Merida sighed in boredom. She and her family were on their annual trip to Corona. They were to attend the lantern festival. Her father and King Corona had been close friends for years. Her father has even assisted in the mad search for Princess Corona.
Merida had managed to convince her parents to allow her to ride Angus rather than sit in the family carriage. Still, her mother insisted that she not ride ahead. She slumped with her face against her grand horse's strong neck and pouted.
The trip was a few days ride, and they stopped each night for rest. When they arrived they would be 'esteemed guests' of the king and queen. Merida was not looking forward to all of the attention and looks that she would receive. She was however, excited for the adventures that she had in store.
The last time that they had visited, her mother had bade her stay close, and she'd only been able to sneak away once or twice. With her mother's new outlook, she was sure to have more free time, and be able to explore this beautiful neighboring country.
