Strange Waters

Interlude: in my head

 Sandy is still very anxious of what is to come next.... She had day dreams of returning to her family as a hero and the survivor of a ship wreck. She promised to sleep better when she is in her bed in a world where she grew up to. Things were so different here.... She could only read about real life stone castles and houses on a Rock but it was a reality at the moment. She even lives in one. Sandy yearned to know about her possibilities of going back home. She sat all night thinking about all this... It was late and day had break forth. The sun started shinning on their faces as Sandy could not hide her tears anymore. 

Prince Jath turned once again to stare at Sandy while he tells her to be calm and worry less but he never said a thing about how he would do everything possible to make her go back home to her parents. Sandy knew her plan had fail having to show the prince her emotional part but he never let his vulnerability leak secrets. She cheered up, as the prince offered her a side hug to soothe her. She gave in. Soon after they both got up and headed back to their chambers to freshen up before the Sun sets at it's peak. 

The Emperor knew nothing about his son personal interest in the Foreigner in his Empire but he had servants who were more than the king's eye. Ibinabo saw all and reported to Lord Nathan who later councils the Emperor on it. The Emperor had set ibinabo to watch closely the relationship his son had with Sandy. She stays awake at night and hardly sleeps at day. Ibinabo was a workaholic. Yes, but she was a creation of purpose and she was to serve. So it all didn't affect her services to the Emperor to a large extent. She was taking a patrol walk through the castle garden to get some air that morning before Sandy and Prince Jath had come for their training. Having noticed the movements that were upon her climbed down the stream. She had held her breathe through out the whole time. She has been trained and empowered by the chiefs who were described as spirit creatures. They were the ones qualified enough to be able to speak to the Moon. Ibinabo was a special lady, the kind that no man would walk on. She defied the law of balance she possess special abilities more than others. She had a beautiful face and it could be noticed anywhere especially when she takes off her veil. She was so beautiful the chefs deemed her beauty a threat. She had to cover her face and was given a scar before she was sent from the spirit land offshore to serve the Atlantic crown. She had to deduce herself deep submerged underwater. She could gold her breathe for so long it was almost as she she breathed like an Aquatic. Sandy and the prince were long gone and submerged in their conversation earlier on that their minds were clouded by thought they would sleep over as the head in to the chambers, not noticing that Sandy forgot her hair band by the lakeside. It was her favorite because it was given to her by her mum. It's special to her. Ibinabo picked it up as she came fort the from the water... gave it a long stare and held onto it, Wiggled her hair to dry off the water that dripped down her neck from her hair. She headed to her chambers which was not so far off. She had to cover her face with the veil. so she ran as fast she could before the sun sets on her forehead. Soon after comes back when she notices she had left her hair band outside. It's too late anyways. She would check back later when she is out for training.
