From the Sky
Prologue
Amu's POV
(Flashback)
I was 3 years old.
I was happy, excited.
The images were blurry, but I could make out one distinguishing feature.
It was him. Ikuto. I saw his cute, childish face, full of happiness. The swirling sapphire pools were happy as he gazed upon me. We would run around in the Palace Gardens for hours. I played with him every day, but this memory stood out. I remembered the sweet smells of the flowers and lush greenery. We played and enjoyed each other's company. We would play tag and other games young children played. We raced around the garden, him chasing after me. I was giggling as I ran, calling out to him, and daring him to catch me. In my joy, I failed to realize an uneven brick.
I tripped and braced for impact. When pain didn't come I felt a grip tighten around my wrist. I looked up at my savior. Time stood still for that moment. I saw his face. He looked at me with a determined look, making sure I was kept out of harm's way. His eyes were full of love and determination swirled with the fear that I would fall. His dark blue hair whipped out of his face, showing the speed in his motion. I was breathless. Though I was only 3, I knew that he was my knight in shining armor.
(End Flashback)
I sighed. That was years ago. Ikuto had become prince of the Dumpty Key Kingdom, he moved away the very next day after he saved me from tripping. I hadn't seen him since. I didn't even get to say goodbye. The same day when he left, I became princess of the Humpty Lock Kingdom. It was my duty to serve the kingdom and my parents.
I closed my eyes as a gentle breeze blew. I was at my favorite spot in the castle, the turret with roses encircling the outer rim. I leaned against the edge; I could see my whole beloved kingdom from here. The fragrance of the roses washed over me as another gale swept softly over me. Everything was peaceful.
My heart ached with longing. I was wondering if I was able to ever see my shining knight again. I saw my shoulder-length pink hair fly in front of my face. I always came up here at the end of the day. I gazed at the setting sun. It lit up the land with a gentle, orange glow. The sky above it grew progressively darker. The sky above me now was midnight blue, with twinkling diamond stars dotting it. Every night, they were there. I saw his face in the dark sky, gazing lovingly at me.
I sighed again. I must head down to my chambers now. I was 11, the proper age for a princess to take care of many royal duties. I closed my eyes as I walked down the familiar stone steps. I wondered what it would be like to get married. It would be arranged, as was my duty. Hope flared in my chest that maybe the prince I would marry would be my beloved Ikuto.
I reached my chambers at the bottom of the steps. I quickly changed into my nightgown and sank into my bed. I drifted off to sleep thinking of my special knight; knowing that he was forever out of my reach.
