The ancient beginnings

Ooops

The morning breeze feels lovely from this point, sitting here on the rock enjoying the view. It is so quiet here, you can only hear the water splashing against the rocks, the water is ever clear and cold when hot and warm on cold days. It is the best for relaxing and this very place is just as good for an alone time.

She is enjoying watching the birds and hearing the water splash against the rocks, how the freak princess found this well hidden place is yet a mystery, she is like someone who grew up in this very kingdom you can never guess that she is actually a prisoner.

She do not know that someone has been watching her since she left the palace and the stranger is amaze at how care free this human actually is in their kingdom, seriously which human in their right mind would sit on a rock swaying to her own tune just humming to herself like she owns the world. The smirk is permanent on the stalker's face just imagining what the people of this kingdom have in store for her can make a normal creature shiver in their shoes but apparently this human is actually enjoying her stay over here.

The plan for today is simple, relax and make the life of the royal stranger a living hell till he is ready to talk.

Sleeping on the royal stranger's bed for a night is one thing but staying there is another and definitely the freak princess wants a life and staying in the shadows of the royal stranger is not it.

***

The third Prince has just put his mission in action today, it's time to catch this very official and Prince Anei is not taking this lightly especially now that the obedient human is no more, he has to put up with a crazy little human.

He has to find a solution for this predicament and soon, not sleeping on his own bed for a night is bad enough but for days won't be tolerated so if he wants to solve this issue soon then he has to take care of the official only then can he uncover the truth.

The daily session is over and the King's decree has been enforce, Prince Anei couldn't be happier after all it is his idea to benefit him more, heading to his chamber for a meal, feeling so good about the events of today.

He can not believe what he is seeing though, the little human is sitting at the foot of his bed with the Prince's calabash enjoying his meal that too the last pieces of the meal.

'' What on earth do you think you are doing with a meal meant for me you crazy little human so not only are taking my bed but my meals too what next huh probably my crown or better yet my throne. ''

She just ignored him and put the last piece in her mouth, she gets up washes her hands and makes herself comfortable on a chair.

'' Please get someone to take those dishes and while you are at it tell them to bring me some dry fruits oooh and yes please stop blabbering about what I have taken and

whatnot. ''

Interesting now she is ordering the third Prince around, there is no telling whether this is stupidity or stubbornness.

'' I see so I should serve you as well, OK your royal Highness what would you like to have with the dry fruits huh? I am craving some fresh blood actually, ever tasted real blood little human? ''

Her eyes almost pop out upon hearing the word blood and the third Prince just smirk at her with a predator smile while stalling towards her slow and steady. Prince Anei has had enough of this human's insolence.

It's about time, she gets to see the real Prince Anei, the third son of king Wiir Atem iv.

She is sacred beyond words not by his words but by the look he is giving her plus the stalking style of walking. For a scary cat like her, she is way over herself but she is not a fool to let him think that she is scare of him of course she is freaking scared right now but he do not have to know that right?

" Ooh now that you mention it i do need something with my dry fruits please, would you mind adding fresh warm milk please, i would really appreciate that so get going and bring what i just requested its not like those maids of yours will come back here any time soon if not summoned now would they? "

acting sassy on the outside but she is screaming on the inside, what she do not though is that the prince knows that she is scared right now he can hear her heart racing in the rib cage almost breaking. prince Anei will have to give her credit though for a human she hide her fears too well that a mere human like her would never see through her lies but she is not fooling him. her lips are trembling and that's why she bits them if she is not speaking.

" you do know that your mouth will actually be your end right, you talk too much without filter or action to back them up all you do is talk no matter what or who you are talking to. tell me something are you never scared of anything or are you that hopeless that you have nothing to lose at all.? "

she is offended but there nothing she remembers about her life so yes as of now the freak princess have nothing lose or gain, what is the point of fearing the unknown really? nothing is worth it anymore so if he thought he would easily scare her off with a few strange words or behavior then he is dead wrong because she is not going down easily.

" You are probably right but you know what, i do not really care what will end me because all i know is that my mouth will surely ruin your peace of mind till you decide to tell me the truth of what is going on around here, i may not remember anything but i do know that i am not suppose to share a hut with a total stranger that too a man so the sooner you start talking the quicker i will be out of your life. "

well damn little human that is the thing the prince do not want her out of his life, she is part of this for a very long time if not for good because no human comes to the shadow realm and walks back out without any complications. the whole kingdom and now the neighboring kingdoms have their eyes on her now, do she really think she can survive in this world without the third prince.

" not so fast little human, you and i have a long way to go, a mission to accomplish and a number of people to destroy so just get comfortable because you are not going anywhere any time soon no matter what you do, you may just force me to be behave inhumanly with you but you will still be here by the end of the day so what is it going to be little human? "

Much as Achol wants to continue defying him and talking as usual she just can not because something have change about his tone when he talks about missions and destroying people, you can see rage in his eyes that promise a dangerous storm. she is scared for the people that are at the receiving end of this very rage but what could they have done to the third prince, he is resentful and vengeful.

" I do not know what they did to you but the fire in yours will not only consume them, you will not survive your own wrath. It is not safe to live your life on the terms of revenge, I know it is not my place to tell you this but I think you should focus more on yourself instead of plotting a revenge that will not only benefit no body but also destroy you all yourself inclusive. "

For a record the third prince is moved, no body have ever understood his intention so well before, this human girl just understood him by just looking at him. He is impress because she is good with reading people and their intentions without having to listen to a word about their true intention.

" I do really appreciate your concern but you will never understand my reasons human, yes the fire will consume all of us but I have nothing to lose in this battle, they have a lot to pay for not like you would know that, all you know how to do is talk none stop. "

for some reasons the freak princess seems withdrawn and calculative and this scares the third prince, what is it that he said that she did not like because  from the look of things she is offended by something he said. She might talk none stop but when she is quiet it looks unnatural like something is missing.

" Actually you right, it is not my business I should be concern about my own predicament right now instead of getting familiar with you, what you do to yourself and your people is entirely your choice who is this insignificant human to tell you what to do ? do forgive my ignorance I promise I will not interfere in your life again just please tell me who I am already so that I can actually leave your life for good, I surely do not wish to watch you destroy yourself and everyone else. look I may not know any one in this place apart from you but I do know that they are all not responsible for whatever happened to you. "

The third prince can not take it any more so he walked out of his hut, the little human always does this, she nags him, talk none stop, annoys him and when he tries to respond in his favor she turns the tables around and make him look like a monster. The third prince do not want to have second thoughts about his mission and that is what she is doing trying to make him feel bad about everything.

**********************************************

Alu can not believe her luck, she has tried to find ways of getting an alone time with the third prince but he  always seems busy with one thing or the other, although they are engaged to be married prince Anei do not have time for her at all. He is not excited to marry her like she is but that is ok, Alu do not care whether he is excited or not the bottom line is that he will marry her anyway.

she walks up to him with a smile on her face, like seriously who would not smile upon such a view the third prince is sitting on a rock playing a flute while he has deep his legs in the stream, he looks so relaxed and carefree who knew that the third son of king Wiir Atem actually do have a hobby. she can not believe how fortunate she is, she is sure now that her father makes the best decisions.

" what is my prince doing all on his own this far away from the palace without even a single guard. Now that you have decided to be in the race for the throne it is in your best interest to always have a guard with you. "

Prince Anei just scoffs and ignore her presence, like come on this very prince have crossed the witch realm countless times oh and do not forget that he actually stayed in the human realm for so long and even survive their attack now what makes her think that his fellow shadow men will be more dangerous. He knows everything there is to know about his own kind and that is what is important.
