The Princess and the Faun
He would watch her smile, he would watch her cry. He would watch her grown and watch her learn. Most importantly, he would watch helpless as he fell in love. . .
Chapter 02: The Library
In the few weeks that past, Moanna felt herself feeling better in her new home. Yes her father was busy, but after losing his child to the world above, he hardly ever turned her away when Moanna wanted to speak to him, show him something she found, or show a picture she drew with Pan during her lessons.
Speaking of which, they seem to be going well. Right away Pan was made to be Moanna's instructor and she took to learning like a duck takes to water. Moanna was fairly content with snuggling up to Pan with a book in her hands as they read together and learned about the world, important people and creatures. Creatures that would help her, creatures to avoid and some creatures that Pan would show her later in life.
Some books Pan had to read to her, they were in a language that looked familiar but she couldn't quite read. It was the Fae language which looked like a mixture of Gaelic and Latin. Turning through one of the books, Moanna was showed a beautiful picture of one of the most gorgeous women she had ever seen. She look to be made of light almost and glowed with vibrant beauty. She had white eyes with flowing golden, almost white, hair and was surround by the forest and its creatures. Moanna made Pan pause as she looked over the picture.
"That is Aoibheall, your highness"
"Ah-Veel?" Moanna tried to pronounce. "She is very pretty". Pan nodded, "she has great power, little one, and ruler of the northern lands from here"
"There are other kingdoms?"
Pan nodded once again, his wild mane falling onto her head and shoulders. Moanna was starting to notice that, ever since she had arrived, the kingdom had been getting brighter. It was bright when she arrived but everyone seemed so happy and Pan was changing. Not drastically, little things at first, like she noticed his broken horn was fixed when she came back. His hair was getting more vibrant and body didn't shake as much as they first met.
Moanna giggled and playfully tugged at it, making her old goat shake his big horned head and snort. He wasn't mad though, only smiled and tugged at her hair. "How many Kingdoms?" she asked curiously. "There are four, including our own. Aoibheall lives at Carraig Liath" Pan answered as they continued reading on.
"Moanna!"
It was late and both Pan and Moanna had been reading different books when her mother had walked up, holding her baby brother and a servant trailing behind. "There you two are, you are both going to be late for dinner" she smiled. Moanna was the first to get up and rush to her mother. Nuzzling into her robes as Pan placed the books upon a desk. "Forgive me your Highness" he bowed. "We were both so involved in our lesson that we didn't realize it was late".
"It's quite alright Faun" she said stroking her daughter's hair with one hand while holding her brother with the other. "Come we shall all dine together, the librarian can grab those books" she said.
"Yes, Your Majesty" The faun said, bowing his head and then following along the Queen, little Moanna holding his hand while they walked.
