Words and stuff

The Four Kingdoms

Aurora woke up with the words echoing back and forth in her head “Hello Child”.The voice that told her that in her dreams was of a women that sounded angelic and kind.All she remembered from the dream was blinding light and those words.She decided it was just a dream and moved on to her day. It was Sunday so she knew her father would be busy doing some religious speech about Sanctus.Aurora acted like she believed in Sanctus but she doesn't believe in gods,it just seemed like stories for children to her.So because her father is busy she can do whatever she wants as long as no one noticed her doing something wrong.She put on her comfortable clothes that were mostly white but had some black detailing.She left her room and went to the left,down the hall.She noticed frank the royal cook walking the other way to the kitchen,with a dead goose.She looked at the goose and tried not to scream.She hated it when she saw dead animals or the only thing for dinner was meat.She refused to eat meat.She realized she had been staring to long.She started to walk faster,looking straight ahead like nothing had happened.She turned to the right and opened the door.She walked out of the castle into the courtyard.The  smell of grass and trees was so familiar.There was so many people,all different from one another.She tried to stay out of sight knowing if she got caught she would be punished by her father. Keeping  to the edge of the castle wall she went around the the corner.She walked towards the place that would easiest to climb.She grabbed the piece of stone that was sticking out,pulling herself up.She got on top of the wall that surrounded the castle courtyard she climbed down the ladder she left when she did this previously. She jumped off the ladder when she was about 3 feet from the ground,When she hit the ground very mild pain went through her body. She was finally out of the castle but was still in the city,but she knew that this part of the city was forrest.She went there every other Sunday.She headed into the forest remembering the way to her destination.She heard a strange noise coming from the bush to her right.She agora ready for a fight but she heard a small squeal and realized it was just a chipmunk.She continued into the forest and finally she got to her training area,A small clearing in the forest.She went to the bush that hid her staff,and pulled her staff out. The staff was mainly blue enchanted wood but the metal parts that held it together were green. It was a gift from her birth mother,she never knew her mother but the staff was the most import thing she owned. She put the staff in its holder that was on her back and headed to her straw dummies.She had 4 dummies set up,She took the staff out of its holder. She started spinning the staff and then hit the dummies as fast as she could using both style and effectiveness.She continued this for what she guessed was about half an hour.Then she heard it “Impressive” said a man in the shadows.Aurora jumped when she heard him.Aurora must have looked scared because he said “Don't worry i'm not here to hurt you” “Why are you here then?” “You were chosen princess Aurora” “Chosen for what??” “You have to change fate,your future is bad and you have to change it,now follow me” The man turned and started running,Aurora ran after him.
