LANIA:

I was amazed at what I had missed out on my whole life. It was the longest walk I have ever taken to get to the outskirts of town, so I was there within 4 hours. Today was market day and hundreds of people were crowed around while chatter filled the air.

I reached over my back to put my hood on. The whole of it was a long dusty road but on the sides there was the markets. There were all different varieties of them. Food, clothing, pottery all you could imagine, and numerous of times I stop to have a closer look at some of the stock they were selling.

At some stage a shop keeper offered me to try one of his most finest pieces of jewelry on. I would have bought it but I did not being any of my fathers fortunes with me. I guess I hadn't thought of that before I had left the cottage, then it hit me. That is why gather doesn't leave any coins or anything around the cottage..

It had been what felt like so many hours since I left the cottage, and I was feeling sick of starvation. I was wrong leaving our cottage. I am such a terrible daughter, leaving the cottage without fathers permission. I was so light headed.

Everything around me was spinning rapidly in circles. I closed my eyes wishing the pain would disappear, and lost my balance. I felt myself falling, but do not remember hitting the ground. Instead warm strong hands wrapped around my waist.

The thunder strikes loomed in the clouds, rumbling down into the hard, wet earth, as cold, hard rain fell from above making me shiver inside and out.

After all I have known this day would come, I still felt numb thinking about what is to happen, but nonetheless what was done, is done.

Soon all of the pain and memories from my past tortured 18 years will be gone and all will come to worth, and it's within arms reach.

The surface beneath the hooves of my horse became instead of hard, wet soil; into the hard, slippery bricks of the road leading up to what my life has been depending on for the past 18 years.

As I got further up the road I noticed curious eyes of strangers all focused on me. The starvation written on their faces, the fear in their eyes, the nothingness racking in their brain. All of these I am far too familiar with.

I spent my life growing with people with these very symptoms my whole life, and then watching then slowly slip away and vanish.

I would feel sorry for them but.. I just can't bring myself to... Maybe I have rotted like they have often said.. Actually I know for a fact I have but it doesn't bother me as much as it used to a while back. I have grown to learn the hard way that it is what it is. I don't fight it.

Once I had gotten within the pass, I hauled to a stop, mounted off my horse and started to make my way to the entry.

Two guards stood off to each side of the platinum gate, giving me cautious looks. I'm not as bulky looking as much of the young men of my kind, but I use that to my advantage. Lets just say that I can still pelt the guys asses without 20 inched biceps.

"Accompany of her honor." I spoke with authority, even though really I had none.

"As to who?" The guard on my left questioned with a stern voice enough to make my blood boil.

I looked him straight in the eye,"Magnolia herself."

The two hesitantly looked at eachother and opened the gates for me to pass.

I smiled smugly and stepped forth, through to gates.

Ha.

..................................................

As I got to the throne room, my acquaintance was gazing impatiently at me.

I took a deep breath and walked down the long black isle towards the throne where her majesty was awaiting.

"Kneel." She commanded bluntly.

I did as told and look up at her.

"The day has come as planned."

"As it seems.." She narrowed her eyes at me. "Where is she?!"

"You know exactly where she is. I'm not taking her until I get what I want."

"With time, my dear. But first you must play your part."She smiled warmly and clicked her fingers. A Chancellor appeared with a basket covered with a cotton cloth.

He then came over to me and handed me the basket. I lifted the cloth to see a stack of apples. Apples?

"I'm not hungery. Thanks."

"They're not for you, fool!" She boomed at me causing me to squeeze my eyes shut at then sudden rise of her voice."...But for our prize..."

I questioned her quick change of attitude but then quickly started to question how apples will do any good in our plan.

As if reading my mind she stated,"The night of the ball, you will take her to the highest room of the tallest tower and offer her an apple." She says nodding towards the basket in my hands.

"And then what?"

"I'll leave that for you to find out." She smirked and then vanished leaving me with the basket of what I'm guessing to be 'the' poison apples.
