Their Royal Majesties: Chapter 1- Sworn To The Land
Leafy was sitting in a tree, in her favorite spot in the forest, slowly letting butterflies land on her finger, and nuzzle closely with their fuzzy faces. A very lovely green one looked as if it didn't want to leave its perch on top of her head. Leafy sighed, and chuckled at the calm hum of nature, looking around and giggling in contempt as she slowly rested her back on the branch she was sitting on, lying down on the wooden salvation from the harsh world that was described thoroughly by her parents, her family all together.
Leafy had apparently drifted off, as she was shaken awake by someone prodding at her with a stick. "Mm?" Leafy asked, slowly rubbing at her eyes and looking down to find a very anxious person, teeth grinding against each other as his or her eyes focused on Leafy's chest. "Hey! Is that what you woke me up for?" Leafy asked. "N-no...the marking across your breasts...is it a tattoo?" the person asked. "No, it's my birthmark, why?" Leafy asked. " I need you to come down from that tree, and follow me somewhere" the person said.
Leafy was confused, but slowly started her very short journey downwards from her greenery-filled utopia. "Where are we going?" Leafy asked. "See that castle back there?" the person asked. "Yeah, it's been empty for years hasn't it? Because they couldn't find anyone so they just kind of governed with who they had, since there was nobody of that bloodline left?" Leafy asked. "Well, ummm, we just found someone" the person said. "Hu- oh noooo, I cannot do that, better find someone else! I have two sisters if you want me to show them to you!" Leafy said, trying to run off.
"You have to, you are the only person in line, not next, or close, you have to assume this position!" the person said. "B-but, my..." Leafy stuttered. "Whomever you wish from your family may stay at the castle with you, but you have to come with me!" The person continued to argue as he tugged Leafy by her arm towards the flattest area on the peninsula.
"I've found a member of the pure bloodline!" the person shouted. Everyone on the lowest floor of the castle gasped, and turned, staring in Leafy's direction. The first thing they probably noticed was that Leafy was wearing a tattered brown dress patched with leaves, and no shoes, hair messily matted together.
