Oh, and y'know what I said about Satty not bein' blue? He has absolutely
nothing to do with this chapter! ;-D Since I have nothing else to say at
the moment I shall give thankies now! *Pulls out a giant bag of thankies*
WackyD: Bwahaha, now I know how much fun it is to be an author: the power of cliffhangers! ;-P See, I'm writing more, and thanks, I like this story too! *Smacks forehead* Wait, this is my story! Doh…
Tak: Now that I think about it, I need to do that stuff too…but I never get to. -.-; I dun think your acting like Garet, you're just writing a to-do list! ^__^ As for the boom, err, I dun wanna know… I won't tell ya'all 'bout the humor story but I start it today just for you! :3 And okay, I'll ask if/when I need help…
XT-Zealot: WAAAAH! Don't bang your head on a table; I dun wanna be responsible for your passing out! O.o Here, use this pillow instead. *Hands him a pillow* If you did pass out, you did wake up to a new chappy! ^^;
Dat's all for now… Yayzers, I got 9 reviews! ^___^ I'm soooooo happy… Oh! Right, back to story writing…
-Ca and her kitty =^o^=
"It's okay Mia, calm down…" Jenna had been trying her best to comfort the distressed princess but to no avail, "Oh come on! I've heard Prince Isaac is quite a handsome fellow and-"
"No! It's not that but… I wish Father had told me sooner, so I could be ready for it!" replied Mia fretfully. She did calm a bit though, and added softly, "It feels like I'm walking in fog- I don't know what's going to happen to me next."
There was a knocking at the door.
"Come in," answered Mia.
The door opened slowly and hesitantly, but soon they could see it was Garet. He smiled and stepped into the room, shutting the door to its previous position. Jenna blushed just a bit, only enough for a friend like Mia could notice; they had been friends for quite a time. Mia was about to say something, but Jenna beat her to it, "Gee, how long did it take you to find this room?"
"Actually, just an hour, which was a lot less time than I had expected," answered Garet, "I've never been this far up a castle before…Oh! And I just popped in to see how you two are."
"Oh! Thanks Garet, we're okay," replied Jenna.
"That's good to hear. Let's see…are you guys packed up yet? King Alex told me to tell you two to pack three week's worth of clothes and anything else you might want to bring, okay?"
Mia was silent. Seeing that he had touched upon a delicate situation, Garet looked down to his feet, feeling a bit uneasy, "Err, I'm sorry you have to leave on such short notice, Mia."
Mia felt a twinge of guilt. Her friends were trying so hard to cheer her up and here she is, being a selfish princess who can only think of her own problems. (A/N: I really don't like that feeling…not at all…)
"Nah, it's okay. Besides, Father says that Venus Court is beautiful this time of year," said Mia with an assuring tone, "Well, Jenna and I have packing to do."
"All right, I can take a hint. You guys are gonna 'girl talk' and I'm not needed," replied Garet, waving his arms, "See you two later!"
The two called after him, "Bye!" as he left the room. Then, Things brightened up much more, and they were soon chatting away as they packed for the fateful trip.
~~~
The countryside here was breathtakingly wonderful!
It was noon and Garet, Jenna, and Mia were riding to the Venus Court. Garet rode out front with his horse, Scorch, while the two girls followed. It was just after lunchtime as well, leaving the horses to an energetic trot. Jenna was conversing quite happily with Garet, but Mia was taking in the scenery.
Mia had never been very far away from Mercury Court, only as far as to the front gate. There, there weren't very many trees, but very many fountains, ponds, and lakes. Here, there were trees galore! Of course, were there weren't the wooden sentries, there were acres and acres of light green grass, each blade standing to see the sun's warm rays. Mia could see great mountains in the distance, like unmovable violet guardians. The skies were clear and shown a cheery cobalt blue while wispy little clouds chased each other upon it. Birds were singing clear as bells, as if serenading the little traveling group. Everything seemed so perfect.
"Hey look you guys! I can see the castle!" exclaimed Garet, breaking Mia from her daydreaming.
"Wow, it looks even bigger than home!" added Jenna excitedly, "Mia, look! Isn't this exciting?"
"Hmm? Well you aren't the one o be married on your birthday," laughed Mia. She did have to admit – the castle of Venus was pretty impressive.
As they proceeded forward, they could see a great mountain of a hill (A/N: That's a really big hill to climb! O.o) rising up before them, the castle perched atop it. The castle itself was a crème colored structure, and appeared to be more of a fortress. (A/N: If you remember back to history class, that's what castles were made to be anywayz.) Even the horses seemed to be in awe, or maybe it was shock at how big a hill they had to climb…
~~~
The afternoon had turned to dusk, and night was threatening to take hold. The five horses of the three travelers (A/N: Two horsies for luggage! ^^) trundled wearily on and were glad of the sight of the lighted castle. They passed through a gate that was entwined in vines, and had officially arrived at the court of Venus.
A tall young man stood with a rather plump woman. They were both richly dressed, their clothing being of velvet and jewels. The tall man had long chocolate brown hair; that much reminded Mia of her father's flowing locks. His eyes were coffee colored, and they twinkled in the light of Garet's lantern.
The woman had strawberry blonde hair, neatly pinned up into a bun. Placed upon her head was a golden crown, littered with diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. Her eyes were warm and friendly, and she had a pleasant expression upon her face. She and the man were seated at a rather large fountain, and appeared to be waiting for someone.
A/N: Who are the mysterious people seated at the fountain? Okay, okay, so it's pretty obvious, but the age-old question still lives: what shall happen next? I'm so glad people really like this fic – the readers are every author's life force! ^___^
