The Sword of the Winds

1 || Lester

"Good morning Your Highness."

I sighed, rolling over and facing my servent, William. He had tanned skin, dark brown hair that had been shaved close to his head, and dark brown eyes the colour of dirt right after rainfall. My eyes darted around the room. Golden silk draps covered the wide three foot long widows that had golden lines in the shapes of doves on them. The walls were made of thick white stone covered in tapestries dipecting golden and white doves.

"Whaaaaat I'm tryn' to sleep," I mumbled, my face half buried in my sliver pillow.

"Well, your dad wants to see you and he sent me to get you."

"Huh?!" I shouted, throwing off my covers and jumping out of bed. "Why didn't you wake me earlier? I need more time to get ready!"

"I tried but you wanted to sleep for ten more miniutes," William said amusment glinting in his eyes before he past me my clothes.

"You shouldn't have listened William, you could've just summoned some water and splashed me in the face to get me up," I told William, yanking my clothes on and then opening the the door. William followed only a meter behind, pausing to close the door then jogging slightly to catch up to me.

"You know I'm not allowed to use my abilities on members of the Royal Family," he said, the  small blue gem winking in the light from were it was imbeded in the middle of his forarm. It looked like a tattoo from first glance, but more experienced people-aka me-knew that he was chosen to become a summoner by the King. The summoners chosen by the King would be given a gem, blue for water, green for earth, light purple for air, red of fire and yellow for animal. William had became an water summoner once he touched the gem, and the gem had inbedded itself into his skin, sharing it's powers with him. Becoming part of him if the gem had been any bigger than Williams, it would have had to much power for him and he likely wouldv'e died.

"You used your powers on Brianna," I replied, laughing at the thought. Brianna, my sister, loved her sleep even more than me. When I had first met William, I had ordered him to splash water onto her face to wake her up because I was too scared to do it myself. It had ended in Brianna punching him in the face.

William looked at me with a playful glare on his face. "I'm never doing that again, no matter what happens, I'm never ever going to wake your sister up again."

"Such a shame, I think she might let you wake her up now..." I said.

"What do you mean?" he asked, confused.

"I mean, it's very clear she likes you, William."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"No way."

"Yes way." We stopped in front of the pure gold doors that led into my father's-the King's-Throne Room.

"No way."

"Yes way."

"Yes way what?" My sister Brianna stood in front of me, her hazel eyes perfectly matching her yellow dress, and her dark brown hair was out of its usual braid almost reaching her hips. I knew she must've also just got up, but although getting up rather late, her hair was brushed and she was scowling less then she usually does after just getting up. Brianna right after waking up was scary, but ten minutes after and she looked stunning. Though I personally thought she looked best in armour and holding a sword. I would never tell anyone that of course.

"Oh, Brianna. There you are. We were just talking about you," I told her.

"What did you do, Lester?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at me.
