chapter 1 - I want to look beyond these walls

It was one fine sunny thursday morning in the Kingdom of Brightmoon. In this Kingdom there was a beautiful city called Melania, this city was devided into two parts. One side was where the castle stood and all the nobels lived, the other side was where all of the commoners lived. All the stores were in the center of the city, where all kinds of people shopped. In the center of the marketplace stood a huge fountain, it had lions and tigers in the middle and water poured out of the tigers mouths. The castle was a wonderess site, thick walls surrounded it proventing anyone getting in and out. To get in to the castle you had to go through the front gates and state your buisness there or you were not allowed in. Infront of the castle was a big courtyard, they even had one in the center. Behind the castle there was a beautifull garden, where a stream ran through with a bridge that crossed over it. The garden had all sorts of different flowers and trees in it. When you reached the front doors of the magnificent looking castle and you immediately walked into a massive main hall. In this hall you had stairs that led upstairs and downstairs. Behind the doors straight ahead from the front entrance and under the stairs was the throne room. The hallway to the left led to many rooms like the Ballroom, dinningroom, kitchens and staff rooms. The hallway to the right led to other rooms such as the lounges, the drinksbar, billiardroom, meetingrooms and the bathrooms. Going down the stairs you end up in the washrooms where they did the washing of clothes and kept the cleaning stuff for washing the floors and things like that. Upstairs you would find the bedrooms, each bedroom had it's own bathroom. All the rooms and the bathrooms were very spacious.

The family that lived in this castle was the royal family Kon. Their majesties King and Queen Kon with their son prince Lee and daughter princess Ray. The King was tall and muscular and had jet black hair. His eyes were brownish red. The Queen had long dark brown hair and golden sunlit eyes. Her frame was slim and finely curved. Prince Lee is 17 years old and has black hair that went past his shoulders, his eyes were just like his fathers. His body was very muscular, he was a strong fighter as well. Princess Ray was a beautifull young girl, she had extremely long ravenblack hair. Her eyes were golden and mostly full of joy, she was the baby of the family their gem. She is 2 years younger than prince Lee, making her 15 years old. Lee loved his sister dearly and he would protect her from anyone and anything. Both childeren had pets, Lee had a male lion called Galeon and Ray had a male tiger called Driger.

Well Ray was sitting up in her room on the bed looking out of the window. She was very deep in thought and unconciously stroking Drigers fur. She didn't hear her personal butler walk in the door. Her butlers name was Riko and he had short red hair and black eyes. He and princess Ray were very good friends, more like best of friends.

"Princess Ray, I'm here to tell you that your mother wants to speak to you!"

Ray jumped out of her skin when she heard the voice from behind her.

"Oh hey Riko, why does my mother want to speak to me?" Ray said turning towards Riko.

"I don't really know princess, I don't ask questions!"

"Riko didn't I tell you to drop the formalitys and just call me Ray when your in my room." Ray beamed a smile at Riko.

"Yes princess....I mean Ray, but it's hard. I'll keep on trying though. Want me to accompany you to your mothers room?" Riko said nicely.

"Sure I would love that. Let's go!" Ray took Rikos arm and they walked towards her mothers room.

Ray entered the room without Riko and saw that her mother was cross- stitching, one of her favorite occupations. Ray prefered to ride her horse called Spirit that her father gave her for her 10th birthday. When her mother saw her sit down in a chair opposite her, she put her sewing down and looked at her daughter.

"Ah, my dear child. How are you?" She stroked Rays face with her hand.

"I'm okay mother! So why did you want to speak with me?" Ray stared at her mother with huge golden orbs.

"I have reschedualed your weekly occupations. I'm letting you have the firday every week to do what ever you want. Your starting to become a big girl now." Her mother smiled softly at her.

"Can I even leave the castle walls?" Rays eyes were full of hope.

Ray had always wanted to see what was behind the castle walls. She had only been inside and her curiosity grew when Lee told her about what he did outside the walls. But her mother looked saddly at her.

"No my child. It is dangerous outside the castle walls for a princess. I don't want my Baby getting hurt."

"But mother, I've never been outside the castles walls. I just want to see what's there." Ray looked pleadingly at her mother.

"Let me see what I can do, ok Ray dear." Her mother sighed in defeat.

"Oh, thank you mum." Ray gave her a beautifull smile and ran off to tell Riko the news.

She ran down the hallways and towards the staffrooms where she new she would find him. She ran into the room bumping into Zarina in the process.

"Ah, princess what's the rush. Are you alright?" She asked concerned.

"Oh I'm fine. I'm looking for Riko is he here?"

"Yes, he is. He is cleaning your saddle in the stable."

"Thanks Zarina!" Ray waved over her shoulder.

"No problem princess."

Zarina was the caretaker of the horses in the castle, she made sure they were healthy and got their exercise. She fed them and bred them as well. Her favorite horses were Spirit and Ixion, they were Rays and Lees horses. Ray spotted Riko and called his name. Riko looked up and smiled at her when he saw her.

"What are you so happy about?" Riko had noticed that Ray looked happier than normal.

"I might get to go out to see what's behind the castle walls. I've always wanted to go!" Ray was beaming with delight.

"That's great. When you've been, you have to tell me all about it, okay!"

"Yep, I can't wait."

*~*~*~meanwhile in the throne room*~*~*~

"But my dear, she really wants to go and if we send Lee with her and a few guards I don't think anything will happen." The Queen reasoned with her husband.

"Well I still don't think it is a good idea. My little girl going out into the big city."

"Come on father, I'll go with her you know I would never let anything happen to her." Lee knew as well how much Ray wanted to go into the city.

"Oh alright, you can go tomorrow, but if anything happens to her I will not let her go again." The King wasn't very happy with the idea but gave in.

"I'll go and tell Ray!" With that Lee left the room to find Ray.

"Thank you dear!" The Queen kissed her husband lovingly on the cheek.

*~*~*~back at the stables*~*~*~

After a long while of searching Lee finally found Ray at the stables. He couldn't help but chuckle watching Riko and Ray cleaning the saddle together.

"Hey little sister!"

Ray looked up to see her brother and smiled brightly at him.

"Hey brother what brings you here?"

"I've just come to tell you that tomorrow me and some guards are going to take you into the city. I know that you have been looking forward to this!"

"Really, oh wow that is great. Thank you!" Ray jumped up and hugged her brother. She even hugged Riko, who fell of his chair and took Ray with him. They both laughed their heads off, Lee just shook his head and smiled. After they finished cleaning the saddle and Ray had finished lunch with her parents she decided to call it a day. She went to her quarters and started one of her lovely paintings. She was painting a picture of her horse and Driger. When she had enough she got ready for bed. Jumping onto the full Queen sized bed, she wriggled under the covers and drifted of to sleep with a smile on her face.

*~*~*~the next morning*~*~*~

Ray was up early and raced around the castle waking Lee up and getting ready. Lee didn't know what hit him at first, but when he saw Ray racing through the room and down the hall. That's when he knew he better get up. Ray asked Zarina to get the horses ready for her and asked Riko to help her. When everything was finaly ready, her mother said goodbye and they rode of on their horses. Ray was in awe when she saw the sights they were wonderfull to her, her eyes shone happily. They arrived at a place where they could leave their horses. Ray got of her horse and bound her to the pole.

"You be a good girl okay Spirit." Ray stroked her maine.

"Come on Ray let's go!" Lee gave Ray his arm and they walked off in the direction of the marketplace. Ray looked at all the stores and at all the kinds of people that walked around the city. Ray was looking at the huge fountain when all of a suddon 3 people caught her eye. Especial this one boy.
