In a small farming village several hundreds of miles from the Linpeha capital lived a girl with the most amazing jade eyes, waist length brown hair and curves that were only relieved by does of a goddess. Her hair was caught up in a high ponytail and had on a pink mini dress.
"I guess this is it." Flora said softly as she closed her pink suitcase and walked over to the cracked mirror barely hanging in her small hut.
"Flora, Flora, come here we need to talk to before you leave." A female's voice called from outside.
"Yes Elders what is it?" She asked, exiting the house with her suitcase to see three elder males standing in front of the house. They were of dark complexion and had on bright colour robes.
"Have a seat." the first elder said as he pointed towards the log nearby.
Doing as told, the brunette took a seat and looked at the three old male nearby.
"Now Flora, when you go to the city you will see the city girls dipping their mouth in blood and call it lipstick, don't do it." The first elder instructed. He had on an orange coloured robe with a wooden chin around his neck. His hair was thin and grey all over.
"And they grow their nails long like tiger's claws, if you do that you will disgrace the town's honour." The second elder said as they continued down the line. He had on a green robe and had a thick head of hair which was also grey.
"The city girls also plow their face with powder and when they sweat it off they look like guinea flows, do not do it." The third and last elder said. He had on a purple robe and bald.
"Yes elders, I will make you proud." Flora said. She then turned to her mother. Her mother had long black hair with bright green eyes and dark complexion. She had on a purple knee length dress. "Mother, I will miss you must of all." Flora said sadly.
"I will miss you too. Now Flora you have heard the elders be yourself and make us proud." Her mother said sadly as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Your father would have been proud of you also, if he was still alive." The third elders said.
"We will take good care of Tea like she was our own daughter." Her uncle appeared from hut. He was short in height and fair in complexion. He had on a white pants and a yellow and white shirt.
Taking up her suitcase, Flora said. "Uncle Saladin, thank you so much for giving me a change for a better life."
"You're welcome, my dear child." He replied. "Good bye everyone."
"Bye everyone. Promise to visit." Flora tried to fight back the tears. She would greatly miss her family.
The two began walking to the ship that would carry them to the city.
"There she goes, to the city of a better life." Her mother said, watching her daughter walk away.
"Yes and may she be protect her on her journey." The second elder said as he and the other elders walk back to their huts.
"Prepare for a long journey, my child." Salidan told Flora. "It takes a half an hour just to reach the ship then it will take three days just to reach the city."
"The walking part I am use to. I have to walk for nearly an hour just to collect water then a hour plus to come back since the jug becomes heavier." Flora informed him.
"And you have to do that every day?" He asked.
"Yes, I do. Mother cannot make it up the hill much less carry a heavy jug of water." She answered. "And since I will not be there anymore she will have to get one of males to get it for her."
3 Days Later
"Here we are, Flora your new home." Saladin said happily as they walk towards the house to meet a man with brown hair, tan skin and wearing a full guard black outfit.
The house was two storey and painted light blue and white.
"Good afternoon Sir and how was your trip?" The guard asked politely.
"It was fine." He replied. "Now Nabu, this is my niece Flora."
"Hello." Flora said as she reached to meet Nabu's hand to shake it.
"Hello Flora, nice to meet you." He shake her hand before parting and openthe gate for them to enter.
"Tea, this is my wife, Faragonda." Her uncle said as they enter the living room.
"Have a seat." Faragonda said as she and her husband seat down. "Now Flora while you are staying here with us you will be cleaning and doing various chores for your uncle and myself, in exchange for living here with us and we will also teach you how to speak proper English."
"My dear." Saladin stepped in. "From the time spent with her I can tell you her English is perfect. Maybe you can teach her another language like French or Spanish since you are so fluent in both of them."
"Alright, if you say so." She replied. "Let me show you to your room and once you have unpacked and fully rested we can go into the city and pay some clothes."
"Yes, Aunt." Flora got up.
The elder female rose from sofa and led the happy Flora to her room.
In a palace at the centre of Linepha lived a male with long midnight blue hair and deep blue eyes. His name, Prince Helia, the only child and heir to the throne.
A knock was heard coming from his bedroom door.
"Prince Helia, may I enter?" The person asked.
"Yes, come in." He said.
The door opened to reveal a male with short purple hair and fair complexion. He had on purple jeans with a blue coloured shirt and a white sleeveless jacket.
"My Prince, your parents will be ready shortly to head to the airport." Riven informed him.
"Thank you, I will be ready shortly." Helia answered. "Give me a few moments to get ready."
"As you wish your highness." Riven escorted himself out of the room.
His parents were going to Domino to discuss something with the King and Queen. They didn't disclose with him what it was but they confirmed that it wasn't to look a bride for him like the last time.
Having nothing planned for the morning, the king and queen were determined in him coming along just to see them off.
Going into his walk in closet to take out blue jeans with a baby blue and white shirt plus a dark blue and white sneaker.
"I have a feeling that my future bride is near." He whispered having a strange but wonderful feeling in his heart.
