Chapter 1: Princesses

The wind picked up and the leaves swirled in the air before floating back to the ground. It was a cool and cloudy morning, perfect for a stroll...and that was exactly what one girl was doing.

She has long strawberry pink hair, which was tied up in two pigtails, that swayed gently whenever she moved. She had deep scarlet eyes, which held a sorrowful past yet you could still see that her eyes still sparked with a raging fire. She had a strong but lithe figure and she moved as if she had wings; powerful, agile, and yet graceful.

The girl was lying in the middle of a field, in the center of a vast forest, surrounded by different kinds of flowers. She had her eyes raised towards the heavens as if she knew the wisdom it held but she dare not ask questions for she knew it would give her no answer. She let out a huge sigh before getting up and headed towards an enormous castle.

She was taking slow steps towards the castle when she suddenly stopped on her tracks. Her eyes widened as though she remembered something of great importance. She rushed inside the castle leaving only a trail of dust behind her.

Yelps and shrieks were heard throughout the castle as a pink blur swept through the corridors like a gust of wind. Suddenly, the girl was standing outside an opened room with her hands on her knees for support while she was panting heavily.

"Mint, it is not proper for a princess, especially the heir to the throne, to be seen slouching over her legs and panting like some sort of lunatic dog. AN: No offence to dog lovers...I'm a dog lover too! Honestly dear sister, don't you have any manners. I, for one, am not positively sure you can run the kingdom properly since you can't even stand correctly." said a voice from inside the room.

Mint stopped panting and jerked her head to glare at her sister. Maya was Mint's 12-year-old sister. AN: Mint's 14 by the way She had the same long strawberry pink hair but instead of tying it up, she left it loose around her shoulders. She also had the same scarlet eyes but her held wisdom beyond her years but also pride. She did not move with grace like Mint did, but her actions held an aura of authority as if she was capable of carrying the world on her shoulders.

Mint stomped forward towards Maya before she came to an abrupt halt. Mint inched so close to Maya's face that Maya had to take a step backwards before saying. "I'll have you know that I'm letting that go...for now...since it is mom's birthday..." The spark in Mint's eyes faltered a bit but Mint regained her composure. "But later...I'll kick yer sorry arse so hard you'll kiss the moons!" AN: Chrono Cross...XD

Maya rolled her eyes then she walked off towards another door but before she disappeared behind it she said: "Oh! And dear sister, please remember to change into a more appropriate attire for tonight's banquet. Those rags will never do! I'll send someone up to your so-called-room to help you. See you tonight." She closed the door behind her and Mint could hear her footsteps slowly fading away.

Mint started stomping her foot on the ground before she screamed so loud that the whole castle shook. Mint slammed the door she came from and made her way up to her bedroom. She climbed up the many staircases and secret passages she knew so well from having roamed the castle so many times out of boredom before reaching her destination.

Mint's bedroom was located at the tallest torrent in the castle because she requested it. She didn't want anyone disturbing her and also because she loved the view from her window. It had a view of the whole kingdom and it looked especially beautiful during sunset when the sun casts its finally light atop all the houses and streets.

Mint dropped on her queen-sized bed before falling into a sweet slumber.

AN: Hehe...You know...maybe the reason why Mint's jumpkicks are so strong is because she walks around the castle too much. And who know...maybe she DOES live in the tallest tower of the castle and that's why she has powerful legs. XD
