Queen Aamina

Give me a chance

                                                  Tymon walked over to Aamina and stood in front of her. Tymon: "You be nice to my son, or when you get home I will have them whip your legs with 20lashes." Aamina(with no fear): "If his anything like you, I would never coward." Tymon raised his hand to strike her but when he came down his hand was stop by something that he couldn't see. The more he tried the stronger the grip on his hand forcing it to stay put. Aamina looked forward waiting for the blow but it never came. She didn't realize it yet but her powers were starting to awaken little by little. Tymon gave up on trying to hit her and glared at her in confusion. Aamina let out a sigh of relief once he walked away. She didn't understand what stop him from hurting her, he had never showed mercy before, maybe it was because of Myka. Aamina started to think to her self Aamina(thinking to herself): "Maybe I should be nice to him. Myka: "Are you ready my love?"  Aamina(breaking from her thoughts): "You can say that." 

                                             Myka lead Aamina to the carriage and let her enter first. Myka: "So where do you wanna go first?" Aamina said nothing as the rode away from the castle. She knew it was only for a little bit but she wanted to enjoy her time away from that place. It brought her so much pain, and now she felt free, even if it was only for the moment. The two rode into the village in silence.  Aamina eyes lit up seeing all of the lanterns lit up and all of the designs on them all. Myka: "Its the lantern festival, even if the Greys believe in nothing we still light a lantern for our falling friends and family.  Aamina said nothing as she stared off into their lights. Myka(still trying to make conversation): "How about we go see the show then come back and see the festival?" Aamina stayed quiet as she tried to ignore Myka's comments. Myka(trying to contain his patients): "I'll take that as a yes." The rest of the ride was quiet as Myka thought of another way to break the ice and state his intentions for her. They pulled up to a big building that had no roof. Myka exited the carriage and then helped Aamina. The two walking into the big arena and found a seat off to the side up high. Aamina watched everybody take their seats as well, the sounds of drums began to beat in her ears. She smelled the dirt the from the arena floor, and memories of home began to flood her mind and and she couldn't help but smiled. Myka watched the grin spread across her face and realized that this was her first time off of castle grounds in years.  This must have felt like freedom for her he thought to himself. The big red curtains opening up in the act began. Aamina watched in horror as the grey people on the staged began to sing her people songs and dance her people dance. Aamina(opening her mouth for the first time the whole trip): "Do your people know no shame?" Myka turned to find Aamina staring at him with teary eyes. Myka(confused): "I'm sorry what?" Aamina(taking by anger): "You heard me, so this is why yall killed my people, to steal our songs and spiritual dances, We could have taught you, yall didn't have to kill us!" Myka(more confused now more than ever): "Aamina calm down people are staring, it's just a song and  a dance. Aamina(more pissed off than before): "No, In your people mouth and body, it's nothing more than a song and a dance, but to my people it was a gift from the Goddesses!" "Our body swayed with moonlight air and our voices reached out towards the sun, you've taking everything from me and you don't let me forget. Aamina ran out the arena and found her self down the road from the lanterns festival. Aamina wanted so bad to keep running until her legs gave out, but she knew that Tymon would have stopped at nothing to find her, and possible kill her, and giving that her parents wanted her to live she staid put. Myka(finally catching up with Aamina): "hey, wait up I'm sorry!" Aamina!" Aamina(turning around to face him): "I just want to go back to the palace and go to my room Myka can you respect that?" Myka(paused before answering): "I'm sorry Aamina, but I cannot!" Aamina(rolling her eyes): "Tsk, just what I thought your just like your father!" Myka(standing up straight): "I'm, nothing like that coward, I only can't respected it because I've been going five long years and the only thing I ever thought about was you Aamina. I had to survive so I could come back and learn how to love you properly, maybe something in the sense that your father would be proud of?" Aamina(even more anger): "Don't you ever in your f*****g life say that again, my father would never approve of me being with a Grey!" Myka(looking into Aamina's eyes): "What if they were only half grey, what if I'm half Lolonyo?"  Aamina: "Who putting you up to this, your father!" Myka(grabbing Aamina's arm): " Nobody is making me say or do anything Aamina, I'm serious I'm half Lolonyo!" Aamina(snatching her arm away): "Impossible, because if you where I would have had a luba!" Myka: "Whats a luba?" Aamina: "When Lolonyo girl turns into a Lolonyo woman at 18 a mating calls begans." "My skin would glow as bright as the sun calling every Lolonyo boy turned man to me so that my marking could curve the man that is worthy enough of me name into my skin, giving your the only man left, I would have called you to me already, I am the last of my kind!" Myka(half way grinning): "But your not 18 year, your 17 meaning your not yet a Lolonyo woman your still a girl?" Aamina grew quiet because he was right. She wasn't yet at the age to find her lover. Myka: "Give me a chance I will  finish learning your ways and court you the right way I promise Great Aamina!" Aamina eyes widen no one had called her by her former title since her people had been slaughter.  Aamina(shocked): "Your wasting your time grey, your not my kind so I would never stoop so low I will die alone." The rest of the night the two walked the streets looking at the Lanterns both not really paying attention to the lanterns but to each other. Myka wanted to study everything he liked about her, and Aamina wanted to know his motives behind telling such a great lie.
