Destiny

Prologue

Lady Dorian is in the yard with Jarvis her best friend teaching her the way of the sword.

Jarvis is lady Dorian's handmaiden. Jarvis mother died a year ago leaving her to look after her two young siblings while their father left them five years ago after their mother gave birth to the youngest. Jarvis is seventeen, the same age as Dorian so they can connect.

"Clasp the sword with whichever hand you are comfortable with" Lady Dorian urged and Jarvis did so.

" Think of the sword as an extension of your arm," Dorian said as she strikes her sword against Jarvis sword which made Jarvis sword drop to the ground.

"It fell. Your arm can't just fall off"
"I told you your sword is an extension of your arm so believe the sword is your arm. Now tighten your grip"

"I'm hopeless in the swords can we do something else?" Jarvis confessed with boredom in her tone.

" But we just started practice," Dorian said as she sat upon the ground looking at Jarvis with dissatisfaction.

"What are you giving the Queen for her birthday?"Jarvis asked

" I made a dress for her."

" You made a dress for her" Jarvis said in shock surprised that Dorian made a dress for the queen because Dorian hates sewing.

"I would like to go prepare for the Queen's birthday feast"
"Let's go," Dorian said and they both went to her chambers. Jarvis bathed her and dressed her up in a silky smooth gown. After putting on the gown, she sat on the seat in her room and Jarvis combed her hair until it shone like black diamonds. Dorian had beautiful black hair which she got from her mother.

Dorian and Jarvis went to the dining room where the feast was taking place. The room was filled with food, music, and enough wine for everyone.

As they arrived, Dorian greeted the Queen and King.
"My King, My Queen," she said as Jarvis never stopped bowing her head.
"Come forward child," Queen Aries said
"You look beautiful Darling come sit next to me"
Dorian did so and Jarvis stood next to her.

"Your gift My Queen" Dorian said as Jarvis gave her the dress and she gave it to the Queen.

The Queen smiled caressing the dress feeling the softness of the fabric.
"I made it myself. Every thread on the dress I pulled myself just for you" Dorian said smiling brightly being proud of herself for the fabulous work she had done on the dress.

Adrian had just entered the dining room and he is walking towards the King and Queen.
"Your highnesses," he said proudly
"Happy Birthday My Queen. I wish you good fortune in your new age"
"Thank you, Adrian"
"My King I went on a hunt and killed a very large bear. I would love to give it to you if it pleases my king"

"You honor me, Adrian. I was quite the hunter when I was your age"
"I'd like to go hunting with you"

"I would be honored to do so your grace," Adrian said smiling and bowing.

"My Queen" Adrian said as he walked over to her and gave her a beautiful necklace.
" I had the greatest jews man in the whole city make it for you," he said

"It looks, beautiful child. I love it and I will wear it with pride" Queen Aries said with a smile on her face.

The feast was huge and many lords and ladies from different cities came to visit. And the Queen had a lot of gifts.

Dorian and Adrian the two siblings argued about who gave the best gift and the Queen had told them that she loved each of their gifts equally.

Soon after the Queen and Lady Dorian walked around the castle in the moonlight.
