The subtle World of Terraria

Side Story (Princess Luna part 1)

*Luna POV*

My parents are the esteemed King and Queen. While our numbers may not be vast, merely comprising a couple hundred souls, this close-knit community affords us the privilege of residing together within the grand confines of a magnificent castle. Set apart from the conventions of typical tribes, who might establish towns, villages, or kingdoms, our exceptional strength and power have enabled us to construct our very own fortress, a testament to our formidable presence in the world.

My dream is about to come True! I'm so excited!

Anticipation tingled through my veins as I reveled in the knowledge that my long-cherished dream was on the precipice of realization. The night enveloped my surroundings, yet my heart brimmed with restless excitement, for tomorrow marked the advent of my very own birthday.

I nestled upon the lavish expanse of my queen-sized bed within the expanse of my spacious room, I found myself unable to succumb to slumber's embrace, so fervent was my anticipation. The air crackled with a sense of impending joy, and sleep eluded me as my thoughts danced with gleeful anticipation, each passing moment propelling me closer to the wondrous day that awaited.

Tomorrow I'll turn 16! Which means that I will finally be crowned and become a princess!

My father's words echoed in my mind, reminding me of the immense responsibility that accompanies the title of princess. A myriad of tasks and duties awaited me within the castle's walls—tending to the needs of our subjects, grappling with weighty decisions, meticulously overseeing the kingdom's finances to ensure its prosperity, and embodying elegance and grace as a beacon of inspiration for all. The weight of these expectations might seem daunting to some, but to me, it was an exhilarating prospect. The anticipation swelled within me, and despite the inherent challenges, I eagerly awaited the opportunity to embrace my role as a princess, ready to embark on this extraordinary journey of leadership and self-discovery.

The allure of becoming a princess was deeply rooted in the enchanting tales my mother would share with me. Her stories painted a vivid picture of a life filled with grand adventures, noble pursuits, and an eternal sense of wonder. I was captivated by her accounts of princesses who defied conventions, embarked on daring quests, and left their mark on history. These narratives ignited a spark within me, fueling my longing for a life where monotony was replaced by excitement and every day held the promise of something extraordinary.

My mother, ever the romantic, would regale me with the tale of how my father proposed to her when she ascended to the esteemed title of princess. It was a testament to the transformative power of love and the significance of this revered role. As I listened to her recount the story, a kaleidoscope of emotions enveloped me—hope, anticipation, and the belief that my own journey as a princess would be imbued with a similar sense of magic and romance.

Thus, armed with the dreams woven by my mother's stories and the legacy of love that my parents shared, I eagerly embraced the prospect of becoming a princess. It was not merely the crown upon my head that beckoned me, but the promise of a life infused with adventure, purpose, and the everlasting power of love's enchantment.

As thoughts of becoming a princess filled my mind, a whimsical notion fluttered through my thoughts—perhaps, just maybe, someone would one day propose to me as well. In that fleeting moment, a vivid image of Reid, a dear friend who held a special place in my heart, materialized before me. A warm blush painted my cheeks in shades of crimson as my imagination ran wild with possibilities.

Seeking solace and privacy, I nestled myself into the soft embrace of my pillow, burying my face in its comforting fabric. Hidden from the world, I allowed my mind to wander, indulging in the daydreams of tender affection and heartfelt promises. In the sanctuary of my own thoughts, the possibility of a future intertwined with love and companionship filled me with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.
