I Wish I Was
It's all a lie. The books, movies, shows, even whispers. They are all wrong. The elf princess life isn't as it seems. I dont go get my hair done, walk around all free, hell i barely even get to have my own words and opinion. You can't always trust what the birds say. Sometimes they lie too. I never wanted to hurt my parents, I only wanted to save them. Wouldn't they have wanted to save me too? If anything they should have saved me. Well enough with all the hocus pocus, let me get on with the truth on how I “betrayed” my family and people by having a dream. Honestly it all started with me sitting in my room. My best friend and maid came knocking at the door. As I opened the door though I felt uneasy while watching my best friend give me a horrifying look. “Olc what is the strange face for?” I exclaimed, trying to not freak myself out. “i-i-uh …… well i have very bad news.” She said, giving it a second thought. She walked in and sat herself down looking and listening to the birds chirp outside. Now looking at the floor she started explaining. There were monsters coming for my therolan. I gasped learning that everyone may be in danger. Something was burning inside me, I didn't know what but I knew it was a thirst for adventure. An outside looking in feeling. I knew I didn't want to sit there and let these monsters get away. Could i? No no, why must I question myself. As a rush of confidence struck, I jumped back “hey, I could do something”. “I could uh…..well…..i know a healing spell”. “I also don't feel that would be much help to my combat skill”. Olc looked at me with wide eyes. ‘’ You're not actually serious, are you?” she asked, not knowing what to say next. I nodded and started to walk to my closet, Opening it as if I was in an action movie. It's always been my dream to become a protagonist that helps everyone and wins in the end. I stopped and started to think to myself, what if i won't win in the end? What if I totally mess up and end up hurting people instead of saving them? What if–. A voice interrupts my thoughts. “Nahidia what do you think you're doing?” Oh no it was my mother. Calmly turning around, with a polite voice I explained “oh mother i was looking for my pretty ball gown, i was thinking of taking a walk in our indoor garden and you know how the willows and sprouts feel about me wearing my flower ball gown.”. I stared at her waiting for her reaction. “Oh well be safe of course, Olc would you mind walking with her and keeping her company. My mother says as she tries not to harm the situation. Olc agrees and helps me put on my dress. While walking to the garden Olc stops. “Would you like me to teach you my druid power, it's not much but hopefully it will help you in your quest/mission”. Staring with wide eyes, I feel like running down the halls. Of course I wanted her to teach me, but what are the consequences of these actions I wonder?
