Absolute Lies
Chapter 1: A Thousand Times Before
Mina's eyes opened and stared at the ceiling of her room. Decorated with a mixture of her fathers and brothers crystals, they sparkled in the early morning sun. She smiled lightly and glanced down at the small and snoozing Goblin that had settled himself on her stomach. Her hand slowly rose from the bed and started petting his back.
The Goblin snuggled closer to her and snored a little in his sleep. Mina giggled silently, "Oh, Scamper. You're such a ham." she said lovingly, before gently picking him up and placing him on the pillow beside her. She kissed his head gently before she walked over to the wide window was letting the light in. She gracefully sat on the thick wall that encircle the gap in the wall and looked over her kingdom as they rose.
Her blond hair was grown out and fell straight down her back and over her arms, just barely reaching her elbows. Her hair was like her mothers, thick and smooth but not overwhelmingly heavy. She leaned back against the wall and let out a happy sigh, fiddling with one of the blue and silver streaks that ran throughout her hair.
She may had lost the crazy hairstyle, but she still had to keep some of her personality.
Her lavender night gown rested off her shoulders and fell to her ankles, the fabric was thin to account for the summer time heat that was common in the Labyrinth and her bed sheets were thick to account for the sudden cold spells they got during the summer nights. She smiled looking out over the goblins who were already hard at work, carrying on with their daily lives.
She hummed as a wind picked up and began to carry her voice through the kingdom.
"I wonder down the pathway,
Through the misty moor
Just like I knew he did, A thousand times before
Voices seem to echo
Come Talk With Me
Just Around the Corner
Just Another Mile
I have heard the stories
Her legend serves her well
A mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairytale
A ratatata gypsy with a toothless smile said
Sit with me, my darling, let's talk a little while.
And the war going one
Seeming ever longer
On the way to Mandalay
And the war goes on
Forever will I wonder
On the way to Mandalay."
She smiled as the wind encircled her. A horse took off out of it's stable a smiling rider on its back.
"The miles went on for hours
The minutes turn to days
Could I have been misguided by the mystics ways?
The minutes last forever, At least it does for me
Caught between what happened and what would never be.
And the War goes on
Seeming ever longer on the way to Mandalay
And the War goes on
Forever will I wonder,
On my way to Mandalay
And the War goes on,
Seemng ever longer on the way to Mandalay
And the War goes on
Forever will I wonder on my way
To Mandalay."
She smiled and looked down at the horse that now stood under the window.
"Good morning my Princess."
"Good morning, My Lord." She said affectionaltly and she leaned forward in the window a bit.
"You're voice is as beautiful as always, Your highness. It makes the flowers bloom."
"Now, now Lord Gryphon, you know as well as I that the flowers bloom on their own."
A beautiful white rose that had faerie dust on the ends rose the feet up to her window and placed itself in her hand.
"That flower begs to differ, My Princess."
She smiled and laughed a little, "Gryphon, we have followed this routine every morning for almost an entire lunar cycle, will you please tell me what you are planning?"
"Fine, meet me in the gardens for lunch this afternoon."
"I will be there."
Gryphon smiled and rode away on his horse.
Mina laughed a little and smelled her flower, "Such an odd man." she said as she placed the flower in the vase by her bedside along with the others from the month before and shook her head, "I wonder what in the world he's up to." she said before she turned and was rushed to prepare for the day.
Surprise!! Hehe, as if I didn't have enough to do. Anyways, I was reading this story to one of the kids I babysit and I realized that alot of stuff wasn't really cleared out and Mina's character wasn't quiet where I wanted her. So this little bunny popped out. I'm think about making it a new story, but I want you're opinion. Do you want to me to keep going with this, you know really find out who Mina is and what her relationship is with her family, or do you want me to leave it where it was?
Leave me a Review or something to let me know. Thanks so much guys!
