7 years later…
"Hey Flora you our there?"
Flora was out in the cottage garden when she heard her name being called.
"Out in the garden Stella."
Stella then came through the garden gate. Stella was the princess of Solaria that came soon after Flora. She had long blonde hair and light brown eyes. She was outgoing and sometimes a little too much, but she could always make Flora laugh. She was not here for protection but for punishment. Stella was always getting into mischief.
"Faragonda needs someone to go get more water from the stream. Everyone else is busy so could you do it?" Stella asked.
"Are you busy Stella?" Flora said giving a suspicious glance at Stella.
"Why yes I am. Thank you very much. I am organizing my closet." Stella pouted.
Flora giggled. She knew that Stella was probably lying, but it was alright. She liked going into the forest. So Flora grabbed the bucket and went on her way.
A little while later…
Flora was walking in the forest lost in her own thought.
(Flora's POV)
I have to say I really don't mind living out here. It is a lot better then I thought seven years ago. Faragonda was not nearly as strict as my parents had been. And I actually have friends here. At the palace I never had any friends besides my plants. All the girls had something special about them that made them unique in their own way. Layla, who I'm closest to, is super athletic and loves to dance. Then there is Musa, she may seem tough on the outside but is actually really sweet. And she has such great talent with music. Bloom was the last of the girls to come to the group. She always tries to help everyone out whenever they are in trouble or upset. Then last but not least is Tecna. She is super super smart and always coming up with new inventions. We all live in the cottage in the middle of the forest. Even though we are all so different, we somehow make it work.
(Normal POV)
Flora finally got to the stream and was filling up the water when she noticed some wildflowers. She went over to look at them. She went to sit on the grass. She was enjoying the sun and the sound of the stream. It was so peaceful and Flora just wanted take it all in.
Out in the forest…
Prince Helia was riding through the forest when he realized that he was lost.
"Great, now what am I gonna do?" Helia sighed.
Then Helia heard running water. He decided that was his best bet to find his way out of the forest. So he clicked his heels on the horse and went off to towards the sound of the water. When he finally got to the stream he got off his horse.
"You're a good boy. Time for a nice long break." Helia gave his horse a carrot that he had in his pocket. Then he went into his bag and grabbed a pencil and his sketchpad.
(Helia's POV)
I can't believe how beautiful it is out here. This is so much better then the castle. There I have to constantly be on my best behavior. Here I can just be myself. I was looking around for something to draw when I saw some wildflowers, then I saw her.
