Sacrificed to her king

Having fun

NOELLE'S POV,

I wake up hours later laying in my bed. I see Roan sitting next to me and he is holding my hand. Immediately the events of the day before start coming back to me and I start to tremble and cry.

''O Noelle,'' Roan says with a warm voice and he takes me in his arms. He rocks me for a while until I start to calm down.

He takes my face in his hands and says, ''I'm so sorry I was not there on time Noelle, I should have never let you go back alone.''

I look away and ask, ''What happened to the men?''

Roan gets an annoyed look on his face and answers, ''You don't have to worry about them anymore they are dead.''

When I think about them, I can still feel them on my body.

''Good,'' I say.

Roan puts a kiss on my forehead, ''I have some things I need to do but I will come back later to check on you. You should try to get some more rest. I will ask Maya to keep you company in the meantime.''

I still feel very tired, so I fall asleep soon after he leaves. The next couple of days Roan visits me as much as he can, we talk about the village, and he tells me stories about him and Julias. After 3 days I finally feel like I have some energy again and my magic is slowly coming back. I have thought about the attack a lot and I have decided that I must be strong. I can't let some nasty bastards get me down.

I had just gotten out of the shower when Roan walks into the room. ''Oh, good you are up,'' he says.

He smiles at me, ''I was thinking maybe you would like to do something fun today?''

I definitely would like to get out of my room, so I answer, ''Sounds good what do you have in mind?''

His face goes all mysterious, ''It's a surprise but you should wear some comfortable clothes. I will meet you in the garden in 10 minutes.''

I decide to go for dark red pants with a white t-shirt. I put my hair in a long braid and put on my long brown boots. I walk to the garden where Roan is waiting.

"So where are we going?''

He just starts walking and answers, ''You will see.''

We walk to a big building that looks like a barn. Roan stands still at the front door of the building. Just when I want to ask him what it is, one head sticks out of one of the windows. It's the head of a big Sea horse.

''O wow are we going to pet the Sea horses?'' I ask excitedly.

Roan laughs, ''We are going to do much more than just pet them. I am going to teach you how to ride.''

from the moment I saw a Seahorse I have wanted to learn how to ride them so I couldn't be happier. We walk into the stables where there are about 20 Sea horses.

''You can pick anyone you like,'' Roan says.

I walk past a few of them, but my eye gets caught by a big elegant dark blue Sea horse. Her skin is shiny, and she has aqua blue manes. On her head, there is a big moonstone between her eyes.

''I want to ride that one,'' I say.

Roan walks towards the mare, ''Good choice this is Eowyn, she is the daughter of our best mare. She is fast and stubborn, but she will go through fire for you if she decides that she likes you.''

I stroke her beautiful head and say to her, ''I think we will get along just fine beauty.''

Eowyn seems to like being called beautiful because she snorts happily. Roan walks towards a big green male Sea horse with purple manes and green emeralds across his tail, ''This is my Sea horse Oberyn.''
