At 17 years of age with brown waist long hair and blue eyes that sparkle like the sea, Lydia White will never expect the life that she'll end up with.
(x..O..x)
"Alright, Hunter, I'm heading out!" I said to the young knight. Hunter was 20 years old and has secretly been teaching me sword mastery for several years.
My name is Lydia White but when I go out into town, I am clad with a black cloak and go by the name Kory Black however, most people just call me Kor. A war was raging out here in Titania kingdom and as its princess, I'm ordered to stay at the castle 24/7. I'm not helpless like Princess Elizabeth, I'm not a coward like Princess Mary, Im not Greedy like Prince Ross or bossy like his sister, Princess Anastasia. I'm brave. I hate seeing people protect me while I shrink away and watch them die.
6 years now since the war started. 6 years since I started going to Hunter, the son of the best knight we have. 6 years since I decided I was going to make a difference. "Be careful, Lydia, don't let them see you leave or both of us will be in trouble" he warned. "Shut up, Hunter! What if somebody hears you call me that?!" He smirked. "Oh I'm sorry, Kor" I rolled my eyes and swiftly walked out of the secluded area, Cloak hood over my head.
Passing the harbor, I look out and the burning fire reflects in my eyes. War zone was the only way to describe it. What has my kingdom become of? I looked down and kicked a small piece of stone that has disengaged from the road below. Not a day passes when cannon shots aren't hurled at the town.
A gleam flickers out of the corner of my eye. "Huh?" I looked toward the source of reflection and see a cannonball propelling towards me. Before I could scream, before I could even shed a tear or say goodbye, the cannonball hits the ground and explodes, launching me into the crystal blue waters of the sea. The same sea that the Dolphins frolic in. The same sea many compare my eyes to. The sea I will find peace in.
