I am originally from the water kingdom, you see there are four elemental kingdoms air, water, fire and the earth which makes up all the other regular human kingdoms. I have lived on Akanmi on earth almost all my life after I left water because of some disagreement with my parents.
“Jade, you should not behave in that manner, it is not right for a princess to engage in acts of battle” my mother said to me, i roll my eyes because everything i like to do, a princess should not do. I sigh and say to my sparring partner “Kobi, take my sword and oil it, we will continue some other time”. Then I turn to reply to the queen my mother “ma, i am going to be a different kind of princess, i want to be a warrior princess”. My mum gives me a disappointed look, shakes her head and says “you should go in and freshen up then come up to the ladies room, we have some embroidery to do ''. Then she walks away.
I stand glued to the spot and scream in my head embroidery! instead of using needles on cloth, i’d rather mop the entire vasus river. Giving myself a mental slap at the impossibility of my thoughts, I trudge towards my room to shower.
I headed to the ladies room and joined in the embroidery task when I heard Lady San talking in a hushed tone with the queen about the wildness of the wyverns in our kingdom. Yes we had them, not so much but the few trained for battle in case we had to fight in any war.
I didn't think before I blurted out “I want to ride one and lead the armies to ..” I did not get to complete my statement when my mother shunned me immediately. I had gotten enough of it, I won't be the cuddled princess who got everything done for, that was when I hatched the plan to run from home.
That night, I leave a note on my dresser and pack up some supplies, make it through the kitchen and through the delivery door. When l made it out of the castle walls l breathed a sigh of relief and moved on with my adventure, deciding to cross kingdoms using my gift of speed. I did not bother with transportation although I had to take one at some point so I would not burn out.
The next morning the queen went into to Jade’s room to lecture her own sitting postures when she found the note that said
I Want to find an adventure mother. I will return. Let the wanderer free!
The queen was so vexed she marched into the throne room and lamented to the king but he just said “let her be my queen” and just like that the queen decided to leave Jade to her fate.
I lived on a stone wall at the edge of Akanmi. Everything was going smoothly until one day, warriors from Oron came charging to attack. I was scared and worried but told myself I won’t be seen in my high up stone wall. The soldiers of Akanmi camped on their topmost wall to fight off the invaders and stop a breach.
Although not a day went by when I did not train with the warriors but I decided to not fight in this battle as it was not mine.
A day goes by and I feel hidden and safe, until some Oron warriors begin climbing up my stonewall and I have to quickly pack up my essentials and move. I was almost caught while escaping through what has been my kitchen for the past 5 years. When one of the warriors spots me, and shouts “hey! You there” I start a run for it and once I make it out of the cave I use the gifts I was born with, I basically run so fast it’s like I am flying. The Oron warriors did not stand a chance and I made it in time to cross kingdoms to air. I figured I should stay in the air for a while but they were also having some kind of war, so finally I had to return home to water.
Getting there I am met with my not so angry mother and I apologize to her and everyone else I must have upset with my stunt. Two weeks after my arrival rumors of a breach to our walls began flying around and just the next day on a bright and sunny afternoon the unrest began. Meetings upon meetings where battle strategy was discussed was the order of the day. I try to join the fight but my mom will not have it, as the only heir she would not lose me.
At night when the battle had raged on, I spy the invaders nearing the castle walls and i got pissed what kind of princess will I be If I do not save my kIngdom so Irush down and rally the soldIers to not allow the breach, my mom seeing the fire in my eyes let me be for once. We all gathered the wyverns and at one look at the midnight blue coloured wyvern I knew she was for me as I was for her. We get saddled in and with a rallying cry I lead us to sure victory. I am the warrior princess and this will be our victory.
The End!
