Chapter 4 Luand'r leaves

She thought that if she managed to fly, everything would be all right.

If she became a skilled leader, a strong fighter, a better heir, they would all accept her.

She thought if she never gave up, if she tried so hard to become what they all wanted her to be, she could stand a chance.

She thought wrong.

And eventually, she gave up. Just like how they all gave up on her.

And she stopped trying to please people.

Her best was just futile, because Koriand'r was born.

"Komand'r?" her mother called out down the golden halls of the palace.

"Yes, Queen Luand'r?" the child spoke in an irritated tone. She brushed her hair back as she went towards the calls. She learned to like it, now that she wasn't trying to please everybody. Other Tamaranians passing by looked at it in dismay because it was black, not beautifully red like her mother and father's, but as black as the distant, unknown of the rest of the galaxy. The distant always brought fear of attack.

"Komand'r, darling, might you be available to watch your little sister?" Luand'r said.

The dark haired Tamaranian looked over at a large man down the hall playing with a tiny child. His name was Galfore, her sister's k'norfka. She was never assigned one, but Komand'r didn't care.

"Where will you be going?" she asked turning back to Luand'r.

"Oh," said Luand'r as if just noticing that Komand'r was there. She just smiled to the girl, a smile for newborns, Komand'r thought in disgust. "Oh, no where of importance…"

"Queen Luand'r," Komand'r stated in a very irritated tone. "If I am to rule this planet, I think that it is important that I must be a part of such foreign affairs."

The queen just smiled and put her hand on Komand'r's head, unfazed at the small child's big words. Komand'r wasn't transparent like the other Tamaranians, she saw right through Luand'r. Her inner thoughts were, 'she is so adorable when she thinks she will be queen some day…"

In response, Komand'r just knocked the queen's hand off her head. A rash action that could have led to treason, but Luand'r always let her get away with things.

"Good day, your majesty," Komand'r spat as she walked off not caring to witness the queen's reaction.

"You know," called Queen Luand'r's voice behind Komand'r. "You really should call me mother…"

Komand'r heard, but she just kept on walking.

"Never been into 'labels,'" she muttered to herself as she trudged to the nursery.
