The Princess of MioFabia

Chapter 3 The Adventure Begins

By the time they got back home, Terraportare was covered with leaves and frost. Although it was cold, everyone showed there respect to the brave, fallen leader and the one next in line. Aurora knew that this was something that is meant to be. Its in her blood and its in her destiny to take this huge step with this responsibility. However, apart of her was just hoping this was just some crazy nightmare. At the end of the path, There was a boat filled with beautiful of the land. They were grown out of the hands of the people who have been blessed with mother nature's abilities. In the boat Aurora and daisy's father went and went first Aurora. Then the rest of the archers to the cliff closest to the village and the water. 

Aurora's mother walked up to the boat to see her husband for the last time before kissing his lips and putting a handwritten letter on his chest with their seal on it. When the vessel was coming close enough to the cliff, Aurora fired the first flaming arrow before the other archers joined. The boat was caught in flames that flickered on the water and into the sunset.

That night, Aurora didn't sleep a wink again for the thought of her father's face when he got pretty much impelled was something that she would never forget. Also the look on that king's face when He did this was sickeningly feeling in her stomach. Her father was so much more that just a dad and it killed her that he died in such a horrible way. Suddenly, there was a knock on Aurora's bedroom door and in came, her mother. Aurora stayed laying on the bed until her mother walked in and sat down on the bed. The wise older woman then took her pale hand and gently rubbed her eldest daughter's back while saying," Oh my poor light, you have now got even more responsibility on your shoulders." at that moment Aurora remembered through her grief that she was now meant to take her father's place as the first female chieftain in Terraportare history.  she then looks at the sword that has been given to every male chieftain before her and was nervous. The sword, spada gleamed in the bright full moon night," Mamma, What if Padre was wrong about me? What if I'm not ready to lead this village to greatness?" She askes in a low voice before looking at the woman who brought her into this world.

The mother looked at Aurora and laughed," My dear child, how could you think like that when you have proven yourself time and time again. Not just to your father and I, but also to this whole village. What more do you have to prove?" She asked before Daisy snooped her nose in the doorway of the big room and glares at her sister. She then said," Oh I don't know mother, Maybe Aurora needs to just stick with being with the rest of us woman and Let the guys take over. My Jake would be a perfect chieftain." Daisy says before giving an evil grin. In that moment, Aurora then jumped up and got face to face with her sister." Listen here, little sis, If Jake even tries once to challenge me, he will be in ten feet of solid ground." She said angerly before storming off. Their mother then gave a disapproving look at Daisy and walked out of the room.

The next day, dawn came up earlier than expected and along with it was Aurora who was ready to go try and hunt even in the weather.  Along with her was her shape shifting familiar who was in a form of a horse and all the people who were able to hunt went to the forest. Everyone needed enough me food to last a little bit until the Weatherthorn twins convinced the neighboring village to share some of their grain too.  Aurora went to go hide her usual spot where she could always get game. It was a tree that was near a waterfall that starts to make a river passing the same tree. 

Hunting was something that always calm Aurora's mind and helped her cope with things. She can sit in quiet and become one with the forest around her. As Aurora sat then, She thought of making a house in the trees one day. With this thought, the tree began to move. At this moment, Aurora didn't know what was going on so she held onto the tree tight. After a little bit of time, it stopped moving and the branches where made into a little home. She didn't know how it was possible. However, Aurora thought was something defiantly wanted to explore with her new powers. When the hunters came home, Aurora had a lot of meat for the rest of the whole winter season and for the first time in a long time, she felt like herself again.  

A few months later, spring came and the celebration of a new beginning. Along with it, Aurora's ceremony was about to begin. With her armor over her long blueish-green dress, Aurora felt as though she was ready for a fight just in case. On the dress were long flowy sleeves and a decorative belt that she used to hold Spada's sheath on. Aurora's long black hair for once was partially down. It was just braided around her head in skinny temple braids. Smiling at the big day a head, Aurora walked down the path that lead to the ceremony that was at the arch at the entrance of the village. Everyone was watching her in ah except for daisy who felt as though the village needed someone more than her sister. Once there, Aurora kneeled in front of the village elder. 

The elder then looked at Aurora before saying," Aurora, Daughter of Aelfraed, Are you ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead of you like you chieftains before you have?" She asked before Aurora nods. The elder then goes on to say while drawling on her forehead with ash," Questa lacrima tra i tuoi occhi è il simbolismo di tutte le lacrime che perderai per il tuo popolo. Queste linee sono la corona che ti viene messa ad essere indossata per la tua lunga vita." She then put on a ring that had the symbol of the rose on it. It was the symbol of the blood rose that was connected to the village. All chieftains have wore this exact ring."Che tu indossi questo anello come tuo padre prima di te. Possano anche i tuoi antenati gildarti attraverso il tuo regno come capo tribù e aiutarti con qualsiasi decisione sulla tua strada." The elder said before helping Aurora to her feet and Aurora turned around to the people with her head high." From this day forward, This lady shall be called Chieftain Aurora. May you obey and follow her wisdom like her father before her." Said the elder before everyone cheered and music filled the air.

As the celebrations went on, Daisy and Jake were being sneaky and were gone the whole celebration. Which was odd but everyone just thought that they were just trying to get alone time. For they were married, just they lived with Daisy's family At the moment. Aurora was enjoying her time dancing with her love, Kevin and enjoying the food. Aurora's mother was all a lone with her painting that she did really well of her husband." Oh my dear Aelfraed, How I wish you were here tonight. You would have been so proud of our luce guerriero. However, She still doesn't know that secret that only you and I know. I will be headed to our home to take care of the royal duties in preparation for our light to take over. I fear for our piccolo fiore though. Daisy has changed in a way that concerns me. Please watch over our little daisy." She says to the picture before going to sleep. 

The next morning, Aurora was in her full fledged armor and had Iceburg in horse form with another horse holding bags for Aurora. The Weatherthorn twins right behind her getting ready along with Kevin. Aurora's mother rushed up to her," Aurora, where are you going? you have just become chieftain." She says as Aurora sighed and then said," Mother, while I'm gone, Ethan Lionheart is in charge. The King of Cativo needs to pay for the murder of my father and the last chieftain." she says honestly. Her mother was about to say something but just let her daughter go. With Aurora and her group on their way to the next village, they stopped to get a gorgeous view of their home before going into the forest.
