Enjoy and check out some of my other quick stories.
A world yet to uncover
He was only a young prince, going through his early teen years, red spots dotting his broad face. Most Younger girls fancied over him and dreamed of his handsome looks. Expectations were high of him and all the lower town looked up to him as an example. Arthur Pendragon son of the King and future heir to the throne, destined for the great power over Camelot, But a young boy nonetheless. Young boys get curious.
The young boy had seen what dangers Camelot faced and he saw how his father fought against these dangers. Magic was the thing Arthur saw Uther rage over, shouting, ordering ,pacing. Men and women screamed for their lives while strapped to wooden posts, fire blazing beneath their feet, in the same courtyard he had played in. He wondered often, who these screaming figures were and what they were set out to do.
One bright, sunny morning when only serving boys and bakers were awake, Arthur decided to go on a little adventure, fighting imaginary dragons and evil witches in the woods surrounding his grand home. He did this often and knew that as long as the castle was in sight, he was safe... that's what his Father had told him. Brandishing his small wooden sword, Arthur galloped through the tall fern leaves and hid behind mossy trees, panting and smiling. The serial game he had been playing ,in which he chased the evil beast who climbed trees, upheld it's fun reputation and the prince was having a marvellous time.
When he was waving his sword round his head like he had been taught, he heard a rustle from behind a huge fallen tree trunk and lowered his toy. Carefully, he stepped over to investigate.
"Hello?" He called, waiting for a reply from behind the log. More rustling came along and Arthur took a step back. Suddenly, a head appeared and a face stared at the young boy.
"Hello." it said as it stood up to reveal itself.
"Who are you?" asked the prince, finding it unusual to meet another person in the woods.
"Maia... who are you." she replied, walking over to Arthur and bobbing her head. She was wearing a pale pink shirt tucked into a pair of tight leather trousers and her hair was neatly tied into a plait falling over her shoulder. She was roughly the same age as Arthur so when the stood facing each other, they were eye to eye.
"I'm Arthur..." He said, uncertain how else to respond.
The two teenagers stood awkwardly in the clearing together, looking at each other, until Maia broke the uncomfortable silence.
"Can I play?" She asked Arthur, taking a stick from the floor and waving it about.
"You? But you're a girl!" remarked Arthur. He didn't know that girls could play fighting games; Morgana certainly wouldn't
Maia Pulled a face and tapped Arthur on the shoulder.
"Your it!" she shouted and ran in the opposite direction. Arthur wasn't going to be beaten by this girl so he chased after her and soon they were in a wonderful game. They climbed trees and threw stones and even dipped their feet in the pond, until the sun hung low over the forest. By this time, Maia and Arthur were getting along well and Maia told Arthur a secret.
"I can make fire!" she whispered. Arthur looked confused so Maia showed him. With a simple enchantment, she made her eyes glow like the embers of a dying fire, swirling flames and flowers round her pupils like birds circling the sun. Arthur stared in awe and his mouth hung open. Maia giggled and started to walk away.
"Will I see you again?"Called Arthur after her.
"You bet! same place tomorrow." she replied, calling over her shoulder at the Prince.
Arthur smiled. He would like that. He liked Maia and her flaming eyes. He turned and ran toward the turrets of the grand castle and didn't stop till he flopped down on his nice bed inside.
