For reasons of his own Black decided to move on and leave the VoR in the care of Alessa. Black continued to visit the VoR even after he resigned his throne. Alessa then depended on her strong family members to help her get things done and run smoothly. She also looked to her bonded families for help when things were rough.
One day shortly before Alessa and Black's child was born, a messenger came to the VoR castle. This messenger informed Alessa that Black had died. Alessa was heart broken, but still kept the VoR running. After struggling to keep the family running while mourning Black, Alessa realized that she could not handle the VoR alone and decided that the VoR tags should be laid to rest with Black. She closed the doors of the VoR castle and walked away to give birth and raise Black's Daughter alone.
Two years later Celia Magic had her second birthday and Alessa decided it was time to return to their home. She packed her daughters things and they where on their way back to VoR Castle. Upon entering the land she had found many things had changed. Alessa happened across an old friend and Ally Ryan Mercury. She talked with him of all the things that have happend and explained that she needed a king to help rule over VoR. Knowing that Ryan had been a King she asked him to be King of VoR. Ryan excepted and the two worked together to keep the VoR strong.
As time went on Ryan became more interested in other things and spent less time with VoR. Alessa held a meeting to discuss the King's behavior and during the meeting Ryan attacked one of Alessa's friends and loyal followers. She decided that he had to leave and that she would run the clan alone. Her members where strong and they would support her and help when needed.
Again Alessa ran the Kingdom alone. Although she had help from those who where most faithful she could see that things where begining to fall apart. It was merely months after Ryan was de-throned and many members had left to venture on their own. A sickness fell over the kingdom killing off many of those who had chosen to stay and when it had finally passed there where but a few people left. During this time Alessa recieved word that her love and former King of VoR, Black Magic had been resurected. With the Illness consuming the lives of those around her she decided that Celia should go to live with her father for a while. Alessa sent her daughter, now three years old, to the DDM Castle where Black Magic was said to be residing. Meanwhile the kingdom continued to dwindle until Alessa, The royal advisor, High Priestess, a Necromancer, two Healers, three Knights, and five Servants where all that remained. Together these few members cleaned out the kingdom, burning everything that the sickness had touched and cleaning everything else. This brought them together and Alessa found herself looking at her dearest friends for a King. One man stood out among them and she had planed to ask him at the next meeting, if he would be the King. Before the meeting was held the Necromancer had disappeared. It was months before she began to look again. Alessa was begining to thing she was cursed.
Five months and 16 days later Alessa held a meeting to announce the new King. She had convinced Alex to take the position although he was perfectly happy just being a royal guard. She had known him for years and through the other kings and near misses, sickness and all he had been there for her. Alex was the perfect choice for that reason and the fact that he never wanted the position. This told Alessa that Alex was not power hungry and looking to take over or control her or the Kingdom. The family was excited for Alex and welcomed him as King. A year and a half went by and although they had a few near misses with War the Kingdom was doing well. Celia returned home now a beautiful and intelligent 5 year old. She was riding a pegasus and her dove Ariel was resting on her knee. Things were going well for Alessa and the Kingdom continued to grow. Celia lived with her mother for a few months and then stayed with her father for a few months learning all there was to know about both kingdoms. She also learned from her parents how to be a good leader.
VoR stayed fairly small and close knit in the years following remaining more as a family than a clan. Celia was growing up and in the spring of her 13th year she was named Crowned Princess of VoR. Unfortunately within a year of Celia becoming Crowned Princess she was forced into the position of Second Leader of the Kingdom. The King, Alex had been working through a bond agreement with a nearby Kingdom when the discussion turned Violent and Alex was mortally wounded. The King lived for 4 days after the attack and died in his chambers at VoR Castle. Somewhere between her 13th and 14th Birthday Celia found herself a co-ruler of an entire kingdom. The presure of ruling a kingdom on top of the sadness of the death of the King was hard for Celia to deal with but she handled it with grace.
By the age of 16 Celia was named Crowned Princess of DDM, her fathers clan and now was residing at both Castles and working with both her fathers kindom (DDM) and her mothers (VoR). It was her good fortune to have a pet unicorn which could get her from one kingdom to the other much quicker than any plain horse.
Now six years after the death of Alex, the VoR has a new King. Thorne was crowned as the new King in the spring of the 21st year of the VoR. Many people have come and gone and even through all of the hardships VoR has come out on top and will remain a strongly bonded family.
