The Wingfeather Saga Sequel

Leeli

Sorry, I know that these before the story notes are annoying but I just wanted to say:
THANK YOU!!! To Everyone who reads my stories! You guys make me feel so good! Thanks for all the positive feedback! I really appreciate it! Now, I am going to focus a bit on each Jewel starting with Leeli! I feel like she isn't the most talked about character of all. Just my opinion! Here we go!

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping. The day felt perfect. Leeli woke up with a smile and sat up. She stretched, pulled the covers off herself, grabbed her crutch, and got out of bed. After she had gotten ready, she went downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning everyone!" She said cheerfully as she hugged them all individually. "Good morning Leeli! You seem happy!" Sara, who recently married her brother, Janner, said with a smile. Leeli smiled and sat down. "I always am!" She said.

"Kalmar. You have to meet with a few kings from different kingdoms today. They have already sailed here and will meet with you after lunch. Janner, you must be with him as usual. Make sure he is safe." Nia said.

She always kept track of what they had to do and when. She did that when Esben was king and now she is doing that for her kids.

"Leeli, you are going to the school and are going to talk to the children about your life. Play them a song or two if you would like." Nia continued. "Yes Momma." Leeli said with joy.

She loved to go and talk to the children. Although she did miss the houndry that she helped at the Green Hollows. She loved dogs so much!

"Well, eat your breakfast and get to work children! You must not be late!" Nia said and the three siblings listened without hesitation. "Alright everyone see you later!" Leeli said as she walked away.

She walked out of the castle and breathed a breath of happiness. She loved Anneria. Knowing her father once ruled this land made her feel, so comforted. Like she will always be safe in this land.

She had a few hours to spare before she had to go to the school so she walked over to Thorn's house to see if he wanted to go on one of their walks through the kingdom.

Just as she was going to knock on the door, it swung open and Thorn stood there staring at her.

"Hi Thorn!" She said with a happy smile. "Hi Leeli. I was just going to find you! You want to go on a walk?" He ask. "That's what I was going to ask you!" She said as the walked down the street.

She was happy Thorn and his family moved from the Green Hollows to Anneria. She was happy to have Thorn with her.

"And how is Miss Song Maiden doing in this lovely morning?" Thorn said in the most sophisticated voice he could he could make. Leeli giggled. "She is doing quite well!" She said in a voice that was part sophisticated and part trying not to laugh. "That's good!" Thorn said with a smile.

They walked to the bakery to get some pastries and they went into the forest to their favorite brook to dip their feet in.

While they sat there, they talked about the Green Hollows. "Remember when we went into the houndry and Baxter ran around like he was mad because you were chasing him for eating your food!?" Leeli said as she burst out in laughter.

"That dog of yours was a sneaky one." Thorn said with a chuckle.

They sat there in silence. "You would have liked Nugget though. He was the bravest dog I've ever had." She said as she remembered her little black dog that became her BIG black dog. She remembered how Nugget had sacrificed his life to save theirs. I tear ran down her cheek.

"I'm sure I would have. I know you miss him." Thorn said as he put a comforting arm around her. She sniffed and wiped away her tears.

"Thorn. Did you mean it?" She asked. Thorn looked at her questionably. "Yes. I would have loved to meet Nugget." He said. "Not that. What you said when we were being attacked by fangs all those years ago. On the roof before I had to play my whistleharp." She asked slowly.
