Ancient Times: Magical Kingdoms

By: Princess Cattleya

Years later, a young man of 18 with dark unruly midnight black hair and black, cold piercing eyes, lies in his personal room, in his bed. Looking up at the ceiling and thinking over the dream he had.

With a groan of frustration, he swung his feet to the side of his bed and stood up. He stretched and flexed his muscles before leaving the room. As he walked down the halls, unconsciously his magical aura flared up, thus waking up the whole entire army and the prince, thinking there is an enemy inside the castle walls.

They followed the trail that the very, very powerful magic aura left behind and it finally led them to a nearby forest clearing. There they saw the person responsible for the trail of magical aura. They saw their….

"General Himagoshi what is he doing here?" asked a soldier in a low, audible voice, enough for those near could hear.

"Our questions will soon be answered," a young with unruly chestnut hair and amber eyes answered, while coming out of the shadow and holding onto a nearby tree to watch with the rest.

"Illusion, I call upon you, erase my disguise and change me to my true form," with that said, the general was slightly lifted from the ground, covered by a very bright light.

"What is going on?!" questioned those around while they cover their eyes with their arms from the blinding light.

Soon the light subsided and the soldiers were finally able to see once more. A beautiful young woman stood in the place of the general. She looked about the same age as the prince, with long layered brown hair, reaching her back, and cold piercing dark emerald green eyes. She wore a long, flowing, light pink gown that reached the ground and a bit around her feet. This new figure enchanted the soldiers, even the prince, who rarely paid any attention to any girls, be she noble, or pretty, or that with authority.

They stared intently at the young beauty, that they barely noticed where they were stepping. One of the soldiers, accidentally, stepped on a twig. The snap that the twig made seemed to have echoed throughout the forest.

At this sudden sound, the young beauty ceased her staring into the stars and turned to her surroundings. Clutching her hands, close to her chest, while she stepped back tentatively and looked around, frightened for some reason.

"If there's anyone out there, show me who you are!!! I warn you, come out of the shadows, you coward and face me!!!!"she yelled out. In her voice carried a scared and frightened voice…

But to the soldiers, the sound was like music in their ears, they couldn't help, but stare at her more intently.

She breathed deeply and closed her eyes, looking around through closed eyes. Finally, she sensed and saw them. Those around her, she recognized as her own soldiers and one of them as the prince. She frowned more deeply as she saw that all the soldiers of the Li Kingdom's army were there, watching. Staring.

She opened her eyes and looked directly at the prince through the darkness, thinking that they will now punish her for, perhaps, treason.

"I know who you are, come out in the opening where I can see you," she said.

After a few minutes of thinking, the prince left his hiding spot and came to the clearing, followed by the whole army, hands on their swords' sheath.

"Who are you?" the prince asked.

"Why do you ask a question as such? Are you not going to punish me?" the young woman asked.

"Why would I punish you?" the prince asked.

"You should punish me because I lied to the kingdom. I lied about everything everyone thought of me," the young woman replied.

"I am merely a prince who will take the throne two years from now. I do not make the decision, the Council of Elders does,"the prince said.

"Why not kill me now? It may bring great honor to your people to kill a liar," she said.

"Killing those who does not need death as a punishment brings no great honor to my people, my kingdom, nor, and especially, my family," the prince once again replied.

This left the young woman speechless, which left everyone silent, waiting for the young woman's next action. Unfortunately, it was not the woman who broke the silence, instead, it was the prince. Everyone was shocked since the prince never everliked interrogations, he usually let soldiers do the job.

"What is your name, my lady?" the prince asked.

"I am --- why do you ask?" the young woman snapped.

"I merely wish to know the name of the beauty that stands in front of me, who may meet her death on the morrow. I only wish thy name," the prince replied, while the woman blushed,and then added, "and title."

"My title belongs with my name, my prince. I am…"

I know, stupid cliffhanger!!!!! But I tried. Hope you enjoyed!!!!!Oh, by the way, hehe, I know told you people that you don't have to review, but I think now is a good time. Short chapters and boring, but I promise, if I get some reviews, it will be better in future chapters. Another thing, it's still a PG-13, for now, but in the future it will turn NC-17. Ok, that's all. For now. Ciao!!!!!
