POV Islanzadi
One day, Islanzadí, who was twenty years old, (elf children start to become adults at around thirty)was sitting with her mother, Niduen, knitting some socks. She had friends but she preferred a boy around her age called Evander. He was taller than her but not much. Today, was a normal day for her so she got bored really easily. When her mother went away to prepare lunch. She climbed out the window with her little hands and ran to Evander's bedroom.
Islanzadí was a princess and Evander was a prince. But the real difference between them was that Evander's grandmother, Queen Tarmunora, was on the throne. Dellanir, Evander's mother, was enemy of Niduen so Evander and Islanzadí didn't see each other very often. Evander had an older brother called Oromis and Oromis loved his little brother and also liked Islanzadí.
As Islanzadí was heading towards his bedroom, she noticed that Dellanir was waiting for her. A sense of dread filled her body.
POV Evander
Evander was sitting at his desk in his bedroom reading stories of dragons and the riders. The sun was bright and the light shone through his window. Suddenly, he heard the angry voice of her mother, Dellanir saying,"I've been waiting for you, you little rascal. Thinking you could come here and distract Evander from his learning?"
When Islanzadí didn't respond, Dellanir's face became angrier than it already was. "Answer me, now!"
Islanzadí's eyes were filled with fear and tears were forming. But she stood her ground. "I didn't come here to course trouble. I came here to talk with Evander because I feel he needs a break from the stupid things you have been teaching him."
Dellanir slapped her across the face with full force which made the tears fall down the little princess's face from where she was lying, clutching her right cheek with her hand.
Meanwhile, Evander had watched the scene from a window which had been framed in the door and as he saw his best friend crying, anger boiled inside him. How could she do such a thing to my best friend. She has no right to. Without thinking, stormed out the room and stood in front of his mother with an angry expression. "Mother what are you doing? She's my best friend and you have no right to hurt her!"
"Go back to your room Evander or go and play with your brother, Oromis. This is none of your business! And you shall have no business to do with her!" Dellanir screamed, rage filling her.
"No mother I'm going to play with my friend, Islanzadí Dröttningu. Now if you will excuse us," Evander said. He helped Islanzadí up and together they walked away smirking leaving Dellanir shocked.
