I was inspired to do this after witnessing Kelsey's daydream of Ren in Tiger's Voyage. I don't own the Tiger's Curse series. Read, Comment, Review!
Ch 1: A Princess's journey
In the 1700s, a time of adventure, exploring, and pirates, there grew a beautiful kingdom named Salimana. Inhabiting a large forest and mountainous terrain, the people of this nation were hardworking, kind, and famously stubborn. The monarchs of this nation, King Michael and Queen Sarah, had a daughter named Princess Kelsey. She was considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, with her long, golden brown locks, deep doe brown eyes, and fair skin. It was perhaps her modesty that made her that much more beautiful. Beauty, however, comes at a price. A wicked king far to the south, King Lokesh, had seen the princess and lusted for her. He used Salimana's weak army and constant threat of war to his advantage. By promising Salimana protection through his armies, Lokesh gained an engagement to the princess. A month before the wedding, the princess was to be sent to her fiancé over sea.
"Oh I will miss you, Kelsey!" Her mother cried as her daughter was loading the carriage.
"Mother, I just wish I didn't have to marry this man. He is said to be cruel and abusive!"
"I wish I could spare you this horrible ordeal my dear one, but your father arranged this to protect our kingdom!"
"Well, it's worth it if it protects our people,"
"My daughter, you are truly a princess worthy of her crown,"
Kelsey jumped into her carriage and bid farewell to her family and headed for the dock, unaware that her destined love would be waiting out on the open sea.
Once the royal carriage arrived at the dock, the princess was introduced to the captain.
"Captain Wilson at your service, malady!"
"Pleasure to meet you captain,"
"Please come aboard the Oceanic Dragon!"
The captain led the princess aboard the mighty vessel. The mahogany planks and royal blue paint gave the ship a powerful appearance. The lookout came down to greet the princess.
"Your highness! What an honor it is to meet you! The name's Private Jason"
"Nice to meet you private,"
"My, the rumors of your beauty are quite true. You are as mesmerizing as the stars," The princess blushed.
"Thank you private, that was kind,"
"Private!" The captain called. "Hoist the main sail! We leave port now!"
"Aye Captain! I must leave now your Highness, I hope you enjoy your journey. Maybe if your lucky, we'll blast some pirates on the way!"
As the private disappeared, she saw the emblem of her kingdom, an indigo dragon, rise into the air. As the ship's sails filled with wind, they set out to sea, and the princess sailed ever closer to her unknown love.
A few days out to sea, Kelsey began keeping a journal of her experiences. So far, she had seen the lookout point, raised a sail, steered the ship, and walked on the mast. She had never felt so alive. If she wasn't a princess or betrothed she would have considered becoming a sailor. For now, she enjoyed sunning herself on the main deck. The captain soon appeared.
"Good afternoon princess!"
"Afternoon captain. Something troubling you?"
"Milady, for your own safety, I suggest get below deck. We've entered the Sonic pathway,"
Kelsey shivered. The Sonic pathway was a hot spot for pirates and being a princess, Kelsey was a large target.
"So, you're getting married?"
"Apparently,"
"I heard stories of this king of yours. Not a decent one he is,"
"I know," The princess grew even more melancholy. The captain gave a helpful look.
"Ya know, it's said the sea will never allow someone to sail to those they don't love. Maybe she'll save you from this,"
"Perhaps," She felt slightly better. Suddenly, cannons filled the air. The princess scrambled to her feet.
"Captain! What's going on!?"
"Private! What on earth is going on!?" The private called back
"All hands on deck! PIRATES!"
