Third person's P.O.V
2350 A.DThe vast blue ocean stretched all over the horizon, coloring the world of the mid realm with its serenity and peace. The scene was truly breathtaking as it was the God's fine work and artistry that made the world of Meniscus happen.Meniscus, the only place; an object made of earth and air and fire and water, twice the sizes of the cooling moons, has sustained the growing life that the God of Man has successfully conjured.Divided into four lands, the north, east, south and the west, it had slowly flourished and turned into the marvelous state it is in now.On the northern part of the realm, situated between the Great Ice and the Varietal Sea, is the bountiful continent of Veldt. Dotted with numerous islets, it has been long painted as the precious gems of the North. One of this was the telltale paradise,most have heard from the mouth of marauders and voyager who had seen the premises, the city of Florin, land of the blossoming flowers of internal youth.On the walls that supported such bountiful city,grows a little bonny belle. A lily in the midst of roses and orchids... “Father! Mother! Look! Its the sacred lilies! The lilies have bloomed!” a little lass, no more than twelve years old, who has been atop of that hill just now, cried upon seeing the blooming flowers in the meadow, clearly in awe to see much of the sacred flowers littering the area.The girl donned in a pastel colored free flowing dress, crowned with shoulder length raven locks, almond shaped eyes with the color of like the molten gold, and sun kissed skin, the young princess was indeed a sight to behold. An exotic flair in the midst of pale roses. “Utopia! Must you be in a hurry and climb this hill so fast?, The flowers will not wilt until a week or so, my dear “ her mother had said loudly in an obvious teasing tone.Aided by her husband king, King Leroi Basutamary, the reigning leader of Florin, Queen Liliane climbed the hill in a rather slow pace. “But mother! These lilies only blooms every summer! You must climb faster! They are so beautiful!” Sweet laughter resonated in the air making the couple's heart melt and but just made them love the latter so dearly.Almost at the top of the hills, sound of hooves echoed from the forest. From the thinning tree line, emerge two young men clad in royal suit, both looking disheveled from the hasty ride to the hills. “Hey! Wait for us!” Yelled the boy in blue, raven hair wet with sweat, he was a carbon copy of the king .But the princess' eyes was not on her brother but on the boy who 's horse was white.Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.Beats her heart.What is this? She asked herself.The beating of her heart was quite erratic, sending unknown chills on her spine. Her hands flew to where the beating organ was situated, wanting to tame it but failed.Looking back at them, she gasped as her eyes met his. The color of his orbs made her mesmerized. In a place of blue eyed people, her eyes was gold, her parents has the same, it was a sight to see such rich hue.Chocolate.2361 AD The light flickered inside the young miss's room. It was as if the light itself is mocking the dark haired princess as she begrudgingly flipped the page of her etiquette book.Hmphh! If it wasn't for that rascal of a brother, she wouldn't be on this punishment, reading such boring book for several days now. Her bitter thoughts only fueled her irritation as she angrily flipped another leaf of the poor book on her hand which has been receiving the wrath's end of a really scorned woman.It's been a week since that little incident in the library happened. She was having a great time being surrounded by the books which has successfully muted the happy tune below the grand hall where a party was still on going. She was halfway through the book when her annoying brother decided that it was a perfect time to disturb her. “Hey, little Utoh! What are you doing here all alone? Are you supposed to be having your time below with the o
The room became quiet. Everyone was surprised.“Oh well father, that’s heavy!” Utopia unconsciously said. Her informal speech seems to awaken everybody inside the room but no one had mind as it was true! The petition for the ladies to be present at such event is so overwhelming. Aside from having multiple wives, the statuses of women below the royal family are one step behind the men alive. That is what Utopia can't help but question. It was absurdity of the past ancestors to write such rule on the codes of fleur.“Can this little one ask you a question, my uncle, king? “ the presumptuous girl, Csilla asked.How many times do they need to remind this girl of her position in the royal family?! The servants on the side can only shake their heads in resignation.They remembered the day the first prince had announced that he had sired a daughter from a lowly person. The late king and queen would still have been beaming even if th
Her head was aching.Like a hammer forcefully hitting the nail's head, seemingly trying to let out a burden.Groaning, she was greeted by the familiar drapes of her bedroom as she tried to adjust her vision to see things clearly. Massaging her head, she recalled the previous happenings she remembered before passing out.“...princess of the City of Florin, in the country stated, shall wed my son.”She was to be married!The coldness again crept down her spine as she has no intentions of getting married but she can't afford to defy the lord's order. Thinking all about it, she let out a strangled cry as she fought her tears that pooled in her eyes. She shall not be bullied! She just can't be!Drowned on her thoughts, her parents, along with her brother and his fiancée came.“ how are you fairing, Utoh? “ unlike their previous exchange, the question that Lady Kleir was genuine as she saw the distraught figure of her friend. She can 't help but to feel sy
The latter was still silent. It was a rare happening for him to shut up.“What is your problem?” she asked him one more time, clearly not used to seeing his brother sulking.“I think I made a mistake.” He finally said the moment that were in front of her room.“You always do mistake bro, don’t joke around. Like get to the point already “she retorted as she went inside the spacious place and zoomed into the far corner where her stacks of poison are stashed secretly.I guess I need to give some sugar infested poison to my brother.Sighing loudly, she took three big pouches containing velvety chocolate that she brought to her room to the cushions near the window overlooking the whole flower garden near the entrance of the palace.“So, how am I, your most trusted sister can help you in your dilemma, brother?”“I, uhmm, I think I have been quite unruly to your friend.” He murmured, the embarrassment was clear as his face was so red, it was almost comical.Trying n
Utopia stood frozen on my spot. Her eyes never left his. His eyes, they felt colder now. Not like the sunny version she have met years ago.A hard pinch jolted her back to the reality and the faint voice of her father greeting the princes. She tore her gaze at him and look at Dayne, who’s much closer to her Kleir at the moment.."Are you alright? You're zoning out!!" Dayne whispered at her side, subtly pinching her again but a little bit gentle than the last one..Utopia smiled at her awkwardly, not knowing what to say as she was still digesting that he was here again."Welcome to our City, Princes of Veldt. I would like to introduce my family, my queen, Crown Prince Elysian, I know that you knew him already, and my youngest, Princess Utopia." Father said with his proud tone. Utopia really love the fact that Father is proud to have them. The princes shook hands with her brother and exchange few kind words with her mother. While they were busy with the visitor
City of ThrasOne week before The lights coming from the window kiss the dark room where he am now. Slowly, the hues of darkness was turned into a shining masterpiece of thousands of books piled upwards. Curves of the present furnitures hissed and become more noticeable. The specks of gold that litter on the marble floor shined and shimmer at the first sight of light. Even the velvety maroon walls looked magnificent. It was all looking lovely.A stark contrast to the gloomy feelings he have harbored in his heart. the emptiness that wallows in the depths and the coldness that surrounds the fragile organ he came to loathe. He sighed, burying himself deeper in the cushioned seat he was sitting. wallowing in the despair he have for the years. the ache. the longing of seeing her beautiful smile. "Xenoooon!" Marteen’s shrilly voice filled the empty corridor outside his office and the abrupt banging of the door signifies his excitement to what he is abo
Upon seeing the palace on the top of the hill, he felt a shudder lingered through his being. A gnawing feeling resides on his stomach, churning with nervousness on the fact that I am back. here, He was back here again. for her.the carriage sped up along the well worn path that leads to the town just at the foot of the castle. The harbor he knew was still colorful as always. Birds of any kind flew in a distance. some were perching at the top of the merchants' store, observing the busy lives of humans. the heady aroma of the exotic spices clouded his senses, making me closed his eyes and heaved a deep breathe, taking in the smell of foreign lands. Sighing, he look at the people inside the carriage, Peter and the second prince of Verde Oro were busy writing at the piece of parchment paper, Xavier checking his face on that handy vanity he always have, murmuring how attractive he was. The other were on the following carriage that the Ki
"Good morn, young princess" the folks greeted the young child whose merrily skipping her way towards the hill on the northern part from the palace ."Hello, good morning!" Was her giddy reply.The crowd's heart soften at the girl as they look at her with love.The child itself was sweet and love the folks surrounding the palace as she was always outside and mingling with them.It was five years ago when the old monarchs decided to stepped down from the throne and passed it to their second child .For those five years, the folks of Florin was grateful for such understanding king that reigned upon them. Patiently listening to their dilemmas, setting fair judgments and rules that benefit them.Now, seeing the skipping child, they hearts had whisper short prayers of blessings and thanksgiving to the god of man towards the growing family of the monarchs.Hearing rhythmic pit pats of trotting hooves, they looked at the royal carriage.
