Later that night Alex headed out to sit on her balcony, her long robe
swaying lightly in the wind that pushed it up. Slipping off her hair ribbon
she smiled as her hair ran down her back. Leaning out on the railing of the
balcony she looked up at the stars, a soft smile gracing her lips.
Soron slowly walked out of his bathroom, all night he had made a fool of
himself. Looking out of the window he stopped and just tilted his head to
the side. 'That can't be.' Opening the window he took a few steps out on to
the balcony ledge and moved to the side, "Good evening princess."
Alex looked up and smiled towards Soron, "Good evening yourself. But I
don't believe I'm princess quality or status."
"I do." Soron muttered softly. Leaning against his railing he softly ran
his fingers over the stonework. "Would you..." Soron started to group for
words, not sure of how to ask. "I mean with the festivities..."
"I would be honored to." Alex smiled and closed her eyes appearing
somewhat behind him. "Thank you for asking."
"I didn't even have to really ask. All above ground girls like you?" Soron
smiled softly lifting her hand up to softly kiss it. "I also had heard that
you didn't posses any magic."
"For question number one...only the important ones. And for your last
statement, I'm full of surprises." Alex blushed softly at the kiss and just
smiled at him. Noting how his eyes were of the deepest violet and how badly
his hair mixed with his tanned skin. "Walk me to breakfast in the morn?"
"If I said no I would most certainly be crazy." Letting go over her hand
he was slightly disappointed as she once more went to her balcony.
"Tomorrow morning then. Sleep well Prince."
As Alex disappeared back into her room he could feel his face heat up with
a deep blush. "You too...Princess." Looking down at where his hand touched
hers he could see the sparkle of dust that the Fae usually left after they
did any magic. A slow smile spread across his face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning the two met up outside of her room. The entire day they
seemed inseparable. Neither wanted to be gone long from the other. As the
day slowly came to the end Soron walked Alex out to the middle of the hedge
maze, telling her about some of the old legends and of some of the magical
creatures that live in the underground. As the two entered the center
Alex's face lit up, their attached to an old apple tree was a small wooden
swing that looked just perfect. "Would you give me a push?"
Soron just nodded lightly and led her over to so that she could sit.
Setting his hands on the ropes her pulled back and began to push her
softly. After a few harder pushes he moved to sitting on a bench by the
tree and just watched her swing. "This tree looks like it has been here a
long time."
Alex just nodded, "I don't remember seeing it before tho."As the swing
started to slow she pumped her legs a bit to keep it moving. "Tell me again
about the unicorns."
Soron smiled and leaned against the tree, his feet resting on the bench.
"Well most unicorns although rare have white coats with silver horns. The
foals all have a bright gold coat that slowly falls out leaving either a
white or black coat. Those with the black coats are very special. They are
some of the most powerful and some of the most dangerous, their horns are
stained red from blood as they are known to appear at battles or wars."
Looking over he just watched as she pumped the swing up again, marveling at
how her hair streamed out behind her. "They also come to those who have a
great need and if their hearts are pure."
"Have you ever seen one?" Alex tilted back as the swing went up, her long
hair sweeping behind her a few loose strands resting on the trees bark.
"I have not. Few rarely do."
"Soron!" A lively female voice called out through the hedges which caused
Alex to stop swinging and for Soron to sit up so fast he almost fell off
the bench.
"I'm over here Cerena." Soron sat up again and lightly dusted off his
jacket, Alex just looked over to him watching.
A young lady of perhaps 19 or 20 came through the entrance way and
immediately proceeded to knock Soron over with hugs and kisses. Her deep
waved auburn hair nearly met the ground even with being put back into a
braid. Her face covered with light freckles and her back was adorned with
two perfect wings. "Oh Soron I'm so happy to see you again. How long have
you been here? Have you met the above ground one yet? I've missed you so
much." Her voice seemed to chime with giggles and bubbles, Alex couldn't
say she was happy to see this new person.
Soron just laughed, a full sound that held much emotion behind it. "I've
missed you too Cerena and yes I have met her." Soron turned to introduce
the two ladies but as he looked at the swing it was empty. The seat swaying
lightly in the soft breeze that ran through the garden. "Uh, would you like
to swing?"
Cerena gave him an odd look but then did sit down in the seat. As he
pushed her she started to tell him all about her trip over. Neither one
noticed the pair of mismatched blue eyes that watched them from a high up
balcony, or saw the crystal like tear that fall down ivory skin only to
splash onto the hard cold stone railing.
