Crystal Saga Series 2 3-Escalation and 4-Renewals

My name is Astrid. I am the Queen of the kingdom of Seaside. My kingdom is on the side of the planet Akura that tends to be under cloud cover. I have ruled this kingdom for two decades; the first decade was calm and peaceful and my reign was full of joy. I became Queen just after I achieved puberty; I have no memories prior to that time. More about that later. The second decade saw much sadness and torment. A kingdom to the north named Brimstone had a King named Lucas. He never contacted or bothered me until the second decade of my reign when he discovered some ancient volumes of shadow magic that made him both powerful and egocentric. My name is Flora. I am the Queen of the kingdom of Timbere. My kingdom is mostly composed of forests. We have aerial pathways that connect different common areas. I love how green my kingdom is; it's a very special place. Technically my title is Queen Flora III. Like Queen Astrid my kingdom is on the side of the planet usually covered with clouds. I have ruled this kingdom for two decades and I have a daughter who is coming of age soon. At one point I anticipated that she would succeed me and I would retire but everything has changed.
