The rushing sound of the water fountain brought a sense of calmness to her heart as she laid on the soft grass of the gardens. Her mind not thinking of the grass stains she may get or the mess it would make in her hair. Her feet barefoot as a gentle smile appeared on her face. She could hear the sound of the birds in the trees and the faint splashing of the silver fishes swimming in the small pond close by. As she breathed in the smell of the roses in the garden she felt her mind luring her to sleep.
"Celesti!" A voice yelled out approaching close from the other side of the fountain.
"Celesti!" The voice called out once again in a more relieved tone as a worried father spotted her daughter laying on the grass. Sitting up she turned to her father with a sleepy expression. His eyes gazing in awe at her adorable daughter, thanking the celestial gods for gifting him not only his beautiful queen but his adorable princess. His eyes almost tearing he couldn't believe how fast his adorable princess had grown.
"Father?" Celesti questioned with an awkward smile as she watched tears fill her father's eyes. Even though he was known as a stern ruler. Inside the palace walls, he was a royal softie. Finding joy in showering his beloved Empress with love and spoiling his five children.
Celesti was born the oldest daughter and middle child after her two older brothers. Her eldest brother and crown prince was known to the empire and others.
A prodigy son who shined like the stars. Celestia's star of strength and justice, Sirius. The brightest star. Skilled not only with sword and combat but also grew with the knowledge far beyond the elders of the kingdom. At the age of six, he was already mastering the knowledge of scholars. As the years went on scholars and elders would look to the prince with the trouble of the empire. Whether it was drought problems, harvest problems, money, or laws. The crown prince could find a solution. At the age of fifteen, the young prince began attending hearings with their Emperor father.
Her second eldest brother had his own calling, named the burning star of Celestia, Rigel. Known for his mastered skills in combat planning and swordsmanship. Leading over Celestia's prized army. At age four he had already picked up the sword. Ten years later at fourteen, he had already won against the top king's guards and the captain of the guard.
With the knowledge and the strength of the two princes, Celestia strives to become a powerful and feared empire. Becoming Celestia's pride Shield and sword.
Celesti's younger siblings were twins, the young princess Seren and the youngest prince Lupus. The two were the sweet treasures of the royal family. Seren the adventurous child full of energy child who looked after her younger twin Lupus. Lupus the sweet, quiet child.
All children of the Celestia royal family were beloved by their citizens. Yet no one loved them more than their own father and mother.
"Celesti!I don't want daddy's little princess to grow up so fast!" Celesti's father cried out tears filling his eyes. Jumping shocked at her father's reaction she soon met out a smile going over to touch his shoulder.
"Its okay, papa. You'll still have the second biggest piece in my heart."
"What?! And whose your first?!"
"Why mama of course." At the sight of her gentle smile, his face soften with a small sigh.
"Celesti, I just want you to be happy." Smiling she reached overtaking a hold of her father's hands in her own.
"I know, and I'll be my happy. With this union both our empires will remain in peace."
