Chapter One
Jamie was in the library reading a book when her sister walked in followed by her two best friends; Jamie sighed and shut her book then got up and walked out.
Can I just have one hour alone with out her? Jamie asked herself. Now what to do?
Jamie wasn't watching where she was going while thinking of what she could do and ran smack into someone. Stumbling backward, Jamie was caught by a strong arm.
"Steady on there, Lady Jamie." A young man's voice said.
Jamie looker up and wished she hadn't. Standing above her was none other than the youngest prince, Liam.
"Your highness" Jamie murmured but was unable to curtsy for the prince still held onto Jamie's arm.
"Please don't be so formal, Lady Jamie." The prince said. "My name is Liam use it. And I shall use yours, Jamie. It's a pretty name."
"Yes I like it to for it is my name isn't it?" Jamie smiled
"Yes that it is, Jamie." Liam smiled; his eyes were like his mother's with blue black hair like his father's. Liam was just as handsome as his brothers and he knew it. Just as his father before him, Liam was a ladies man. Why he talked to Jamie, she had no idea.
"Well, Good day, Jamie I hope to see you again." Liam said and walked past Jamie leaving her standing in the hallway shocked.
Later that day when Jamie was in the woods, something happened. She was playing with a couple of squirrels, when all of the sudden, they went skittering away. Startled, Jamie sat up and looked around to see a beautiful woman standing before her. Jamie instantly knew who she was, the great goddess.
Standing up Jamie curtsied her best and stayed down.
"Please, get up, my daughter." The goddess said in a voice not made for human ears.
Jamie did as she was told and came up from her curtsy. "Great Mother what have I done to deserve this honor?" Jamie asked.
"You have a hard path ahead of you. I am here to guide you through that. Me and this fine girl, my daughter, who will be posing as a servant in the palace. She is half goddess, half human.
Jamie was struck dumb if she had been herself, she would have asked what her path was, but didn't think of it at the time. She just nodded and listened to the goddess
