Yami No Hikari
Kura: So, we go the Kingdom of Light in this chapter.
Sakura: Also, earlier, we mentioned Astraia.*
*Astraia- Greek for starry one and the Greek Goddess of Justice. One of the variations of this name is Aster.
Kura: Yup, Astraia is Aster! Enjoy the chapter. Oh, and the first few chapters will be "short." They will get longer eventually.
Chapter 2
"Astraia?"
A girl with long, soft, silver, hair sighed. She was sitting in her room, gazing out the window at her peaceful garden.
"Enter," she whispered, knowing her friend would hear her anyways.
A man opened the door. He had violet eyes and indigo colored hair with a white tuft at the top.
"Astraia," he said, "you've been inside all day. You usually go outside at this hour."
Astraia sighed, "I know, I just have a bad feeling..."
"Again?"
Astraia nodded. It was a well known trait that those in Light Kingdom could sense danger before it arrived.
"Sartorious..."
Sartorious looked at her, "Yes?"
Astraia smiled as she grabbed her silver crown with a single sapphire and slipped it on, "Let's go outside. Maybe I have been inside far too long."
Sartorious smiled and lifted up a basket, "I even brought lunch."
Astraia's smile grew, "You knew I'd cave in."
Sartorious smirked, "It's your garden. I knew you'd want to go there eventually."
Astraia rolled her cerulean eyes and walked towards the door. Her silver dress fell to her ankles, a slit on both sides of it hidden by pale blue silk. Her white gold chain-belt shimmered in the light of the candles.
Sartorious smiled softly as he followed the princess of the Light Kingdom. In a few weeks, she would be crowned Queen.
He, however, frowned as he looked beyond the palace walls. If Astraia could sense something...
'It must be nothing...' he sighed as he picked up his pace and fell into step with Astraia.
The princess opened up the gates leading to the garden and walked over to a sakura tree that was in full bloom.
Sartorious smiled as he saw her climb onto the swing.
Whatever the danger was, whatever the feeling Astraia felt earlier, it could wait. Besides, when it comes, should it come, he'd be ready.
At least...
he hoped.
Kura: Review!
