" we're gonna have a sleep over!" cried Emeruade to her friends. " you can
all come and sleep over at the palace!"
"Uh..Emeruade.. WE do that anyway." Said Presea blinking.
" so? "
" well now you can come and sleep over still!"
Presea just rolled her eyes. Such an immature princess.
"Well come over tonight cause I said so " Said Emeruade as the all left their lessons.
" bye Emeruade. See you after dinner!" Cried Zagato.
" hmph.."said Lantis at his older brothers giddy reaction for the princess?s sleep over. The two brothers walked home in the wonderful weather. The sun just setting as they reached home. Their mother was sitting at the table composing a song using Magic to create the music.
" I can taste the fruit of Eve. I'm aware of sickness death and disease. The results of her choices were vast. Eve was the first but she wasn't the last. If I were honest with myself, had I been standing at that tree, my mouth and my hands would be covered with fruit. Things I shouldn't know and things I shouldn't see. . "
The beautiful voice of the bard mage filled the house. But stopped as her children opened the door.
" well well you two are late! " Said their mother coming over to give them a hug. "did you get lost?"
" no mama we were playing. And Emeruade said we can sleep over tonight!" said Zagato happily.
" I'm hungry" said Lantis as he hugged his mother.
" well why not go get some things ready for your sleep over and I'll make dinner? "
"yay!" cried Zagato as he ran up stairs to his things. Lantis Lingered a bit and slowly followed his older brother. He could hear his mother going back to her song as she walked to the kitchen.
"Remind me of this with every decision. Generations will reap what I sow. I can pass on a curse or a blessing to those I will never know. ."
If only she knew what Curse she had bestowed upon the world when she married the head of the guards at the palace. If only she knew....
Her Voice lingered in the sound of the house as she sang.

Remind me of this with every decision. Generations will reap what I sow. I can pass on a curse or a blessing to those I will never know. . She taught us to fear the serpent. I'm learning to fear myself and all of the things I am capable of in my search for acceptance, wisdom and wealth. To say the devil made me do it is a cop-out and a lie. The devil can't make me do anything. To my great-great-great- granddaughter, live in peace. To my great-great-great-grandson, live in peace. To my great-great-great granddaughter, live in peace. To my great- great-great-grandson, live in peace, live in peace. . Eve was the first but she wasn't the last."
Now Later at the castle the sounds of the teenagers filled the hallways of giggles and laughter. " LETS play hide and seek!" Cried Emeruade " yay!" came the cries of everyone. Cept for lantis. He was now quiet . something had happened when he was younger that made him this quiet. " zagato you gotta seek first!" cried Emmy.
" fine ~.~;" came the blunt responce from Zagato.
" 1.......2...............3.............." Zagato started to count as he covered his eyes. Everyone ran every which way from the rooms. Lantis and Emeruade went diffrent ways. Down one hall Lantis ran . His feet hitting the ground making a soft sound. His cloak flying behind him. He turned his head and saw something white bounce down the hall. "mokona?" he said curiously as he ran down the hall after Mokona.
Down another hall Emeruade saw the same thing bouncing down the hall.
" mokona where are you going?" cried the princess as she ran down the halls. She chased Mokona down the halls untill both Emeruade and Lantis ran into eachother.
" i'm sorry princess! " he said as he held her steady so she wouldn't fall.
" thats alright..... we're at the garden why not hide in there!"
" As you wish princess.." They both walked into the gardens. The smells of flowers and fresh grass greeted them. The vibrant colors of greens and browns pleased their eyes. The sounds of birds chirping and water running from the fountians filled their ears. They were alone. Mokona had disappeared. It was late so no one was up. They both sat on the waterfountian. Lantis glanced upwards and Emeruade smiled as she stared at the fish in the waterfountain.
"emmy theres something I need to tell you something............." Lantis finally said something to break the eerie silence between them.
" yes what is it?"
" I love you Emeruade... i've loved you ever since that day i saw you kiss my brother for the first time.... When you were 6 and i was 4. I knew then that i loved you. ..... It broke my heart...."
Before she could say anything his lips met hers in a soft but gentle kiss..... " but i know I can't have you. " Lantis continued after the kiss. " i shall stop loving you because Zagato has your heart......"
With that Lantis got up and walked away leaving the princess in shock.
"Uh..Emeruade.. WE do that anyway." Said Presea blinking.
" so? "
" well now you can come and sleep over still!"
Presea just rolled her eyes. Such an immature princess.
