Royal Twins

The king and queen were delighted when they had twins, a boy and a girl. The two children were loved and cared for most dearly. As they grew up, it became difficult for the kingdom to decide who would be most apt to take the throne. They both commanded respect, but in different ways. The boy was proud, noble, and gallant and he was extremely responsible. The girl was powerful, gifted, and almost feral in nature. She recognized potential in others and helped them to unlock it. The crown, however, was eventually placed on the head of the boy. He was considered the most trustworthy. His actions could be predicted and he was more inclined to listen to his advisers. 

This action divided the twins and caused the heart of the girl to freeze into ice. She had wanted to be the queen since she was a child. Her brother lacked her ambition and her power lust. She eventually set out to take the throne for herself. 

The power struggle between the two created a storm that reduced the kingdom to dust. In the end, the girl had won. But she had no one to rule over and no one to call her own.
