Home is not a place, Home is a feeling (Flower Husbands)

A Fly To A Feast

Scott's POV:

As I ran to the double doors that led to the outside of the castle, I took a deep breath and stretched my wings. Once outside I shot up into the sky, viewing the beautiful empire of Rivendell. The ice spikes that came from the ground, the snowflakes that fell around me, the children throwing the snow that laid on the once green grass of Rivendell, and the shop vendors selling all kinds of items. One vendor caught my eye though. This vendor was selling hot chocolate that's steam flew up to my nose, allowing me to smell the rich chocolate. 

I flew down and saw the vendor petrified at seeing the prince in front of them. She then recovered and asked if I wanted a hot chocolate. "Yup!" I reply, seeing her grab a cup and pour the fresh hot chocolate into it. "One hot chocolate for the prince of Rivendell! That will be $2.50," She says handing me the hot chocolate. I give her a five dollar bill and tell her to keep the extra. "Have a nice day prince!" She exclaims while I walk away, "You too!" I reply. 

I then get back in the air and fly over to the sheep farm. Once there I crouch down and pet the baby sheep that were there, adoring their cute faces and their baby fluffy wool. "Baaaaaaaaaaa!" Baa'ed a sheep, rolling around in the grass that surrounded us. I suddenly felt the air around us become colder than usual, which made me shiver. The sheep surrounding me came and huddled around me, allowing me to be warmed by their soft wool.

Soon it came time to go back to the palace, so I said bye to the sheep and flew off, taking some of their wool off me on the way. I made it back to the castle and saw mother and father waiting for me at the entrance. "Scott! Where have you been! The feast is about to begin! All the royals and nobles are already here! We've been waiting so long for you!" Mother exclaimed once I landed, "Sorry mother, I was with the sheep. I guess I got too comfortable and didn't notice what time it was." I say, fixing my suit so it didn't have any wrinkles. "It doesn't even matter anymore, just come in, everyone's been waiting for too long already." She says, dragging me by the arm into the dining hall. 

When we got to the hall I saw only one seat open, it was between two girls. One was short and had a mushroom hat on, a minty green shirt, brown shorts, and mushroom shoes. Then the other girl was wearing a purple crown with blue gems on it, a white shirt, and a purple pair of pants. I sighed and put on my "in front of important people" face and walked towards them. I sat down and felt awkward since none of them said anything to me. Then the short one started to speak, "Hi! My name's Shelby but most people call me Shubble! What's your name?" She says enthusiastically quick, smiling a huge smile, "I'm Scott." I reply, kinda wanting to know why she was so short. "The reason why I'm short is because I'm a gnome." She says to me, looking down sadly. "Oh, I didn't mean to offend you, I was just curious that's it!" I quickly say, not wanting to make the little gnome sad, "It's fine! Everyone always asks why I'm short, but you're the first person who's been nice about it, except for Katherine over there." When she said that I looked to my left and saw who she called Katherine. "Umm, hello..." I say, seeing her eat Rivendell's icy apples. "Hi! I'm Katherine, princess of the Overgrown!" She excitedly said, also smiling really big.

The three of us continued to chat and eat our food, but in the corner of my eye I spotted a certain cod looking at me from time to time. It seemed though, that his looking at me was interrupted each time by the person next to him, which was the Ocean Queen of the Ocean Empire Lizzie. Rumor's say that she is over 1000 years old, and the brother of this cod boy. She had pink hair that fell to her shoulders, blue axolotl skin, and a white gown. On the other hand, cod boy wore a leather outfit with a cod hat on. He also had loads of slime that fell from his hat. I'm not gonna lie though, he is kinda cute. Maybe he might be the one that I will court, or maybe not. There are others here who are also cute. 

All of a sudden, mother stood up and started speaking, "Since everyone is done with their food..."
