Diana entered the kingdom she no longer recognized.
Silence cloaked the streets.People watched her from windows—
as if they saw a ghost…or a legend come to life.
She said nothing.
She passed through alleyways,with whispers trailing her footsteps—
until she reached the palace.
Inside, Liliana waited in the throne hall.
Before either could speak—
suddenly… the air shifted.
A soft light filled the hall.
Then, their mother's image appeared…surrounded by a gentle glow.
The mother spoke, her voice like a dream:
— "Diana…you were the original soul of this land.
You made the flowers breathe.
But a root alone is not enough…without a shadow to balance its growth."
She looked to Liliana:
— "And you… were part of that soul.
Your love, your jealousy, your pain…they were all part of life's fabric.
But when you separated… the flower died."
The spirit paused,then whispered:
— "For life to return…the two souls must reunite."
Silence fell.Diana looked at her sister.
She didn't see a throne or weakness—
she saw her other half.
Liliana closed her eyes,gasped—and a tear fell from her cheek.
She said, voice trembling:
— "I was scared…
Diana stepped closer.
She looked into her sister's eyes and said:
— "I hated you because you took everything…
But I didn't realize… I was bleeding you out of my own soul
I was jealous…I didn't know you were hurting too."
They stepped closer…and embraced.
Suddenly—
the palace shook.
The withered kingdom bloomed again.
Colors returned.The air breathed lifefor the first time in years.
White flowers began to bloom...from soil long believed to be dead.
Diana exited the palace with her sister—
and found the peoplegathered in the great square.
They clapped.They cheered.
They chanted her name:
"Diana! Diana! Diana!"
She raised her hand,pointed to Liliana and said:
— "I am not the only reason.
Yes, I returned…but without our unity,the kingdom would never have bloomed again."
Then, she walked alonetoward the far end of the square—
where the king was waiting.
He looked at her,gently held her hand,
and quietly kissed it.
Then,he lifted her face…and kissed her lips—as if the whole world pausedfor that moment.
At that same time,in a place far away…
The first layer of ice meltedin the Kingdom of Ice.
And from within the melt…a flower bloomed.
The first flowerto ever grow on icy land.
The two kingdoms had united.
Diana married the kingin a celebrationlike no other in either kingdom.
And over time,they had twins:
▪️ A girl with pure white hair,her beauty otherworldly—like she was born from ice and light.
▪️ And a boy,who looked just like Liliana—her eyes, her smile,her voice,even her way of speaking.
Diana looked at them in their cradle and said:
— "The same mistakes won't happen again…not this time."
And so,Diana was no longer exiled.
Liliana was no longer a lonely queen.
Together…
they became the new source of life.
Two blossoms… finally blooming on shared soil
