</div><br/>As a child, times were simple. There was no need to worry about the ugly parts of the world as long as things were peaceful. Childish innocence hid the truth of the world. Like the fact that their two countries weren't really at peace. His own country, ruled by ice dragons, was a much bigger kingdom than her own. Peace was just a farce and it was only a matter of time before his father decided to strike. And yet, he had no clue. His days were spent playing with the phoenix princess. Days full of laughter and silly promises, it was something he had cherished even as an adult. Times weren't so simple now. He was a grown man now and he had a very important task that had been given to him by his father, the king of his kingdom. War had broken out quite some time ago and the dragons were having trouble subduing the phoenixes. They were a lot more feisty and clever than originally thought. No matter, he would change things for the best. He would break the stalemate and win the war. At least, that's what he told himself.<br/><br/>Caius was a handsome man. He stood at an impressive height of six foot five inches. He had long snow white hair and piercing ice blue eyes. His skin was pale and smooth. He was truly a stunning sight to behold. He had been beautiful as a child but he had really come into himself as an adult. The prince was confident that he could push forward and break the stalemate. That was why he had gone ahead of the army he had been left in charge of and snuck into phoenix territory. He was rash and he knew it, but he couldn't be bothered to care. His father was counting on him and Caius was not the type to want to disappoint his father. Not when the king expected greatness from his only son.<br/><br/>He hadn't gone far into the phoenix territory when he spotted his target. There she was, surrounded by her men and looking just as beautiful as the day he had last seen her. Honestly, he hadn't expected to actually run into the princess, but it was for the best. He knew that her cleverness was a big part of why they had yet to conquer her people. They had grown up as children but it had been a long time since they had last been able to be around each other and communicate. She was nothing more than a stranger to him, even though a small part of him still remembered the days of bliss spent with her as a child. He couldn't fully push her out of his heart but he had definitely tried. It had not been easy being told that he could no longer play with the phoenix princess. At first, he had pitched a fit but his father had not put up with it. He had begrudgingly accepted that he could no longer see his friend again. It had hurt, honestly. To be told he could no longer play with her and that she was now an enemy. It was difficult to adjust to but he had managed. Now he had pushed her out of his heart, or so he thought.<br/><br/>He wasn't expecting the wave of feelings to surge at the mere sight of her and he swallowed thickly from his hiding place. He didn't want to attack her, but he knew that he needed to. They were no longer children and they were at war. It could not be helped. He stood up and wasted no time in shifting to his dragon form, releasing a roar of warning before he took to the skies and started his assault. Ice spewed from his mouth as he started to freeze any in his path. He was determined to win this war, even if it meant taking out the person who had once meant so much to him.<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
