down our crumbled walkway.


A knock sounds on the door. “Enter.”


I hope it’s not Cerulean, since it’s bad luck for him to see me before the wedding. At least that’s what I was told.


I don’t believe it for a second, and his presence would actually be really comforting right about now.


“Hey, little sis.” River says as she comes in with Bayou and a few maids.


“We’ve already checked, and everything is ready.”
