Chapter 3 - Running away

Each chapters of our lives is in our own hands.

Ehor

He flipped open his eyes and was glad it was morning. At last it was morning, he felt so anxious about starting practice again.

He stood up and stretched his stiff muscles and took in a very deep breath.

"Wow life outside the castle is so calm. No noise, no duty , no obligation and no expectations it's just you to your self living a life of normal people"he taught aloud.

How he wished ,he had tasted this kind of life on time ,but all was not lost he still had all the time in the whole world to explore this kind of life. He is Ehor the crowned prince of the southern kingdom. Hates royalty and it's obligations, he only longs for a normal life.

He dressed up quickly and took a stroll to the pool of Bethshelda. A pool  known  by all but visited by little.  There is a believe that an ancient and powerful king drowned himself  there and it was said that anyone  who got close drowned too,so it was strictly avoided like a plague.

All were myths and stories that never really existed. Ehor has been a frequent visitor to the pool ever since he was a child. It has, as well been his sanctuary ever since and also his most cherished hiding place anytime he felt sad and hurt by his father. Now he has already left the castle for good and there's no turning back to that. No one could order him around anymore and he finally had his hands wrapped around his wish, which must be fulfilled to the fullest.

He finally got to the pool and set to work at once.

Sunni

----------------------

The Northern kingdom

-----------------------

She woken by a ringing bell.

" What the fuck!!"she yelled.

"It's me my princess".

"Oh come in"

she groaned and stood up. Her feet's were still hurting from putting on those useless heels.

"The queen asked be to get you bath and dressed".

She snort

"Seriously? Have I ever needed help in getting dressed".

"Well that is because you....."she said trying to find a better way to put

"Dress like a man right" she grunts

"Actually today is a very special day"she spoke excitedly

"Special day of what?"she asked looking rather bored

"Different prince from different kingdom will be here to seek your hand ,or have you forgotten that my princess?"she rushed words

She hits her head.

"Gosh I totally forgot that shit, does it have to be today?"She gave off a disgusted look.

Abby chuckled.

" You should be happy. You are very lucky indeed princess Sunni to be the center of attention"

"Bla bla bla Abby if you were in my shoes  you'll have gotten what I mean"she sighed softly

"Well I'll totally love to be in your shoes if that was possible "she teased

"Well if it were tradable I'll have done that a long time ago"

"That's totally impossible my princess. You alone are the princess , no one else can take your place and you should most definitely be happy and be very proud to be one"

"You know what Abby you talk alot you're lucky I like you. Now let's get over with the dressing shit"

******

Her bath was filled up with warm water and strawberry soap that bubbled up.

"Get in my princess"

"Are you sure it's not too hot" unsure of what to expect

"No it warm and very good for the bones"

"What ever" She rolled her eyes and got in.

"Not bad" she eased herself in.

Sunni played with the bubble and made them flot in the air as they formed different things.

"Wow princess Sunni what sort of element is this" she exclaimed almost shouting.

"Shhhh told you Abby you talk alot. It's a secret , my secert that I now share with you ".

"lips crossed my princess"

*********"

"This dress no way in my life would I put this on"crossing her arms around her.

"But it's pink and very beautiful and will suit you well"trying to make her understand.

"If I don't get a red dress then I'll just have to dress in shirts and pants"

"Okay my princess red dress it is"

**

She took down the dress and helped Sunni in it. She fixed but a perfect makeup for her and had her hair put up in a lovely bun.

"Wow you look..."she was totally fascinated.

"You're So beautiful princess Sunni"

Tear drop fell from her eyes.

"Come on Abby stop crying or else I'll take this off"

"No no no don't I'll stop crying okay?"

She quickly wiped off her tears.

Sunni smiled and hugged Abby.

The door flung open a cart was brought in, her mother walked right behind them.

"It's time Sunni"

she cheerfully announced

All she did always smile and climbed into the cart. The cart was covered so she couldn't see where she was being taken to. At last she heard some boistling noise and knew she was on the Royal field.

The excorts lowed the cart. she got out and shield her face with a hand fan.  There was err silence as she took her place on the Royal throne.

"Now that the princess is here let the ceremony begin."

"Let's remember that the most powerful prince wins the princess"

"Fight!!!!"the coordinator annoced

Sunni watched silently as the contest began.

Her parent watched with pure interest while she watched in dismay.

Sunni got more and more agitated by the minute climbing in to hours.

She felt the air of pressure surround her . The fight was really intense  and so was the pressure around her. In her mind she wished no one will win the contest but that was totally impossible.

Her heart skipped a beat as the earth prince stamped his feet on the floor. The earth shacked as rooks moved swiftly underneath and burst out suddenly, sending the other princes down on their bellies.

Everyone paused just to see if the anyone of them would rise again but unfortunately none did, their powers has been completely used up.

From one it turned into a resounding applause.

"We now have a winner 'The Earth Prince!!!!"

The earth prince directed his gaze towards her and gave off a seductive gaze. She rolled her eyes when he blew out a kiss to her.

"Wow my child you're very lucky indeed to be married off to such a strong and powerful prince"the queen whispered into her ears.

The king raised the northern flag and the prince raised the Eastern flag.

"Union of two kingdoms"

Many maids rushed at Sunni to take her to the bride chamber a place where women about to he married off her kept.

Different rituals are performed on the bride, but the most important and most painful of all was when their powers were taken from them. All this ran across her mind. The most painful of all was to let go of her powers which she certainly can't do.

"No I can't and I won't let go have had it with this sicken tradition"she yelled out to everyone shock.

"And father am not getting married to him or anyone"

She ran off quickly and kicked off her heels . She rushed into her room grabing her arrow bag and her bow.

She rushed out in a haist and grabbed her horse.

All she needed new was space and a fresh new breath of air.

------------------------------------

A breath of fresh air can calm the wailing soul.

Living our lives gives the greatest satisfaction.
