The weather was cold and fresh. The air was filled with the fragrances of different flowers, birds chirping ,the sound of water flowing through the river. This is the sign that you are in Vesan Kingdom.

The Carts entered into the kingdom. Everyone was sleeping expect Princess Lia. She was looking at the lockets her mother gave her last time. They all had different colors and signs printed on it. She put it back into her purse and started looking outside the window.

"You didn't sleep?"
