"I'm Agememnom". The prince introduced himself. "And I'm Run Ni Tama. So where are we venturing into?" Run Ni Tama asked. "First of all let me show you round the palace. Our adventure is within the palace grounds. So we have to take our pace slowly so it would seem long". He said the last words as if whispering. "Okay". Run Ni Tama giggled as they set to start their adventure.

" Let's try that strategy and see if it will work". " My king that strategy is going to fail us and our kingdom will be at great loss" Sun Ni Tama tried convincing the king against the idea of the general that just spoke." Yes looking at it, it seems so. So what do we do? As far as I know you've been our most reliable advisor". " Let's wait for their first step. Their first step will determine ours. Which is either war or we form an alliance through a discussion". Sun Ni Tama advised and the king stared at the chart with a palm on his jaw. "I think his idea is the best". An old advisor said. " That's certainly the best idea for a case this fragile". They all agreed to his idea in way or the other. " So what happens before then?". "We wait for a letter from them".

"Hahaha". Run Ni Tama laughed at the Prince's clumsiness. As he expected a prince to be coordinated but this prince in front of him was far from it. "I'm amazed that you find me funny, cause my father and mother don't". Prince Agememnom said with a slight smile and Run Ni Tama understood. He walked up to him and placed a palm on his shoulder."That's because they are too old to understand". He encouraged Prince Agememnom and they both laughed. Then they continued their adventure. Prince Agememnom who led the way stopped abruptly which surprised Run Ni Tama. " Hey are you okay". He chuckled as he asked in nervousness. He moved forward to see what statued Prince Agememnom only to see a leg shoe, which looked nothing other than that of a girl. Then foot prints with blood were seen."Agememnom we need to leave. This place isn't safe". Run Ni Tama warned. "You would have sounded more like a worrior if you weren't just fourteen. Prince Agememnom said as he smiled sheepishly. "What?". "You still sound like a child". Prince Agememnom said as he turned to face Run Ni Tama. "Agememnom we need to leave right now". "Okay, okay, let's go".
(RUN NI TAMA'S POV)
As we turned to leave, we heard the cry of a girl. " Run Ni did you here that?"."Of course"." We can't leave her here.She needs our help". " Yes I know, but promise me, you won't act clumsy"."Yes sir". Agememnom answered sarcastically. "But how do we find her? I don't know where her cry came from". His face turned sour as he spoke. " Let's split up". "What??!!". "Yes otherwise, let's leave". "How would I find my way back. I've never ventured into this path of the forest before"."Really then let's leave". I concluded. Agememnom turned his back at me and his head feel low. What was happening to him."Agemem". "We could use leaves". He cut me short." What?" I asked in confusion. "Yes we split up and use leaves to keep records of tracks. After all, we are in a forest. So we can't run out of leaves". "Of course". I agreed cause I know he was hellbent on exploring. He wants to use this medium to explore. "Okay, you go left. I go right". I instructed. "Of course". He said and smiled mischievously.

"Today seems to be a long day". King Anawmim as he realised they've dined and trashed four pressing matters. "Yes your majesty. Time also seems to be on our side". General Quang added. "I'm impressed our time was spent wisely. Let's take the meeting to the dinning hall as we eat. Any objections". They turned to look at each other in awe. Then faced the king and shook their heads. "No your majesty". Sun Ni Tama was the only one who wasn't surprised as he was the only one that was close to the king. Due to their relationship as an advisor to a king.

( AGEMEMNOM'S POV)
'Sniffs'. Broke a stick. 'It's better to be care'. I thought as I neared the place I heard stifled cry with the stick in my hand. 'Almost there'. I thought holding the stick as if I wanted to hit what I kept on hearing.
(VISTULER'S POV)
I kept trying my best not to suppress my cry.' Where could she have gone?'. I thought as I was scared and the pain excruciated making my frustration increase with rapidity.(Falls). I stood on my other foot as the other was injured. "Who's over there?". I asked in fright when I heard something heavy fall. 'I will never listen to her again. She just brought me here to die'. I shivered with my thought. The bush before me started moving as if the bush was paving way for the creature in it. I cowered back in fear until my back was hit against a tree. Fear was evident on my face. The more the creature neared the more fear consumed my face. My mind ran wild at the thought of death, a very painful. "Mother". The creature's rustling in the bush increased. And I closed my eyes to accept my fate.
( AGEMEMNOM'S POV)
I wondered what was this that pinned me to the ground. Not allowing my gaze to meet what pinned me. It continued to pin me to the ground as I struggled. It's happening like this because I was caught unaware. "If you want to kill her you have to go through me. The voice was that of a girl of seven or eight. I should be ashamed. A young girl is pinning me down to this extent. "Hey I didn't want to kill anyone, okay". I replied in struggles. "Liar". She yelled.
(VISTULER'S POV)
"LIAR ". The voice snapped my eyes opened. It sounded familiar. I moved forward a step after the other. Then I used I my hand to pave the bush. To my surprise it was who I awaited for struggling with a boy. I couldn't see his face but I could tell from his clothes that he was of a noble blood. My mind ran from reality, as I tried to imagine how I looked when I was terrified. "Hey". I was brought back to reality when a hand pulled Elixia up from this noble. "Are you okay, Agememnom?". "Of course . Don't worry Run Ni Tama". " Wait are you prince Agememnom?". Then Run Ni Tama turned to look at me with a look of 'ohhhhh, you didn't know'. "Yes". Prince Agememnom replied curtly. "Apologize, Elixia". Prince Agememnom turned to look at me. "But he tried hurting you". " APOLOGIZE!". I yelled at her. "I'm sorry, Prince Agememnom".
( AGEMEMNOM'S POV)
"I'm sorry, Prince Agememnom". Elixia apologized with her head bowed. "You may rise". I said and she did without hesitation, then threw a hard glare at me. Which statled me. "Pfft". Run Ni Tama tried laughing but held it when I glared at him. "Ahem. Agememnom we need to leave now". Run Ni Tama said as he drew the curtain of seriousness into the stage. "Okay see you soon Prince Agememnom". Vistuler flushingly said and I nodded in agreement, then turned to go.
(ELIXIA'S POV)
I walked to Vistuler plead with her, her mercy, for all the trouble I've caused. Only to be met by a tomato. I cleaned my eyes to be sure of what I saw. I didn't see wrong. Vistuler was no different from a tomato. And her smile reached her eyes. Which was complimented by a dreamy eyes. Something is definitely wrong her. I touched her forehead with the back of my palm and withdrew immediately, cause it was really hot. Fear ate my entire body. Up from my head, down to my toes. I quivered with my hand in my mouth.'What do I do now? She's burning. Only a matter of time before he skin melts because of heat radiating from her. Oh, what do I do?'. I thought internally. Finally, I concluded. "Vistuler". I tried calling sweetly, but got no reply.'What was happening? She has never been like this before. Or is this how the process of maturity treated her? Oh, no. I wouldn't want this to happen to me. I wondered the extent of pain that brewed in her. Oh, no.' I cried then hugged her. "I really don't know how you feel right now but I wished I could take it away. I'm so sorry, Vistuler". I said as tears flowed non-stop. "Are you running insane?".'Okay she's back now. Thank goodness'. I thought while pulling away from her."You want to take the best moment that has ever happened in my life?". "What????".' How can your best moment turn you red and make you heat up to the extent of a boiling water?' "Yes"."I will never do that". I said convincingly."You were as red as a tomato and hot as if you were a kettle of boiled water. I only wondered how you were feeling. And felt pity when I remember you talk on maturity. So I tried to think of the amount of pain you went through". I explained. Her expression calmed and she hugged me. "Oh, Elixia even at the age of eight you are still this innocent. you will change once you are of my age. Which is ten". Vistuler said to me.

(RUN NI TAMA'S POV)
I expected a prince to have started training". I said with a stern expression which held a grin underneath."Well turns out this prince hasn't started". Agememnom answered with sorrow showing in his voice."She really did mess you up". Agememnom turned to look at me with an expression of'you aren't even helping'. And continued walking."I mean your face is full of bruises. There isn't any space left. Would your father even recognize you"."Stop exaggerating Run Ni"."Fine. Your bruises appear as blush. But I can't help but tease you". I laughed not too loud.
(AGEMEMNOM'S POV)
I wished you watched the way she pinned you". Run Ni teased. 'Arrrrg. Won't he just give up now'. "I was the one she pinned, remember?"."Yes I know that. But I wished you watched it. You will probably be laughing with me now. Hahaha". He continued with his laughter. "Are you mocking me?".I asked with a frown. And got a reply from him which was he held his laughter sharply. I turned to continue walking. He still didn't stop there. He continued with his teasing." Agememnom you sure gave her a gap of two or three years in the aspect of syllabus, but in the aspect of fighting. She has won you". I rolled my eyes. Then my eyes caught. It was a flower. I had never seen a flower this beautiful. It really was beautiful. With black leaves,white veins and the flower was white with sprinkles of black onto it. I walked to pick it. Run Ni Tama was engrossed in his teasing so I sniffed it. A flower would never do this. The scent was nice but it squeezed my brain and heart. I felt weak and my vision was turning blur. I felt my nose was running. So I poked two of my fingers into my nostrils and felt something wet on the finger. I brought it up to my face. And saw blood. My nose was running with blood. I lost my balance and was caught by some hands. I looked up to see whoit was. Who else was with me."Are you done with your teasing?".I struggled question sarcastically."Agememnom you need to keep quite".
