2 The Kingdom of Aureolus
"stop"
Annoying sunlight shone on my face and my bed has been shaking non-stop
"gosh stop" i tried to stop that person from shaking the bed, but it seems as if i was talking to myself
my eyes swung open expected to be met the familiarity of my usual room at 'Argos' only to find myself in a strange place, with strange men, in strange clothes
fear and panic washed over my body as i took a look at the men surrounding me "wh-who are you?" one of the men seemed to notice my movements because as soon as his eyes laid on me he shouted " SIR FELIX THE GIRL IS AWAKE"
frightened was least to say, 3 men in shiny silver armors surrounded me in what seemed to be like a carriage
wait a carriage??
aren't carriages supposed to be gone since i don't know, few centuries ago??? AREN'T WE IN THE 21ST CENTURY??
a brown haired guy appeard on the window besides me "you are safe with us miss"
safe my ass! how could i be safe when i'm with strange men in strange clothes in a freaking cindrella carriage that's supposed to be from few centuries ago??
a man, no, a soldier, with scarlett red hair, sitting near me fixed the blanket they are covering me in , it seems that my clothes underneath are wet.. the soldier gave me a comforting smile "we are the royal guard of the kingdom of Aureolus, you are in safe hands. do you remember your name?"
I tried to put 2 and 2 together, but my brain didn't seem to work at this moment. I nodded slightly "L-Lyra" my voice seemd to be soar for unknown reasons
"and do you do you know what took you to the northern boarders miss?" another soldier, sitting front of me, spoke
i was confused, scared, lost and tired. The northern boarders of what exactly?? and why the hell am i soaked in water?
what is the kingdom of Aureolus? i was in Japan before i go to bed
the kind red haired soldier seemed to sense my discomfort because he said "i think she is tired.. or maybe she is from another kingdom, lets leave her to rest until we reach the capital"
I was too tired to argue, and the men around me gave me easy and peaceful feelings, peaceful enough for me to drift into a deep slumber hoping to wake up finding that it's just a silly dream of a cindrella carriage
and a far-way kingdom called Aureolus
~~~~~~~~~~~
oh boy was i wishing for too much?
I heard few men talking in a low voice "should we wake her?"
"no look she seems deep asleep maybe we should carry her"
"it will feel weird we better wake her"
"but what if we frightened her?"
"she already saw us!"
"oh she seems to be awake"
I slightly opened my eyes, sunbeams shone on my face, the carriage came to a stop few minutes ago
"we are in Rhodes the Capital of Aureolus miss, in the Palace of the king to be specific" the brown haired guy from earlier said
I took a glance at the view from the window
A marvelous castle stood high in its full beauty and glory, the high towers of Hongkong and the Urbans of Dubai looked nothing compared to this magnificent castle
A solider helped me get off the carriage, the city seemed way too shiny, and i hate shiny places
Seeing the sun gives me uneasy feelings
I'm a dark cloud, rainy days and storms person
maybe it's because i am the daughter of the god of thunderstorms and lightning after all
I walked towards the grande door with guards surrounding me
as i entered the palace, shock took over me, it wasn't a mere place, its beauty is indeed breath-taking
From the floor to the ceilings, this place screamed with luxuries and glamor
Golden statues and ornamentation covered the walls, stained glass allowing parts of colorful sunbeams to shine on the long halls
statues of different figures decorated the halls
oh wait is that a statue of Helios made of pure gold?
ah this place is too shiny for my eyes
it didn't take us long to reach to a grand golden door, as big as the doors of olympus...
two guards standing on each side opened the door for us to reveal an even more gorgeous throne room, i don't have enough words to describe such a room but i can simply say that i was dumbstruck for few minutes
On the throne sat a very elegant figure, in his mid 20th. short jet blackhair that covered small parts of his forehead and golden magnetic eyes, his gaze seemed to show no emotions or life
i felt scared, like those eyes can kill me instantly, the brownie haired guy - i seriously need to know his name- address the king with a small bow "this is the girl we found the at shore of the northern boarders your majesty"
