Eve stared out the window. She was thinking about the group that had visited her father recently- the caretakers and their friends. They had left the day before. She wondered what they were doing now.
Had they gotten to see any more dragons yet? She wished she had been allowed to go with them. She thought about what she had requested of Seth before he left.
She wanted to go with them. She had offered to get a horse and meet them outside of the city. Seth had told her not to, and he had some convincing reasons. She wondered what would've happened if she had gone. Would they have allowed her to come?
Of course, she couldn't do anything about it now. She had made her choice, and it was the right one. Not necessarily the easiest or most fun choice, but the right one.
Eve sighed, and wondered for the thousandth time where Seth was. She had been doing a lot of that lately. Wondering.
She wondered where they were, what they were doing, what cool things they had gotten to see in the day that they had been gone that she would probably never see in her entire life.
She wondered if anything would ever change. Eve thought the neutrality was stupid- obviously, because it was- and wondered why no one spoke up. Lomo had, and he had been locked up for it. Eve wondered for the first time if there was something she could do about it.
She was only twelve years old. Could she really make a difference in the thousands-of-years-old tradition of neutrality that her people held? Surely one kid couldn't make such a change.
But what if she could? A change could be as easy as speaking up. Lomo had done it. And maybe, just maybe, since her father was the emperor, people would listen to her.
Yes, Eve thought, standing up won't be hard. The worst punishment she would get was the dungeon. That was Lomo's only punishment, and really, the dungeon wasn't much of a punishment. She could do it. It wasn't that hard.
So, this is my first story on this site. Not my first time writing, but on this site. I'm pretty excited, and I'm not expecting the best quality.
If you don't remember, Eve is from Dragonwatch. She's one of the Fair Folk. She wanted Seth to help her sneak out so she could go with them.
