Christmas Hymn

Win dain a lotica
En val tu ri
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
En dragu a sei lain
Vi fa-ru les shutai am
En riga-lint

Win chent a lotica
En val turi
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
Si katigura neuver
Floreria for chesti
Si entina

Lalala…
Fontina Blu Cent
De cravi esca letisimo
Lalala…
De quantian
La finde reve

Win dain a lotica
En vai tu ri
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
En dragu a sei lain
Vi fa-ru les shutai am
En riga-lint

A girl around 16 sat on a stool looking out the wide window. Her looks were fairly beautiful, her long sun-creamed hair were tied in two pig tails, and her eyes were the color of sunset. Sure, this might sound wonderful to you, but in her world, people shun her. They say the color of her eyes were the color of her own mother's blood. Her parents didn't have that color at all. Speaking of parents, she had only one, one who ignored her and possibly even hated her: her father. Her mother mysteriously died of-who-knows-what when the girl was just a baby.

"Can you go on with the story??" asked the girl being slightly annoyed.

Heh... sorry...

Anyway... her name was an odd one too, it was Mint... Princess Mint of the East Heaven Kingdom. She was not exactly named 'Mint', she didn't have a name. The mother died a day after the child was born, without naming her. The king refused to name her, saying it was a monster for taking away his bride. How did she named herself "Mint"? Well... it all happened when--

"My god!! Enough with the details!!! I'm getting a cramp for sitting still for so long!!"

Hush little one, I have to tell everyone the details of the story before I get in the story, if I don't, it'll loose the audience you know.

Mint made a pouting face and turned back to her original position.

Enough said, I guess I'll just skip the part how Mint got the name "Mint".


"Dear sister!!" rang a shrill voice through the door, "We mustn't be late for the meeting!!!"

Mint rolled her eyes and shouted back saying she'll be there. Stupid meetings, Mint thought, like they're going to care aboutme being there anyway.

"MINT!!!!!" Came her younger sister's voice. "Fine, I'll leave without you!!"

Mint's younger sister's name is Maya. Mint shoudn't even dare all Maya "sister" it's more like step sister. See, after Mint's mother died, the King got remarried and had Maya... and after 5 years, the "new" Queen died of a disease. And after that, the King refused to get married.

Mint sighed and ran out of her bedroom door and down the hall. She soon stopped infornt of an enormously large door and opened it and in it, granted her the face with the king and her "dear" sister. Mint went down the room and sat across the family facing them. She tapped her fingers against the polished wooden table impatiently, getting bored already. The king coughed into his fist and smiled down at his daughter.

"uh... hello, Mint. Everything fares well?"

Mint rolled her eyes yet again and answered back. "Yes, everything fares quite well. Cut the chit-chat and whats going on?!" She said (practically shouting) in one breath.

The king frowned and resumed to speak again. "You know next month is going to be Christmas and... well.... I was thinking......"

Mint did not allowed herself to listen any further. "Yeah? Well, I don't give a [expletive] about Christmas."

Maya gasped and began to scold her older sister. "My dear sister, you know every well not to talk back to your father that way!!"

Mint glared at Maya and said, "Well, you don't have to start acting like Gramps."

Maya's face flushed with anger and she was about to say something smart back to her but the king stopped them.

"You BOTH know well not to agrue in any one of our meetings, understood?"

Both girls continued to glare at each other but quieted. "Yes, Father,"

"Next month is Christmas and I grant Mint (Mint's eyes perked up at the sound of her name) permission to grant permission to invite anyone to this years Christmas Ball!!"

Maya gasped, her eyes widened in horror. In the other hand, Mint was smiling like a goofy kid. The king was pleased to make his oldest daughter happy.

"B-but... Father!! You don't know what you're doing!! Mint...she... people she knows are...are...peasents, commoners!! Please, Father, reconsider," Maya pleaded.

"Commoners, shummoners!! It doesn't make a difference to me, heck, maybe they'll even provide me an interest to the outside world,"

Maya bit her lower lip, defeated. But in Mint's case, she didn't mind Maya calling her friends peasents and commoners, she was much to happy and deep in thought.

"Mint...?" Her father questioned.

Mint did something what she never did in her whole life for him. She gave him a wide grins and ran out of the room, half skipping.

"I guess that means she's happy....."

-------------------------------------------------------------------


What to do? What to WRITE?! Mint pondered, as she tapped the pen numerously on the desk. Oh!! Said Mint as an idea hit her like that.



"Dear _______.


I am proud to say that you lucky people (person) are invited to come to a visit in the East Hea--"

Mint abrutly stopped writing and crumbled the page and threw it over her back. She totally sounded like an advertising person she always somewhow bump into when she's sneaking out of the castle.

Once she was satisfied with her work, she made multiple copies with her magic and wrote down the names on each page. Klaus&Family, Belle&Duke, Rod....and.... Somehow, Mint felt like she was forgetting something. Mint pursed her eyebrows in frustration trying to remember.

"I hope you and Rue don't go all mushy around me!!!" The sound of Maya's voice interupted Mint's thoughts.

"Oh, and I'll be sure to tell him what a bitch you are!!"

"Hmph," The sound of Maya's foot steps told Mint that she was gone.

Oh, DUH!!! Rue!! How could she forgot about him? Because you never saw him in 3 years... Mint frowned at her own answer and wrote down "Rue and Claire". She ran out of her room and told one of her servants to deliver these letters to the people.



This is going to be some long winter......
