PEACEFUL WEAPON
HALI'S POV
I leaped my feet so high and when it landed on the ground, my right arnis hit Pyro's shoulder. I beat him over and over again until the only thing he could do was to defend and defend, not fight back. I felt like he was letting me burst out of all my anger.
If he was not in the mood, he would just summon me and we would have training. This time, I was the one who ask him for extensive training. I like Pyro when I wanted silence, among my brothers, he was hush, and my ear would not be annoyed with his noise, unlike when it was Zephyrus.
I stopped hitting him with Arnis, I sat down on the grass and placed the exclusive arnis on it. It had engraved 'Alpha King of Water' on the center wood. He settled next to me, joining me to look up at the moon. It was the only thing that provide illumination in the dark surrounding of the Training Ground.
"Are you laughing at me now?" I started the conversation.
"Why would I?" His silent voice responded, lazy talking.
"You should be. Zarya already went for the Battle of the next Beta, another problem was Khal. I did everything to prevent him, but that jerk didn't stop." I scoffed in irritation as I lay my back on the grass. I used my arms as my pillow while gazing at the stars. Pyro did the same thing. We were now lying down on the dirty surface.
"What's your goal, King Water?"
My forehead formed a furrow when out of nowhere he asked me. "My goal? To have a peaceful life. If only I will born again, I will choose to be a common person, not a high born with a lot of duties and responsibilities." At least once a day, I became serious. I did not feel like teasing him or annoying him.
"Zarya and Khal have goals, too."
I automatically stare at him. He had no emotion while straightly staring at the sky. "Their goals are to be like their father… a Great Beta."
"Motherfucking yeah, Zarya… yes, I understand. But Khal? That ball didn't know how to fight." I blew a sigh of frustration. The truth is, I was worrying for them.
"Do you trust Fira?"
Another furrow formed on my forehead. Why does Fira include in the conversation?
"Yes, why are you asking?"
"If you trust her and she succeeds to become strong. Then you should trust your training with Zarya and your friendship with Khal. You should be the first one who believes in them."
Woah. If this was not a serious freaking matter, I kicked his balls and said 'you speak more than three words, what an achievement.' However, I had no strength to do that.
"Zarya grows cold-blooded now. You can't easily defeat her."

"Where's my father?" I asked Leo who was now standing at the side of the Sacred Throne Room.
"He's inside, Your Majesty."
Our father summoned all of the Elemental Alpha Kings for an important announcement. When I arrived inside, all of my brothers were in there, standing, lowering their heads to Higher King Oswald. Pyro was in the center next to him on the right side were Raiden and then Colden. I was annoyed with Colden, therefore I walked next to Zephyrus.
"Hey, Balls. You are late." Zephyrus hit me with his elbow.
"Fuck you."
"That's incest, Balls. I won't fuck you back unless there's no woman in this world一" Zephyrus' blabby mouth stopped when Raiden glared at us with his scary attractive eyes. "Don't look at me like that, King Lightning. You're so creepy."
"Silence!" Higher King Oswald shouted.
Zephyrus' mouth closed, and he acted like he was sewing his lips to avoid talking. I shook my head as I prohibited the growing chuckle threatening to let out from me.
"You are kings, act like one." Raiden's serious stare reminded us. Not just a perfectly handsome king, but also, a committed rule keeper.
"You hear that!" Higher King Oswald went towards in front of me and Zephyrus. "King Wind and King Water, if you can't respect the Sacred Throne Room, you may take your leave!" His shout was annoying the hell out of me.
"Thanks, Father." Zephyrus freaking seriously turned his back and was about to leave the room when King Oswald shouted again.
"King Wind! If you didn't stop messing around. I will order a slashes session for you!"
I bit my lips as I tried to avoid laughing, Zephyrus was so crazy. He did nt even know how to be serious. I would not winder if he would lay on the table of the Court Room while the guards are giving him slashes.
Zephyrus ran back to my side while the loudness of his laughter could be heard. "Sorry." he chuckled cutely. "I just want everybody happy. You're all serious, why not swim on the beach? And then, girl hunt? That will be super一"
"Get out!" King Oswald pointed to the door. He was massaging his forehead. He could not start a discussion because of him.
"I'm sorry! I will stop talking." Zephyrus inverted his two lips and put them inside his mouth in between the teeth.
Higher King Oswald shook his head, slowly sitting on his throne. He felt tired of Zephyrus' childish acts. "Sometimes, I wonder when did you inherit your child-like personality. Your mother is a silent woman, I act seriously in any matter. You?" He pointed at Zephyrus and then massaged his forehead in frustration. "You can't rule the Wind Pack."
"Yes!" Zephyrus jumped, showing him he was so happy that he could not rule the pack. He covered his mouth again when our father was now running out of temper.
According to the scope of my knowledge, Zephyrus was always in the Human World, specifically High Wood. It seemed like he was seeing someone there, a woman, maybe?
A second of silence before our father spoke up again. "The small community of Peaceful Weapon had gone."
I was startled. I knew about the Peaceful Weapon, they were the people of the Elemental Kingdom who were given permission to live and stand I their own as a little community. Just like offering them the freedom to choose where they want to live. They picked to be on their own.
"What happened to them, Father?" Raiden spoke, he cared about everybody. He deserved to be the next higher king.
"Black Wolves again." His gaze landed on us, one by one. "I would like to speak my special gratitude for my sons, Alpha King Of Ice, Fire, Lightning, Water and…" he was like he did not want to say Zephyrus' title.
Zephyrus wiggled his eyebrow at him. "How about me?"
"And, ah, Alpha King of Wind. My appreciation is fully bringing pride to our kingdom. Job well done for vanishing the Black Wolves Pack." A wide smile was drawn on his lips. The Ministers and other high-born people on the side part clapped their hands. For the first time, I felt I did something right in my entire life.
My stare went to my mother. She had never been proud of my achievement. She just clapped slowly with her poker face.
When will you become proud of me?
When my father talked again, I froze where I was standing. His words did not sink into my head immediately. "Special appreciation for the Alpha King of Water for saving the life of one and only heiress of the Peaceful Weapon." He gazed at the side. I followed his eyes, my mouth was barely open. "Please welcome Seraphina Hale. the princess of the Peaceful Weapon and soon to be married to the Alpha King Of Water."
