Fire God Of The Fire Island - Season 1 - Episode 2

☆☆

Kate had to roll her eyes toward the ceiling. It never ceased to annoy her each & every time Kira made her grand & showy entrance. It was almost like it was impossible for her to simply enter a room.
With a solid air of confidence, the tick heels of her black boots clicked against the marble flooring as she made her way leisurely to her ‘Throne’ at the head of the large wodden table where the other members of Council were. She was wearing her usual clothing consisting of white stockings that came to her thighs and a black and red tunic that was tied around her waists with a white sash, the open side-dress reached her knees exposing a fare amount of her fresh legs and sides.

Her flaming reddish orange hair reached past her knees and was held in thick onyx black ribbon, criss-crossing several times before coming to a bow at the end. Flicking a flame coloured bang from her golden eyes, Kira finally lowered herself into her seat and crossed her legs sexily before her as she leaned her elbow casually on the arm of her throne. She then rested her chin in her palm and proceeded to look incredibly bored, even before the meeting had ever begun.

“Let’s get this over and done with” Kira all but demanded as she closed her eyes and looked positively irritated. “Unlike some people I could mention quite easily, I have very important and constructive things to do. The Island won’t run itself, you know?”

kate bit her lips together. Kira actually believe that she spent all day doing nothing but sit around and twiddle her thumbs. And nothing anyone said was going to convince her cousin otherwise.

Breathing sharply through her nose, Kate prayed that this meeting will proceed quickly.

Thankfully, the meeting proceeded smoothly after that and Kate listened silently as the elders around her began to prattle off the recent harvest estimates, the incline of births and the unfortunate deaths that had happened over the last week. But soon, Kate found it hard to concentrate due to the incessant tapping of a certain Princess’s finger against the arm of her chair.

Kira had only been the Princess of this Island for a few months and yet she was acting like she was the greatest ruler this land had ever had or will ever have again.

And what made her behaviour even more frustrating was the fact that her parents, Fire King Jusiah and Fire Queen Nuri were two of the kindest people she had met.

They both passed away under mysterious circumstances and Kira was made the new ruler almost immediately, by her command.

How these two beautiful people could have a daughter that had grown up to be so selfish, so pretentious she could not, nor would ever understand.

It was true shame how fair this kingdom had fallen in such a short amount of time.

Of course, she could never utter those words aloud, especially not with her cousin or any of her advisors within hearing range. Peace Keeper or not, she would be punished by being sent to the dungeon for a set amount of time.

She has already spent her time there for supposedly defying her commands and she didn’t particulary want to do that again. She was supposed to spend an entire week down there but thankfully Elder Fudo pulled a few strings for her and she only spent a couple of nights in the underground cells.

Kate was quickly pulled back to the matter at hand when she heard something about a request being made on the behalf of the farming community at the base of Obsidian Volcano, asking that they be granted the opportunity to build and fix the roads leading from the harvesting fields to the silos further down the Volcano’s side.

Kira gave an uncouth snort and waved her hand demissively. “Rejected” she said. “They’ve been doing it for years so they can keep doing it. Nothing is easy in life and they are no exception”.

“You cannot be serious” Kate found herself saying a little louder than she had intended to, which immediately earned her a possitively glare from the Fire Princess.

“Are you questioning my decisions again, cousin?”

Kate hid a wince at the venom that was praticially oozing off each syllable. “But this is not what the people of this Island want”

“They want what they get” Kira retorted harshly as she uncrossed her legs and rose to her feet. She then began to stalk her way over to Kate, pausing to linger behind her as she folded her arms under her bust and stare down at her. “You cannot expect me to bend to the whim of the people. I have an Island to run, you are such a simple-minded fool. Why do you bother to attend such meetings? You’re going to die one day, any way. And after you die, I will continue to rule” Kira continued, flipping her hair with a flick of her wrist “And, as legend has it, the Fire God will descend upon the Island and take me as his wife”. She then walked back to her seat, her head held high “You see, Kate, you are simply in the way of my destiny”

“..” Kate said nothing as it was all true.

So for the rest of the meeting, Kate sat quietly.
