Chapter 2 ~ A New Friendship

With the heeling of the horses the carriage came to a stop, one by one they were escorted out of their seats onto the rough ground. It only took a second for Vero to loose track of thought as he stood looking up apon the castle in all it's glory. It was his first time actually visiting a neighbouring kingdom, it was like getting a new set of clothes except they were custom made, initials embroidered in on the side.

The heavy gates dropped as they entered through the large doors. Although the castle is almost fantasy like it had a cold feel to it, one that could send shivers down your spine. With each step Vero took he felt as if he was stepping on ice.

,,Vero, best behaviour, we are not here for a tea party, understood?'', a stern comment from his father was made as he nodded his head slowly. With a firm shake of his head Mr.Bulan passed the guards, a swift tilt of the hand and the heavy doors swung open. They had made it to the dining hall, Vero felt his heart drop a bit, if he thought the castle was cold he was in for a treat. Warm smiles were the only thing that lit up the ice cold room, who knows if they were truly real. Slowly following behind his parents Vero could not help but let his eyes wander, looking left and right at every detail the eye could see. His eyes ended at the foot of the table, it was him..the Highness himself, the King of Sylvanian. Vero couldn't help but feel a slight pierce in his heart as he met eyes with him, pulling away quickly to scurry off to find a seat near to his parents. Wasn't long after that he noticed a rather familiar looking boy, he looked somewhat like him but almost enchanting. He was more or less his height with longish dark brown hair, tanish brown skin and dark chocolate eyes that resembled the night sky. Round framed glasses and small beauty marks around his face which brought out his somewhat constant grump look.

With nothing but a slight look, the young boy was off, pulling himself out with a peep and making his way to the doors. Vero turned to his mother letting out a faint whisper, ,,Your highness, I mean not to interrupt, but if it is not too much of a problem if he could perhaps accompany the prince on his way out?''. He turned his gaze towards Mrs.Bulan with a tainted grin as he simply nodded his head, Vero rose from his seat as quick as he could and sped walked his way out the hall. He searches down the corridors for the young boy but he was no where in sight, due to his lack of concentration he bumped into a castle maid. ,,oh dear..you must be the young prince of Esmeray, how could i assist you young one?'' the maid would reply with a heart warming stare. ,,I'm looking for the prince, his about my height, dark brown hair, round glasses'' Vero said in a second as the maid let out a slight chuckle. ,,I assume your looking for prince Tobias? He should be in his room, right this way my prince'' she ended as she swiftly stepped around the corner and placed a light knock on the door.

The door opened and a small boy peered out as he looked up at the maid, opening the door more to find the prince from Esmeray. His eyes lit up for a second before he looked at the maid, ,,The prince was seeking you, I'm sure making a new friend wouldn't hurt". Vero give a big, warm smile as he looked at the dirt eye coloured boy who reached his hand out towards the room and swung the door closed as Vero stepped in. Vero's eyes sparkles looking around at the room, it was like taking a trip to a new house. He ran his way over to the giant mirror making himself look bigger as if he was a monster, Tobias had a wave of fear flash over him as the boy ran. He couldn't help but worry that he would break something and land him in some BIG trouble. Vero paced around the room looking at everything he could see, he ended up Infront of the bed as he looked back at Tobias with a smile. He simply looked back confused as Vero looked at the bed and back at him, it finally clicked that he was asking for permission. He nodded and Vero plopped down on the bed, lying dead in the middle like a princess from a fantasy book.

To Tobias that's exactly what he looked like.
