Motives 2

Chapter 36: Millennium Past

(Flashback)

"Katia," Queen Cornelia called out. It was around a thousand years ago. Katia was a young princess. She looked like a 13 -14 year old girl.

"Yes Mother," Katia said.

"We are going to one of our neighboring kingdoms," the queen said.

"May I ask what the special occasion is?"

"We have been invited to the Sun Kingdom for a ball. BUt mostly, there is some things I need to discuss with the King and Queen."

"I see. When is this event?" the young princess asked.

"Tonight, We have received the invitation a week ago and your gown will be ready soon."

"Ok"

"I'll see you tonight so we can go," the queen said and dismissed her daughter.

~Later on that night~

Both Cornelia and Katia went through the entrance doors of the Sun Kingdom's palace. It was grand.

"Welcome, Queen Cornelia," the king said.

"Cornelia," Queen Thelia said, and the two queens hugged eachother. The Queen of the Sun Kingdom looked at Katia, "So this must be your daughter?"

"Yes, her name is Katia."

Cornelia dismissed her daughter to enjoy herself. Katia went around the ballroom where she sees people dancing. She can see her friend, Stella from the Sol Kingdom, dancing with the prince from one of the kingdoms of Proxima Centauri.

After the music stops, Katia became bored and went to a nearby library. She went inside and looked at the books. She picked out a random book off the bookshelf and started to read.

Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned, started. There she sees a man with purple hair and green eyes.

"The party isn't in here." the young man said. He was about 16 or so.

"I'm not really into the celebration. I take it you feel the same." Keiti said smiling at him. "My name is Keiti. I'm from the Solar Kingdom. And you?"

"My name is Shuren, prince of this kingdom. If your board follow me. There's a place I often go to when I'm board." He said offering to escort her.

The two entered into a lush garden. This was Shuren's favorite place in the castle. There were burn marks on some of the walls.

"This is..." the young princess said wondering what the place is. 'Flames, this is his power?' Keiti thought, 'I know I have the power of light and Stella has the power of energy.'

Shuren sent as small ember at one of the walls. The flames followed a carefully placed trail of oil that traveled to several lanterns illuminating the garden.

"I set those lanterns up myself." He said proudly. "When this place is lit up like this you can find all of the animals that sleep around here. There's supposed to be a griffon somewhere in one of the gardens. Want to help me look for it?" Shuren asked her.

"Sure," Katia said with a smile, "I'll help."

Then the two started looking. Katia felt excited to find a griffon. She has never seen one in real life before. All she knows that a griffon has the head of an eagle and the tail of a lion.

She was amazed by the little show Shuren put on. She wondered if he was trying to impress her. It took them a while to search and finally Katia found it. She motioned to Shuren that she had found it.

He was surprised that they had found it. It usually took him a while to find it. The griffon was sleeping peacefully. Shuren looked at Keiti and thought to himself, 'Why cant I shake this weird feeling?' He realized that he was blushing and turned his head away from her.

"uhm." Shuren was about to say something realizing that he was acting strange. Usually he'd wake up the animals with his own version of a light show but he won't up to it. Maybe being around Keiti was the problem.

"Keiti, do you mind telling me something about yourself?" he said trying to get to the bottom of it.

The young princess closes her eyes and placed her fingertips on her heart shaped pendant where her star is located.

"I'm different than all the princesses. People would think I am the Sun Princess becuase I was born on this sun, but I am actually the Yellow Star Princess. To ward off my enemies and heal people, I sing a song," Keiti said.

"I see. I love music." Shuren replied looking at her. "I've never heard of a song that can both heal one's allies and ward off one's enemies. I think I'd like to hear your song one day. I myself go about defeating the unjust. Since we are allies why not join up?"

Shuren smiled and offered to lead the way back to the party.
"Let's head on back. I'm sure the others might have noticed our absence."

Keiti nodded, "I don't want my mother to get worried."

And the two headed back to the ballroom.

'Yeh that's what this feeling is. I wonder... Maybe I shouldn't... Then again I'd never know.' Shuren thought to himself as they walked. "Keiti, you wouldn't mind if sometime later, I mean after the party, we can meet and you and I might get to know one another a bit better?" He asked her once they reached the ballroom. He was unsure of how she'd take that.

"I wouldn't mind at all," Keiti said with a smile. She turned to go see if her mother needed anything.

Keiti did tell her mother that Shuren wanting to let her stay after the party and her mother told her to be careful.

After the party...

Shuren was a bit of an internal crisis.
'Why didn't I ask her out at the party? What was I thinking; she's not going to want to see me again. She probably already has a boyfriend so what am I really trying to do? Then again she did say she'd meet me again. Maybe I'm over thinking this.' He thought to himself pacing back a forward becoming irritated by his shyness.

Keiti walked into the ballroom; Shuren was still there.

"Keiti" He said surprised she had stayed. "H-hi, I wasn't expecting to see you so soon but I'm glad you came." Returning his confidence he asked, "Keiti, I want to know are you interested in anyone?"

"Not as of now," Keiti said, "but..."

Shuren blinked that time there.

"There is a possibility that I might be interested in you," Keiti finished.

"I'm glad" Shuren said now having the weight of his doubts fall off. "I feel the same about you. I wanted to tell you back on the garden but It's just I didn't know how you felt."

Keiti smiled softly. Maybe they are perfect for each other. She got closer to Shuren and hugged him.
