"It's all set now princess Sunni, you can lock your aim" said a bald, ebony tand skinned man, who had a body built solid as a rock.
A slender tall Blondie who's skin glittered with stunning brightness, under the soothing sun. she had on a skinny jeans and a t-shirt and had her hair pulled up in ponytail. An arrow bag was crossed over her shoulder, and a bow stood accross. Her name was sunni princess of the northern kingdom where the power of fire and thunder lies.
Sunni nodded towards him and took off her bow, locking her eyes on the target which was 100 miles away.She drew out an arrow and pulling with an enthusiastic strength. Taking in a deep breath, as she released the arrow ,while battering her lashes once. Both her and the instructor watched as the arrow flew across more like in a slow motion, hitting the the heart.
"Yes!" she jumped
"I can't believe you did it. That was amazing" he said looking all amazed.
"Yea" she turned moody
He smiled slightly understanding her predicament" if only the king could see the warrior you are. You are an outstanding gift from heaven. I bet you could take down a whole army, but yet he doesn't want to see it. But you don't have to worry princess Sunni one of these days he'll see you for who you truly are and accept the perfect gift in you"
She shrugged
"Thanks coach but let's forget that and continue with the trainings, cause have still got a whole lot of things to learn"
He chuckled.
"My princess you and I know that you are the best. There's nothing I can teach you that you don't know already. You even always beat me to a dual"
She smiled slightly.
"Princess Sunni! Princess Sunni! "a voice called from afar. They knew the call meant trouble for her.
"I guess it's time to go now your father could probably be searching the whole town for you by now" he said placing both hands on his waist in akimbo.
She sighed sadly.
"how I wish I was never he's daughter. He's so hard in everyone with everyone, most especially me"
"I guess that's why he's the fire lord. It takes anger and brutality to become one" he joked
"Princess sunni!!" the voice was closer now.
"I guess it's goodbye, to when I don't even know" she bent her head in sorry
"Don't worry my princess you'll definitely come through" he raised her chin and squeezed her shoulders.
"Yeah probably when he's done showing off his discipline on me and I might have been long gone by then"
At last Abby finally found them, as she panted.
"The- king- is- very- furious - with - you - ,you need -to - head -back right now" she spoke while catching he breath.
Her instructor gave signs for her to go.
"Fine let's go" she said rather sluggishly.
She settled her horse, took one last glance at him. He gave her a thumbs up then she rode off with Abby, kicking the dust behind.
*At the castle*
Sunni left her horse at the stable and rushed into the castle.
King kangechul was ranting fire and hill storm on the guards.
"Where is my daughter!?"he roared out. The guards were all shivering in fear.
"Father!" she called as she entered.
He turned his angry gaze to her.
"Everyone leave now!" they bowed quickly and left as a relived look washed through them.
"Where have you been all day Sunni!" he barked out.
"At the field father. Training" she said the last word quietly but he heard her anyway.
"Training! You mean you were training?!
For how long will I tell you trainings are for boys and not for girls.
All girls need to know is cooking, singing , ballet and all other things that are meant for girls, but all you do is to embarrass me Sunni.
You embarrass me!!.
You disgrace my honor with your wayward attitudes.
You make my rivals think am weak all because of you!!
You are nothing but a disgrace to me Sunni.
Disgrace!!!
I can't imagine being a father to you.
I think it's time for you to receive my wrath ,for have been too soft on you and now I'll have to punish you in a way you'll never forget and will never intend to disobey me!!!!!..."as he spoke the castle shake in his anger.
Her mother who has been watching the whole scene, rushed out quickly and threw herself before the king.
"Please your highness. Tamper justice with mercy. She's only a child and a very stupid one. Please your highness she's just being childish, have mercy..."she cried out weeping.
"Shut up woman!!.
Both of you should leave my presence now.
You and your disgraceful child should leave my presence now!!. You should lock her up and talk some sense into her head. This is a draw line for her indiscipline, and again she must not bring shame to me tomorrow or else I shall deal with her badly. Now leave my presence!!"he said disgustedly.
"Thank you! thank you !your majesty"
she dragged Sunni out of the throne room in relive.
Sunni kept silent all through her father's voice kept ringing in her head.
"You're a disgrace to me Sunni!"
"Disgrace!"
"Disgrace!"
She was boiling in range inside. She wished she could beat some sense into his head but of course that was totally impossible, even before she could even touch a strand of his hair she'll have been fried up like a barbecue.
"Sunni!" The queen yelled out her name.
"Yes mother?"
"Don't tell me you weren't listening to me".
She rolled her eyes.
"I umm was Ummm….."
"You this child" she pulled her ears.
"Ouch mom, it hurts" she covered her hurting ears to protect it from being pulled.
"What kind of child are you.
First you don't obey rules, your dress code is totally off" looking at what she was putting on with irritation.
"You don't talk or even act as a princess. All you do is to go about practicing martial arts and bring disgrace to both me and your father.Your father hates me because of you, the women look down on me because you"
"Why must I be cursed with a child like you Sunni why!?"
"If only you could stop your bad ways everyone will respect me and your father will love me.He will treat me as his queen and place me by his right hand" she wept as she spoke.
Sunni sighed, the queen was only acting just to gain her attention which she knew just too well.
"It's okay mom, am sorry. I promise to change and I'll go for those classes and dress like a lady" she said not meaning a word she said.
The queen smiled and hugged her.
"Good of you, may the gods blessings you my child. I'll send in the maids to change your clothes right away and I'll call miss Preet to lecture you"
"Okay mother" was all she could mutter.
"Bless you my child" she smiled and left the room.
Sunni sighed in frustration. How she wished, she was never born as a girl.
Or how wonderful it would have been if her chi wasn't as powerful as this.
But what can she do?
nothing!
She can only live with it.
What is worth doing is worth living for.
