Chapter Three: The World I Live In
482 Words
My world, how do I describe this...? The new world I was born in consisted of many different realms, one for each of us princesses. My realm was unique to my original world. Forests and open fields everywhere. Beautiful streams and a massive lake that our castle looked out over.
Our castle was amazing. We had long hallways, a beautiful throne room, and a wonderful ballroom. But my favorite part of the castle was our gardens.
The gardens had beautiful rose bushes, violets, and lilies of all sorts. The fragrance sitting in the garden was so vibrant depending on what season it was. We even had flowers that stayed in bloom all year long. My favorite part of the garden was the massive apple tree. (I know, another cliché.)
My father had the carpenters build a beautiful wooden bench for me so I could sit out there spending time with all the animals that would come in and out of the garden. All the animals were welcome, and I spent so many hours sitting on my bench talking to them and petting their soft furs. There were plenty of animals for me to see: deer, rabbits, squirrels, and so many others.
There were some days, I would spend all day in the garden picking flowers, playing with my friends, and just having fun. Other days I would stay in my room. The balcony I had in it looked out over all the kingdom. It was my other favorite spot.
My part of the realm was special in my eyes. The land itself vibrated with magic and power. We had peace, no wars. It was safe enough that I could go where I wanted without fear of harm.
Although I knew there were princesses in the other realms, I had not yet met any of them in this life. None of us knew what curses the others would have. It was a worry that played on my mind often.
Would my friends have curses worse than mine or just as bad? I was unsure of how to go about the whole situation. Should I send a letter to them or face these problems on my own?
So many questions plagued my mind, so I would sit in a place where I could think without interruptions. My bench was perfect for that. So I would sit there and contemplate.
Life was going as good as it could. My cousins were close to me, and I enjoyed their company. But even then, I still felt alone. I knew it was because I was without my true love.
But I knew one day I would find him again; I had no choice. It was a choice of either find him, or suffer for eternity from
a curse I did not want. I did not want to watch all the people I love die while I remained.
