Emperor's Bride to be [The Emperor's New Groove Fanfic]

Ch. 2 What happened?

Pacha rubbed his chocolate brown eyes, thinking he was still half asleep. He looked at his surroundings, seeing no one at the beach or even a ship on the Ocean. He looked at the beautiful little girl with mixed emotions since he didn't know how the child came to be in his boat.

Pacha slowly approached the beautiful little girl since he didn't want to frighten her since she was sleeping. He put his fishing supplies on the boat and gently placed his hands on the child's shoulders.

" Hello? Are you okay?" Pacha speaks in Quechua. He gently shakes the beautiful little girl, wanting to ensure she is okay.

Pacha's chocolate brown eyes widened, and he held his breath when he saw the beautiful little girl open her eyes, revealing an ocean-like blue color.

" Dada?" The beautiful little girl speaks, causing Pacha to look relieved.

" Where are your parents?" Pacha asked in Quechua.

The beautiful little girl stared at Pacha as though she understood what he was saying. She turned her gaze to the Ocean and saw the Sun begin to rise.

" Dada! Mama!" The beautiful little girl points to the Ocean and the Sun where she last saw her parents.

Pacha looked forward and saw the Sunrise greeting them.

Pacha looked at the beautiful little girl with a curious gaze. He noticed her hair was a mix between a Sunrise and a Sunset. However, her eyes were that of the Ocean, a color mixed between blue and green. Even her skin tone was different than his, paler, like the fluffy clouds in the sky.

" I could fish for another day," Pacha murmured. " Or get fish at the market." He speaks, seeing the beautiful little girl look at him and smile.

" I should have Chicha look at her to see she has no injuries under those clothes," Pacha rubbed his chin.

" Hey. What is your name?" Pacha asked the beautiful little girl.

The beautiful little girl adorably tilts her head. She remembered her mother calling her Sunlight.

" Sun! Sun-Light!" The beautiful little girl speaks the same language as Pacha.

" Lucia?" Pacha raised an eyebrow. In his native language, the name Lucia means Light or Sunlight.

The beautiful little girl's ocean-like blue eyes sparkled, thinking her mother was nearby since her name was Lucille. She nodded, causing Pacha to smile.

" Okay, Lucia. I am going to take you to my home. My wife, Chicha, will look over you so that we know you are not hurt." Pacha speaks.

Lucia held her small arms out to Pacha, letting him know she wanted him to carry her.

Pacha's gaze softened, finding Lucia adorable. He picks her up and holds her carefully in his arms.

" Are you hungry? Chicha and I can make you something yummy to eat." Pacha speaks, wanting Lucia to feel comfortable.

Lucia's stomach growled at the mention of food. She looked at her stomach and lightly patted it, causing Pacha to chuckle in amusement.

" I take that as a yes." Pacha softly smiled.

Pacha hid Lucia underneath his cloak to protect the child from the Ocean breeze and prying eyes of the Villagers.

Lucia snuggled against Pacha, feeling comforted in the older male's embrace.

Pacha left the beach and walked towards the beachside Village filled with people very devoted to the Inca Gods. He warily looked at his surroundings while holding Lucia in a protective embrace.
