Mia strolled through the inner castle, her long cerulean hair flowing behind. Doors flew by in the dim hallways as she hurried to one particular one. Slowly, her gloved hand turned the iron handle, the oak door creaking loudly.
"You wish to see me father?" Mia asked through the open door.
"Yes, please come in," Conservto pleaded softly.
Mia daintily walked in, keeping up her royal image. Her sapphire eyes flickered from her father, sitting on his throne, to the man standing beside him. A look of confusion crossed onto Mia's pale features when she locked gazes with the amber-eyed man.
"This is Prince Piers of Lemuria," Conservto introduced the man. "Piers, this is my daughter Mia."
Piers reached forward with one hand, cupping it under Mia's, and brought it up to his lips, "It is a pleasure to meet one of such beauty."
"Thank you," Mia blushed shyly at the compliment, though she was still baffled.
"Mia," Conservto distracted the two, "it is my sincerest wish for Piers to court and after the proper time, marry you."
"What?" Mia yelled, surprised to say the least.

Isaac stopped brushing the brown horse, which was quickly becoming his favorite. He could swear that he could hear the faint echo of a yell. His thoughts however, turned back to wondering when Garet would return with lunch.
"Stable boy," a man's deep voice floated into Isaac's ears. "Bring me a horse."
Isaac looked to the door of the stable to see a knight with long cerulean hair leaning halfway inside. Swiftly, Isaac strapped a harness and saddle to the brown horse that he had been working on and led it to the entrance.
"Here you are, sir," Isaac handed the man the rains, keeping his head down.
"What's your name boy?" Isaac could feel the man's cyan eyes drilling into him.
"Isaac, sir. My name is Isaac," he answered, still averting his eyes.
"I smell blood on you, boy," the man emphasized boy before jumping onto his horse. "Know that I, Alex of the Imilian Knights, watch your every move."
Isaac stood unmoving as the man rode out, his mind completely lost. Memories ran through his mind, all revolving around his secret past. His mind was so muddled that he did not sense Garet's approach, until his friend yelled in his ear.
"Isaac, I have lunch!"
)
"What do you mean by 'marry'?" Mia asked vehemently. "I thought that you said I was too young to be wed."
"There are," Conservto paused, searching for the right words, "extenuating circumstances."
"But why did you wait until now to tell me?" Mia demanded her face crimson with rage.
"I'm sorry dear," Conservto pleaded. "Things were so busy with the villagers. I didn't have the time."
"You never have time!" Mia yelled in his face, before storming out angrily.
"Mia, wait," Piers tried to stop her, but Conservto's hand held him back.
"Just let her be for now," he pulled Piers back. "Perhaps you would like to rest for a while; you have had a hard day."
"Alright," Piers complied with the pleading, though he still looked down the hallway that Mia had exited. "Are you sure that she will be okay?"
"Sure she will, my boy," Conservto lead the way out the door. "By tomorrow, she will be ready to accept the beginning of your courtship.
@_@
Mia ran to her room, a faint trail of tears trailing down her pale cheek. The fights with her father had become more frequent in the passing months, and this was only part of the escalation. She opened her door quickly, having made a decision before even thinking it.
"I will run away for a while," she reasoned, "and make him worry."
She rushed to her bed, thinking of how to get the clothes she needed. To her surprise there was a small bundle on her bed, with a note in Sheba's writing. "I have a feeling that you will need these," Mia read aloud. "Stay safe until you return."
Mia smiled, glad that Sheba was her friend. She quickly opened the brown package, holding the white robes inside high. "Thank you Sheba."

The bright sky over Imil soon faded to darkness as the day gave way to the night. Lights went off in the houses all around as people retired to their respective residences or in some cases taverns. Two still wandered the streets, though, arguing on where to stay.
"It would be cheaper to stay in the woods," Isaac put forth.
"But the inn is nice and the rent is cheap," Garet countered.
"We don't make enough to stay there every night," Isaac reasoned hopefully.
"I only ask for one night," Garet pleaded. "Please?"
"Oh, all right," Isaac finally broke. "Only one night."
"Let's go to this one," Garet pointed to one particular wooden building, perhaps the oldest.
"The P. P. Inn?" Isaac questioned humorously, staring at the sign shaped like a golden horse.
"I think the letters used to stand for something, but they faded away years ago," Garet pushed the small door open and stepped into the warm building.

A white blur flew past the two Proxian guards at the gate of the Imilian castle, a slight jingle alerting them.
"Saturos, did you hear something?" A woman with platinum blonde hair and magenta skin asked her gray companion.
"No, Menardi. This late shift must be getting to you," the man locked his crimson eyes on the surrounding landscape, waiting for the golden glow of Sol.

Reviewer's Spotlight-
PyroDragon88- I am saying that it has windshipping and aquashipping, but the aquashipping is more of a secondary pairing along with imilshipping. Mudshipping is more of my forte. Thanks for the review.
Dracobolt- Now you have humorous interludes between scenes. Thanks for the review.
The 8BTFreek- Robin & Isaac, two parts of a whole...
Of course, there are three suitors after Mia. Isaac, Piers and Alex. (If you get confused, just ask.)
Thanks for the review.
magical-flyingdragon- Thanks for the review.
