The day finally came. The day where you were crowned Queen at only twenty-four. A day you didn't want to come, but it had to come wether you liked it or not because there was no one else to pass the throne to. You were an only child and the only surviving member of the Royal line after your parents passing not but two weeks ago.

It was unexpected, and it left you a mess, emotionally and physically. You needed hope, your people needed hope. They were quite kind people and supported you as much as they could. They tried to raise you from mourning, but they could only do so much.

Eventually you gathered yourself together and claimed what was yours. You were a kind, gentle, and wise Queen. You were the peaceful one that spent one and one time with her people in their community. You even let them come into the castle when needed since it was quiet large. You often were seen wearing flowers in your garments, jewellery, or hair. Your people also were wise, but they were also fierce to defend the people and things they loved.

                   ~•~•~•~
You were sitting on your throne contemplating whether you should accept the Wofejet (wolf•eh•jet) People's alliance when one of your guards stormed in. With him he seemed to forcefully drag a man clad in armour with a helmet on.

"Flous, (fl•ow•s- like you're saying flower without the er adding a s instead) why are you dragging this poor man into my throne room? This is not how you treat guests even if they might be our foe." You rose from your seat slowly and gracefully walking to you're claimed top guard who might have been hot headed in just the slightest.

"I'm sorry your majesty. Forgive me." He bowed his head.

"Flous, you need not bow to me. Also you've known me since I was a child. Y/n will do just fine as it always has. Now  both of you come along with me and sit down. Ah lovely. Flous, please continue your story of our guest."

"Of course y/n. I found him close to the castle. When I approached him, I asked why he was here. He claims to be your Knight. However he wears the symbol of our enemy Hyreda. (Hy•rhe•da) He said that he was captured by them. He was The Winter Knight, however he made his escape. The people of Wofejet helped him and for a while; he was a scout for them given the title of White Wolf. Now he has come back. He says your kingdom was his birthplace, and that he would like a place here."

You were shocked. This was the Winter Knight and the White Wolf. You'd never met him, but you had heard stories.

"Thank you Flous. If you'd please let me speak with this man alone; I'd kindly appreciate it."

"But y/n what if he hurts you."

"I can handel myself Flous. Go ahead get some supper."

He nodded and went on his way. You watched as he left then looked back at your visitor.

"Follow me sir. I would like to get you into something more comfortable, something of your people. Get you out of the armor of people who took you as their slave."

You lead him to the tailor's area and looked for a nice outfit. "There, now you won't have that symbol on you anymore. Now go back behind those curtains and change. You can come out when you're finished."

"Are you married m'lady?"

You looked down to the ring on your finger and you sighed. "No, no I'm not. I suppose you could say I am taken though. My heart belongs to a man who I have no clue as to where he is." You played with the ring that had been given to you maybe six or seven years ago wondering where your love was, or even if he was alive.

"Oh, I see. On another subject of matter, I'm not sure if I'm ready to show myself to you my Queen..." He raised up his left arm trying to scratch the back of his neck. You noticed his arm and remembered.

"Your arm... They did that to you didn't they?"

"Yes. They cut it off and made me become their machine. Their technology is advanced, though it is not as advanced as it is here in Seaocea. (Sea•oce•ah)"

"I... I'm sorry to bring this upon you. How about you go on and change and I'll ask Sharlene (like shark) to dispose of your old armor. I'll have Hameret (like hammerhead shark) to make you new armor and a new arm."

He was fixing to change when he paused turning around. "Thank you
y/n."

There was something about that voice. Despite it being muffled by his helmet, it seemed all too familiar. It seemed familiar yet foreign at the same time.

"I'm dressed." He walked out looking like a true Seaoceaian, but he still had his helmet on.

"Why is your helmet still on? If I may?"

He lowered his head sighing as if he knew you wouldn't give up on him taking the thing off. "Yes m'lady."

You approached him with haste eager to see what the White Wolf looked like. You placed each hand on the sides of his helmet keeping them there momentarily as you stared at the slits imagining his eyes. Slowly you removed it and when it was over his head, you got a look at his face. Upon seeing his face, the shock caused the helmet to slip out your hands.

You gasped taking a step back and your mind took you back to when you were a child.

"I'll show you y/n. I'll become a Knight. I will become a Knight of legend. I promise you I will. My story will last on though my body will eventually fade as my soul goes to heaven." The little boy swung his imaginary sword in the air before chasing the little you. He and you both giggled as you continued to play.

Not some years later....

"I... I don't want you to go. I don't want you to leave me alone." You tried to grab him as he mounted his horse.

"My parents are already gone y/n. All I have left is you."

"Then don't leave me. I need you." You screamed almost pulling off his boot.

"I need you too, but I told you I was to become a Knight. I promised you. I want to learn so that I can come back to you with knew intellect and skill. I don't care if I become a Knight of legend or not anymore. All I want is to be your Knight. You and I both know that one day you will have to become Seaocea's new Queen. I know you can protect yourself, but it would ease me to be able to stand by your side and protect you until my dying breath. I promise I will return, and when I do not only do I want to be your friend, I want to be your Knight. However I think there might be one thing I'd want more than both of those. Title to either of our names or none at all for those matter to me not, I would like but only one. Your husband."

He jumped off the horse momentarily to kneel down before you. He pulled out a golden ring that had roses embedded in the band. "My princess of the Oceans and flowers alike, will you marry me one day when I return."

"Yes. Yes I will one day marry you." He put the ring on your finger and picked you up spinning you around as he kissed you for the first and last time. When he placed you down, he mounted the horse again.

"Just promise me you won't die. I know we're technically not married yet, but I don't want to become a widow."

"You'll never see that day my flower, I promise."

"James? My James Barnes?"

"Hello my flower, I've made it back to you. You're my home, you're my love, you're my wife if you'd still have me?"

You ran to him squeezing the air out of his lungs until you let him go. "Yes I'm always your wife. Oh... One more thing... Well two... Well... Maybe three... You know what... There's a lot more, but at least let me do those three. "

You kissed him with all the love you had saved from the years he was gone. "That was one."

"Can more kisses be two and three?"

"No they can't James. Two is a proposal of my own. Will you rule by my side as Seaocea's King?"

"I will as long as you're by my side." He firmly stated.

"Thank goodness. Three. Kneel."

"I've already proposed y/n, but I will do it again. I'd do it a thousand times."

"That's not what I'm referring too my love know kneel."

He smiled kneeling as you asked. You walked to where your ceremonial sword was in its case taking it out as you held onto the hilt with one hand and let the blade lay flat on your other hand as you walked back to him.

"You said that upon your arrival, you would be my Knight. Do you still hold this to be true?"

He looked up, "I do"

"Do you vow to protect me and our people till your dying breath?"

"I vow"

"Do you vow to never leave my side so that we may only be for each other loyal to each other?"

"I vow"

"Do you vow to not let these titles and powers influence your mind?"

"I vow"

"Well then I now dub you my Knight. My Knight in shining armor. My survivor. The champion of my heart."

You placed the sword on both of his shoulders to properly Knight him.

"Rise my Knight for you have done your kingdom nobely."

He rose coming closer to you and held onto your waist. "I never broke my promise. It took me this long, but the reward is that you're in my arms again, and I'm never leaving your side. That is my new promise to you. The only thing that will ever break that is when we are old of age, or God decides to take us home sooner. Either way we will be reunited in heaven. For now let us just begin to have our own adventures and write our own history."

You nuzzled into his chest sighing in content. "I'd like that a lot my love."

I hope you enjoyed it. I just want to say those pictures aren't mine, I just made the collage through PicsArt. Anyways that's the only reason my username is with the collage. Anyway. Hopefully you did enjoy and maybe I'll be able to write some more very soon. Also a lot of things entered my mind as I was writing this that inspired me to sort of Easter egg them in here in a different way so if you think you know one, comment it. Who knows, maybe you'll find something similar to another thing I didn't even think about.
