I don't think anybody on here actually reads the series, but that's okay. I figured since no one bothers visiting my fanfiction.net page I would post all of my fanfics here.
Part 1
It had been a year since Gregor had left the Underland. Things had generally been quiet down there since he’d returned to the Overland, except for a brief war where the Cutters were essentially destroyed. Celebration was a much more common event in Regalia, nowadays. And in the preparation for wedding, everything was pleasantly chaotic and everyone was excited. Except for the queen herself…
Luxa sighed. I would be ghastly inappropriate for the queen to attend a wedding alone. Especially someone, who, was undeniably lower status-wise than she was. For Dulcet was to wed Horatio the next day and Luxa feared that she would be going without an escort. She would have been asked of course, but it was considered terribly rude to ask a queen to a wedding, and Luxa had absolutely zero interest in asking someone else. Just as she was debating actually not attending, she felt a wing on her shoulder.
“Don’t fret Luxa, you won’t be going alone,” Aurora spoke softly, “I will be with you. As will Hazard and Vikus.” Luxa nodded but it didn’t make her any more cheerful.
“And I’m sure you could still ask some-“
“No,” Luxa interrupted her, “I am fine. Attending without an escort might be better anyway. Vikus will need my attention. He has not been on many outings lately.” And with that she climbed on to Aurora’s back and they flew off.

I know, it's short. So is the second part.
Part 2
“Luxa,” Hazard whispered, “Luxa, you’ve got to hurry and wake up, you have only an hour to get ready now.”
Luxa rolled over and opened one eye. There was Hazard, at her bedside, tapping her wrist gently, “Sorry Luxa, but you’ve been asleep for hours and you have to get ready now,” He said.
Luxa groggily sat up, “Alright, go and help bring Vikus downstairs, I’ll be there soon.”
Hazard left her room then, and Luxa couldn’t help but smile about how much he’d grown since they’d first met.
There was joyous shouting that could be heard from out of the opened doors to her balcony, and Luxa tried very hard to be happy with them. But is was hard, for she felt the similar type of gloom that she usually felt during warfare, but at least when one was gloomy during war, there was always peace to look forward to. If she was gloomy during peace, then what was there to look forward to?
She wondered as she slipped into a mauve gown whether or not she would be expected to make a speech at the reception or something. She hoped not, usually public speaking was fine but today the idea made her self conscious and quite irritated.
And then, just as she was about to go join her friends downstairs, a thought came to her. And she raced over to the drawer next to her bed and pulled out something Gregor had given her. It was a picture, taken from an Overland invention, which he had called a camera, and it showed she and Gregor happily dancing together during Hazard’s birthday celebration.
Without a second thought, Luxa slipped the photo into her dress, thinking that it might ease the gloom a bit if Gregor could be at the wedding with her. Even if he wasn’t there in the flesh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mia should I lock it since the story is complete?

Leave it for a little bit because people don't normally look at locked threads. If a comments thread isn't started about your story then you can lock it.
