My Short Stories

Raja and the Golden Tiger: part 2

"I came to tell you I'm going to look for the golden tiger."

Raja's parents looked at her with a mixture of confusion and fear, " You can't go alone," the Queen said looking worried and scared for her daughter, "at least  take someone with you, it's too dangerous for you to go alone." Raja thought about what her parents were saying, "Alright I'll ask Lucas if he can come with me." 

Her parents looked at each other, "Of course, Lucas should go with you," the Queen said, Raja couldn't help but notice that her parents were smiling at each other as if they had a secret they only knew.

"I'll go find Lucas then," Raja said leaving the throne room.
As she walked down the hall, she thought about all her adventures and how they were fun and exciting, but now she had to find the golden tiger or she would have to marry the king of Kidono.

Lucas on the other hand, was in the garden thinking about Raja. Over the years she had been reckless with her safety and Lucas was worried that one day Raja would get herself killed, then he would have no one.
His parents had passed away when he was younger and none of his extended family wanted him, Raja was the only one who cared about him. Lucas always felt less alone when he was with Raja.

"So this is where you ran off to," Lucas turned to see Raja leaning on one of the marble columns, "I thought it was a good place to think," Lucas said, Raja had her famous smile across her face. "No, I know what that smile means and I am not doing it," Raja stepped closer and put on her best puppy eyes, "fine, I'll do it if you stop doing that."

With that Raja and Lucas headed to the guard tower.
Raja made it a tradition to play a prank on the guards before she leaves for her next adventure.

"Hurry they're almost done with patrol," Raja was putting the finishing touches on her prank while Lucas was being lookout, "I'm almost done, how far are they?"

Lucas looked down and saw the guards coming towards the tower, "They're almost here." Raja had just finished her prank, "Done. Now let's move this to the window," Raja made a mixture of mango, honey, dragonfruit, and tree sap. This mixture will attract most of the wildlife in the area.

"Ready, 1, 2........3!" Raja and Lucas poured the mixture onto the guards, "Ok, now we have to run." Lucas said grabbing Raja's wrist and running to the horses outside of the tower.

With that, Lucas and Raja started their adventure by riding off into the woods.

To be continued......
