Memories and Emotions
1122 Words
Sitting at the back of the SUV and watching the forest through those tinted glasses was never as interesting as seeing it with my own eyes. Listening to Amun and Ramsy talk about random things has always been a nice silencing remedy for me. Resting my head against the sit I close my eyes just to rest my burning eyes for a few moments before we get to the coven.
“Aria, you would never be able to know what emotions are from today” my mother says to me as I lay in a pool of my own blood “anytime you so much as think of anything that will give you the least bit of emotion your eye sight will be taken away from you and the color grey will be your companion until the thing you felt joy towards is ripped from you or killed. A sudden pain begins at the back of my head and the light from my eyes fill up the room and with it my eye sight is taken and the colors around me are no more and all I can see is the color grey.
“Your majesty, we are home” Ramsy speaks out to me, at the other side of the door, with that the door is opened for me to get out.
I step into the house I made a home. Everything in my home is decorated of my favorite colors grey and black.
“Welcome home, Princess Aria” I turn around to see little Adrian holding up his arms so that he can be carried. I raise him up to be the same eye level as me
“Your majesty” the house maid Lea speaks out
“How long has it been since he fed?” I ask staring at his eyes and checking his teeth
“It’s been two days your majesty, he refuses to feed unless you feed him”
“It’s okay Lea you may leave, I’ll take care of the rest” I say walking into the kitchen
“Yes, your Majesty” Lea replies walking out of my house.
“Ready to feed Adrian?” I ask him with a stoic expression on my face, how such a little boy could still want me to be with him after I give him nothing emotionally still baffles me.
The first day I found him he refused to let go and since then he never wants me to let go, I won’t break him by letting go. After he is fed I hold him in my arms and take him upstairs for his bath, and when done I lay him in bed.
“Princess Aria?”
“Yes Adrian”
“Will you ever leave me?” he asks staring me straight in the eye
For a six year old he definitely seemed broken beyond repair just like me “I won’t let go of you Adrian” I say to him still with a stoic face on
“Thank you, Princess Aria” he says to me while closing his eyes “Good night Princess Aria”
“Good night” I say to him as I walk out.
.................................................................
Many nights I forced myself to at least feel something, but it's been years now and I still feel nothing. All I can be is this empty shell of who I once was.
Sitting in my office as I indulge myself in the numerous piles of paperwork, I lose sight of time,
"Princess Aria,"
"Yes Amun" I reply without raising my head to look his direction
" It's time for the ritual" He replies
"I see" I say leaning back to get a better view of him "are the preparations made?"
"Yes princess".
lifting myself of my sit gracefully I reply
"Let's go down to the fields then, has everyone assembled?"
"Yes princess"
I walk past him and make my way to the fields where everyone is dressed appropriately for am event lovely colors fill up and light the fields that are so ever dark with shadows lurking behind to get a feel out of anyone that isn't strong enough to withstand their tactics of seduction.
Walking past my people I take steady steps, with each step I am taken closer to the couples that stand in front of the crowd.
They all bow to me as a sign of respect as I make my way to the couple.
"You may all rise" I speak out as I stare at the large crowd, from the stand at which I stand on.
" We are here today to welcome the birth of a new born" I say as I take the child from the hands of her mother.
I stare into the eyes of the child still having a stoic face.
She looks back at me, with equal intrigue and then I look at her hair and I notice she her hair color is white.
"I bless you with the gift to see day," I whisper " upon you I bestow the strength of our great line of ancestors Archeleous known to have the brut, raw strength of a bull. the wisdom of Merino.
the love like that of a mother" I say to her the entire crowd remains quiet as they await my next move,
"Amun" I call out to him.
He takes a blade and makes a small cut on my wrist enough to draw blood, I place a few drops in her mouth.
I watch her suck, a few seconds later her eyes turn from a shade of brown to a blue color
"I name her Azule, she will bring clear sky's to us" I speak out with authority and the crowd cheers.
I hand the baby over to her parents and walk down the stage and walk past the crowd as the all touch me, a tradition that has gone on for a long time now. this gesture shows respect and gratitude.
stepping into my office with a slight headache.
I lay my head against my sit rubbing my temples.
just a few more minutes of rest is what I really want
Amun comes rushing into my office
"There should be a good reason for this form of disrespect Amun" I reply calmly still with my eyes closed
"Yes Princess, the palace was attacked"
he replies
I stay still and remain calm
"And the king?" I ask still not opening my eyes
"He escaped but he is hanging by a thread"
" Ok" I reply
" And there is more, Antipas is alive and he is seeking you out"
"I see"
