Chapter 1- Memories of Father
" We need to go. Wake up." Those are the faint words in my mind.
I see my father. He's smiling at me. I like that smile that blue eyes sparkle. It means he has something special and fun planned for me, his only child.
Then, I open my eyes, truly, and I don't see him anymore. I don't see the room I was in or those eyes. I see a large room and I'm in a canopy bed. It's all pink and white. I look over and there is Calibur, my servant. He gets up and starts to leave.
" You are awake now. That's good. We have to leave for Aquastar today. I have packed up your clothes, the chefs are making food for the journey, and you need to be ready by sunset. Your staff is over there." He says, and as he says there, he points to a long sparkling staff. Then, he goes out the door and closes it.
I get up and go to the vanity table and sat down on the chair. I look into the mirror and stare into the eyes. I go back to my dream. I have the same eyes as him, but my blue eyes always sparkle, his eyes only sparkled when I told him I love him, or when I hug him, or when he has something for me. Since my mother died, he basically dedicated his life to making his only daughter happy. But, six years ago he left me. I remember him getting sick. And I can feel his body get colder as when he hugged me and told me he loved me and never forgot that.
I feel tears streaming down my cheek and I return to the present. I look back into the mirror, and wipe my eyes. I take my brush and brush my, cherry red, hair down. I can tell by my tangles that I tossed and turned last night. I always do when I dream of my father.
After putting on my pink lipcolor, and putting my hair in a tie, I go to my armoire and take out my pink dress, a traveler's dress with a cape, and my hair jewels. I put on my pink and white boots and pick up my staff and as I go to leave the room, I can hear the clicks of the high heels.
I stop, just before I go out the door, and put my hand below my neck. It's still there. I wrap my hands around my locket. It is on a necklace chain that is connected to a pink leather choker that is encrested with pink tourmalines. My father gave the locket to me the day he died, and the only times I've taken it off was to attach it to a more fitting necklace or chocker, or to when bathing.
I start walkiing again. I close my door. I go to my throne and wait for Calibur to come and get me. It's only noon, so I still have six hours, so I get up and leave the kingdom, into the town.
