Dear Nana,
I hope you know that I would
like to see you for some things. They're very simple.
And I believe we should get something strait. Here it is.
Hello, Nana.
With Love,
Myrrha (and for you, Husky)
Nana folded the sheet back into the envelope. She had read the letter over and over again. It was so short, but for some reason, it felt so long. And he even put his fake name on it.
"My lady, we have came to a highway stop. Please relax while you can." The Sailand man said. Nana got out of the cart to stretch. She has been traveling with the man for a week now. She had been wondering how long and how much farther. It seemed to take forever. But….Oh well….
"Here, My lady, eat" The man said as he handed her bread and water. Nana happily took it. "Thank you, Sir. Make I ask your name?"
The man smiled. "It's Shilo"
"Okay, Shilo! Thank you. Anyway…Why does Hus-I mean-the King want to see me? Is it something very important?"
Shilo frowned a little. " Well…I don't know…He said it was extremely important that he told no one. So it's something for you and he to discus. "
Okay, Husky, What is it?
"We must get going, so try to finish fast."
Nana couldn't sleep that night. She was cooped up in the cart thinking what did Husky wanted. Surly he would tell people that he wanted a friend over, so that probably couldn't be it.
"My Lady, we have arrived to the royal capital, Stella. My Lady, wake up."Nana faintly heard Shilo's voice. She got up and rubbed her eyes," Huh?"
"We've made it. Hurry. I'll help you with you luggage.
Nana looked around when she got off. It's been a long time since I've been here.
And yet, It still looks the same. She and Shilo began to carry Nana's bags and made their way to the palace. When they got there, Nana saw servants there waiting for her. Some took the bags from Shilo and her, while others took her hand and led her away quickly
Wait, WHAT?
"Thank you, Shilo!" she yelled out loud. All Shilo did was wave at her. Suddenly, Nana was taken to a beautiful room. "You shall stay here until His Excellency calls you. Your meal shall be here momentarily. Please feel free to change clothes, They are in the drawer and closet. Ring the bell if you need anything." The maid closed the door behind her. The first thing Nana did was flop on her bed.
"It feels weird to be back in Sailand…" She sank deeper into the mattress "But comfortable…" She got up when she heard the door knock on the do. "May I come in?" a high innocent voice said. "Uh…Come in!" Nana told the voice. The door revealed an young girl, about twelve, with Nana's food. She walked in and put the tray on the table and uncovered the tray. "Here's your meal. Please enjoy!"
Nana couldn't be more thankful for all she was receiving "Thank you." She told the girl. "Your welcome!" And with that, she skipped away. Nana went over to the table. She noticed that all her favorites where on the plate; vegetable soup, white rice, and fresh baked bread.
What's this? Nana noticed a small piece of paper on the side of the tray. Then she opened it :
Nana,
I told the cook to make your favorites.
Yet, I still hope you like them.
If I happen to mistake them because you changed,
Forgive me.
Husky
Nana read the note again. It made her a bit warm inside. He still remembers.
She sat down to eat her meal. It was so delicious. So warm. So…she couldn't explain it. Nana just loved it. Especially the bread's taste. After she had her fill, Nana decided to go into the castle just to have a look at things. But then she hesitated, for the maiden told her to stay here until further notice.
The door opened with the same girl that had brought her food. "Are you all finished? May I take your food?" She said sweetly. Nana liked that. "Yes I'm finished. Thank you. Don't you seem a bit to young to be a maiden?" The girl looked up.
"Well, I suppose I am…"
"May I ask why you work here? If I'm interfering with anything then I'm sor-"
"Oh that's fine…It's just that I was taken here to work because I had a master that owned me and wasn't suppose to because I wasn't a Kim-un-kur nor a +anima. And also he used to beat me very badly, along that he kidnapped me just to have slave."
Nana felt very sorry to hear that. Being kidnapped just to be slave. That was so…very… ridiculous! "I'm very sorry to hear that. That was horrible!" The young girl smiled cutely. "Don't be! I'm very blessed right now! Now I make the same living as an adult. But thank you for understanding me!
The girl took Nana's tray and skipped to the door. "May I ask your name?" Nana asked. The girl stopped skipping and turned around slowly. "My name is Oak. Well, see ya!" Oak turned and started skipping away again. Nana felt right at home, even though she had just met two friends; Shilo, a helping thirty-five year old, and Oak, a glad-all-the-time twelve year old. One may be older while the other was younger, but they were her friends at the moment.
And then, without thinking, Nana stepped out of the room.
"Your Majesty, the quadruplets from Scarborough Fair have arrived," a servant said as he entered a dark room with a small window. A man stood beside the window, thinking of what the servant just said. Believe it or not, this man was the king. And the king was Husky. Husky had changed quite a bit through all these years. He was more quiet, his temper had dropped a lot, and for all you CooroxHusky fans I'm sorry but Husky is more masculine now. Husky slightly turned his head, "Fine…Send them in" The servant left the room and came back with four women the same age as Husky and Nana.
These women had light blonde hair, porcelain faces, skinny bodies, and they all wore the same dress (to see design, see vol. eight and the dress is the one that Husky's Mother is wearing)
One woman had blue eyes and a blue dress.
One had green eyes and a green dress
One had red eyes with a matching dress
One had the color violet on her features
"It's been a while, Myrrha." said the blue one. Husky turned around completely. "Yes…I know…" he said.
"Tell us, what did you need us for?" the green one asked.
"Of course, we were on our way back to Scarborough Fair," the red on scolded
"What do you want us to do?" replied the violet one.
Husky hanged his head down. "That's perfect. Your going back to Scarborough Fair. I need you to take a young maiden along. The one that I meant to see for quite some time now." The red girl looked satisfied. "You mean the 'Rosen Maiden' you told us about?" Husky looked up. "Yes…That one…She always looked beautiful with roses"
"I see…Why do you want her to go to Scarborough Fair?!" The green girl spatted at him "You know that is a place representing death. Death, Myrrha."
Husky smiled "I have some tasks for her…And I need you to tell her."
At the sound of this, the violet maiden took out a small, hard covered book and quill. "Tell us…" said the blue women.
"First," Husky began, "I want her to make me a cambric shirt."
"Ohh…now that's hard…and you want her to do that at Scarborough Fair," the red maiden said sarcastically. Husky held his hand to silence her.
"Let me finish…" Husky pleaded. "I want her to go on the hill side in the deep forest and make it without seam nor needlework. And to trace a sparrow on it…but on the snow…cold snow. Then have her travel to the near by mountain and give blankets and bedclothes to the child there…that will be task one…"
"Very well, Myrrha…but don't you think these are…oh…I don't know…Impossible?" the red one complained
"What do you have up your sleeves, Myrrha?" The green girl looked serious, "do you want to follow your mother's path? How she used to play games with people?"
Husky smiled, "Oh…this is no game…and you'll see my point at the end of this."
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley,
Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She
once was a true love of mine
Okay…I
think some of you think Husky's being mean or something…
