(Amelia) *walking through woods* Diaval?

(Cassandra) you come here often princess

(Amelia) Madam Cassandra

(Cassandra) you always call me that because of Diaval, correct?

(Amelia) yes I do, that was the name he told me as a kid

(Cassandra) what brings you to these woods so often? Shouldn't you be in your castle with your father the king?

(Amelia) I love the forest, it's my escape from the castle I choose to hide here when I need space from princess duties

(Cassandra) your mother used to love these woods too

(Amelia) tell me more please of her

(Cassandra) as your father and I grew closer, he met your mother as she was traveling to your town, Raven was fascinated by birds she studied them while your father had his eyes set on her that is why they named you after a Raven

(Amelia) Raelynn is for Raven?

(Cassandra) yes it is, I call Diaval my Raven or crow as he is my guide but my guide is growing older and discovering new things at his age

(Amelia) he's my age correct?

(Cassandra) yes, Diaval is sixteen just like you

(Amelia) what's his story? He doesn't ever tell me growing up

(Cassandra) diaval was found at the age of five running the streets of this town, barefooted, covered in dirt, dark clothing, messy hair, tears in his eyes looking for a home that scared little boy ran to the woods where he found me, he told me where he came from and I chose to care for that boy like he was my own child as he promised to care for me when I grew old, he reminded me of a Raven his dark hair, blue and hazelnut eyes I knew his name was set to be Diaval Havran Corvus named after a Raven and Crow

(Amelia) so diaval lived here for as long as he could remember?

(Cassandra) yes he did, once he was old enough he started exploring the forest and met you, he finally had a friend and the two of you traveled all throughout this forest growing up

(Amelia) Madam Cassandra, do you think diaval would ever fall in love with someone?

(Cassandra) over time he may, but that would be if he really had his heart set on a special lady

(Amelia) my father believes every princess is destined to be with a prince

(Cassandra) that is fairytale protocol, a princess or young maiden of the age of sixteen is destined to meet her price and marry to thee prince

(Amelia) what if I don't see myself marrying a prince?

(Cassandra) then write your own destiny Amelia, nothing is stopping you

(Amelia) thank you madam Cassandra
