A shadowy figure stood over a wounded Sakura. A large sword in hand an evil grin his cloak billowing in the wind. He thrusted it down in a great force and...

Sakura woke in a cold sweat just another one of her nightmares. "You okay milady?"

"Just a bad dream."

"Shall I draw the curtains?"

"Please."

The sunlight filtered into the room. The Cherry Blossoms were in full bloom that signified early spring which indicated Magic Sorcery's festival of the Cherry Blossoms. A party that thousands of tourists and several leaders flocked too. Sakura was also getting married to the love of her life. She dressed and went down stairs to be greeted by her financè.

"Morning!"

"Morning Highness."

"Syao, were getting married soon. You can call me Sakura you know."


"You look tired, are you okay?"

"I'm okay. Don't worry I'm fine, I want this to be the best Festival and Wedding we can ever have. You go on and prepare, and I will as well. Have the invitations been sent?"

"Yes your highness, every leader shall find them in their inbox, mailbox."



YOU ARE INVITED

To attend the 158th Oka Festival in Oka, Magic Sorcery. You are welcome to bring your family members along as well as pets! Upon arrival you will be given a traditional kimono and will be able to enjoy the festivities. We hope to see you here.

Yours,
Sakura N. Kinimoto
Empress

Seshiro, for long he had planned his revenge against the Empress. He sat alone in a prison cell, waiting for the moment to escape. He was knocked from his position of power by the girl he took it from! How could have he grown so careless, but now was his chance.

EMPRESS TO MARRY

The headlines of a yet-to-be-published paper, read. This was his glorious chance to overthrow the one who overthrew him. He could care less if he died trying. Seshiro was going to succeed. He broke free from the prision that held him now he was going to kill the Empress on the day of her wedding, on the day of celebration.

"Your majesty, please don't fall asleep in the bath." Her chamber maid Yuukiko said.

Sakura shook her head awake after nearly falling asleep. "This wedding and everything else, has me pretty stressed I guessed." Sakura said. "Speaking of which any RSVP's?"

"None yet but don't fear Highness. It will be great."

"You're right, the festival will go on. Still I crave the attention for the country. Kero knows we need it. Good for the economy."

"You are such a beloved ruler Highness, everyone will pull their weight."

"You're right."

"And I'm looking forward to the wedding. Why the big secret though?"

"It's going to be a surprise."

"You're Highness, this arrived."

"Oh how sad, they can't attend. Well no matter, send them a gift basket and tell I appreciate their response. "

"As you wish."

Sakura had the strangest feeling of being followed but it was probably just her imagination. So far no other responses from anyone.
