A tear rolled out from the corners of Vincent's eyes as she saw her kids after so many years, unfortunately, she couldn't reveal in front of them that she came out of the coma.
She was happy to see her sons together taking care of each other...thinking of what she missed in her life
she trails down the memory lane with tears streaming down her cheeks.
*16 years ago in the Smith palace*
The king and queen were happily having tea and snacks in the palace garden with their two little children playing football around.
"Kids come here first, finish your milk," Vincent called Mars and Marcus.
Mars and Marcus replied in unison turning back to their parents, "Coming Mom"
The two little princes having blue sparkling eyes and sweet innocent smiles on their faces came running to their parents.
"Have your snacks and then you can go back to play," Vincent said rubbing Mars's hairs.
Whereas Marcus runs his fingers in his hair and sits next to his dad, King Richard Smith smiles at him rubbed Marcus back with love in his eyes and gesture to Marcus to eat his food.
"Dad when will go on a vacation? It's been so long we haven't gone out." Marcus asked with his half-filled mouth.
"Soon, my child!" King-Smith said sighing.
Those days Kingdon dragon was attacking the magic world, killed many wizards kings and their families and forcefully captured their kingdoms. Therefore to ensure the securities of the rest of the magical kingdoms. Ministry of magic summoned every wizard king and instructed them not to leave their palaces and kingdoms until the situation is under control.
Kingdom of Snakes and Crystal Kingdom was in a friendly relation as King Cox and King-Smith were best friends. They always said that when their kids grow up they will turn their friendly relations into family relations by getting them married their kids to each other.
By that time no one ever thought of the danger coming to their ways.
After almost 6 months everything has changed, Dragons are now everywhere numerous wizards kingdoms were captured by Dragons who don't join hands with the dragons ended up in graves.
King Cox and King-Smith were worried about their families as well and always search for a way to fight back dragons and to defeat them. As they are one of the strongest Kings of the magic world, dragons didn't dare to attack them earlier,
Dragons King was very cunning, cruel and heartless. He is empowered with all the evil powers.
He never let others live happily. His evil desire is to conquer the whole magical world by hook or crook.
One day King Cox suddenly came to visit King-Smith.
A fair, tall, well-toned muscular man wearing a black cloak having an ear to ear smile on his face entered the Smith palace.
"Hey Richie, my friend! "...he stretches his arms wide for King-Smith to hug, King-Smith, who was having lunch with his family, was surprised to hear his voice and turned his side to look at him.
"OH my god!" His eyes sparkled with happiness,
" I can't believe I am seeing you, Henry." He stood up from his chair and walked to his childhood friend King Henry Cox hugged him tightly feeling his embrace.
Every one-stop eating and turned to them,.."Hey, kids see who came to visit us?" his words are filled with happiness.
Queen Vincent welcomed him,
"Hello Henry, how are you? good to see you after so long." she gave him a side hug,
"I am fine sis, how you guys are doing?"
Henry has no sister and when Richard started dating Vincent, they three used to spend a good time, since then Henry treated Vincent as his sister, they share a sweet and warm bond,
"Hello uncle," Princes bowed him with respect in unison.
"Hey kids,"  Henry kneel down and gave both the boys a warm hug and kissed their foreheads,
"God bless you, my children," both the kids ran out of the dining room to play.
"Come, Let's have lunch." Vincent smilingly gestures him to the dining table.
"I love to taste the food sister, but sorry to say I have a purpose to visit Richard." He sounds serious and nervous this time,
Her heart skips a beat hearing his words and she worriedly looked at Richard. He winks at her trying to make her calm.
King-Smith understood Henry nervousness as he called him Richard, which Henry only called when he has something serious to talk about,
"Oh, no worries Henry, Let us go to my study," Richard smiled and put his hand on Henry's shoulder and started walking upstairs,
"Honey, Henry definitely loved to have coffee made by you." Richard sneered looking above his shoulder walking beside Henry.
"I am sorry bro, I disturbed you in between your lunch,". Henry dryly apologises for his surprise cum shock visit to his friend.
"Please bro don't apologise! Anything for you Henry!" Richard exclaimed rubbing Henry's back with his left hand
"Thanks, bro!" Henry nervously runs his hand in his hair.
both entered the study...
"Have a seat," Richard grab a chair for Henry and sit in front of him.
"What happened Henry? why are you tensed? Is everything fine there in Crystal palace?" He bombarded so many questions at Henry as Richard never saw his joyfully and humourous friend like this ever before.
He was also aware of the danger swinging like a sword on both the kingdoms but he knows well that Henry is one of the strongest and powerful wizards and won over so many evil powers...his fear grew more and more, his heart is beating faster by now,
Henry collected his words and tried to explain what going on in his head and heart.
They saw Vincent trailing in the study carrying a tray with two cups of coffee and chicken sandwiches for them.
"Sorry to disturb you guys, hope you enjoy talking with some homemade food," Vincent said placing the tray on the small centre table in front of them...
"Thanks, honey." Richard smiled.
"I wish you would have brought my dolls and Lily with you, Henry, so that I could also get a chance to meet my friend, My princes were also missing their princesses," Vincent chuckled handing the cup of coffee to Henry.
"Next time for sure sister," Henry replied calmly taking the cup of coffee from her,
Vincent sense the nervousness of the situation and asked for the leave, "Ok guys you enjoy."
"Vincent...," Henry grabbed her by the arm as she was about to move away,
Hearing her name from his mouth after years a tear of sadness rolled down her cheeks, she pushed her emotions back and wiped her tear with another hand and turned 180 degrees at him, now she understood why is he here all of sudden.
"I want you to stay as well," Henry said putting back his cup on the table Vincent took a chair next to him.
Henry sighs and started telling why he came?
"As we all know King Dragon has become the most powerful evil wizard king, we all can't defend him likewise, many kingdoms have been ruined by his attacks, moreover the ministry of magic failed to negotiate with him, hundreds of wizards lost their lives, dragons captured their kingdoms empowering Dragons territories. Evidently, dragons are still not satisfied.
"I am afraid to say this, Now they are behind the FOUR CRYSTALS OF MAGIC."
"What??" Vincent's eyes widened and she jumped off the chair in shock,
Richard moved to her and tried to calm her, "calm down Honey, let him complete,"
He made her sit again and hold her hand tightly taking a chair next to her.
"Sorry dear, I tried to handle it for long, but now I am also feeling helpless in front of the immensely powerful dragons," Henry said holding his head in his hand as if he is totally tired.
"I came here to seek a favour from you both." Henry sadly asked for a favour.
