A New Identity
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or Black Beauty!
This is a medieval fic, please tell me what you think. Sora is a princess who thinks she is a disgrace to her family, so she runs away to start a new life.
Chapter 1: Running Away
A sixteen-year-old princess with mid-back auburn hair was sitting in her boudoir. There was to be a ball that night and her presence was required. Sora Takenouchi had never been very polite with her parents' guests, because they were all pretentious, eccentric, and spoiled people. Not all of them were that way, but most of them were. Sora hated being a princess. She wanted to be free, not stuck inside the palace walls.
Sora thought she was a disgrace to her entire family. She was not at all lady-like, she wasn't beautiful like her best friend Mimi, and she wasn't, what her grandmother called, 'Queen Material.' This made Sora cry; she wanted her parents to be proud of her. She wanted to be a great queen, just like her mother and grandmothers; she wanted to be known in all the land for that.
Sora was brushing her long auburn hair, when she looked at herself in the mirror. "I am a disgrace to the Takenouchi race. I don't deserve parents like the ones I have; I am not good enough for them." Sora whispered to herself. "Tonight, is going to be as horrible as every night. This night is going to be the worst, for I am supposed to meet my future husband. I cannot attend." And with that, Sora grabbed a pair of scissors and cut her long hair to shoulder-length; that way, it would not be as obvious that she was the princess. She rushed to her closet, pulled out a simple maple-colored dress, and put it on. She gathered a few belongings and put them into a suitcase. Sora thought bringing money was not required, but she brought some anyway. The princess scribbled a note to her parents explaining her departure and placed it in the middle of her bed. It read:
My Dearest Parents,
I now realize that I am a disgrace to this family. I overheard a few conversations between you and Grandmother, and I find out that I am not able to fulfill my duty as princess, let alone queen. I have gone to find a new identity, to start a new life. Hopefully, it will be successful, if not I will not return, but carry on. Please do not search for me, I will be all right. Who knows? Someday our paths will cross again, but until then, goodbye.
Your Daughter,
Sora
Tears filled her eyes as she crept out of the palace and to the stables. There, her beautiful black stallion awaited her. Sora tacked up and left. Her heart filled with sadness, she galloped through the forest. The saying was true: One never misses something until it is gone. The duo was traveling very fast, but Sora was an excellent rider; it was the only thing she was really good at. Suddenly, Black Beauty, her stallion, tripped over a log and Sora flew forward over the horse's neck. She thought it was the end for her, but it was only the beginning.
Sora a.k.a. Black Beauty: Please review, this is only chapter 1. There is no romance yet, but it will come. Tell me if you want me to add Mimi and Ken into the fic (not as a couple!). There will be Sorato and hints of Takari. If Mimi and Ken are added, then there will also be some Koumi and Kenyako. Now, all you need to do is REVIEW!
