23 of the Sun Month
Sigh… it's been about a month since Dar'Khan left and I am so bored and lonely… but at least I can catch up on lessons. Ah, who am I kidding? Lessons are really… boring… wait a minute… oh no!
Luniiaa was writing in the kingdom gardens when she was suppose to be getting to her lessons. But, since she doesn't find them amusing at all, she was late yet again.
"Tsk, Luniiaa! I thought for once that you finally get here on time. But, you don't!" Pamalia was a tall, slender, dark skinned and haired young human about Staphanian's age. She was also Lady Tianria's midwife for when Luniia was born. Pamalia was also very serious about learning as well.
Luniiaa started to get nervous. "Yes, I am late… again. But it isn't like you are perfect either!"
Pamalia chuckled. "Well, I wasn't always perfect, but where I use to live, we weren't allowed to learn. Only the men."
Luniiaa was shocked. Girls couldn't learn? Well, that's unfair! "Not even reading or writing?"
Pamalia shook her head. "All we learned was household chores. That's why I ran away. There was another reason that I can't remember... Oh well. Let's get to lessons."
Today's first lesson was calligraphy. But, since Luniiaa writes like that every day, they did math. Now this was hard for Luniiaa. On the tenth question she got wrong, she slammed her head into her textbook. "Ouch! That hurt!"
"Then be nice to your books!" Pamalia lectured sarcastically. Then the two ladies started laughing.
"This is what I get for not studying," Luniiaa chuckled, "I hate karma."
All of a sudden, Luniiaa's brother, Staphanian, came in.
"Hey, Pamalia? Luniiaa needs to finish in about twenty minutes, ok?" But, Luniiaa noticed that he started to feel uneasy.
Hm… Is he okay? Then, Luniiaa made a huge discovery. Oh my goodness! Stap likes Pamalia!
"Will do, Stap. Actually, we're almost done. Luniiaa will be out in a little bit." Then Staphanian left the two ladies to clean the room.
"Pamalia? I know this isn't the right time, but… do like my brother?" Luniiaa was dying to know, now that she knew Staphanian liked Pamalia.
"Actually, I do. He's sweet, funny, charming. You are lucky to have him as your brother. My brother was a complete idiot."
Luniiaa always knew that Staphanian was a great brother, but if Pamalia like him, why is she cooped up in here? "Pamalia, don't tell Staphanian I said this, but he likes you."
Pamalia's eyes widened. "Are you sure? Really?"
"Positive."
"Luniiaa, how do you know?"
"I can tell by the way he's uneasy around you and by the way he stares. Couldn't you tell?"
Pamalia was speechless. Why would Staphanian like her? She wasn't rich or fancy or even in any high level status! But, she liked Staphanian because he was funny and sweet…
"Thank you for telling me, Luniiaa. You have given me tons of confidence. That's something I can't teach you. Kindness."
Luniiaa was surprised. I gave Pamalia confidence? "You're… you're welcome, Pamalia." Luniiaa managed.
Pamalia nodded, which meant the end of the lessons. Pamalia ran off to find Staphanian. Luniiaa would then usually go to the gardens to write or run around with Dar'Khan, but he wasn't here and she didn't feel like writing. So she went to the archery arena.
Whenever she wanted to relax, she did archery. In fact, this is what she always wanted to do. When she turns 16, she would become a ranger, no matter the cost.
As she ran to the storage house to get her bow and a set of arrows, she heard a loud humongous boom. Luniiaa turned around to see that her friend Hakeber was using his gun. She smiled. "Shame on you, Hakeber! We archers use bows and arrows, not guns!"
Hakeber smiled sheepishly. "That's what I use Luniiaa. Remember last week when you tried to teach me how to use them?"
Luniia chuckled and shook her head. Last week, Luniiaa had tried to teach Hakeber how to use a bow and arrow. Instead of getting better, Hakeber and Luniiaa almost shot Staphanian and his friend Siama. "That was hilarious." Luniiaa muttered to herself.
Then, Luniiaa ran to the storage house to get her bow. The bow was made out of strong wood and was smooth. It had designs of Luniia's favorite design on it. They were the sun, the stars and the moon. In fact, Luniiaa's name meant "Moon Goddess". Luniiaa also grabbed a dozen arrows. As she ran to her target, she stuck the arrow to the string. She aimed, pulled the string and let go. After hitting all twelve arrows pretty much by the bull's eye, she waved to Hakeber. "See you later, Hakeber!"
Hakeber waved back. "Bye Luniiaa! See you tomorrow!"
24 of the Moon Month
It's getting lonely around here. Dar'Khan is gone and Hakeber is training very hard, so I do not disturb him. Even Staphanian and Pamalia are busy (probably kissing and stuff… those two are absolutely lovesick)… maybe Sierren and Akire are still here! They are probably doing nothing right know. Or the two are at the ranger training grounds. The only reason the warriors and knights train there is because the battle arenas burned in a lightning fire.
Sorry! I went off subject, but I wish-
"Hey Luniiaa!" Luniiaa looked around to see who called her name. All of a sudden, her friend Sierren came out of nowhere and tackled her. The two started wrestling and didn't see the hill. Then they started to roll down it and landed in a fountain, knocking Sierren's sister Akire, into it as well.
"Ah, I'm wet!" Luniiaa yelled. (Luniiaa doesn't like to get wet that much.)
"So am I!" Sierren pointed out.
"I was reading, and all of a sudden, I get knocked into a fountain by a bunch of kids!" Akire laughed.
"Well, you girls aren't ladylike!" Luniiaa replied to the arguing twins. All three looked at each other, confused of what Luniiaa said. Then they started laughing.
"Ha! Luniiaa, you aren't ladylike! You just hate water!" Sierren was still laughing a lot.
"True, very true." Luniiaa admitted.
"So, how are lessons going for you?" Akire asked.
"Good."
"And Staphanian?"
"Weird and lovesick, like always nowadays."
"Wow! What else do you say about me?" a voice cried behind them.
"Oh no." the trio looked behind them to see that Staphanian was standing right there behind them. He was spying on us! Why doesn't he go hang out with Siama. Though, the spying part was most likely Siama's idea. Argh! Why don't those two leave us alone! In fact, I hear Siama laughing right now! Ergh!
But, Akire started to get nervous like any other time she got in trouble. "Well… uh…"
Staphanian started laughing. "Ha-ha! You thought you all were gonna get in trouble!"
The four teenagers, however, were interrupted by a priest.
"Hey! You kids! Out of the Holy Fountain!"
"Oh no." Staphanian said. Then, he dropped his voice to a whisper, "On three we run. Got it?" The other three nodded.
"One…"
"TWO…"
"THREE!"
The four elves ran before the priest could run and get them.
Then, Luniiaa realized something.
"My journal!"
Luniiaa was in her room drying herself from the fountain incident when she heard a thump on her bed. She turned to see that her journal was lying, all dried off, on her bed.
"But how…" Luniiaa was amazed. How was her journal here all of a sudden? Then, she saw something on the cover.
Magic dust. Soft, purple magic dust.
Luniiaa's mind went to one name.
Dar'Khan…
Luniia then finished her journal entry for that day.
I wish I could have one time where all my friends were together.
