Ce'Rawn gazed down at the city of Riva. The sun shone down upon her young
face through the window, making her straight rich red hair glow, and her pure green eyes
reflected the sun, and the tiara sitting upon her head glittered with diamonds. She saw
Geran, her older brother, galloping into the castle grounds upon his snowy- white stallion,
and sighed. She turned around to gaze at the portrait of her parents, King Belgarion and
Queen Ce'Nedra. Everyone informed her she looked like her mother, had the same
temper, same height, and her father's ability as a sorcerer, unlike her siblings, Geran,
Beldaran, Ce'Dara and her younger sister, Xiana.
Geran was around twenty-three years of age, beautiful Beldaran was twenty,
Ce'Dara was nineteen, Ce'Rawn was seventeen and Xiana was fifteen. Ever since their
parents had left to the Vale, three months ago, Geran's wife, Zamia, cared for Ce'Rawn,
Xiana and Ce'Dara along with her own twin daughter's, Harana and Thasana. Beldaran,
married to the Cherek prince, Kithanan, had an infant son, Adomarin. Ce'Dara, who was
engaged to a prince of Toledra, named Yamith, complained constantly about how much
she didn't like Toledra, but their father ordered her to "stick with it". Ce'Rawn was going
to get engaged to the prince of Ulgoland, named Bennor.
She had refused- why did she want to be the Queen of an underground kingdom?
But her father had refused her complains, and informed her that the Ulgo people were
beginning to build a city on the surface. When King Belgarion returned, she would be
engaged.
Looking back out the window, Ce'Rawn placed her hand against the window, and closed
her eyes. She grasped her Will and whispered, "Melt." Quickly, she opened her eyes,
pulling her hand away as the glass began to melt in front of her every eyes.
"Rawn!" Xiana cried in horror.
Ce'Rawn chuckled. "Don't worry!"
"What?" Xiana shrieked, "Father's going to kill you!"
"I wish." Ce'Rawn whispered.
Xiana shook her head, making her curly auburn hair bounce around her little slender face
as her blue eyes glared. Ce'Rawn raised a hand to shut her sister up, and ordered, "Go to
your room."
"No!" Xiana said simply.
Slowly, and deliberately, Xiana left the room.
When she was gone, Ce'Rawn looked out the window, and nearly choked on her own
tongue. In front of her, there stood a ravishing young man. He stood on the melted glass,
a silky blue cloak whipping around him in the wind. "Wha-? HOW?? Who are you?"
The man smiled at her, "You do not need to know." He simply replied.
She stepped away from him, her emerald gown tangling in her legs.
Someone knocked at the door of the room she was in; the man jumped off the window,
and ran towards her. Before she could scream, he had covered her mouth, and was
holding the back of her head, to tightly clamp her mouth shut. Ce'Rawn struggled, but he
overpowered her. He closed his eyes and spoke in a enchanting language. "Kynur thi
niy. El binora kithasha binna jabeel!" In response to those words, she collapsed.
The man spun on his heels, and ran towards the window, the princess in his arms. Right
then Ce'Dara entered the room, her rich, curly red hair pulled away from her face as
she gazed into the room, her blue eyes bright as the sky. "Rawn?" She called to her sister.
No response.
"Xiana! You said Rawn was in here. Where is she?" Ce'Dara called over her shoulder.
Xiana, who was walking by, shrugged, "I don't know. she was in there a moment ago."
Then walked off.
Ce'Dara strode into the room and nearly shrieked when a small snake scurried past her,
and out the room. "Gross!" She cried, "What is a SNAKE doing here?"
She saw the melted window then, "RAWN!" she called in annoyance, "if you keep doing
this, father will kill you!"
She then left the room, not finding her sister.
