TBATE- Together

Runaway Princess

Third person pov

It was a clear sunny day in Zestier, the royal palace shining as it sits above the city, its beautifully decorated wall layered with gems, and gold was a sight for one to see

Although the palace may be beautiful, there was a very troublesome problem within

Tessia Eralith, yes, the princess, even though she is almost the age of 5, she has been through so much corruption

All because of her being the successor of Elenoir

Everyone of her friends or what she thought were her friends were all after her wealth and status

All the princess does these days is sit around

It's a sad sight to see

Tessia pov

Today, May 1st, my birthday

A day I will never be excited for, each year I would spend this day alone i was tired of it

I wanted to run away, but where?To who?

Questions I couldn't answer

Sure, I had my Mom and Dad, even Gramps

But they were always too busy with their stupid royalty duties.

I would be better off by myself

Here I am alone in my room on my own birthday

I always tried to make friends, but I couldn't see through their bad intentions

Every single one of them want to rule

I was more of a steeping stone than a friend

"Hey honey, we're sorry about not being here for your birthday," the words that woken me from my sleep with a gentle rub on my back from my mother

"It's fine," I said, my words coming out as a soft whisper

"All this work we have to do since the end of the war with the humans," my father said, coming up with an excuse

'The war that has ended years ago,' I thought to myself

It didn't make sense to me that they have so much 'work' over a war that ended so long ago

But it's not my place to argue

"Little one, why don't you come with me, and we go out to train?" My Grampa said from the door way to my massive room

I would like to, but my parents would never let me

"No Viron she still a little child" my mother said before i could even form words in my mouth

I never had to option to choose what I wanted to do

Today, 6 days after my birthday I plan to runaway

I had no place in mind along as I was not here

Sneaking out was easy since I a
Alwaysed stayed in my room no one would expect me to crawl out my window

As I reached the exit gates of the city I heard faint words from the guards "that's the princess stop her" I manged to hear out before I was gone

I wasn't able to fully activate the gate so I didn't arrive in Xyrus as I intended to

I was in a random location in the elven forest, I have a little knowledge how to navigate the forest from grampa bit other wise I'm lost

After hours of wondering I found what looks like a merchant group

My parents told me to stay away from stranger humans but I was excited to see others since I been alone the entire time

"Hello" I said loudly trying to the 4 men's attention to "hello there little one" the biggest man said while he licked his lips in a perverted way

"Uhh, nevermind" I said awkwardly, the big man a words gave me fear, I knew what slave traders where but I didn't think I would run into any since the war ended

"Get her" the skinny man said as I started running, I couldn't get away i haven't eaten all day I was so tired

Eventually I was caught

It was so scary everything was dark

I passed out for what felt like days I couldn't tell

My limbs numb and sore, my heart racing

Is this really how my life ends?

My thoughts were distrusted as I heard an explosion and a scream from a middle-aged man

The light slowly started to come to my eyes I could see once again

In front of me was a kid my age with azure eyes

Burning like blue flames

Auburn hair flowing like a sea of blood

His features sharp and charming

i never felt this before was it love?

"will you be my friend?" the words slip from my head to my mouth

ARTHUR POV

I can't believe what just happened. sylvia she was gone. The only other person i could talk the truth to

'Not now Arthur,' I said to myself, bringing back to reality

I noticed there was a short, pointy ear, white-haired girl in front, me she must be a elf based on her features

They were somewhat pretty in a strange way

I freed the girl from the binds and our eyes meet each others she had beautiful emerald eyes, I never seen such eyes like hers

I felt a tint or red pass by my face, 'damn these growing hormones,' I thought to myself

After our little staring competition if u want to call it that she spoke

"Want to be friends?"
