The Prince and The Hunter

chapter 5

* Vaira is pulled by the knights into the castle. She looks around noticing that the inside of the castle has a lot of red, gold, and white. The walls are red, the edge of everything has gold, and the floor was marbled white. She squinted her eyes at how everything was so bright and shiny. Finally Vaira was put into a room where sit the king, queen, and the prince sipping tea.

" Sit at that red chair across from them." The Knight demanded. " Alright, Alright no need to get harsh with me." Vaira slowly walked away from the knights to her sit. " Oh dear are you alright? Your lip is bleeding." The queen ask. " Hm? Oh yes, I am alright thank you." Vaira said with a smile trying to wipe the blood away.

" Here, use this." The prince said handing her his handkerchief. " Oh, thank you." Vaira took the handkerchief, and wiped her lip. "Now that we got that out of the way, tell me who are you?" The King asked with a frim tone. " Ahh well, My name is Vaira, I am 18 years old, I live in the woods in a small cottage with my father, Sam Fisher. My father is the Kingdoms meat provider." Vaira explains with a smile. " Is that so? Now tell me, why is that you a girl of all people wanting to fight the Dark King? It's a very dangerous job."

* Vaira sat there not having an answer to his question. She wondered if she would tell him the truth or a lie*

" Well, your majesty...I believe that it doesn't matter if I am a man, a women, or some weird type of creature I can still help the prince fight the Dark King. The reason why I joined was to show everyone that I,  a woman, can be as much as a fighter like those men who were out there." Vaira said nodding her head liking the words that come out of her mouth.

" Hmm well Vaira, I am glad you showed everyone that you are more then capable of winning." The King laughed as he sat up walking to Vaira. " Follow me Vaira. Oh, and you too my son." The King put his arm around Vaira leading her out of the room.

* The King lead Vaira, and Lucia to a big black door*

" This is my favorite room in the Kingdom" The King put in a golden key into a black door, and with a ' click' the door creaked open.

*As the opened Vaira, and Lucia were met with weapons and tools all around the walls*

" Oh my." Vaira said amazed at the room. "Now, pick what you need, and meet me down stairs for goodbyes. You will be heading off your journey tonight." The King walked out the room closing the door behind him.

* Vaira, and Lucia looked around the room unaware of each other's existence. Then Vaira looked at the prince, and the prince looked at her with sudden realization*

" Hello" Vaira said softy. " Hi" the prince replied back. " I am Vaira." She put her hand out for the prince to take. " Lucia" The prince took her hand into his. " Lucia? Isn't that a girl's name?" Vaira said teasing the prince.

* Lucia was shocked by her question almost feeling offended by it.*

" Well, isn't being a hunter a men's job?" Lucia snapped back. " Touché." Varia laughed.

* Vaira looked around the room looking at all her options. She smiled thinking of a way to tease the prince.*

" I was looking at your paintings while we walked here, and I noticed you have a sister?" Vaira said looking at a silver knife. "What do you mean? I don't have a sister." Lucia walked up to Vaira confused.
