Chapter 1 - My plans are ruined

    In a far away land called the Neverland. There was a princess named Zithoriah . She had a father who was the king of Neverland named Zethoric .

 

(In a room there is a woman standing next to a window)

"I need to go to the Everlife city without my father noticing am I'm gone" said the woman.

(A sound of  knocking coming from the door echoed in the room)

She turned and looked at the door "come in " she says

(A lady in a maiden attire comes in)

"Princess Zithoriah the king calls for you" said the woman in a maiden attire

"Uhmm okay but way" said Zithoriah in a scared tone.

"Sorry my princess, if I may ask, why do you look sad" said the woman in a maiden attire.

"I can't answer that question, stop and never ask me of my personal matter" said Zithoriah.

"Sorry my princess" said the woman in a maiden attire

"Just go" said Zithoriah . "Does my father know my plans" she wisperes to her self .

  (The woman in a maiden attire leaves the room, while princess Zithoriah goes to her father's Chamber).

(In a room there is a man sitting on a chair sipping his tea).           (a sound of knocking echoed in the room).

"Father you called for me" said Zithoriah.

"Oh yes I did my daughter come in and have tea with me I have something important to tell you"said the king.

"Okay father" said Zithoriah

"I'm going to host a family supper and I want you to help in sending the invitations"Said the king

"Okay father"said the princess as her face looked disappointed.

"Also tell the maidens to clean up the dinning room, and the cook should make the best dishes" said the king.

Okay father said the Zithoriah in a sad tone.

"I hope you're okay you look sad" said the king.

"Yes am okay it's just that I wanted to go somewhere"said Zithoriah.

" You can't go anywhere until the supper ends and you can't go to the Everlife city"said the king

"But why" said Zithoriah  curiosly

"I have reasons" said the king

"What reasons father" Zithoriah questions the king

"Reasons that you can never understand" said the king.

"But father....." (The king interrupts).

"Just go do what I told you to do" said the king.

"Fine I'm leaving now"said Zithoriah in anger.

(Zithoriah leaves the room and the king sighs bitterly)

"My plans are ruined now"Zithoriah wisperes to herself.

(In the maidens chamber)

"I feel like the princess is hiding something because when I called her she looked scared"said maiden 1.

"Hmm I think we should find out"said maiden 2.

"I don't think we should, it's not our business"said maiden

"You're right and am not ready to lose my job" said maiden 2.

(As they were talking princess Zithoriah entered, and they stop taking instantly.)

"I need you guys to start preparing for the family supper" said Zithoriah.

"Yes my princess" said the maidens.

 

       (In Zithoriah's room )

"My dad doesn't want me to go to the Everlife city. I wonder why"said Zithoriah.

(A sound of knocking coming from the door echoed in the room).

(Suddenly a voice Is heard).

"My princess I overheard two of my colleagues saying something" said the maiden at the door.

"Come in Zira, what were they saying"said Zithoriah.

"Thank you my princess, she said you were scared when she told you the king was calling you,my princess is that true"said maiden Zira.

"Yes it is and I was for a reason" said Zithoriah

"Sorry my princess if I may ask ,why"Said maiden Zira.

"Don't tell anyone what am about to tell you, you're the only one I trust. I'm planning on going to the Everlife city" said Zithoriah

"What!!!, Why" asked Zira .

"To get the gemstone to save our kingdom danger, our kingdom is falling apart"said Zithoriah

"I know my princess but that will be a very dangerous journey said Zira .

"But the king doesn't want me to go for a reason" said Zithoriah.

"Because he is scared"said Zira

"Of what"said Zithoriah

  (A sudden silence fills the air).

"He doesn't want to lose you"said Zira .

"But it's for the kingdom's's safety"said Zithoriah.

"You are not ready my princess"said Zira .

"But I have been trained by my father so how am I not ready " said Zithoriah.

"Don't worry just be patient my princess"said Zithoriah.

"Zira are you hiding something from me"Zithoriah questions Zira

"How does the princess know I'm hiding something, I do not want to know, what am I going to do"Zira whisper to herself.

"Zira talk now!" Zithoriah commands.

"Uhmm i ..i ..i am sorry, I can't tell you" Zira stammers in fear.

"Zira you have been my friend for years but now I see you as a betrayer, So you've been hidden something from me all this while"said Zithoriah

"Please I  don't want to tell you because I don't want to make you scared please my princess do not be too harsh on me"said Zira as she starts to cry.

(Zithoriah sighs bitterly)

"Zira I understand you know,I am sorry but just tell me I promise I you won't be scared please" said Zithoriah.

"But the king didn't tell me anything what could it possibly be" the princess whispers to herself.

(The two where interrupted by a sound of knocking coming from the door.)

"My princess the king calls for you" said the person at the door

"Oh okay am coming" said Zithoriah.

"Zira we shall finish this conversation later" said Zithoriah before she leaves.

       (In the king's chamber).

"Have you made the invitations and have you sent it" asked the king.

"No father I was about to do it, sorry father for the delay" said Zithoriah.

"Okay go and do it now" said the king.

"Yes father"said Zithoriah.

As she was about to leave the king stops her.

"Zithoriah I am sorry for shouting at you when you asked me whether you could go to the Everlife city. But I have my reasons"said the king.

"Oh father you're forgiven but what are the reason ?" Asked Zithoriah.

"I can't tell you, it is for your own sake and safety" said the king.

"But why father"asked Zithoriah.

"Zithoriah get out"said the king.

I was already planning on leaving"said Zithoriah as she turns to leave, then she noticed someone was eavesdropping.

(In Zithoriah's chamber, Zithoriah is writing invitation letter).

"What could be the thing that father is hiding from me" Zithoriah says to herself.

"Guard Sovera!!!"Zithoriah calls.

"Yes my princess" said the guard.
